gotta love carbon fibre!

indeed mate, many thin layers makes all the difference :) bugger about the clip... yes araldite will make the repair stronger than the original plastic! lol B&Q, Homebase, Halfords all sell it

good work!

needs the black front light cluster surrounds you get with the cornering lights/xenons... the silver looks odd, much like the 182 grey light clusters.

i'll see how good this "Renault Advanced used car warranty" really is.... to be honest its not really a problem, ive never had to top the oil up between changes (every 6k) so its really not loosing enough to worry about, but I may as well see what they say.

just 1 month left, expires on 28th march

thanks for all the advice. Will phone up tomorrow and tell them the cam cover seal's leaking, and check that both belts will be changed in the process... i've only got 1 month left on warranty, so will be interesting to see what they say

did they do the belts under warranty too, as they need to come off to do the work? gonna ring up tomorrow and explain. Thanks all :)

indeed, thats the plan mate :)

ok, so what do i tell Renault? I would rather be specific, than just go in saying "ive got a leak".

on silver cars, the silver badges look fine as they are. Taylor sprayed his bullets Grey on the silver 172, and they look crap.

ok, here's where the oil is... excuse my ignorance in the description. its on the part under the blue painted part on this engine: http://www.cliosport.net/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=11829&d=1157598782

i cleaned it all up a few months ago, but its come back. people say that the engines do leak through the bolts, but this is quite a lot of oil. Is that whats its called then, the lower inlet manifold? I'll need to explain to Renault where the oil is probably, so will need to know what its...

Checking fluuid levels on the car this morning, I noticed a worrying amount of oil around the engine bay. I would love to say where, but I don't know what the parts are called. Most of the oil had collected in the channels under the metal 'cover'. Normal, or should I be using my warranty?

nice keyring... i've got a black Porsche version from the Nurburgring :)

obviously another manoco then! lol

we saw you (well, a monaco 172 anyway) on the A338 heading towards ringwood just before 4pm :)

My pics of Rallye Sunseeker this weekend. Taken with a crappy IXUS 750 compact, so excuse the quality of the pics (there's 1 or 2 good ones) For some reason photobucket has reversed the order... so the last stages are first :S

we were at the 9:08 stage too (me, Day and Ady182... as well as ukaskew which we just found out, see other thread).

There were a few crashes, yep. Most of the retirements were mechanical though. Here's the complete retirements list with reasons: http://www.rallyesunseeker.co.uk/PS_Results/000001/internet/retgb.php

D is over in Wareham... never bother going all the way over there for just 1 stage when the rest are 15 miles away in Ringwood/Verwood! lol

Badly signposted!? there's bloody cones/tape/signs/police/barriers everywhere! even by me in Christchurch which is a few miles away! lol Great day as usual, and well done to Marcus Dodd, predictable but well earnt victory. Andy Burton just 40 seconds behind over the whole weekend, taking 2nd...

lol, same car... same place but from opposite angles... who would have thought it huh? :eek: and thats us, at the top right of your pic Chris! PMSL

if that is Chris... He's in some of my pics too! lol ive got 100 odd pics to sort though, so i'll add them into here when done if you don't mind chris?

we've just got back. Were at the Mount Ararat stage this morning, then went on and spent the rest of the day at Somerley Park.

just got back, where were you guys watching from tonight? we were in Day's 172 cup... and s7ores met us in his black ph2 172. any of you lot going to the forest stages tomorrow?

if its already at the dealers... why do you have to wait a week to collect it? or are you waiting for an 08 plate?

mmmm, pheasant's are tasty :D

a little too close i reckon, would be nice to see the whole 'ring' in the frame

that sounds about right for 6 months on a 1.4... you'll be fine.
