mine aswell

Dunno how good they are, but they look like normal linear springs to me

Progressively wound springs have tighter coils at one end of the spring to the other, which means as you progress through the travel of the spring it gets stiffer. Its a compromise for road cars where you retain ride quality but when you hammer it into a corner where more body role is induced...

prob heavier than the plastic one, just take it off, cup style!!

happens on most cars

cos its slower than the cup version of that van ;). I dont need raid i have a disklock :devilish:

Bloody hell what have i done??!! is it a crash thing? can i junk it? would make checking the oil much easier!!

Same story for me also, my 172 is a wicked car, haven’t really owned it for very long (Jan) but after reading about all the trouble with them on here I was dreading taking ownership. But I haven’t had one knock, rattle, etc. in 3K miles so it’s all good in my book!! The only really minor problem...

then the 172 to show the real difference!!

any of you want to fix my interior light? :D

This better not get expensive, i think they may say that it has something to do with the alarm since its an aftermarket alarm/import car and bill my ass to the ground!!!

Apparently the guy tried different switches or something like that, surely the light circuit cant be that complicated?? Ive stuck a bit of metal in the connectors before now aswell and it still stayed on

Right my car has just been in for the first service and i asked them to check the interior light because its not been working since ive had the car. The problem is that it does work but stays on all the time with the doors closed, the little doors open light also stays on. The mechanic reported...

They change the oil/filter, airfilter and pollen filter and you pay for the mechanics valuable time as he is ragging the arse off your car around. Parts must be a massive £30 for that service. I hate garages :@

Was having a poke around under the bonnet of my 172 today and noticed the wierd box type thing that runs under the inlet manifold on the front of the engine, runs from port 2 - 4 starting from the left of the pic. What is it...

Traction control would be with the esp, does your car have a switch for esp? Find it on the panel with the dash light adjustment wheel thing! The headlight adjustment is automatic has a sensor on the rear beam. Imports are the same as uk cars so it doesnt matter if its an import car, mine is an...

So the garage u mentioned can carry out warrenty work and supply ecu software upgrades? if so i am sold!!

So the service deapartment is pants at Bolton? i would stick to an independant but i want warrenty work and the paint warrenty upto date esp since its only a year old! thanks anyway i hate new cars for serviceing!!

Alright guys, my car is getting on for its 12K service (11930) and i was woundering which renault garage you guys recomend in the greater manchester area. I went to the Bolton garage (home town) when i was looking to buy my car and the dealer put me off that place!! Also my car is an import, so...

Is that what Micheal Knight drives? whats the stats of one of those buddy? a v6 0-60 in about 5.8sec i think, 1/4mile in, i aint got a clue!!!

I like novas, have always liked their shape and the arches, but whats this crap about them building well made and better than clios cos they are french?? My first car was a nova and it was a wicked car so forgiving and drove it really hard! but it was anything other than well built, i would bet...

Was just woundering do I have to have my car serviced at renault to keep the warrenty or can i get it done by a private specialist? Im guessing it cant but i dont want the renault monkeys having their way with my car!!!

throw a brick through the window!!! or just sit in it and arm it :p

well in the 4 yrs that i have been driving i have never had one of my bikes or the rack fall off the back of any of my cars, if u strap them up properly they dont fall off unless they rip the boot lid off!! Why does it make me a dickhead for having a bike on a bike rack on the back of may car...

isnt the tramlining mostly torque steer? mine only does it under hard acc

i wouldnt use it on a turbo engine mate, it keeps the heat in making for very high temps which could crack your manifold!!!

Turbos for u matey my dads T5 will get about 6mpg when booting it, have never seen my 172 below high 20s and get 40s on the m/way. it uses less fuel than my old 1.4 rallye!!!
