Ive just fitted an alloy handbrake handle in the valver, and the spring for the button has gone. I now have to pull it out to hold the handbrake on. I think this is a bit of a coincedence so Im wondering if Ive accidently done something to it when fitting the new handle. Any idea on how to fix it?

I bought an alloy handbrake handle with a gaitor yesterday and tried fitting it today when I came across a slight problem. It wont actually fit over the handbrake lever! Only just though. Im trying to file a couple of mm of the metal to get it to fit but thats taking ages. Anyone got any...

How much can you lower a torsion bar? Ive heard you can lower it as much as you want, eg. -5mm, -10mm, etc. But Ive also been told you lower them in notches where one notch is -42mm. Can someone explain this to me please, ta. Tom

as title. I was thinking 16"s with 195/45s or 205/45s, but dont want to spends £££s if it wont look that much bigger or better! So thats why Im now thinking 17"s with 205/40s, cos I know theyll look awesome. Only problem is when I lower it, I dont want it rubbing/catching anywhere! Also, how...

Ive decided Im gonna get a set of 16"s for my naples red 16v......but cant decide on which ones. They have to be kinda exclusive, I dont want the same wheels as everyone else! What do people think then......? Im stuck between Momo GT2s & Speedline Chronos.........any others?

as title. I believe my poor cold running and bad idleing is down to oil being in the spark plug wells. I took my ignition leads off yesterday and three had bits of oil round the bottom. I cleaned it off and it runs a lot better but still not perfect. Whats best to clean them with, and do I...

My cars going into a bodyshop in a couple of weeks to get a spoiler fitted and a few panels resprayed so I was thinking of getting some of the black trim bits colour coded while its there. What do you think should get colour coded and what should I leave black? Im thinking about getting just...

For the first couple of minutes of driving when cold, it seems to be pulling back quite a lot, and stuttering! It only happens when I lightly use the accelerator, its ok if I lamp my foot down! Any ideas? & is it just a coincedence that this just started happening after I topped up the oil...

If I was to get 16"s with 205/40s, how much can I lower it? I would like -40mm, but dont know whether this will be too much.

Just after some opinions. Bodywork that needs doing is; Bad Girl Spoiler fitting Rust around fitting point for rear wiper Long scratch along the top of the o/s rear wing (where someone keyed it!:@) Two patches on the bonnet where the laquer has flaked off and the paint has faded Dent on edge...

Is there anyway I can get the sunroof to open without opening it? My s/r motor is knackered so I cant do it like it says in the haynes manual.

Just phoned Renault up to check the price for my sunroof parts....almost had a flippin heart attack! Sunroof Frame - £308.25 Electric S/R Motor - £233.55 S/R Switch - £23.50 Add £150+ for fitting and it comes to almost £750!

I need a new sunroof frame, but Im trying to find one from a scrapyard first before I go to Renault. Is there any difference between the frames fitted to an electric or manual sunroof? Also, are there any other Renaults that have the same sunroof as a clio? Thanks Tom

This must be easily the worst day of owning my Clio 16v. Right now I feel like I want to drive it off a cliff! A bit harsh maybe, but Ive just had a sh!t day! Started off when I woke up @ half 4 to hear my car alarm going off (for the 4th time in 5minutes apparently - ooops, sorry mum!) so I...

The seal on my sunroof is knackered but I know Renualt didnt make it as simple as to have it need just a new seal! Can someone clarify exactly what is it I need, is it the whole sunroof frame. Also in need of a new motor & switch cos all the water has buggered them up too! Anyone know of any...

Is there anywhere I can get these apart from renault. Need them asap as my sunroof is leaking quite badly and I cant get to the seal without a working sunroof.

Went out for a little drag race against my brother in his VTS, thought I was gonna get whooped but was suprised to only lose about a foot or two between every gear change. My bros VTS is running 159BHP against my 144.7BHP so Id thought I would lose by a lot more. Hes not modding it any more so...

For anyone who has gone for 17s on their 16v over the standard 15s, can you please let me know your opinions of them, ie. pros & cons. Also, anyone got pics of a valver on 17s @ standard ride height. Need to know if itll look stupid or if itll need lowering, and by how much. Thanks Tom

Ive got an Alpine CDA7893R and the controls by the steering wheel are now useless. Has anyone taken one of these off? Will it leave a huge mess? i.e. is it better just to leave it on? Thanks Tom

My electric mirror got clipped last night, managed to put it back, and was good as new. Got back in the car, and the temp dial was reading -30C. Is the sensor in the wing mirror? Have I knackered it or is it something simple?
