It's not actually that common. The only reason you read about it so much, is that no one posts on the forum saying "Cambelt hasn't snapped today" Common misconception with forums. People only ever ask for help when something goes wrong, for every problem, theres a thousand people who haven't...

Brake pedal sensor costs fack all from Renault, and takes 30 seconds to fit

Knackered ABS sensor. They shouldn't have gone anywhere near an ABS sensor though, just doing the rear pads.

Standard callipers are more than up to the job. Uprated pads are all you need.

Spax wanted to keep it fairly close to their chest originally, so I'm not sure if you will find out.

I develop a superiority complex, and proceed to shake my head while boosting past.

Pads on the rear may as well be just cosmetic. They're only really there for the handbrake.

With respect, it's all well and good saying it "could be this" and "could be that" but no one will know without seeing the car. You're best off getting it to some one who knows, not the mechanic who told you flood water has stripped the grease off the pulleys. They're all on bearings.

Jesus... 5 years? Was one of the smartest back in the day.

I'm just going to leave this here.

In all seriousness, I doubt it will be this. First off would be to see whether the whine is related to engine speed or the drivetrain speed. Does the whine occur when the engine is revved, or when the wheels are turning.

I had a whining noise under acceleration. I'm single now though, so it's gone away.

Something's not right there.

They were developed on my car, and there's no scrubbing here. the car was on superleggeras without spacers when it went down, with a higher offset than the standard wheels, so I can't see why there should be any scrubbing at all?

Now you just need to do a write up for Jons Tuscan ;) Love that car. Goes sideways absolutely everywhere.

and yet I bet it's still rotten underneath ;)

Those old american videos are awesome at explaining everything. There's one for how a gearbox works as well.

I hate this thread.

Just out of curiosity, the person who told you this little nugget, are they a particularly good friend? Because it sounds like they're trying to kill you.

Unless you like straight lines, I wouldn't weld the diff on a front wheel drive car.

Love Dubai, amazing place. Really nice pictures, 10 sums up the atmosphere perfectly for me though.

Despite being turbocharged I personally don't see any difference in power or economy, between running 95 and 97 octane, so I stick with 95. Cheaper and more available.

It's no Renaultsport Clio either, but what's your point?

I'm not denying that it doesn't make a difference, but only on an engine that produces enough compression to cause premature detonation on lower octane fuel. A 2 litre Clio is not that special.

You want a real laugh? Dear Audi, my turbos have blown.

Those wheels have never seen a 172. No idea what they are. Those rear lights are horrible, and the standard ones that you're car came with would look good.

Could you price me up a new exhaust system please? Certainly sir, that'll be £1200. Plus VAT.

You sure the guy heard you right? Because "price on a bulb" and "how much per month is that new clio?" sound remarkably similar.

You'll know if the bulb goes, because they turn pink. My money is on the starter. I also bet that it hasn't broken. Take it to bits, dry it out and plug it all back together again, making sure the plug on the end of the green wiring is pushed right the way onto the starter.
