Had pirelli p6000's on my old 306 and found the grip pretty good . Then on my old 172 mk2 the contis wore out on the front in 7.5k miles . Then moved on to toyo proxes t1 -s's , grip in the dry was good , in the wet not as good as i hoped , crashed the car on a left hander ,lol Then tried...

Hope you get it sorted mate :) MrBillyUK !

How do you know its " both " front brakes that are squealing ?? Could be a snapped rear suspension spring ?? Not uncommon on this model so i hear . MrBillyUK !

I'd do em myself mate now you have the paint . If they do look crap then take em to a body shop . Follow the steps wiggz says , you might want to give a rub down after 1st coat of lacquer as well for a smoother finish ,especially if you've got the orange peel effect . MrBillyUK !

Ever considered changing your phone to sky talk , my bills dropped slightly when i changed over from BT . Never had a problem with NTL ( touch wood ) . Been with em over 4 years now , not the cheapest but in all that time i've only lost connection twice . Bulldog are crap from what a mate...

Well its about time they opened their eyes . Labour rates are f*ckin extortionate , its not as if the parts are that expensive and they could easily charge competitive prices and still make money . No wonder people go elsewhere . MrBillyUK !

It gets better ! Wait until your 72k service with cambelt and spark plugs ,lol . Its about £450 just for the cambelt at Sunwin Renault Preston MrBillyUK !

Thats the way it goes though , sad but true . Some people want the convenience of a quick deal , part ex for new .So they have you by the short and curlies and give you well below the market value . Thats how they make their money :( Privates sellings the way to go , but once your cars gone it...

^^^^^ Your right mate . Some people haven't got a clue , some are priced miles under . Always price it a couple of hundred over and be prepared for the haggle , price it under and your giving it away . Alot of people say that the new rs clio will affect the price of 172's / 182's but imo i...

And how much would you expect to get for it on your forecourt ?? MrBillyUK !

What exhaust and filter you got on ? So if you get an unlocked one you can just do a straight swap with your standard ecu and it just locks itself again to your car ? Did you tell your insurance about it ? Can Renault not f*ck it up if they have to reset your ecu ? Lots of questions...

Powerflow in Burnley are sh*t hot . Made me a 172 cat back stainless and fitted in 90 mins , £270 :) They have franchises throughout the UK , one in Warrington but obviously don't know how good they are . I'm guessin they have to be of a high standard or they would lose their franchise ...

Just fitted some silver visions today ! Looks miles better than the standard orange ones , but what a b*stard to fit :( You need the hands the size of a small child , fiddly as f*ck to get the offside one in , i dropped the bulb and holder into the engine bay and didn't think i was gonna...

Not sure mate . From what i've read on here after market airfilters / induction kits give no extra performance gains or very little , i guess its the same for exhausts , more noise than actual power gains . Probably smooths out the power curve a little and it raises the rev limit to...

If your worried about using wonder wheels you could always dilute it with water . I got some stuff off ebay quite while ago , Astonish alloy wheel cleaner , shifts sh*t really well , cleaned all the baked on sh*t on my brake calipers before i wire brushed em for painting . The sh*t...

Seeing that your supplying your own parts , have a word about knocking at least the VAT off , they dont need to put it through their books if its just for labour ;) MrBillyUK !
