Got tpft insurance I could probs get windscreen cover but won't be worth it my excess is a few hundred £s being a young guy :(
Hope it can be repaired I'll go to autoglass and get a quote tomorrow.
I got a chip in my windscreen 1 day after owning my car it's a tiny chip with a crack that runs through it about 1cm in length. Crack is huge compaired to the circular chip.
Will this fail an mot? It's straight in font on me as I sit in the driverseat.
Oh that's a bit sh*t mate sounds like relatively easy fixes though.
Mines running fine after getting the head gasket replaced (didn't know it was broken when I bought it) and timing done. It just needs tidied up a bit refurb of wheels some new tires and that's about it.
SK54 VKE is my plate. I think the guy does homers but didn't want to do my timing belt so told me he would book it into his bros garage Rentec for me.
What does your Clio look like?
I got the number for that guy you were trying to get hold of on ec from a friend, it's that guys brother that owns Rentec.
I'm from colinton mains, just down from oxgangs and dreghorn.
Were you on Edinburgh cruise asking for help on something ??
Don't know how new they are just got recommended them through a friend, both mechanics worked for Renault I think there both were master techs. £528 for timing belt and aux not sure on tensioner. Phone them up mate the guys always...
Prowerflex dogbone mounts fitted :D I love the improve ment it just makes the whole car feel tighter. It took me ages to do since I only had basic tools but it's worth it in the end.
Well got the car back yesterday and all is good :D
Timing and aux belts done, new headgasket, head bolts, oil, oil filter.
So pleased there's no problems........well the heatshield rattles but it did that before I put it into the garage. I'm going to tighten it up at the weekend and fit my...
I know what you mean mate the paint looks very nice in the sunlight. I didn't even notice the gold when I bought the car as it was a bit dirty. Only got one scratch on it, it's about an inch long just behind the door on the drivers side. I got a quote of £230 to spray the 3/4 panel and the door...
Do the head bolts just work themselves loose or do they stretch? There the only Renault specialist I know local and I checked and they use the genuine locking tools for timing.
Absolutely gutted to say the least!!!
Car went into get the timing belt and aux belt done a few hours later the garage phone me saying that there is oil leaking from the head so the head gasket needs done and it would be cheaper to fix it now rather than leave it and get it done another time...
Quick question I have a 54 plate 182 will it have the twisted dogbone mount or just the inline dogbone mount? I'm wanting to buy uprated bushes but I'm unsure on which ones to get and my car is at the garage so I can't check.
Thanks
