Got my GTT 3 weeks ago and although it had a V5 it was already filled in, but not sent to DVLA, so I sent it off 2 weeks ago with my name and address. Went to tax me car yesterday and there is a new law (started on Feb 1st typical) which means u cant get tax without a V5 or a tax reminder...
Been running my 5 on about 8psi and it wasnt slow, just turned it up to 15 and my god its fast. When its on boost I just cant stop grinning!
Its so low as well that it feels a lot faster than it probably is.
Swapped my valver on sunday for a GT Turbo and Im happy to say it all looks fine!!!! It did over 200 miles that day and only went above the first line on the temp guage about twice! Its got a few bits that need doing but other than that i think its awesome!
Ill still come on Cliosport so dont...

Remember the split screen purple carisma kitted 5 GTT? Well hes the bloke whos got this too...

My wipers came on yesterday for no apparent reason and I couldnt turn them off!!! Any ideas?
Also i think the heater fooked - blows cold air in even when the cars warmed up AND the rear windows heater thing does nowt. What could be wrong and how much 2 fix? I remember someone saying that...

Just been for a drive and when i brake or accelerate quickly i can hear water moving about somewhere. It sounds like its in the doors, but its not, then it sounds like its in the boot!
Bugger! Wheres it likely to be? its obviously collected somewhere and is swishing about which is NOT good.

Ok so the tyres on my valver are 215/45/16 Will these tyres scrape at all on a Renault 5 GT? The 5 is lowered 60mm and I was thinking about the rear wheels catching on the arches?
Can anyone help?

Need to renew my car insurance - am currently with Adrian Flux and paying £850 for my valver with mods declared. Just rung tesco and they quoted £699 for a standard non modded valver. Got a quote for mine (lowered + air filter + 16 inch alloys + ss exhaust) and they quoted me a staggering...

When I put full lock on at any speed (turning wheel anticlockwise) I get this really nasty scratching noise VERY LOUD its horrible!!!!!
When I turn the wheel the other way it doesnt make a noise at all. and when Im stopped it doesnt do it either way.
I know that valvers have noisey p/s pumps...
Since my valver has had work done on the head the oil temp is running at over 100 degrees.
Pressure is about 1.5/2 when warm but the oil temp looks way too high
What should it be running?
My valver has had a bang on the near side rear arch and its obviously been filled and sprayed before i got it. I think they bodged it and now its started to bubble and blister.
It needs to be sorted - any ideas on prices? Am i better off getting a new arch and having it welded on? If i get a...
Well after 2 weeks Ive finally got my car back.
The head gasket went - fortunately it was under warrenty and the garage did it all without me having 2 pay.
Turns out the there was no thermostat fitted and the water pump was knackered which casued the head to blow. Theyve skimmed the head...
