I saw your vid of the Carbon Lorraines! How much and where from? Is all that sparky stuff bad for the paintwork/wheels at all?

Sainsbury's are doing a 32" Sony KDU3000 for £450, bargain. It's a very well rated screen as well. £700 in John Lewis.

For the home cinema enthusiasts :) http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=110208245429 http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=110208244124&ssPageName=ADME:L:LCA:GB:1123

Dealer offered £6,200 for mine :cry: Also said he had another 182 out in the lot that had been sitting for weeks, no interest at all. It was a really clean one as well.

Thanks guys, it has MOT until 08/08 and tax until 01/08. In this case, I would only need to pay for the VIC? Can I drive the car home before getting it inspected?

I'm looking for a car to go backwards and forwards to work in, as cheaply as possible. I've seen this: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=110206954000&ssPageName=ADME:X:AAQ:GB:1123 Might be just the ticket, I expect it will go cheap given it ends at 10:15 on christmas...

One isn't better than the other, it all depends where you live and what the services are like in your region. Both can be good, both can be bad. I've had cable for years at home and it's been great, I've always got the speed I've paid for which is currently 20 meg (with the exception of a couple...

I'm clearing out a lot of DVDs right now, here's some of them: http://search.ebay.co.uk/_W0QQfgtpZ1QQfrppZ25QQsassZevilQ5fally Keep an eye out over the next couple of days, tons more to go on. If someone wants to make an offer on any of the above let me know :) I look after my stuff so most...

Ah good old Dumbarton Renault. I went in there for some work and came out with my airbag warning light on. Took it back to get that fixed and came out only to find my CD player controls had stopped working. All in all it cost me about 6 or 7 trips as they never had the parts to sort it, or they...

Genuine Renault rubbber mats from a dealer are £13. I pissed about for ages trying mats from Halfords and a custom car mat place, but none ever fitted right. I was kicking myself when I found out they were so cheap.

Official Renault 0-62 figures are 7.1 for the FF and 6.9 for the Cup and Trophy, however most road tests seem to suggest both are faster than this.

I can recommend Opie Oils, top service.

Yes I know the dealership in question....they don't seem very good at oil changes :S

Hmmm my service book says use 5w-40. At my last service my dealer put in 10w-40 so I phoned RUK. They said specifically I was to use 5w-40 and get the dealer to change it. They also used "Comma Economy" oil, what a joke. If I'm paying a bloody fortune for a dealer service, then they should...

Mine was the fuel rail guard, which the dealer hadn't put back on properly after a service. Worth checking!

Sainsburies down my way are doing the Sony Bravia KDU3000 for £449.99. Bargain. Whats more, if you go to John Lewis they will price match this and all of their TVs have a 5 year warranty.

Had mine since brand new, ~16 dealership visits so far. Right now my cruise, ESP, CD player and dash clock all have faults which will need looked at before the warranty runs out. To be fair, half the faults have been caused by the dealerships themselves. Drive in with 1 fault, drive out with 2...

Cheers mate, the Dentec website looks promising. I think I'll pop over and see what they say. Anyone had any dealings with either of the above?

As long as everyone's ok mate. At least it sounds like it should be a straight forward claim! Plus shopping for a new car is fun :)

Guys, A while ago my car got vandalised and I require 2 panels to be resprayed. I might possibly get the bonnet done at the same time to get rid of stone chips etc. This is kind of stressing me out because I know from past experience so many places will happily make an arse of it. If it isn't...

In a nut shell.... the 182 cup has basic cloth seats with rear bench, air con instead of climate, more basic CD player/speakers, basic steering wheel (that doesn't melt ;) ), lower/stiffer suspension*, revised steering geometry*, anthracite alloys*, 20Kg weight reduction, different font/rear...

I love home cinema :) Here's mine....(although the pics don't do it any justice!) Starship Troopers Blu Ray: Terminator 3 HD-DVD: The projector is getting on for 3 years old now, and the sound system 4. Brief spec: Sanyo Z3 Home Theatre 720p projector 77" screen...

No bad! Tuneable? Didn't you also post a similar thread about the ZT 260? You after a V8?

You have to watch them like a hawk mate. Did they change your air filter? I've been to 2 dealerships for my 12k and 24k services, neither changed the air filter and both used the wrong grade of oil. The problem is that most dealerships don't even know the service intervals for the RS, never mind...

Yes, the 197s I've driven have been louder. Renaultsport are making their cars louder as apparently it appeals to the British market.

I have to say, I'm interested in this gizmo. It seems almost too cheap to be true. What has put me off a remap in the past is that the dealership seem to reflash the ecu anytime it's in for warranty work. So that would be £300-£400 down the drain if that happened. Plus I would probably have to...

I followed this guide and tried to repair a stone chip: http://www.guidetodetailing.com/articles.php?articleId=27 The problem is, as soon as I started the wet sand stage all of the colour started to run out of the paint I had applied. So now I have a repaired stone chip, but the paint in the...

I have a radio code on the inside of my "maintenance and service" book, but I can't see a wheel code anywhere :S The car was not originally supplied with all of the hand books and the dealer sent them out to me a couple of weeks later, which suggests to me they had lost the originals. I think...

Yep, another locking wheel nut thread :rasp: My key is worn/chewed and I need to replace the tyres very soon. The Renault dealership I was in today said there should be a code in the box with spare wheel nuts, however it isn't there. It was also suggested in another thread that it should be...

The Athlon was strong against the P4, but the C2D is the best desktop processor right now no question. The Athlon is now an elderly design, so AMD will either have to compete on price or bring a new architecture to the table. I have moved from an Opteron to a C2D recently and have no regrets...
