So my Clio has been in an accident (already written off once). The girl that hit the car made contact at the wing and then went down the door. Bump strip down on the door is crumpled. Wing is split, but should pop back together with some force.
Question is, if they write it off again (which is...
Need to invest in a new rad, is the one at ECP any good? More importantly fit right?!
Thanks

Just had my clutch done with these guys, cheapest quote I had received out of 4 garages! Used all Renault parts and oil (even fitted my PU arb bushes F.O.C while he was at it!)
Can not rate these...
Right, so I stripped a thread out of one of the lower inlet manifold holes today. Wasn't overly tightened, just let go.
I have looked at HeliCoil, hold a hefty price for the m8 kit. There are other brands on ebay, bit cheaper. Will the cheaper ones be suffice for this single hole?
Just recently I have been getting a short squeak (imagine rubbing a wet trainer on a tiled floor) as I turn the engine off.
Sounds like its coming from passenger side, but cant be 100% from inside the car
Likely that one of the engine mounts are on way out?
I've been having a few issues with the car starting. Within the last 4months its had new plugs, ht leads, coilpack, battery (not all at once), the car turns over but refuses to start. If I lock car (key), put alarm on (separate fob), disarm alarm, itll start. So my thinking is its possibly an...
Just wanted to make sure this small amount of oil that seems to collect around plug #1/the oil cap is from the VVT sensor. Not a lot of oil, just a PITA and a little bit of a mess
If so anyone got the part numebrs
Spotted a patch on the floor at work, popped my head under the bonnet and saw a nice greasy mess. Seem to be stemming from around the sensor (image below)
This a common problem that others have?
Any help on possible solutions?
Will the following be suitable for 172 ph2 gearbox
Would 3ltrs be enough, I know the fill quantity is 3.1ltrs

When it rains my headliner gets wet, one place only - passenger side, corner next to the sun visor. Cars a 172/non-sunroof.
I've done a search and tried what I could find from a search. I have the aerial out, put silicon around the hole and then on the nut on the inside. Screen has also been...
The dreaded airbag/serv light saga continues. Used my RSTuner to try clear the fault codes. Has done a couple of them. Two are left however. See image link below.
When I fitted my cage, i did break the plug under the drivers seat, so today i cut out out and soldered the wires together (based on...
Everything in my bay is either matt black or black wrinkle finish, apart from the aluminium induction bend.
is painting this black likely to create a little too much heat soak, or will it be ok?
I stripped the rear of my car, where are the plugs that the resistors need to be pushed into?
I can seem to find them, took rear seats and belts out a couple month ago and cant remember unplugging any plugs from them
Just want to know where theyll likely be in the car
Will be fitting my bolt-in cage next soon. Just after some advice/tips on the best way to do it
I'm already anticipating it being a right pita to get in
Thanks
My middle exhaust mount gave way today. Working away from home at the moment so no tools/jack/axle stands etc, went to a local garage who have said they can't get a part till Wednesday. I'm home middle of Friday
Question is - will the exhaust be alright till Friday with no middle hanger? I'm...
As in the push in/clip in ones. Mine are naffed and got water coming in from somewhere, hoping this is the cause. Auto-windscreens have leak tested it with constant running water on the 'suspect' corner of the screen for 30mins.Has any body ever replaced these?
Easy job? Pricey?
Few weeks ago I fit new discs and pads (brembo max + mintex pads). Pads were constantly squeaking (rotationally), took pads out and ground the backing plates down. Cured that
Now they just squeal when coming to a full stop
Any solutions welcome

recently i have noticed that my passenger side xeon isnt as bright as the drivers side, also appears to be more yellow than white when looking at them (any time of the day)
Is there a reason this is happening? what do I need/can I do to resolve the issue?

At the weekend the car was misfiring like mad. Had AA out and they checked all the injectors, leads, plugs, compression - ended up at conclusion of coil pack.
While all the misfiring was going on the engine managment light began flashing. Today I put a new coil pack on, misfire has gone but...
Had a diagnostics check done today, threw up a few codes so guy cleared them and ran it again and one popped back up. DF308 ( I think) 'bi-mode inlet solenoid' read a few threads after a search but still unclear as to what/where the isse is. Read that its something to do with the carbon...
Recently had a new centre section fitted, the garage that fitted it said the the clamp that joins centre section>back box was a 'special' clamp and couldn't get a new one without a new back box/rear section
So i said 'try use the old one first', they did but still blows a little. So i jusmped...
just lately, on startuo (usually first of the day/if been left a while) the needles go down lower than resting position, shake a little, and then rise to the level where they should be
Any reason for them doing this? Could it be cold/battery related?
Recently on start up I get a scratching/tickining/clicking sort of noise. Sounds as if it's coming form behind the speedo dial.
Any ideas what it is/could be?
After GSF gave me the wrong pump, which they assured me was the "correct" one....it wasn't. I've bought one off ebay, its listed as '05 model. But am i right in thinking that even though its for an '05 clio sport, itll be alright for an '02 clio sport. (hope so lol)
also which side (as you look...
had a quick search but couldn't come across what i was looking for.
in a morning (or afternoon, first start up of the day either way) theres a loud ticking that lasts about 5secs or so, and then stops. it is only on the first start up though.
it did it today and i counted 5secs, turned car off...
Thought it was about time i said Hai
been floating around for a while now, said i was getting one once finished uni, was saving (which took longer than i wanted it to lol) to get a 172. picked one up about 6weeks ago, so now own an iceburg silver ph2 172. loving it so far!!
on the look out for...
