Yes if you leave it on the brake fluid top pops of and whilst your putting the new pads in you wonder why your cars dripping fluid all over the patio. Dead easy changing the brakes have a search there have been threads on how to do it.

Try the Cliosport one. You never know. Liverpool Victoria / Frizell wont insure you till your 25 so dont bother ringing them. Tesco onliebn are cheap but as the insurance thread says try ringing them up and working one of against another. EDD

It would sound like a good idea but Im not sure its feasable the amount of buyers you may be able to get. Also since there a companeies out there ie drive the deal who sell for excellent prices you might as well go to your own dealer. As for price reductions try and match the importers/...

Although its usually the sign of problems on engine the mayonaise it doesnt seem to be a problem. Freds clio has the same problem and drives long distances as well. There was a recient thread on this topic. I cannot see them giving you a lift you could always try a cheap rental car deal if...

The onboard computer is very accurate According to my calculations its over reads by 0.5%. I recomend buying a diesel with the miles. Youll save a fair bit. I get ~55mpg driving my DCI 65 hard all the time. Seems a waste gettign performacne car for the drive to and from work. Best thing about...

Sounds a good buy your looking at about £2500 for a new car. If you can afford it its good value IMO A one year newer car ie the 182 when you come to sell it should be worth about £1k more so the difference to change over the time you keep the car is now £1500. so you can have a new car for...

Im on my own name. Thing is if I get another policy then next yr Ill have 2yrs NCB next yr. If I stay as I am then in 6 months Ill look for insurance and have 2 yrs ncb and quote wont be much lower than what I am a the monent. Ive been driving for just over 2 yrs now which helps lower quote.

Err we all try not to crash but they why we pay for insurance. Why pay for insurance and then invalidate it? Mods cannot be removed if your inhospital. Take the safe option and tell your insurance company about all mods. Otherwise insuracne is a waste of money as its invalid.

Ive had a bit of an idea today after getting rediculous quote for 172. Insuring my dci is ~£700/yr now and I paid £880 almost 6 months ago. What do you all recon to cancelling my old insurance and getting ~£400 back and getting a new policy? Ive got the cash and paying 300 for 6 months insurance...

Yep different suspension in mine (2003 model) Im not sure if the 04 spec one are different but they are different. It doesnt roll as much I wasnt sure as my car spec sheet didnt mention it but if you drive an expression etc you can tell the difference. Ther used to be mention of different...

The most popular ECU mod for the cops is the R-Sport ECU. Its a complete replacment ECU so if you wan to bother each time its sent it you can remove the ECU and Renault willnt know about the mod. Its £200 I think best search for the exact price and phone number though. Gains are minimal top...

Id get them to check all the other mounts the extra load of them may have damaged them. Tell them you want some checks done on them and on the subframe damage may have occured to the mounts as there not supposed to be loaded as they have been. I can image them saying at a later date when the...

Worse thing is Ive yet to find any cheaper one and Ive been looking hard someone PM about a cheaper supplier but Ive not heard from them. No way Im paying £90 for a cable. I might give the yards a ring but Im not holding up much luck. If I wasnt such an honest person Id take one from a 172...

The one which was famously crashed was a pre production mule it was a modified 16V with Williams parts an wasnt numbered. The first model is in some Renault store or museum somewhere.

I think its about 2k for a decient job sure you can get a cheap garage to do if for 1/2 that but preperation is the most important and expensive part and thats what make it look good over a long time.

If your doing 250 a week Id say get a more reliable engine a 1.8 can be transplanted for about £1400. Otherwise get a 1.9 TD engine you will save yourself a bit a tunned disel will get about 50mpg so your looking at saving £600 a year plus a diesel should be good for 120hp which is stock GTT...

You can mod the exterier of the car under the free insurance. You can also get away with lowering it you just need to talk to the rght people there some will write it in as a visual mod ie not performance so keep ringing thm up. As for modifications best drop a bigger engine in there IMO...

There is a website on the net which gives an alternative method for bedding in the engine which give a reasonable explaination for why you shouldnt bed in the engine as recomended by the manurfactures. Its called motorman or something. There no reason why u cannot hammer it out the showroom...

You have to agree on what handling is though, handling could (as it most likely is here) mean how much the car can perform. Handling isnt as important as road feeling in my opinion being able to take bends faster means nothing if you cannot tell how much of the cars potential you are using...

Can you not use a uni chip? I think there only £250 (about 600 euros I think) As for piston manurfactures I dont know of any production one. you may need some one of ones making. Ive heard that this lot are good http://www.ariaspistons.com/ariaspistons Are you going to uprate the crank or...

MAF sensor? A good service seems to cure running problems Or/ and give it a clean out with that cleaning stuff they sell at halfords etc along with a full tank of decient fuel (ie no supermarkets etc)

Being as there selling new cars for ~8k near me (for 1.2 dynamics) Im gessing £5 is a reasonable estimate abite a low one. I recon mine (52 2002 with 23k) is worth £6k best. Tying to seel private may get you some more money but you have to weight the extra risk of selling it against the extra...

OK so I need a replacment cable for my cd changer (an alpine one from a mk 2 172). Renault want £86.18 for it (item number 8200 085591 BTW) and no Halfords that Ive been to today can get replacment as they saty there Renault only. They recomend trying autoleads but autoleads say Halford sell...

The company who sell Saxo superchargers claim on there website (or they used to) that any car can be supercharged. But space is the problem the piping is easier than a turbo isnt it take the power of fromn the aircon belt (or disconnect the aircon and use that mounting point). Then if ita low...
