I tried ordering these three times now from different companies only to be told they are out of stock everywhere in the UK :mad: I needed them before Friday as well. Long shot but does anyone on here know of a stockist with stock or anywhere in the north west that may have them sat on their...

Help needed fellas :dapprove: I took the car for its Mot today at Halfrauds and it failed on a broken offside coil spring and offside Track rod end worn to excess :( I have been quoted £366 by them. Thoughts please guys? I dont fancy doing the work myself btw. It's cupped which makes a...

Alrite lads, need some expert advice here. ;) Firstly I was going to buy a complete new system but then I came across that thread. Money is a slight issue at the mo hence looking towards this cheaper option. I currently have it 'bodged' up with some clips/sealent/gun gum etc Question is, does...

Any one tell me if there should be some sort of mount attached to the threaded bolt here in pic? Exhaust seems to bounce quite a bit in this middle section. Ta.

I quite like it :D but the Mrs doesn't and to be fair it gives me a headache after a while it's that loud! Question is will I have to replace the lot? it looks ok apart from the damage in the pic, I'll probably do a temp repair till i sort it proper. Thoughts please. Ta.

Yep another thread by me :o ​I am having a rough time, feels like my 182 is falling to pieces just now :dapprove: anyway... Thoughts on this please. Mechanic has told me the play in the drivers side wheel is due to the tracking rod and it needs sorting asap as the wheel could fly off! I had a...

Alrite Guys :) Quick question and before anyone says do a search I have so there ;) I have just started to experience a screeching sound when I brake at very low speed and it put the sh!t$ up the Mrs! MOT advisories mentioned front brakes are very low so I'm putting it down to them. Do I...

Alrite fellas. Car went in for it's MOT today - it passed :approve: but got a few advisories. It needs 3 new tyres, one is near the limit and the other two are showing signs of cracking :S although the tread is still good. I went searching for PE2'S only to find they are no longer available...

Alrite fellas. Not a happy chappy :mad: insurance is due in a few days and my renewal quote is £512 - up from £362 daylight robbery!! Does anyone know of a company i can try? tried a comparison site and Hastings comes up the cheapest at £480 which i think is not good either! Anyone fire a few...

Alrite fellas, Does anyone have these or know how to fit them to a 182? I've just bought some and in the instructions it has an eye symbol saying to look for a circle on the car but i can't see one :o also what's the blue plastic thingy for!? Can i just fit it anywhere? Cheers.

Car failed on the Hazard warning switch only working intermittently and brake fluid below the min level! although it looked full to me :S Anyway, tester said if i sort the mentioned issues he'd pass it, 1 hour later i was back having been to Renault to buy a new Switch and a bottle of brake...

Alrite guys. Trying to find out if it's normal or not, mechanic just laughed when he seen it! said it's almost a link slack. Any ideas? he wants me to buy a new oil pump and whatever that chain is called, trying to find out if i can avoid that but if that chain aint right i'll get it all...

£363.74 all genuine parts except the Water pump, that a decent price lads?

Alrite guys, after some advice urgently. I took my car for it's MOT today but they said they can't do the emissions test because when they rev it at around 2500 they get a bad noise coming from the engine. They did say they would do it but it could wreck the engine so i was like :S Any...

oh dear had to be pushed out from the petrol pump after turning my engine off but leaving my radio on, most :o I was wondering if it's a battery issue, on trying to start it again all i got was a tick tick tick noise but my lights worked dimmer than normal i think and my electric windows were...

Alrite guys, I'm after some recommendations for a few good bodyshops in the Manchester region. I need to get a few quotes for a nice lovely scratch some woman put on my car:mad: she will be paying for the damage but i need the quotes first. Anyone have any that they have used? i want a decent...

Alrite guys. I managed to limp to my works car park this morning. I need a mobile tire fitter to come to my place of work to fit a new one - any suggestions? i'm in the North West (Altrincham) Where's best to get some Pilot Exalto's? I used Blackcircle last time, they still my best bet...

Firstly let me explain myself :o I'm posting this on behalf of my Mrs's old man who has a 1997 Ford Galaxy and is after some help, thought i'd try here before i sign up to a Ford site. Pics will maybe explain better so here they are, it's in bits as you can see! The bits: Inside...

Any computer whizzkids out there who can help me pretty please! I'm trying to do a clean install of WinXP but my drive aint working at all, ejects and that's it. There is no sign of it in device manager either, im very confused. It's a Fujitsu amilo laptop if that makes a difference...

when i boot it and put my foot on the gas - all the way to the floor it then suddenly revs up on it's own WTF!! only does it now and again for half a sec or so but it's beginning to annoy me now. Any ideas? Cheers.

Decided to refurb my 182 alloys myself but now wishing i hadnt lol! Got a few questions. Firstly, it has took me about 30mins just to wetsand this using 280 grit, do you have to 100% get every last bit of the old paint off?? taking me ages!!! Here's a pic: I've looked a the...

Took my car to the local stealers the other day about the well known knocking on full lock issue and i was told it has to go into the bodyshop - nearest one being Manchester. Just wondering guys how long this takes? the bloke in the local Renault didnt have a clue when i asked him, also is it...

...this! What you reckon, good trade!! My Mrs quite likes it! and i think it isnt too bad a drive actually!! the blind spots are shocking though and the steering is unbelievably light i thought, soaks the speed bumps up though when i thrash over them :)

Right guys need your expertise on this one. When i reverse out of my drive, steering full lock either direction i hear a very loud crunching/knocking noise, sounds like it comes from the wheel area - even my Mrs heard it standing at the front door!! and the car like shakes! It really...

Hi guys, thought i'd throw this one in. My insurance is due in Sept and i was getting some online quotes from different companys but they were coming to over £1000, bit dear that i think. Im awaiting my renewal quote from Greenlight - last years was around £749. Basically what i did on...
