Its not unbalanced wheels and it s not the driveshaft as ive had that replaced and all my engine mounts are fine as Ive check and adjusted them too. I cant think what it is! basicly when I accelerate at any speed any gear I can feel a vibration coming from the front near side, its the sort of...

Really pissed off! my flats car park is on a slight slope, car just slid into the wall as i was driving to park up. broke all the bracket on the light and bent and scratched the bumper, so that will need reparing and respraying. My mate and I had just help my next door neighbours car from doing...

Didnt see a CS sticker but with a plate like that I expect them to be on here I was in a gun metal 350z...

Is it me or can you no longer get PE'2 for less than £70, the last pair I bought cost £50 each!? I need a new pair on the front but im having no luck sourcing them cheaper. Anyone know any decent sites ive missed? Nathan

I had a day off work yesterday so I though I would finally sort out the knocking I get on hard excelleration, normaly 1st and 2nd gear. I suspected worn/broken engine mounts; so off came the top engine mount... perfect condition. took off the upper GB mount... perfect condition. Took...

What checks would I need to do if I was to start tuning my 96k ph1 172 engine? Since ownership I have changed the oil every 10k and used 98 Ron fuel when I can. Checks I can think of doing off the top of my head would be: Cold and Hot oil pressure tests and a compression test. I had the...

Whats the difference between the two? basicly can I use the mk2 16v hub on my RS, using 172 disks and pug 406 Brembo Caliper (bit like the mk1 boys do) Nathan

Im I correct in saying that if I fit a Omex piggy back ECU, I will lose my Trip and MPG meters functions. Nathan

If you have a 172 and bend the rear beam im an accident, struggle to find a 172 beam, just buy a 1.2 beam (for about 50% cheaper) and transfer all the brakes, stub axles across etc. Im aware the RS has a tickers ARB but there is absolutly no noticible difference in handling at all. Nathan :)

Last time it was cleaned was when I had it professionaly detailed, nearly 3 months ago. Standard ph1 172 with 96k on the clock, just changed the sparks, oil and a N/S driveshaft too. Was going to sell it to get a Vee but being an estate agent, im broke. but I now own it outright so slowly...

Taken from Jim White at Detailing World. Today’s task was to tidy up the 350Z, and turnaround the Clio 172. I knew I had my work cut out, and probably being a bit optimistic but hell, who doesn’t like a challenge. Arriving an hour early I got on the case straight away.. The forecast said...

Fitted one at the weekend, just for a laugh while I was helping a mate put his engine back in his car, my conclusion: Wow, gear changes are so much more precise and smooth.... but my god it rattles and vibrates the car to bits! for some strange reason tho it has solved a vibration I get on...

Hi I recently had my passanger seat stiched up after an airbag went off... but its not the best and you can tell its been stiched, can you buy new covers from Renault? nathan

Hi all I had a passanger seat air bag deploy (but thats another story) a while ago, seat is all fixed and I have a new airbag in there too but I still have the serv and airbag light on, do I need to replace the module or fix it etc. My OBD reader cant find a fault. tensioner is fine, it was...

Done a search and doesnt bring up much. Just want to know what pressures i should run them at for road use, Iv read about hot/cold pressures? someone care to explain? ive had 4.5k out of my PE2's and 3k out of some Parada spec 2's, what sort of milage am i going to get out of these :s...

Clio seat airbags, are they used in any other renault models i.e megane etc Cheers Nathan

sound so good when you replace your abox with a pair!! ;)

Went to see a Vee today, been looking at it for a while, offered him asking price of 11k, but i'd want the cam belt doing, a full service and 6 months tax. he said no, so i walked away. I think i was pretty reasonable. opinions? the car is Tidy, doesnt have a standard sterio tho and the...

Always presumed this was a CV joint on the way out, but since ive had my MOT and they refitted my CAT (was decated) the exhaust has been blowing as they havnt fitted it correctly. Now, is this a coincidence but when I accelerate (over half throttle) my wheel vibrates as it has done for a...

As above, concidering refurbing my wheels gloss/satin black.

Just had to buy new disks and pads, swapped for Brembo HC's and green stuff 10 months ago, started grinding this morning, disks are flush with the wear markers and all pads are shot or have 2/3 mm left. this normal? they have had a fair share of abuse over summer and 45 mins at donnigton, but...

Any companys that can do this, Im sure reno do an exchange policy?! what sort of price am I looking at? Nathan

was paying £530 for my clio, 22yrs old, 4 NCB, group 16. now down to: £395. get in! that is all. :)

Not of the ghey suspension type but saftey ones. I have a deployed passanger seat air bag. the serv and airbag light are on, I have an MOT soon, and no spare cash to sort it out before then, can i get away with removing the lights behind the dash and removing the passanger seat for the MOT...

My back box finaly fell off last night :( I now have a straight through exhaust and decat. its fookin loud!! anyone know where i can get a back box from.

think it was DJ05 DXJ. nathan

OMG'z lol. blue, gay wheels, lexarse lights and a lol exhaust. just thought I'd say Hi.

A few conflicting opinions here, some say you can reset it, others say you need a new one (£200+). whats the deal? I have a passanger seat airbag thats been deployed. nathan

Swerved to miss a cat going through town, got a bit sideways overcorrected it, did a 180 and hit a curb. borrowed wheels by the way both passanger side oz's were totaled, popped tyres etc. passanger air bag went off too. will need 2 new wheels, new rear beam and a new seat and possibly Airbag...

Having a day off thought i would sort my front bumper that has taken a few lives over the past months and fix some of the broken mounts as a result. I open the bonnet to undo a few bolts and it smelt of fuel.... I havnt used the car yet today!? I traced the smell to the fuel rail where there...
