Hey all,
Got my car going in for service / MOT in the next couple of weeks.
Its on 73k (belts changed 2 years ago on 60k) -
What service should it go in for? Full or Interim?
Cheers
MOT Time soon, dont have washer jets in my bonnet (carbon, being replace so dont want to spend mony I dont need to)
Any ideas on what to do for a temporary, cost effective fix?
Ive seen a few suggestions of a Seicento washer jet (which Ive subsequently purchased) I just need mounting ideas...
Ok, spotting at FCS is stupid but I didnt go, but had to go Asda.
Seen Middo at 15.45, flashed you but I dont think you saw me
Also seen a Silver V6 with the plate Clio V6 - thank you very much!
The missus now wants one ;)
I convinced you into letting me out of the Car Park :)
Not sure if you are on here, or may have seen the sticker in the window as you were stuck behind me for 40 mins!
Right, my standard HU is making crazy noises occasioanlyy, doing my head in.
Im lining up a Dension Ice Link FM as I had one in my car and the iPod is my weapon of choice.
I dont wanna get the Ice Link for a fubared Head Unit.

Something affordable, dont require top of the...
Right, probably gonna get a better response here.
Wanna lower my car, but cant justify Coilovers (saving for a house)
Saner has some Sportlines Here
I assume they are fitted to his 182, are they ok for my 172?
Lowering springs cost to add to my policy with Greenlight/Highway?
Looking to lower it shortly, probably just springs and not Coilovers, damn finances ;)
Just need 2 basic price ranges (gonna ring tomorrow when they are open)
1. To add to my current policy (22, 1yr driving, 1yr no claims)...
You had a CS sticker in your rear window - Texaco / KFC Corby......1700 1/2/08
I parked next to you but i think you were mucnhing on your box with ya old man ;)
Got it booked in for the 17th.......
Ill be doing the usual checks but:
How much should I be looking to pay?
What should be done and what shouldnt? (cambelt is done early, although thats a 72k service)
My Xenon washers dont work :( I removed the bumper and the blockage is before it reaches...
What would be the ideal size for my Full Fat - I dont know what dimensions are needed to order either.
These will be coming from a 3rd party with no returns for wrong sizes
No Turini haters, please.
I have 195/45/16 tyres at the moment - so would like to use those.
Girlfriend is gonna order...
My 172 had a new exhaust fitted 06/05/06, genuine renault part but fitted at a tyre store (previous owner)
What warranty would Renault offer on the part?
Wil be phoning the garage tomorrow, but would like to know if its a std 2yr warranty thingy.
Where?
Dotn want this to turn into a GDI are scum thread.
Am I ok to take it there for a cambelt change?
Anywhere else reputable?
Roger Denton - I believe - was a Renault Engineer with Mike@Rentech - I assume he knows his spuds, got quoted £474(ish) including water pump.
Advice please?
Car...
Spotted and drove along side a Racing Blue 182 on the M6 Saturday around 11 I think, I was in the Monaco Blue bus.
Black PH-Quick parked in a school car park (£10 entry) around 15 mins from the venue.

Looks a good price, illiteracy and lack of payment + postal info (feedback?) suggests possible ripper.
Offered me it £80+£10 p&p then backed out.
