For a race car, or dedicated track car maybe. A road car no chance. Rose joints aren't a great idea for day to day use.

Why couldn't Renault help? my 197 had Renault supplied locking nuts on it......?

How much fuel did you put in from Sainsburys? You 've done well to run it down in less than an hour, unless you put a tenner in. Does anyone even do that anymore? A tenner gets me about 40 miles!

As above, unless spending hundreds of pounds, it'll make things worse. Either wait until you get back for the detail, or just leave it in the elements. It's a car, it won't melt if it gets wet.

But what you've learned is incorrect! It r mains sorn until it is TAXED again, nothing to do with insurance. You can have a car insured but not taxed.

Sleepers ftw

Sounds like a CV joint to me

I'd do it once every 12 - 18 months personally.

Anything is possible, but they won't be a straight swap

Really aren't helping yoursefl here! :smile:

Plug a network cable in and try again (to the macbook). Need to pinpoint if it's wifi or something else.

But even at 52mb internet and youtub etc should fly. What about other people in the house, are they experiencing the same or is it just you?

Fitted the rear shocks yesterday (as well as replace the pads that were down to the metal) Rear pads lasted 70k though, so can't complain really! Monday is the big day - Front shocks, bottom arms and top mounts to go on.

You aren't. Your speed test proves 100+mb is making it to your device.

Only any good if you know the username and password to the router, anyone with sense would have changed that in a student house.

Well that sounds more like the device you are using is at fault then. If you can get a 119mb/s on a speed test, that shows you are getting a decent connection. If stuff is taking an age to open/run then you have another issue. What are you using? A laptop, tablet, phone?

So, i'm in need of some cloud storage, mainly to back up important docs, photos, wedding pics and videos etc. Would be good for something multi platform, Windows PC and iPhones mainly. 1TB should cover it, but happy to have more. I was going to put a couple of 2TB HDD in my current PC in...

Figured out what the grinding noise was from the rear! Oops!! lol Managed to fit my new rear Koni STR.T shocks whilst changing them though!

This when I joined And now this

No need to be changing more than once a year or every 12k unless it's not a road car or highly modified. That oil is OE oil, so completely fine to use at those intervals.

Yes, there are better oils. But the real question is - do you need them? for a daily road car, no, for a track car, probably not, for a race car then probably yes. I've gone from using £15 a litre Castrol Edge Professional in my Volvo to £5 a litre GSF car parts oil (bought a 20l drum). Even...

Hub nut would be worth doing, leave the washer and I don't know what the retaining screw is, but it's unlikely to be needed.

Took the wife, daughter and in-laws for a walk along Curbar Edge last weekend. Could see for miles! Curbar edge by Chris Maskrey, on Flickr

.

As above, they are just stuck to the glass. You can pull the old one off, then clean up the excess/residue. This is the important bit - it must be fully clean otherwise the new ones won't stick. The new seals just stick into place along the edge of the glass. No glass removal is needed.

Good luck is all I can say.

And decent wrap will cost you near enough a respray cost - unless you are planning on one of these places that will do it for £300? If so, don't expect a great finish

Ahh yes, the good old sprint booster "fitted a sprint booster, car feels much faster" well yes, that's bcause you now get full trottle at 50% pedal travel. Take off the sprint booster and mash your foot to the floor and you'll get the same experience!

Yep, too much scaremongering about timing belt changes on here! It really isn't a complicated job with the right tools. That's the important bit - the right Renault tools. If you don't use the tools or buy cheap ones and the timing will be out.

Have you got the full set of timing tools?
