I'm taking it to the garage on Monday as I don't have the tools to attack it anymore! Are coil packs fairly cheap?

Just doing a routine service on the other halfs 1.2 Clio and one of the spark plug wires snapped on removal! It's broken off and left the rubber part around the plug and some plastic. What's my options to remove it? I can still refit the wire but it runs like a bag of nails! It looks like the...

I think high carbons from Auto Nation are about £51 most places will match his price. Pretty sure Fred from BTM does some good deals on brakes :)

I like the original ELF sticker, there's a company on eBay that sell retro car stickers I'm not sure if they'll have a copy?

About £12 so a bargain! part number 5J0 807 061 9B9

I'd say silvervision bulbs, 3/4 front plate, Skoda Fabia spltter (if you don't have a cup spoiler fitted), Carbon/Colour coded dash strips, diamonds, bullets. All fairly cheap mods and shouldn't have any effect on your 'warranty'.

Ok thanks, I was a bit unsure if the usb socket would work with the ipod so I'm glad you tested it :). The cable looks similar to one I had it my old Alpine headunit but it's not quite the same.

Yes it will but I'm pretty sure the tunepoint has an ipod specific socket next to the usb one.

Can the Renault tunepoint Ipod cable be purchased on it's own? I've got the chance of buying the box only so I'd only be able to use a USB drive which wouldn't be great.

I think I'm going to order some of these as both my mounts are sagging. Any issues with the exhaust not lining up well once fitted?

That would make sense as the exhaust has been blowing recently. I'll get it on the ramps tonight and have a look and see what I can do, thanks.

I got my renewal from flux direct a couple of weeks ago and it was £200 more than Admiral. The chap on the phone was very helpfull and managed to knock off £150 pretty much straight away however that was the maximum he could do. I ended up moving to Admiral for £600 a year. Give them a call...

I've always stuck to premium brand oils and I've never had a problem. Only one to steer clear of is Carlube Tripe R from euro car parts, it gives the engine a nice ticking noise from what the majority of ppl say. I think I'd go for Elf if I could get it cheap but it's a lot of money if your...

That's what I paid a month or so ago for 5 litres :). Didn't realise you were in NI, surely postage can't be that much more?

Fuchs Titan Supersyn is what I'm using for £28.92 from opie oils, seems fairly reasonable to me.

My car has recently developed a small squeak when accelerating. It only does it when the cars in gear and you're moving which makes me think it could be an engine mount? Ideally I want to get it sorted quickly as it's getting a bit annoying with the window open!

Subaru Impreza STI Wagon in white, it was a toss up between that and the 182 at the start of year but I went for the 182 :)

Yep it needs to be packed with grease to keep the moving parts lubricated. They used to split on my 106 all the time and the grease causes a right mess!

Connects 2 is the cheaper version of a Renault tunepoint. It's basically the same but doesn't have a USB output.

Cup spoiler has a red brake light and the normal one has a smoked/black brake light.

Can you even 'give it some' in a 1.2, mines seriously slow and any journey seems painfull! Saying that on the motorway at 70mph following my 182 they both returned 41mpg the majority of the way home.

You need specific locking tools when replacing the belts on the 1*2's. Thats why people on here only recommend getting it done at a Renault specialist.

Just seen some of his work, it's very good! Hoping to have a go myself and then prbly end up buying his parts when I **** mine up haha

Thanks I'll hunt him down!

I've found a place on ebay selling dark grey which has 'Alcantara' printed in gold, is this the proper stuff?

I was going to do the dash strips, handbrake surround and a couple of other bits drop me a PM if you have enough, any pics of your parts fitted? Is there actually an official colour?

Does anyone know the official 1*2 alcantara colour? I'm only after a small amount to try and retrim some parts lying about. Also wheres the best place to buy it?

I also recommend the Halfords Advanced/Pro tools, mine have been great and they have a life time warranty! Worth every penny even if you have to splash out a bit more to start with...

I'm on the look out for some F1's for track wheels, I think they're perfect for the job. Have you tried looking for a set of Renault turbines, they seem pretty rare but usually go for under £200.

Ive just fitted some V12's and they seem great compared to the Michelins I had on previously. Ive not really given it much stick so can't comment on them that much but the sidewalls do seem a bit soft but this could be down to pressures. For an all round road tyre I think they're great for the...
