mmmmmmm... good point about the dealers...they probably havent seen a williams there for ages with them being quite rare... Might give some of the others a go...Ta.

The way I figure it is that a renault stamp on the 72k service may cost 266 quid... Youre likely to recover the 266 quid when you sell it anyways, with the fact that renault handled the job being a handy baragining tool.

Ive just spoken to Renault Manchester whove quoted me £266 for a cam belt change on my williams... Has anyone had it done cheaper, if so how much and where? I just want the renault stamp in the service history but I dont want to flog a kidney to get it...

It was just a normal gatso...not a truvelo thank chuff. The other thing was it was 7am in the morning and about 2 other cars on the road...when I went passed it I must have been doing about 60mph max in a 50mph zone...not 110mph in rush hour. Speed limits are for jessies anyways.

Heres a new one, see if anyone knows the answer. I got flashed by on of those B*stard speed cameras yesterday... only thing was that I was on the opposite carriage way to it going in the other direction.... ie: instead of me driving over the calibration lines on the road and it flashing and...

aaaaah, so the starter turns the engine over but it wont fire into life..... right..... it aint the starter motor then... could be a whole host of other things... does it almost fire up? so you get the sound of the starter then the engine trie to come in but cant quite manage it? or do you...

More likely to be the CV joint, make sure they put the rubber gaitor back on it right with plenty of grease inside, with it being worse round one corner than the other that souns like a definite culprit...the CV joint will sound like a rumble if its shagged. Either that or theyve put you a...

SOunds very much like what happened to mine last week, the click you hear when you turn the key is the solenoid clicking into place, its an electro magnet that forms a switch between 2 contacts to power the motor. You can rule out flat battery by turning the ignition on and putting your...

Nice one, Ill give it a go at the weekend...

One of my bulbs has gone behind the speedo, has anyone taken there dash out to replce bulbs before? If so whats the best way of getting the beast off without damaging it? Help, its getting on my wick already.
