I've been having issues with the tdc sensor causing the car to misfire. Think it's caused by the loom as I fitted a new bosch sensor two months ago. Got a quote from Renault of £117 to fit a modified loom. Does this sound like a good price?
Theme is 'Super Car Sunday - The ultimate performance machines ~ cars and bikes'. Usually one of the best days of the year with a good mix of cars. Think you'll agree our Renaultsport Clios qualify perfectly for this ;)

My engine is running on after turning it off. Checked for vacuum leaks and engine temp is normal so I'm going to try some Winns/STP/Redex treatment to try decoking first. If that doesn't work are there any sensors that could cause this issue?
Thinking of swapping the Monaco for a Megane 225 F1 Team. It's up at £10,495 and they've offered me £3,000 for the Monaco. The car drives well and they've agreed to repair curbing on a wheel, and scuffs on wing mirror, passenger seat mount and gear lever. Only thing left is to decide if I really...
Got a bad misfire and think I need a new crank sensor. Last time cleaning the sensor cured the problem but it's come back worse than ever, struggling to do 50, exhaust is popping and revs are jumping up and down wildly :dapprove:
Is this a Renault only part or can I get it cheaper from a...
Going to get the frontend resprayed as not happy with all the stone chips.
I've had a quote of £500 for bonnet, bumper, wings, mirrors and blend into doors. Had work done by the guy before and was happy with the results. Does this sound like a good price?
Anyone else able to recommend a...
Problem with my car has been diagnosed as the gearbox. Can anyone recommend a gearbox rebuilder? Quote from my garage is £561+vat for rebuild plus fitting.
Sorry for another thread about offsets. I'm looking to buy some 15" wheels with an offset of ET36 but I'm worried this might be too much. Is anyone running this much offset on a 172? If so, how much is your car lowered by and do you get any rubbing? Cheers
Got my Northwest Performance 172 silenced decat fitted yesterday. Took them two hours to fit it but they only charged 30 quid. Getting them to quote a price wihtout knowing work involved FTW :cool:
Really happy with it as the sound is amazing but not too loud. It revs alot more freely now and...
Seeing as I missed out on seeing loads of good cars at the last meet I want to go to this one. Theme is ‘Sporting Family Favourites – four-seater fun’ so I'm tempted to take the Chevy to this one :)

Is this the best method for painting the bullets?
Prep, Grey primer x 2, wet sand, Monaco paint x 3, wet sand, touch up pen for numbers, lacquer x 2.
Also do you just pull side strips towards back of car to remove them.
Fitted a Cup Spoiler this afternoon which involved a bit of swearing trying to get it to sit properly. Bought it off Laurence (VeinAST) already painted and with the correct brake light connectors for an excellent price. Makes a big difference to back of the car IMO :D

One of my sidelights has gone so I want to replace them with lights that'll match the xenons. What size do I need and where can I get them from? Cheers :)
Had an arguement with a curb and it won. Happened trying to park level with cars next to me not realising they were right over the curb :o
Ghetto fix FTW
Car has been starting fine with no problems until tonight. I stopped turned engine off then tried to start it few minutes later but nothing happened, completely dead. Battery is fine, lights on dash come on as normal before turning the ignition but it won't turnover. :(
Is it the immobiliser as...
Took the plenum off yesterday to change my spark plugs. Have my inlets been matched or is it the bit that joins to the head that is badly matched? As far as I know they're not matched and I have had the car since March 2007.
Got a really bad misfire and the speedo sometimes dances up and down when accelerating. Speedo problem started after the ABS and SERV lights briefly came on. Read that it could be ABS rings but my rears are oem and less than two months old.
No engine management lights have come on since the...
My foil heatshield on the enginebay bulkhead has fallen down and melted on the exhaust manifold. Had a look on Demon Tweeks but not sure if these would be any good or how much I'd need? http://www.demon-tweeks.co.uk/products/ProductList.asp?cls=MSPORT&grp=MP241&pgrp=MP040&tlgrp=MS005

As above, need some suggestions for what to get. I'd like a cradle that I can plug the charger into and hide away the wire. The tomtom cradle would be ideal but screw paying 100 quid for it. Thanks in advance :)
Arranging a driving meet has been discussed a few times at meets so I thought I'd start a thread. The plan is for the meet to take place early Sunday morning on one of the following dates:
Sunday 8th November
Sunday 22nd November
Sunday 29th November
Haven't decided on a final route yet so...
