Ah right...! I thought it was on the front two- that anwsers the question!

I was talking about the fronts?

Hi, I have been wondering recently about putting on the handbrake after a drive when the discs are hot, how bad it is for the brakes? I usualy try to let them cool down but living pretty central in London I don't reallt want to leave it off even though the road is flat (i live 20mins from...

Has anyone on here used anyone good in North London for Renault? Looking for a specialist. Thanks, Alex

Though they must be? A garage was telling me they where the same size...

Are the pads the same size as a standard clio for the 182's at the front? Also, does anyone know a good specialist in north london? Thanks Alex

The garage is refusing to supply me with a list of the work carried out on the car, saying as it was an insurance claim they don't need to. The insurance company say they don't release this info either. Anyone been through this before? Thanks, Alex

I think I will have to get a factory one fitted if I win the claim, unless they decided to give me the money to the value but I doubt it.

I have decided to make a claim against REA Renault for the splitter as all communication has broken down and they have made a final offer. Is there anyone on here who has made a this type of claim before, or anyone who has had problems with the REA group? Thanks, Alex

Clio's come with that part as standard?

Does it count as a mod i need to tell my insurance about?

They have offered me £50 comp...

Tell the dealer who damaged it you want a fooking new one!:mad: leon It was a Renault dealer in London. They took the car in to do some other stuff and they offered to try to fix it as it was cracked. They bassicaly broke it into 3 peices when taking it off and just stuck it back on - it...

Hi, Has anyone used the carbon front splitter that K-TEC sell? If so, how easy is it do fit and is it well made- ie will it fall off in 6 months? A dealer damaged mine and it seems cheaper to buy thiers buy about 40% then get a new one from Renault! Thanks Alex

Hi, Does anyone know anyone in/near London who does alloy wheel refurbs (182) who's any good/reliable/reasonable? Thanks, Alex

I've allways got about 22mpg around town, and have never seen above 33... i drive sensibley, could there be something wrong with the car?

I pay £1,000 for a 182 with Direct Line who were by far the best with 4 years NCB in London, i've just lost 2 of those and i'm planning to sell when i need to renew as i can't justify over £1000 on insurance when i only use it at weekends. probably works out at £20 a drive!

Ring Renualt with the car details and they will confirm.

How/where did you manage to get a 197 in exchange for that? My 182 is with Renault in enflield and they wont even give me a hire car.

I will get them fitted either way, I dont mind paying a bit extra to convenience but how much of a rip of is that? If I can get them fitted local (London) easily for less than £80 I would do it.

Just got the go-ahaed from the insurance today... took AGES! The pads need doing, garage said £117 for them both, is this reasonable? It seems easier to get them done at the same time... at least they agreed to everything else, I belive the bill came to over £4000....

Whats cat c exactly?

If it is a write off will that cause problems for me in the future with insurance?

I doubt it, doesnt it need to be a lot more than that? Cars worth about 9000.

Oh, forgot to mention the price: £4707

Hearing back from the dealer now, as well as all the previous mentioned it will need shocks and serius chassis work...

After damaging my car and leaving it for a an insurance claim at a London dealer i called renault direct and made a complaint, the next day I got an apology from the magager of the branch and the work is being done now, try that, the number is on the website.

Yeah, gonna make sure shes perfect!

Just been speaking to my insurance and have decided to claim, they are already on the way to pick it up. Renault said the airbags will be about £700 and my exess is half that so I might as well get it all done properly. It's going to Renault Enfield now for a quote, anybody ever used them...

Thanks for the replies. I will probably take in to Renault to get the ball rolling with estimates for the airbag, i think the alloy and 2 tyres will set me back about 250-300, just hope everything else is ok apart from the airbags! Any idea on the cost for getting the seat sorted where the...
