I doubt it, they're media cars supplied by Renault that get raped by every journalist in the land,
worth about £50quid after everyone's had a go with it.
Yep it was cracked and barely hanging on by a lose bolt.
It looks like this.
The other mounts are as you say, upper engine on the left by the cam cover,
and the dogbone right under the car next to the gear linkage.
Well looks like you're going to have to get under the car and check for movement in the tie rods, track rod ends, ball joints and wishbones.
After that it's the dampers and springs.
If there's a clunk when accelerating might be worth checking the gearbox mounts,
you'll need to take the battery...
You must have different square ones where you live, the ones in Coventry are tiny and never touch the inside of my tyres,
the potholes on the other hand could rip a wheel off, they're a far more effective speed restriction. lol
Even at 25mph those square bumps are a nightmare if your wheel hits one.
Bloody things are pointless anyway seeing as they fit perfectly in between most cars wheels,
which means they don't slow anyone down, unless your car's lowered in which case they just rip off your exhaust.
One of the best videos i've seen posted on here in a long time,
beats the sh*t out of a load of ricers standing around in a car park polishing their cars & admiring each others static lows.
I really don't get how so many people say it's easy to get the grill off,
I tried the other day and nearly lost the will to live.
I found it unbelievably hard to get off, i'm just going to mask the front up and spray mine on the car.
Around 6:15pm, plate was CA54 I think.
I was behind you in an Iceburg 172 for a bit on the A46 coming into Coventry
as we approached the London Rd roundabout, looks like you had an aftermarket exhaust aswell.
I like it, obviously it's not my style and I wouldn't drive it,
but you probably wouldn't have dreads as a hair style, that's what makes us all different. :D
I had a knackered ABS sensor years ago that originally caused my SERV/ABS/TC lights,
it was replaced but i've had the damn thing reappear every now and again ever since,
no amount of diagnostic checks can find the problem, there are no fault codes on mine at all.
But yet it remains and will...
Jesus Christ mate that's bad, they were the size of 50 pence pieces in Coventry,
but it only lasted a couple of minutes and my car got away with it as far as I can tell.
I tried removing mine the other day to give it a coat of satin black,
I got it half off then gave up, took me about 5 mins to clip it back on, proper pain in the arse.
I'm just going to mask it up and spray it without removing it, I nearly lost the will to live trying to get it off.
Got yourself an absolute bargain there mate, £500quid for a car that starts, runs & drives with very little rust.
Are you going to get an MOT to see what needs doing to make it road worthy?
