    What causes steering wheel dis-alignment?

    Not sure if that's the correct wording exactly... What I mean is to go in a straight line, I have to hold my steering wheel at a slight angle, really annoying me! My instant reaction was the tracking, but the car doesn't pull to either side when I release my hands from the steering wheel. I...

    Twisted Metal X

    Not seen a thread about this I don't think? Just ordered it from Tesco's for £30. Loved this on the original Playstation and this new one has been getting good reviews!

    Hotmail logging me off WLM

    Currently running WLM 2009 (Wave 3) on Windows 8 CP, every time I log into Hotmail and read my emails it logs me off WLM! It then instantly tries to re-connect, and fails... then I manually try and it gets in again no problem. I have turned off the feature in WLM that was something like 'log...

    5 RS's and 1... McLaren MP4-12C! In Essex today

    Shame it was in that horrible burnt orange colour. Clio 200 - LY with white alloys and a splitter in Hadleigh, looked ridiculously awesome! Clio 172 - Red with single exhaust, also in Hadleigh Megane 225 - Silver, maybe an R26? Around Benfleet/Thundersly I think Clio 182 - Titanium with...

    Notes from test drive on my service...

    Okay picked my car up earlier, this is the first time the car's been to a garage since I bought it, and these were the points raised: Vehicle bump steers badly Very slight play in steering rack Oil leak from sump possibly Slight wheel bearing noise when driving, but unable to hear when jacked...

    V6 on a ramp in Southend!

    Hi saw a silver V6 up on the ramp with no wheels on in Sutton Road Southend, still managed to look awesome though!

    Can you buy the 182 aux tensioner separately?

    Hi... Got my service soon and it's the aux belt/tensioner one. The reason I want to know if it can be purchased separately is because I can get hold of the belt pretty cheap, but if you can't buy the tensioner separately then I'll end up buying a 'kit' and getting another belt with it! If it...

    Carbon fibre gear knob inserts

    Hi trying to decide how to modify parts of my interior, and have seen some carbon fibre gear knob inserts... think they look pretty swish! However I can't find where to buy them? Streamline sell the parts for steering wheels but not the gear knob. Do you think it's worth sending them a...

    Does anyone use Onavo?

    Onavo is an app for saving on data... saw it on The Gadget Show so thought I'd give it a go! (it's free after all) However one thing I can't find the answer to is whether you need to keep this constantly running in the background, or if it's okay to actually shut it down and it will still...

    White Ph1 & blue Ph2 Cup in Southend...

    :cool: White Ph1 was driving near Southend's football stadium, looked nice! Blue Ph2 Cup was parked up around the 'duck' park as we call it.

    ABS/ESP/SERV - independent garage diagnostics?

    Hi so I've got the ABS/ESP/SERV lights coming on every now and again. Tried the brake pedal switch adjustment, and although I wasn't getting the 'clicking' noise that it seems you should get... I pulled it out thus resetting it and it's made no difference (lights come on perfectly when pedal is...

    My mum is scared and prepared...

    To enter a modern world of radios, away from her cassette recording radio. However I have no words of wisdom for her, I really don't know what's out there. Basically atm she uses the above mentioned to record her shows on to cassette. I doubt that CD's ever really took over for this? Perhaps...

    Just about to service... is this what I need?

    Hi I'm about to take on what is basically my 108k mile service, which I believe is the auxiliary belt change? Firstly... can I just confirm that a 'normal' garage should be able to take on this task without mucking it up? Obviously I understand why the cambelt on the Renaultsport's should be...

    ClioSport/old font mats?

    Hi am looking to buy some decent mats finally for my 182... and whereas the official ones are nice, I do find it kinda annoying that they're only available with the new style 'Sport' logo. Is there anywhere that uses the old font? Or even, a place that can provide them with our own lovely...

    Headunit keeps forgetting settings!

    Had this problem before with different cars, I seemed to remember it was a case of changing the red and yellow wires over. However the red seems to go into the yellow wire with this setup!? So I'm a bit stumped any ideas?

    Anyway of sorting stained front lights?

    I mentioned in another thread that my car was mint for it's mileage, and it is! Apart from, the lights, unfortunately. This is what they look like... Is there anything that can be done? I'm guessing it's inside... is there a way of taking them apart and cleaning the inside?

    White iPhone 4S - fingerprint proof!?

    This is so weird... I had a black iPhone 4 (got stolen) and now I have, as in the title, a white iPhone 4S. With the black one I was constantly polishing it! It drove me mad, damn OCD. But with my white one, try as I might, I just can't get it messy! No fingerprints ever appear!? It's not just...

    What's the cheapest that's been paid?

    Just thinking I got my 182 for a pretty good price... £1,850 (109k miles but full service history, full years MOT, and it's absolutely mint inside and out, bar the melted steering wheel!) Has anyone else paid less for a 182? Not including buying one broken. Whilst we're at it, cheapest 172 &...

    Do I need an adapter for my headunit?

    Or can I just cut it down? This is the bit sticking out the Clio... Used to have the adapter that went in there, is it needed? If it is, anyone know if I can pick one up from Halfords? Thanks.

    Girl's reaction's to your RenaultSport?

    Had a 182 years ago, upgraded from a 206 GTi. Girlfriend at the time didn't even say anything when she got in the car... :S so I asked what she though and she said "Well it's just the same as the Peugeot" :dapprove: Just picked up another 182, showed the current girlfriend and was greeted...

    I'm back!

    Hello. Couple of years ago I had a 182... Then I lost my job so had to free up some money, and bought this god awful Punto GT for £700... Then I remembered my dream to own an R5 GT Turbo, so when I found a decent one locally it just had to be done! However the dream was kinda short...

    2005 182 84k - £2k

    Seems like a right bargain! It's still in stock, just phoned up a moment ago, was going to nab this one myself but decided I want to get something more local. Just thought I'd help someone out if they're looking...

    iPhone stolen... what can I do?

    Unfortunately stolen from me in lovely old London... anyway I got the number blocked straight away. I logged into Find My iPhone online and it wouldn't trace it? Maybe he through the SIM already, I tried adding a keycode and remote wipe but it just says pending, has done for 48 hours now. Is it...

    Gaming on a cheap laptop...

    Hi I recently bought myself a budget laptop, and now (in another thread) have found out I probably won't be able to play my PS3 in a hotel lol, I was wondering if I can get any games going on it. I seriously don't mind it it's something 10 years old... I used to love Quake 3 & Half Life! But...

    Number 14 of 172 made

    Sorry if this is a repost, I never look in this section seeing as though I haven't owned a Clio for years! But... unless I'm very much mistaken this is complete bulls**t!? What is he on :quiet: http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/2999024.htm

    Good location in Essex for photography?

    Hi I've got a few days off so am going to give the car a good old wax and want to get some pictures somewhere other than sitting outside my house! Anyone know anywhere in Essex that is a good place to get some car shots? My mate coming with me is into her lomography so she'd like something...

    3G data plan only on phone? i.e. no calls/text

    Hi I basically never use my phone for calls/texts... I was wondering if there's any kind of plan that keeps your 3G connection for data, but deletes the option for calls/texts, like the iPad has? I have an iPhone 4 btw.

    Best 2.1 system for under £150?

    Hi... I asked this very question about four years ago, and the answer from more than one forum all came down to the AE Aego M speakers. They're fantastic, absolutely love them, however as it's been years since that purchase I wondered if there was anything that's come out to beat them? I need a...
