Bonnet £130+ spraying & fitting, Bumper (guess) £150+ spraying & fitting, Headlights £100+ for pair, plus fitting, Fogs (guess) £60-£100 for pair plus fitting. All in at dealer prices I think you're looking at £1k+ Cost me £250 for a bonnet respray through the dealers many years ago :eek:

Civic?

it could be a charging system problem. Is the car harder to start after a long journey? If there's no drain, new battery fitted then that only really leaves a problem in the charging system.

I'm on 2 cars at present but only until mine is collected later today then the full policy transfers to my new car :D As soon as I drive the new one, my current cars cover expires.

washers took me all of an hour to do, and I had to drill the holes which are already there on the cup ;)

this is why I went for the 182 xenon units rather than opting to retro-fit them. The beam is perfect and car passes it's MOT every time.

If you can get hold of a wiring diagram, it should be possible to trace all the units which are; a) connected to live while the ignition is off. and b) not protected by the fuses you have removed. One of these will be the culprit.

Not too sure Brian tbh, the two seem linked I'm just trying to think of a reason why? :S

I'm not 100% but with all the fuses removed all I can think of is the fusible links at the starter although i'm not even certain on that car. It would explain things a little though.

going to a stealer I'm surprised it's not 1/4 lol! :rasp:

Ah i see. When the battery is low the starter will jam as there isn't enough current to fire it correctly. As for the current drain, where did he measure it?

lol yours is a 197 ;) At a guess the car in question is a 56 plate 1.2 Campus on the Mk2 Ph2 body shell with the new style bumpers (phase 3/4?)

see here mate

if i remember correcty the main fuses are in the engine compartment anyway, so taking out the fuses from the dash will only narrow it down. It could be that a relay in the engine bay is stuck/faulty causing a trickle current to be flowing at all times, hence the starter motor. The two are...

any amps or in car sound system etc? For 3amps @ 12v your looking for a sizeable amount of power. What was connected when drain was measured?

alarm? 10 hours is pretty quick tho so maybe it's something more substantial...? What was connected when this drain was measured?

ps don't start the 1.2 @ 120 debate again please I've been there! lol! As for repairs, genuine renault parts I would guess at £1k~ all in.

@ £325!!!!! :eek: :eek:

A new bonnet (not genuine) is about £115, expect to pay £100 + for spraying up maybe more. A carbon one is around £250 and yes they can be sprayed to match the paintwork.

unlucky mate, what gave? :S Ps carbon ;)

my 51 non-172 is 62k

lol, quality film mate ;) "you muggin me orf!?!?"

mugs...

expensive! I would be looking at £8k tops with 30,000+ miles mate.

does look well done, shame he didn't spend as much money on the rear as he did on front and interior. Wrong bumper, dodgy zorsts and no spoiler!

yes, as above.

linka nowa worka ;)

a hefty deposit that is usually demanded 24/48 hours after auction ends, but before you have time to view the 'car' and pay in full.

:dead:

welcome :D enjoy the 197 :rasp:
