Thought these were meant to be galvanised? The bubbling and slight paint flake is on both arches in the same place working its way up from the sill. The underseal in the arch seems to have ran and conjealed in globules close to the area where the paint has bubbled. Could this have caused this...

I'm trying to replace a stripped stub axle and have hit a snag. 3 of the four bolts have come out no problem however the fourth is being a bit of a pig and was going to resort to cutting it off and replacing. I've been to Renault and they tell me the smaller one is apparently discontinued...

Hi guys. I've stepped the internal thread of the hub nut trying to tighten up some play. I now can't get the nut off. It turns in both directions but won't wind off. Any tricks as to how to remove this nut?

Hi guys. My washer jets do diddly squat. I know both motors work when swapped over to do the windscreen. However when attached to this plug on the loom neither motor works. Is there a relay I need to look at that controls these. I can't hear one clicking of there is? Please help its nearly MOT...

I've had a problem with condensation for a while and I think I have tracked it down from where it is coming from. It looks as though the water has been seeping from being the bulkhead through the rubber seal that connects the cabin filter assembly to the feed pipe. How do I separate and can I...

Anyone run these on their clio? I was considering replacing mine with continentals however the wet weather grip seems to be the same. Will I notice any difference?

Hi guys had my clio for a month now and I'm working out all the little niggles. One of my xeneons had gone off so thought this is either new bulb or ballast time. I've been back out and the headlight is now working. Any takers as to why this has happened? Obviously I'm pleased it's working but...

After having had my car two weeks exhaust Centre section split. Garage I bought the car from replaced the Centre section with a brand new one so v pleased. Unfortunately the backbox doesn't appear to have gone back on properly. There looks as though there is only one hanging bracket is this...

Gutted and pretty peeved I have to say! this is on the centre silencer section. Gave it some gas and next thing i know it's blown a hole in it. Couple of question guys. 1. what's caused it? Is this likely to have happened because there must be another hanger off? 2. what chance do you...
