    Urgent....brake fluid change!!

    Hi chaps, I'm changing the brake fluid on the car (182), so I've undone the rear-furthest bleed nipple and attached my non-return valve on there. Trouble is, after 20 minutes of brake-pedal pumping I've got a tiny bit of fluid, and lots of air.....is this the biggest ever air-lock or am I...

    New runaround...

    I've swapped the BMW for Big G's well-cared for 182: Handles like my old FRP, but with the comfort of the V6...perfect combination for what I need at the moment. Big G, thanks for tea, I hope you're enjoying the sunshine. Keep in touch. A bit of Scotland....

    Blue Valver - A420

    V6 gone.....time for something quicker

    Its been a strange 6 months of ownership, no car has ever caused me so much joy and pain in such a short space of time, but now I have sold the Mk1 V6. One experience I take away with me is knowing how absolutely useless the majority Renault dealers are, and how pathetic Renault Customer Service...

    V6 Trophy Splitter

    After Tims recommendation, Ive now got a nice V6 trophy splitter which was made by Ray Sissins (R.S Motor Services). Like all the others fitted to mk1s it needed a bit of cutting down, but nothing major. I think Ill have to avoid any roads that have speed-bumps/potholes/uneven...

    Video Camera Holder

    A while ago there was a post about a Video camera mount for the Clio. It clamped onto the headrest uprights and allowed the camera to be take the view between the driver and passenger. Anyone know who supplies these at a decent price? Thanks.

    Warranty work when warranty runs out...

    If you report a problem to Renault before the warranty expires, and they can not find the problem until after the expiry date, is the claim still valid? I have a suspected gearbox oil leak, and the garage has put some UV dye in the oil and asked me to put 200-300 miles on the car and come...

    RAID on Mk1 V6

    Does the UK spec Mk1 Clio V6 have the Renault Anti-Intruder Device fitted as standard? (you drive above 4mph and the doors lock)... ..my car is with Renault, and their RTE has spent the day scratching his head, wondering why it doesnt work (although it beeps when you hold the button down). He...

    Debate: Is this covered by warranty

    Is this covered under the Renault 3 year warranty? (the panels have never been removed, damaged, etc. the paint is just starting to flake) My car is in with Renault as we speak, and its sounding like they might argue it, so is it worth fighting my corner with this one? (btw, what youre...

    V6 Car Ramps

    Does anyone know of any portable car ramps that will work for the V6? Obviously the front is very low, and I think most ramps are too short. Any suggestions welcomed!

    My V6 might blow up!

    ...but then again it might not :p My warranty will run out in March, and I dont like the idea of owning a French concept car with no backup, so Ive been looking it warranty options. Warranty Direct is the obvious choice, which costs about £35 a month for cover. Is anyone else planning to get...

    My car stinks

    Whenever I have my aircon on, and to some degree, just the fan, my car puts out this old manky smell. Could this be down to the pollen filter, what else can I check? Thanks.

    Momo Jet Steering Wheel

    After getting completely fed up with the standard Renaultsport steering wheel in my V6 (after only 3 weeks of ownership), I have replaced it with a Momo Jet, 320mm. This wheel is the nuts. As opposed to the standard wheel, this one feels like its been designed by someone who has fingers and...

    Aftermarket Steering Wheels

    Has anyone got any recommendations for a replacement steering wheel for the mk1 v6/172? The original wheel is far too big, and reminds me of my parents Scenic (at least that looks like a bus). Would a smaller wheel help create a more direct feel when cornering? I dont want a new one to look...
