How much do you think those group c cars will go for?

Mines the same. squeaked going over bumps and round bends, the dealer used one of their stock phrases " Its your seat runners, its a common fault". Booked car in for dealer to fit new ones but when I went to pick the car up they hadnt done it because "Your car is an import and the runners are...

Taken fron Speed trap bible (http://www.speed-trap.co.uk www.speed-trap.co.uk) What is the time limit, within which you can be prosecuted. The police have to serve a summons on the defendant within 6 months of the date on which the prosecutor (normally the CPS) certify that they have collated...

Aaron, have a qick re-read of what I wrote. You are correct.. well apart from the bit about lacking the male hormone :cry:. As you have said, men like to compare, and to quote myself "I am as interested as the next man to see how different cars compare with each other". I may challenge...

I dont usually post on these type of conversations, mainly because 1) Im not always looking for a race with someone else to go shouting about, 2) I know that my car is quick but accept there are quicker cars than mine out there and 3) I respect the fact that people buy their cars for differing...

My light comes on every time when I reach 8.6 gallons used and 36 miles remaining, no matter how hard or easy I drive the car, its always the same.

You get 3 years warranty on imports. (so long as the car was sourced from the EU)

This may not help as you say everyting is tight, but my car developed a similar fault. The part of the latch that is attached to the main body of the car was loose and rattling. Tightened it up myself - no probs since.

Pootle was my favorite character in the Flumps. :) Ah.. memories. Oh and Hello all.

I have Rainsports. IMHO they are similar in performance to the contis (probably because they are made by the same people), but possibly* have more superior grip (especially in the wet) & wear better. * Ive not had any other makes of tyres on my 172, and Im no expert. There have been a number...

Albert Park in Melbourne is the same (public roads). Ive been round there, posed for pics outside the pits, usual tourist stuff. Very strange because the only other times Id had seen it was on the TV with F1 cars wizzing around it, and there I was with just the odd road car, couple of cyclist...

I queried how often the pollen filter should be changed when I had my 12k sevice. Some said it didnt need changing until 36k. Renault UK however have informed me that it is every 12k for the pollen filter. Just out of interest how much was your service?

Wind chill does not affect inanimate objects! The wind chill factor measures how much energy (or heat) the body will lose per second depending on how much skin is exposed to the wind.This means the wind chill factor doesnt affect objects that arent alive.

I would imagine the DD will get a ban (prob 2 years) and a fine, its hard to tell what will happen to James. As others have said "ignorance is no excuse". But you will probably find it all depends on the attidue of 3 people - the arresting policeman, the prosecutor, and the magistrate.

OK, as I suspected garages do NOT have to display a price-list. As for Renault UK, again, as suspected they couldnt give me any straight answers to my questions and said I would have to talk to the service manager at the dealers. The only piece of information given was that each dealer set...

ak - I assume you mean GSXR750? Here you are: GSX-R750 - 162 MPH 117BHP/12500 RPM 166 kg (dry)

Thanks very much for that info Bob (and others). An invoice for £184 would have been much more in line with what I was expecting. Just to confirm, Renault say that it is a 1.5hr job for the service? and the pollen filter should not have been replaced at this service? It has also been...

Ive got a video form Fast Bikes mag. In it they take the Busa over an indicated 200mph on a French Dual carriageway. BIKE tested its standing 1/4 at 10.4 sec and a speed of 137 MPH. The GSXR600 will do the 1/4 mile in 10.7 sec @ 129 MPH. As a rider I have to say that the current crop of...

I had wondered about the need to change the pollen filter. On the Service Programme Check Sheet I have, it says to "replace parts according to the parts repacement programme", but I cannot find any reference to the pollen filter amongst the various booklets I have. If anyone can point out where...

Thanks for all your comments. I agree that I should have made sure of the cost before I had the service done. As I said, I would have expected it to be around the £150 - £170 mark, but £235! :o GR & Bob – I don’t have the ability to scan the invoice, but for all you who are interested I can...

My 172 had its 12k service today. The dealerships customer service was once again, poor. For the service which only required a single wiperblade on top of the usual consumables, they have charged me a total of £235. I was a bit taken back, I only expected it to be £150 - £170 (and on phoning...

Both mine were also replaced under warranty. Imported car. No questions asked by dealer - "its a known fault". Took 2 visits though, as they had to order in the repacement parts. As paul said, bumper off job that took them about 2 hours .

James, The way Im reading your first post you purchased the car from a Renault dealer. If this is the case, then did your car not come with a warranty of some kind? Is the gasket (and possibly the brake hoses) covered by this? I could be wrong , but (on the mainland at least) I thought that...

I too will vote for the Auto Glym stuff. I have tried Wonder Wheels too but I prefer Auto Glym.
