Damnit, living in London really puts my premium up !!!

And you cant turn the fogs on with auto-lights!

Alarm the car with the windows down, wont be long before it goes off. Dead give-away that the alarm is installed is that there are sensors at the top of the front pillars and a led fitted near the cig lighter. Also, if you turn the ignition on/off twice before alarming the car it will...

I guess it depends on what you want, Contis dont loose grip for comfort/noise, how noisy are the Toyos??

Ok, as a few of you have been looking at tyres recently and Ill need some new boots soon I had a quick scan of the top 4 recommendations, heres the outcome... These are 195/45/16 V-rated... http://erc.qmuc.ac.uk/cliosport/file.php?image=1064492435__tyres.jpg

Are the Michs any good?

They do break down, as mine has twice - both know problems so new ones shouldnt have those issues. Wouldnt change it, love it!

My dash is getting worse. Im going to remove it myself as I want to fit tweeters and ill fix those damn rattles. Might smear grease or something around the edges to prevent more occuring?

Renault do have a small leyway(sp?) but 1.5K miles is quite a bit so maybe. Though mine was done at around 10.5K as I was heading off to Europe. Also people have said that as long as you use Renault parts then the warranty will not be invalidated, although I want the stamps - expensive for a...

Yeah, I might do that but its a pain to take it into Renault and the car has to be doing 115mph and changing into 5th to notice :o

:( Id rather get it changed rather than wait for it to break and leave me stranded

LOL - No, it happens when I dont have a passenger.

BUMP

Lately Ive noticed that when Im accelerating hard and change from 4th to 5th I sometimes get a kind of squelching noise. Its doesnt stop me getting fifth at all and its a crunching sound. Wondering what this is and whether I should get it looked at? Only does it 4-5th and not all the time...

LOL - My car went in for a service and I told them there was a rattle in the dash, came to collect it and they said "Weve fixed the rattle, we replaced the exhaust center section", novel considering I reported a rattling dash!! Needless to say the dash still rattled...

I had it and I didn;t even hear it - LOL

Agree with Viv, the center section is the bit that needs replacing, mine was replaced at my first service under warranty.

Are there 2 types of these tyres? Or are they made from Marmite, you either love em or hate em?

I fitted my old Sony, but I did remove the dash to do it as I was fitting MP3 changer and remote adapter. Theres not much room behind as all the cables bunch up behind, took me a while to free then so that the fit wasnt as tight.

If its a UK car it will also be covered by Renault Assistance (AA) for 3 years - its the car thats covered not the owner so its transferable like the warranty.

Theres a nearly standard VTS that has beaten 172s on this site.

No, he said on the boby work :) Ive no idea where this is.

Isnt that torque steer?

How did you know you need your eninge mounts sorting?

No, I agree with Rorrie, I removed the dash and you dont need to remove a couple of the screws around the wheel. Will be removing it again to fit some tweeters when I decide what to get. I might leave the grills on tho as its a nice flush finish.

I think the fact that it limited to 40mph was that it went into "limp" mode, this is when the ECU detects something wrong and therefore prevents you doing more damage. Might be worth getting Renault to plug it into the diagnostics and see if all is well. I had a similar thing (was travelling...

Nice one, I wish someone would get me my Mars V6 (y)

Erm, what job do you do? Is it a company car or yours?
