Where are people getting their info on the 5-10 year guarantees on these things? One of my Xenons is not working - the dealer wont repair under warranty as it claims that no bulbs/lamps are covered after the 1st year. After inverstigation the Muppets cant tell me which part is faulty - the...

Sounds far to easy! Is it simply bolted to the CAT with two bolts? Ill have a butchers tomorrow when its day light - then Ill make a decision as to whether Ill get one on order and set aside a Sunday - Ill change the oil while Im down there! Any idea how long it should take? Couple of hours...

Anyone know whats involved with fitting? Is it simply a matter of unbolting the old one behind the Cat and bolting the new in place? I understand that you need to cut the old one off near the rear axle as in the factory its fitted as a one piece system before the axle is offered up to the car...

Howd you guess? :oops: Might be covered under "Parts Warranty" yet as the part is under 12 months.

Cheers guys. Im taking it off cause I have a faulty Xenon that Renault refuse to fix - its outside of 1st year contractual warranty and anything to do with headlamps isnt covered apparantly! This Im in dispute with Renault UK about at the mo as its a Xenon and not a standard lamp - the dealer...

Does anyone know how to do this? Had a quick go today without the car jacked up and cant see how the bumper is attached. Cheers Rich

Hi Folks not been around for a while so hope your all well.... Got the 4K rattle back again and Renault wont fix as its outside of 1st year contractual warranty. If they did, it would probably resurface again a year down the line so Ive decided to get a cat back system fitted to cure the...

Imports wont come with an alarm. Its easy to get a decent aftermarket one fitted for less than 400 notes. Id check with Reno UK first about the 3 year warranty situation on cars from Cyprus though. Theres been some talk about the Cyprus imports not being covered for the extended period...

Thatll be the washer bottle that needs replacing then! I had mine done about a year ago. It was so bad that the water was actually coming out the bottom and running past my feet as I was topping the bottle up - wondered why it was taking so long to fill up! Off to Renault again then Mike?

I had this problem. They replaced it no questions asked the milage was 12K and the car about 9 months old. CO-OP motor group Derby.

One of my Xenons blew shortly after getting the Car back from the repair shop a few weeks ago. This is the opposite one to the one I had replaced after the accident. Anyone know if these are covered under warranty?? My cars in for its 24K service on the 25th so Im gonna get them to look...

Nice one John - Im green with envy! A willy 1 and 172 on TBs. Hmm, now which one shall I drive today! Rich

Except mine! :devilish:

LOL! Sounds like its gonna be a fun day tomorrow. Wish I could make it but the DIY beckons! Have fun chaps. Rich

mate it will kill you on the fuel bills compared to the valver!

Hmmm - that must be the new shape cause the one Ive drive is a 2.5V6

Ellas brother has one of these. Ive driven it on numerous occasions. Not very quick IMO, although the V6 does have a nice note to it. Heavy car though.

Cheers guys + gals. Its like having a new car all over again. Ive been driving a 1.2 punto the last few days so getting back into the clio Im all at home again - Im sure it never felt this fast before! - it feels worlds apart. All the controls are way too light in the fiat and that (sh)city...

Well after 3 1/2 weeks in the body shop, Ive just taken delivery of my newly repaired 172, and boy is she lookin fine. As good as new. Looks like theyve gone the whole hog, and replaced everything that was damaged with new. New bonnet - which surprised me - thought theyd straighten out the...

Just called the garage and shell be ready in 2-3 weeks, no definate date yet as they said theres lots of work. I dont even get a courtesy car.:cry: Also the insurance arent gonna pay my telephone expenses from the day. Another big bill to fork out. Also just relised that the 36 metres of...

Boy, I could have done with some of that run off the other Sunday!

Cup172 - Youll love it. I went last year and had a cracking time. Its ace. I think they try and deter passengers by charging so much and stating that there not allow in the pits. Both times last year passengers were allowed in the pits and passenger rides on track. Not one to be missed I...

Paddy - Direct Line - I crashed on the Nordshleife, which is (Im told) legally a pubic toll road, therefore road insurance should apply by default. The German police also class it as a public toll road. Apparently many people have successfully claimed through their insurance before, but the...

My Baby was picked up yesterday and is now in the workshop having the damage assessed ready for the insurance company. I had a real close look again yesterday and it appears that the oil on the undertray seems to have got worse since coming home, this wasnt there before the accident – not good...

Y0z2a - twas me that had the bump. Just found out from Edd that someone else had an incident there on the Friday under similar circumstances. Looks like there may have been some oil/coolant on the tarmac outside of the racing line - that would explain why I came off when I was feeling my...

Cheers dogmaul. Sorry to have involved you in the incident and I hope your knee and neck are getting better. Its looking good from the insurance point of view. Received a letter this morning asking me to get quotes from a repairer of my choice. It also said that their was no need to fill in...
