cheers rick, i see what youre saying now - nice rims by the way! i dont know if i will get to elite tomorrow now, my car is in the hands of some cretins at a garage (see my other post re the cambelt!) and may not get it back in time!

aaron, just to fuel the debate - rang 2 renault garages tonight to try and get a cambelt tensioner - the first couldnt even put me through to parts: get this, i was put through to main desk, then to service, then to main desk, then to service, and finally the woman forwarded me to herself...

BOB - yeah, i see what youre saying, but i did believe that they were a reputable garage and the cost from a renault garage was astronomical (~£250). i guess i have learnt the hard way! i will ask to see the part tomorrow, but if they are gonna charge me extra labour charges theres nothing i can...

right, heres an update for you. i am not happy.: they rang me about 5:15pm, around an hour after i rang them, to tell me the motor wont be ready as the tensioner has siezed and they need to get a new one. they will have to order it in o wont get it till sometime tomorrow and then they will...

cheers =phil - ive decided im gonna go there in person now, rather than over the phone for him to tell me some sh*te ass story! I am well stresses about this, but i dont see how he can even think about overcharging me, i specified the job?!

put my car in for its cambelt change today, as i have no time to do it myself and caouldnt be bothered with the hassle of doing it! so, the bloke quoted my £120+VAT fot the cahnge, quite reasonable, better than the £250 renault wanted! assured me it would be done same day, as he knows i need...

cheers ben im goin to elite racing in essex on fri to investigate (no, prob will get some then, damn these moddin urges :) !)! do you have a pic of what the rubber looks like on your motor? sorry if this sounds really picky, just probably too interested in the whole alloy thing!

daz - ive got a mk1 phase 2 and have 13s on with 165/65 rubber, reckon the phase 3 must be the same?

in the same boat as me mate, but i had mine reversed into by my own mother!!! have knocked the worst out of it as a temporary measure, if you cant knock it out and need a new skin you can get a door from a scrappy for about £75 bare, then add your laboufor the spraying. About £250 in total id...

yeah i did some maths today and worked out id have about an extra 2inches of diameter, which i worked out would be ok! so the speedo dont change drastically thhen, thats good news! I think im gonna get a set of team dynamic mirages on 15s with 195/45 rubber - dunno if you guys know this rim...

ok heres another question concerning wheel sizes: what size tyres can go on 15s which will equal the size of standard wheels+tyres? i am anxious not to muck up the geometry of the car and the speedo! cheers, steve
