West bound at around 7.50 this morning. We had some fun before I came off at the Swindon Junction. Anyone on here?

My seatbelt release button has faded to a pink colour. Is there anyway of dyeing the plastic or reviving the colour. Also the RenaultSport stitching on my front seats has faded in colour so I was just wondering whats the best method of re-colouring it? Thanks

This car is doing my head in at the moment! today it as developed steering wheel wobble! am i right in thinking this is just a balancing issue?

As title. I fitted some front Koni shocks this weekend and stupidly went to the dump and got rid of my old ones :banghead:. I went to play with the damper stifness settings today and one of them only adjusts 180degrees of movement out of a possible 720degrees. Any possible fixes for this...

Has anyone got any tips to finding the best damper rate for use on the road? For example do you normally have the front or back stiffer etc? I dont mind a technical answer the information on damper settings the better please!!

As above. I noticed last night that the outside grip on the front tyres is facing the opposite way to that on the rears. I can't see anything obvious on there indicating the tyre direction. Does anyone know if theres a certain way round they should face?

Think my dephaser is on the way out but I wanted to see if its the solenoid causing it. What test is best to do to confirm its the dephaser and how do I go about cleaning the solenoid?

I've got a feeling I know what everyone is going to say but I just wanted to check! Just went out and started the car and there is a hollow ticking sort of noise coming from the left hand side of my engine. Would this be the dephaser starting to go or could it be something else?

This is a weird one. My cars developed a very quiet humming noise over the last few days. It seems to be most noticable at 80mph and around 40. If I depress the clutch so the engine is idling whilst travelling at these speeds the noise persists so I know its not engine related. However it...

I've noticed this before but a friend pointed it out to me again today. If you were to take the number plate light as being in the centre of the bumper (which it is) and then half each half. Right on that line on both sides my bumper indents ever so slightly. Is this becuase its french and...

This may be a stupid idea that's popped into my head purely because I've had such a boring and tiring day at work but here goes....... When I got the compbrake topmounts I didn't realise that they were too small for the strut holes but as I had just forked out quite a bit of cash on them I...

Saw you this afternoon around half 2. Anyone on here?

As soon as the engine has started the revs die off unless I blip the throttle. Then the car is fine and idles/runs as it should. Any ideas what could be causing this?

Ive just replaced my rear shocks with Koni ones as the rear end was starting to feel a bit twitchy in the wet. The shocks that we on there seemed pretty knackered but once compressed they would decompress themselves is this normal for the rear shocks, or do they sound like non renault ones?

As a general rule of thumb ive always though the handbrake mechanism should click around 4 times and then the brake should be on quite strongly. However whenever I tighten my handbrake cable up to around this tension it seems to become slack again within a few weeks? How tight is everyones...

Do Koni shocks come with the bushes and top mounts for the rear suspension. Also do the fronts come with the rubber shock covers or do you have to use parts from the stock suspension? Cheers

Cars on 92k now I'm starting to think about changing the dampers as I'm not sure they have ever been done. Are the Konis worth the money or should I stick to standard shocks? I've got eibach pro springs and do occasional trackdays.

Have just amped my direct Renault replacement pioneers and they sound allot better than before. I know what people hear and what they think sound good is very subjective. However do I need to set any High of Low pass filters up when amping components even though I do not have a sub-woofer...

Basically I want to amp my Pioneer TS-Q131C in the front and the similar Pioneers I have in the back (though I can't find the model they have yellow cones). I know some people on here go on about having only 2 speakers and that these speakers might not be up to par etc but this is what I...

Ive decided that I want my gearknob and the silver part of the centre console to match my door pulls which are in Iceberg Silver. As the console has that rubbery/plastic coat on it and its in fairly good nick I was just going to etch into it with a medium grade sand paper instead of...

As title is there a certain knack to removing the central heater vents on a PH1?

Set out to adjust the handbrake cable today then noticed that the inner rear pads were down to 0.5-1mm of pad! They have only been on there about 20,000 miles is this a normal amount of wear? They have been through a trackday as well. The drivers side disk was quite worn compared to the...

On the way home today I noticed that my drivers mat and the carpet are soaked. When I got back the carpet came up and the yellow soundproofing underneath is like a wet sponge! First thing I did was check the door seals which seemed fine so out come the hose! I sprayed the water in every...

Ive seen the car before it looks in great condition. Whoever it was beeped and waved. Anyone on here?

You sir are an idiot. It's people like you who slow down the UK's motorway network. Why did you feel the need to go slow in the outside lane whilst there was nothing in the inside 2 lanes? Not only did you do this BUT did you not wonder why the 10 cars in-front of me undertook you? I flashed...

Saw this on tuesday as I came on at the heathrow junction. Looked in very good condition. Anyone on here?

Had a private plate saw you on the road outside halfrods. Anyone on here?

Did my first trackday yesterday so I wasn't particually abusive to the car as I was a total novice. I blipped on down changes and didn't shift too quick on the ups. The car was fine on the 3 hour drive back home but when I nipped out in it today it ever so slightly crunches while downshifting...

Following on from the Espave V6 airbox and itg panel filter idea and bearing in mind the price of a maxogen kit for the 172 has anyone actually tried to replicate the kit just by using an itg maxogen JC60 airfilter as sold on merlin motorsports etc? I may be wrong but those filters look...

I'm looking to put 5mm spacers on my PH1 it give it he same track as the cup as ive heard it helps the handling a little. Obviously hubcentric spacers arn't really needed. Ive found some FK spacers for a reasonable price but ive got no idea on where to get the longer bolts from or what size...
