Phase 1 172.
On buying this car the front fogs did not work. Closer inspection fuse blown. Replace fuse and it blows immediately.
Before i get the meters out is this a common problem ? Where do i start ?
Local supplier has GAZ rear struts available at £59 a piece. How do these compare to standard fitment which i was originally going for ? I believe the Renault items are about the same price but GAZ are adjustable in compression and rebound.

Anyone ever used Chips Away ?
I have a couple of small dents in my door where the paint is unbroken .
Anyone have any experience of Chips Away ? Are they expensive ?
