I would go back to silver...maybe thats just me being boring!

also get a feel for the seller - buy privately if you can, this way you can get much more info on the history of the car than is just contained in the receipt folder & it will allow you to gauge the person selling the car as to how it has been maintained.

someone has done a good job on that one!

Cool, will keep my eye out for yours

they certainly do, mine is through greenlight but with a third party company called highway :)

get it checked out ASAP as its likely to be suspension related as you have been fighting with a kerb..i filled mine up yesterday and thought it was going to snap off too!

i agree, i feel more in control without abs especially in this weather - you are in control when and if it locks up :)

not a cup matey, a few things give it away... washer jets on front bumper, wheels, no spare tyre, no abs, cloth seats, no rear headrests etc and finally the colour - they are mainly blue (see my avatar) with a very small number of silver ones

do they normally die around this time of year :)? i know they dont like snow , they just spin with the slightest dab of the pedal! i see your from baxenden .... i will keep my eyes peeled for you !

if you already know what coolant is in there ( if you have changed it before) then just top up, if not aamamdandand its due a change i would drop the lot and flush through with water and refill with some type d stuff ( Renault or from Renault parts direct ) its about 15 quid pre mixed

i am about to change mine when i do my coolant, paid 17 quid for mine from a local motor factors. follow your top radiator hose back to the block and it will lead you to the thermostat housing

could well be but i wouldn't like to use it, maybe me just being snobby but i like to stick to a brand , as i said earlier carlube and filter can be had from ECP for 27 delivered (it meets the Renault RN0700 standard too) everyone has their favourite oils , but more importantly is getting the...

its always a hard one with insurance because its very specific to your circumstances, definitely shop around though, i am with greenlight and pay around 600 on my cup (27 with 5+ no claims )

second the euro car parts option, 27 quid delivered for the carlube triple r and a bosch filter delivered! i used a pela oil extractor on the cup as someone had over tightened the sump plug and i have yet to get that sorted

I get around 300 out of a tank (mixed driving including a 7 mile commute to work) Dropped recently but i have put this down to the colder weather

if the gearbox is out it wont cost much more to replace the clutch, I would get it done now. Is it a new gearbox for £700?

only mod on my cup is Bluevisions on the front, maybe a panel filter at the next service considering the paper filter from my local factors cost £14

i recently bought some ebc ultimax, affordable and had some good reviews from what i have read. i dont touch the track, just normal daily driving

Re: My cars just been put forsale on pistonheads, even though a got it over a week ag ring him and see what he is playing at, sounds dodgy to me !

cheers for the input fellas

will look out for you guys as i am in accrington near hollands pies

probably not an answer but will your ECU not still be in 'learning mode' as its had the battery disconnected?

Oh and to add..just bleed the brakes if you think they need bleeding i.e. old fluid

yep like Ian_s said, you will need to remove the pads to wind the caliper back when replacing worn discs with new thickness ones.... unless your lucky, if not - do you really need to replace the discs?

if its looking tatty i would remove it and source a new one, mine has it on and its staying on :)

Had my cup about 3 months now, i reset the onboard computer each time i fill up and at first i was averaging 38mpg, recently however this has dropped to 35mpg on my commute (same driving) - the car has had the oil & filter changed along with plugs (no modifications) and the only difference i can...

did it start when you first replaced the battery and then didnt at a later time? if so you might have a electricity drain somewhere - have you recently changed anything electrical before this problem started?

I just ordered mine from Renault parts warehouse - £15 delivered

looks good, didnt used to like ph1's when i was on the look out for my current ph2, now i like them for some strange reason :-)

what wheels have you got at the moment? what look are you going for?
