Check water level in expansion tank. Otherwise you might have a faulty interior temp sensor. Do the fans go right up to full or near full when you put it up to 26C

I tried a set of these chequer plate ones in the past.. tbh they were crap, my heel kept getting caught on the edges of the chequerplate and was to a point slightly dangerous so I wont be going for them again. I want the Justmatz one so it retains the original style but I think they are...

No, Although Alpine made the Renault Changer I dont think they are in any way compatible with the standard apline stuff. Even the plugs are different.

300 !! :o for some pads ! Just get the K-Tec Kevlar ones or something for £25 a set, and no its not difficult, just need a caliper wind back tool or a DIY equivelant.

Well thats one I havent had yet (the rattely passenger seat).. looking forward to joining that club.. :cry:

its actually quite scary when you think about how much you spend on a car, including fuel, insurance etc. Insurance £700/year Fuel about £30-40/week Road Tax £160/year 6x new tyres + fitting ~ £400 Spray work £50 Suspension £130 Servicing £160 (will be £350 soon as 24k service comming...

Ye but you have a far better car than the golf GTi for you money.. no ? I dont like to think how much my car costs me, and what I could have spent the money on instead (holidays etc) I would be quite a well off person if I didnt pump most of my money into my car.

Ye that sounds like me.. the Cup/172/182 discussions are allways humorous.. if a little repetative.. http://erc.qmuc.ac.uk/suicide.gif
