could easily have argued you thought you were being car jacked IMO, Police must have zero tolerence on Car Jacking as its an up and coming crime, oh to be a trend setting criminal scumbag....
attempted car jacking with knives and baseball bats you say?
Surely the police cant ignore that... ;)
little f_ckers!
Try some professional bodyshops, might be able to work magic without the cost hassle of replacing the panel.

I will never know why they try it on in 1.2s. I was side by side with a 182 the other day we were cruising and some 1.2 clio all over our tails on a 30 limit - tw*ts.
in the north of scotland they want you to count how many are on your car and report it. Apparently the birds are suffering cause theres less flies to eat...
Fook that! I use tar remover to get them off if theyre baked on.
Note that for racing, the pause in neutral with the clutch out is not required, as in racing its practiced primarily to avoid reverse load on the clutch and wheel-locking, rather than working around dodgy gearboxes. In which case its simply refered to as heel and toe
double de-clutch used to be required in older cars I think to get into gear without a synchromesh... cars nowadays dont have a sycromesh in reverse but do in all forward gears.
Hence the crunching in reverse if youre still moving forward.
I paid £200 when i bought mine for 3 years free servicing, after that Ill not be at a Renault Garage with it and my warranty will be up.
Well worth asking bout service packages when you buy, you can have 3 services for the price of 1
u sure you arent hearing the exhaust heatshield contracting? guess not if engine is running still.
go to an independent garage to get a diagnosis before taking to renault - and tell renault what it is
it is normal, sh_t happens, but its fixable with some RTV (silicon) probably a 2 day job to give the RTV time to cure (usually 12-24hrs) then it can be compressed like a gasket. As for the bolts, some loctite will do the trick.
i took mine to the dealer telling them they needed to take the rocker cover off and seal it. they just torqued up the bolts, still leaking. Next time they will have to fix it properly I;ll make sure of it.
unlucky, thats gotta hurt.
try some pilot exaltos and dont risk it on shot tyres, especially not with 3 police cars behind you!
Hope you can get it fixed at a reasonable price
yeah they are tight as fook at first hence you should be a bit more gentle when ure running it in. If you really rally it then youre possibly over stressing the metal as its wearing in.
i think rallying it might be a bit ott at first, let it warm up for maybe 10 minutes dont redline it at first, vary the revs a lot and use engine breaking.
mine keeps getting faster and faster, at 19,500 miles now and very well run in :-)
