    Airbag Servicing

    Thanks. Read in the Haynes manual that it can only be tested by Renault using their special tool. Hope it snot too expensive. Was going to swap plastic phase 2 wheel for leather phase 2 wheel anyway and swap the airbag over. See if that cures it and then if not go to Renault. Am I right...

    Airbag Servicing

    Guess most Valver owners either dont have an airbag or have an aftermarket wheel fitted. Has anyone ever got their bag checked as think Haynes mention this should be done every few years and my warning light on dash (which I think is also seat belt related) stays on quite often now. Just...

    Sleeping in my valver

    Used to sleep in the valver when recovering from clubbing. Phase 2 seats are dead comfy when you recline them fully. Only trouble is the condensation on teh inside and Toad alarm arming itself and going off every now and then even when using the valet mode thingy.

    Bridgestone Tyres

    Yeah when I got my valver 4 years ago had differnt brand on every corner so got the S03s as couldnt get S02s. They are OK and were about 50 quid a corner for 195/50/15. Think Eagle F1 and from what I here Michelin Exalto 2s are better. Got 18K out of them and now have Eagle F1s. RE050s are...

    DIY oil change

    Just did my valver for the first time and in my eyes, it is better to go to National Tyres or somewhere similar as they do it for less than the parts cost. Duckhams QXR semi is 20 quid inc filter and the oil costs that by itself. Their synthetic is called BP 7000 and is 25 quid. Always used...

    FAO...valver owners

    Always wanted a 205 GTI but thought I woudl only be able to afford the 1.6. Then plumped for the Valver at group 11 insurance and 5K for a 5 years old car with 44k miles on it. Worth getting only if you can afford the insurance, Think mine was 500quid region when I got it at 26 and isnt much...

    FAO...valver owners

    Commute on Bypass for half my journey and a/b roads the rest and get around 360-400 depending if ecotek is on or off. That is the warning light plus another 40 miles as always know I have about 40 miles or so when the light comes on. Then about 40 quid to fill up. They are great cars if you...

    FAO...valver owners

    Get arround 400 miles per tank as you dont have to drive above 4.5k all the time, only when you want to. Oil usage isnt a litre a month either. Last work on my car was done at 72k when cambelt was changed and also got clutch done. Nothing apart from oil changes since and on 96k.

    Harly wax

    Did a search and you can get from USA direct for a bout $17 which with the current exchange rate is good but shipping may be lots. Think someone stated that P1 wax or something from Harly dealers was one of the best to use but this stuff may be different.

    Service in Rugby

    Im from Kenilworth and never heard of them. Any good? Where are they? Tend to go to Pete Scale in Leamington as he works for cash inhand at 25 quid an hour so got him to do my clutch and fit supersprint manifold. Where you from Lunner?

    gsf discount

    Mine in Leamington had to check with Head Office ato verify as I thought we were supposed to get some kind of car through. Just gave member number and name mentioning cliosport and showed card and all was OK. Trade discount was 5% according to my local GSF so Cliosport discount better.

    Dealer what they offered for my 182!!!!

    So moral of the story is to lose least amount of money get one as cheap as possible, regardless of where from new. And if not bothered about cup packs then get an import or go to a supermarket. And if not getting a cup and keeping because its the car you want then can always add better...

    Dealer what they offered for my 182!!!!

    And all those who said get an official UK rather than import or motropoint because of resale must be feeling rather glum now. Id rather save the money in the first place and you would lose less in the long run. Unless of course I am wrong and the imports are going for 8 or 9k which I doubt.

    How Williams’ Influence the Williams’

    If you have read the latest top gear with the M5 in and an interview asking Williams about any connection, they say the first they knew about the Clio Williams was when they were on sale.

    questions on a 16v ive just seen

    <SCRIPT language=javascript> I think the phase two looks more rounder and subtler than the phase one. Seats are bolstered more and hug better than phase 1. Rear lites match the rear end and flow into rear quarter better. Less boxy as units too. Rear strip looks better and flows into...

    questions on a 16v ive just seen

    Not stated the milage socant say if a good price but guessing K is a phase 1 and you could get a phase 2 for similar money. Gearstick moving is probably the dog leg mount that wears and means the stick will move backwards when accelerating. About 50 quid fro a new uprated one fitted. Main...

    Whiplash compensation

    Thanks Mike. Really unsure so was asking advise. Solicitor was trying to tell me to wait till next year and claim as the longer it is the more money you get. Think that is wrong to do that. Specialist says I should be OOK in 6-9 months so hope so. Just really need to try and go to the gym...

    Valver with grey leather

    Doubt that high. Book price probably 2 grand but Valvers and Willys go for whatever somone is prepared to pay. Would guess 2.5 grand tops. Cambelt due at 72k or 5 years old. My N reg would only get 3k for I think and thats with mods and leather. Paid 5k 3.5 years ago on 48k and now on 91k.

    Whiplash compensation

    As to my claim, was just wondering what was normal as I dont think you can really put a price on the pain I suffered for 2 weeks and quality of life reduction by missing out on a summer and not being able to partake in sports or social activities I would usually. Had a track day with 5 laps in...

    Whiplash compensation

    On the 7th June I was shunted from behind at a junction and did not think much of it, with damage to the rear bumper and passenger side tail light. Woke up the following two days feeling sick and with back pain and resulted in 2 weeks off work, having to lay down in bed which wrecked my 30th...

    16v oil

    Think Haynes manual recommends Duckhams QXR and that is what you can get National Tyres to use with filter for 20 quid all in. Used to charge 15 quid but oil on own costs 20 quid plus filter plus dirty hands. Worth it IMHO. Fully synthetic is only 5 quid more too. Find after last change...
