Think the renault stuff is pretty good so that or castrol should be fine

castrol oil seems to suit the box

Blimey you must have given them some bisto! They hardly require any tightening though thats quite an obvious thing to point out now... If i'm thinking of the same bolts then the thread come out of the other side of the housing so you could probably just twist them out with some mole grips

If you havn't changed the oil its worth doing as it solved my box problems (same symtoms). Your looking at quite allot of money for a rebuilt box.

PM'd

Does the oil light not mean that you have below minimum oil in it? When you turn the engine on press the trip computer button straight away and an electric dipstick will display. It's worth checking once a week. The elctric dipstick should display a line of o's if it is full of oil. Use this...

Changing the airfilter should do bugger all TBH. Putting some higher RON fuel in can help reduce emissions (I think)

Standard shocks are a good match for Eibach Pro's

I would be gutted if someone did that to my car. Would love to catch the little f*****s who think this is funny....

Its a git. Two man job really one taking the tension off of the spring the other trying to put the belt on.

It can be pretty accurate. Whats the performance log is best for is comparing your cars bhp/torque before and after mods.

To cut a long story short I noticed a few week ago that the water temp gauge does not get to its usual halfway point and was fluctuating quite a bit but just put it down to the weather getting colder. MPG went down quite allot last week and the car was taking ages to warm up. Henk from fastchip...

Auto headlights are something else to go wrong IMO

If it hasn't had some stick for a while its probably water vapour. Just keep an eye on it and see if it does it again

Sticking an oven chip to your car would probably be more benificial...

Thats normal most of them come like that. If you look at the inlets before being matched then there is a big groove there already. Its just the matching process does not require that much material to be removed so that the groove goes. One of the best mods ive done since getting the car.

All I can say is bloody hell what a difference! I thought the car handled well before but now its so flat when cornering I was amazed. Havn't really pushed them yet but the car inspires far more confidence now when cornering. They have lowered the car a bit but not too much which i'm glad...

I just got a custom map. Well worth it car feels fantastic

Some lovely PH1's here. Here's mine:

Mines not stock :) its still loud though just more bearable on the motorway. I didn't add too deadening as I was quite concerned about weight gain!!

pics please :)

I did the whole boot floor in mine the other week. Made a noticible difference. The spare wheel well is what let most of the noise in imo

Yeah I find that too. Don't get me wrong I love it but its not as quiet as some people think it definately supprised me the first time I start the car!!

It's not what I would class as quiet but its not a chavy sound. Is a bit dronny on long journeys but it sounds great when giving it some beans!

I had this on my MOT last year when it went in for a service in June I mentioned it tto the guys at Rentech and they said there is slight play but its quite normal. Very rare for them to need replacing and its a git of a job.

Ive had one wheel bearing go on the front so they do fail occassionally but most bearing failures tend to happen on the rear wheels.

Just looking at the clearence between the rear tyre and the rear dampner I think another 5mm worth of tyre could be pushing it so I would probably need spacers :( in which case ill probably stick with the stock setup

will that not create unnessary vibration through the chasis?

NGK PFR6E-10 are the ones renault recommend the prong as we are refferring too is actually the ground electrode on the plug. The theory for keying sparks plugs is sound but the way an engine works the air fuel mixture get drwan into the comustion chamber on a down stroke and then is...

I went from a 1.4 106 to a 172 and it scared the crap out of me for the first hour of driving. Had a few near misses in it from driving quickly and other drivers just pulling out infront of me not realing how fast im going etc. as i'm sure most people on here have. Its a shame he had to learn...
