    Has anyone found a decent non-genuine exhaust replacement?

    if you buy something with a 12 month warranty and have it replaced within 12 months but then the replacement then fails within 12 months (but after the original 12 months is up) can you get it replaced free? Thats basically what has happened with the exhaust I have now.

    Has anyone found a decent non-genuine exhaust replacement?

    Iv been through 2 back boxes and a centre pipe in 18 months! Cheap shite from ECP. I would normally buy genuine but it's so bloody expensive!

    Using K-Seal (rad weld), is it advisable or not?

    Used I assume? Tbh GSF are doing 30% off until midnight so I might be better off paying £63 and getting a brand new 1 tomorrow. Thanks for the offer though.

    Using K-Seal (rad weld), is it advisable or not?

    Also, does anyone know if this rad will fit a ph2 172 with A/C? Website doesn't give much info! http://www.eurocarparts.com/ecp/c/Renault_Clio_2.0_2003/p/car-parts/car-cooling-parts-and-car-heating/cooling/car-radiator/?203745700&1&a4e9cf3606e432e297e7e7964b8f73e53b111dd6&000261

    Using K-Seal (rad weld), is it advisable or not?

    Given that I am skint and currently have no job I was hoping (but didnt expect) that you would all say it was great and to crack on lol. Oh well, looks like I will even poorer by the end of this week. Anyone know how easy it is to replace a rad? Do I need to remove the bumper/grill to get at...

    Using K-Seal (rad weld), is it advisable or not?

    Was driving today and noticed a slight bit of steam from the bonnet. Had a look and the water was a bit lower than the other day and there was a definite leak. Called the AA just incase it was a loose hose they could sort, but he said the side of the radiator was leaking (where the metal joins...

    As above really. It would be an added bonus if I could find a company that will allow this even though im under 25. Does anyone know of any? Also, will many companies email you over a copy of your insurance as I need to but the insurance today but tax my car tomorrow. Thanks

    Need to buy some oil today.

    have you got a ECP near you? I just picked up 5L of shell helix utra 5w-40 and a Bosch oil filter for £33. Just reserve it online using discount code EGGCP25 (25% off) and you can get free delivery or reserve for store pick up.
  15. Paddy_g46

    what oil do people use ?

    does it really matter whihc brand you use so long as its 5w40? What makes some oils about £15-20 more expensive than others?

    Going abroad to work for 5 months. Sell or keep the 172?

    ^so are you saying that legally I can do it or did you just take a risk and get away with it?

    Can you drive to a pre-booked MOT with no tax though? I wonder if they will be as sympathetic as my usual MOT guy.... ;)

    Replacement HID Ballast

    as far as I know many cars share the same ballast as the clio so you may be able ot get 1 easily at a breakers/ebay.

    Going abroad to work for 5 months. Sell or keep the 172?

    The only thing im thinking is that if I park it up, when I get back it will have no MOT and no tax, which will be a pain to get sorted again. Cant tax it till it's MOt'd and cant MOT it with no tax as I cant drive it on the road!

    What line of work are you in? I did a season last year albeit only for 10 weeks (I was on a reserve list and got sent out late) and I left the car at home then but obviously didn't cost me as much over 10 weeks. I cant see why I wouldn't see out the full time unless i get injured/sacked lol

    Going abroad to work for 5 months. Sell or keep the 172?

    The thing is I'm off to work a ski season where I get paid sweet FA, £120 a week, and although I have savings to live off as well the insurance alone will be using up 1/6 of my wage/income and that's before I factor in car tax. I reckon in the 5 months I am away it is going to cost me £500 just...
