I've been quoted £260 to get my turinis refurbed, that's not with my tyres fitted and me supplying bare rims. Does this seem about right? It's a long way off the £80 city fefurbs charge but they're 2hrs from me unfortunately
Anyone know what is the soonest I can apply a rattle can basecoat over Electrox?
Bilt Hamber say 96 hours which seems extreme, I want to be able to get this thing back on the ground!
I'm thinking of getting some turinis for my flame red but cant decide whether to go for silver or a more anthracite colour, any one got any photos of theirs flamers on turinis?
Finally started the horrible task of removing the rust behind my fuel cap but I've found it tracks back under the underseal towards the rear light assembly.
I've armed myself with BH deox gel, electrox and dynax ub by my question is after deoxing would I be best to electrox then dynax for just...
Ive been out tonight and for the second time in the last week I've struggled to get into 3rd gear so I pulled over and started off again and all was fine. I've got no crunches and all other gears are fine, it's been fine in between times too.
One thing I have noticed is my gearstick link bar...
Having recently replaced my gearbox oil I've noticed the inside of my car smells of the foul stuff when stopping after a decent journey. I do have the usual Renault leak from somewhere and when replaced a fair but less than the 3ltrs came out than went back in.
Could the fact I'm missing the...
Does anyone know if flame red 172 paint is a hard, medium or soft paint?
Currently shopping for cutting compounds and DA pads so any advice appreciated
Looking at these speakers as I've seen them mentioned as a good replacement for the standard door speakers in my 172, do they have the Renault type plug or will I need to mess about with the soldering iron?
I'm on the verge of getting a Das 6 pro to do a bit of paint correction on my flame red 172. It has dullish paint in places as well as a few light scratches/chips and some swirling, without gathering a garage full of products can anyone recommend the basic pads and compounds etc I could get a...
Having now got my 172 belts done I've been using it a lot more and I'm having a slight issue when pulling off. Im having to use a fair bit of revs to stop it stalling when releasing the clutch which is getting a bit embarrassing. I do get the od clunk/knock when first pulling off too but can...
I've got the usual bent jacking points and a bit if rust on chassis rails around the exhaust area along with a bit or bubbling under the fuel cap.
I want to remove as much as possible and treat it and was thinking along the lines of Deox gel, hydrate 80 then spray with either electrox or an...
Can anyone tell me whether the cable from the drivers side door switch connects into the passenger side or if they both terminate in the uch plug?
Thanks in advance
My newly fitted recessed ktec exhaust keeps on rotating on the sleeved joints even after tightly clamping with Mikalor clamps, what can I used to put in the joint to holt it right? I was going to use high temp silicone if that'll work.
So after the fun of fitting my recessed ktec I've now got an engine management light on and reading the following codes, P0120 and P0136.
P0136 - I've recently replaced the front lambda but did have a bad plug connection so will check that
P0120 - throttle pedal?
Not looked into this yet...
I've been trying to solve this problem but havent got anywhere. Basically when I unlock my 172 the courtesy light comes on as normal but within 10 seconds it auto locks even after opening a door and with it open.
If I put the key in the ignition it wont auto lock, whether connected or not the...
I've bought a ktec recessed exhaust but it's missing the short flanged part that joins cat to centre section, is this part available separately or would getting a sleeve welded onto my cat be a better solution?
I'm looking at buying an secondhand ktec recessed exhaust for my 172, were there different tip styles as the one im looking at looks sharply slash cut in the photos where as I've seen some that are almost the same angle as the bumper.
My mother-in-laws partner has just had his van impounded for driving with no tax insurance or mot, what is he likely to have happen to him. I personally hope they throw the book at him as he's a total waste of space and part of the reason we all pay elevated prices for insurance etc. I believe...
There was a thread on here detailing how to reproduce your vin sticker as mines had a seat belt shut on it. The link doesn't work anymore so has anyone know of a way to print or order a new one?
Yet another bit of sorting issues!
I have repaired the damaged cog on the forward (nearer bulkhead) aircon stepper motor but the motor won't turn when going through all the aircon settings. The rear one (nearer gearstick) works fine and I've switched motors to confirm both work so I wonder if...
I've been upside down with my head in my footwell today trying to sort my hot only climate control.
I've discovered to classic split stepper motor cog which I've now cable tied together but can't get the cog and it's other half in the heater matrix to line up, the are at about 180 degrees out...
My cup brake light isn't working, I've dissassembled it and all looks ok with continuity on all leds, resistors but not on the plug terminals. I know nothing about electrics but surely there should be? With these now unavailable I'm not prepared to write it off just yet.
Any ideas?
