    Cup rear brakes. The age old 'low effort' issue.

    I managed a handbrake turn in our workshop with mine save shunting n all that, Efficiency was low on the pedal though, Which we put down to the new disks and pads. The handbrakes a poor setup anyway, every frenchie ive had with the same rear brakes has been the same.

    The wheelbolts. Renault use tapered bolts on the clios if your aftermarket wheels are supposed to be used with flat faced bolts for example they will keep working loose

    Motofix Cirencester Worse paint job ever!!

    The 'tape' is from the sheeting being thrown over your car and its been wet underneath, once it goes on bake it cooks itself and marks the laquer, quick nib with some w&d and a run over with a buffer sorts it out.

    Its your PAS pressure switch, They do sod all other than leak i've found! plug it in and put a cabletie round it, I found mine had a tendancy to pop off because the clip wasnt up to much

    Suspension wheel sorta problem!

    Are these lensos split 2 piece rims? The barrel could be loose making it look buckled, i also think you have the incorrect bolts for them too if they keep coming loose, there are different types of bolts not just length If everything seems tight and the cars ok get them spun up on a balancer

    How tell bad spray job?!

    If its going through the insurance you can take it to any bodyshop you like! If its just a small indent and a scuff its doubtfull it'l get a new bumper on it too, It will be repaired. You will also get your excess back if it wasnt your fault as your insurance will pursue the claim for all costs

    Help and advice please 182 turns over but won't start!

    Sit in the car with the doors closed, key in ignition and press the lock button on the key a few times to see if its recognising the key. Failing that try your spare key to see if your light goes out, theyre a bit fragile if the last owner liked to chuck his keys on the worktop like i do it...
