I built a retro gaming machine for me and my daughter, we enjoy going up the town and buying games from CEX, loads of 90s and 2000s games for £1 on a half shelf at the back of the store!! loads of forgotten gems! EDIT: As per the RC Car thread, there is probably a lot more time and money...

my 197 has a noisy AC compressor and this is the first time I've experienced this (due to actually being able to hear it!) its a climate controlled car so when the AC is on, it displays AC on the screen, it seems to have a bug that when you press the demist button which puts fans to max and AC...

Agree with that, if you want a car to enjoy and not loose money on it's not a bad move, I wouldn't call it an investment though.

I had a really tidy/genuine one, although a bit higher miles and sold it about 6yrs ago, think I eventually got £1500 for it after a month or more of advertising

Definitely not his. He is 100% a silver Vauxhall Insignia kinda guy

Yeah they use shorter gas struts which were apparently a fortune but I'm sure people use a BMW 1 series strut which was cheap and fits, there will be a part no somewhere. Yeah connection is the same on all the spoilers for the brake lights

as above absolutely fine without them they just locate it. just make sure its sitting nice and square and all the shut lines are good before giving it a final torque (dont need to go tight with them, seen people crack them)

something in my head was telling me they were a different length but my mind is getting old and rusty now!!

Had a search but can't find anything, is there a known brand/part number for pattern part items? I remember the hassle I had years ago with mine when I needed one. Got a rear setup for my RSI to fit and need a pair of cables!

Oh dear! here's one for the cambelt thread lol

You know your getting old when your keeping on top of your AC system servicing, when years ago we were all throwing it in the bin!

As above nope, not unless it was clearly fecked as they are over £100

Crankshaft damper pulley? Had a very similar noise on my 197

@aldo_87 hopefully that's not the size list you used 😂😂

See my post above get back onto them!

I called up yesterday, hence my rant above 😂 was paying £36 a month for 250Mb after price increases etc. Seen the new customer deal of 250Mb for £17 pm. Went round the houses with them kicking off as the best solution they could offer me to my saying £36 is too expensive was a package with an...

I dont understand why they cant make a change for consumers like they did with car insurance where you cant offer cheaper deals to new customers than you can existing customers. Surely its better for the consumer as everyone gets a fair price Its better for the companies as they don't need all...

Just use the 172 mount with the powerflex bushes they are the same fitment. Later ones had them as standard

The powerflex bushes completely solve the issue with excess movement but add in all the vibration that the rubber is there to solve. Never tried the silicon method but it may be a good half way house. As above genuine replacement is a good solution but IMO it's worth doing at the same time as...

Must just be me but id much rather see the process out the car so its clear to see!

Sounds like clutch release bearing on the clutch if it's a MK2? A 2006 could be either a 2 or a 3! Lots of blue smoke could be the turbo on its way out but the car may just be needing a good run, 80 miles is a good distance but possibly not a lot of load. Worth giving the egr valve a clean out...

Got some replacement centre caps for the wheels, they will be going for a refurb in gold, a throwback to Ali G's 5GTT which had the same wheels 😂 Exhaust blow is all sorted now and she's running sweet! Anyone know a solution for getting the ABS, STOP and SERV lights off as it's throwing a...

Easy once the manifold is off if you can weld!

Ktec sell replacement flexis, I ordered a set for a customers car as it saved me the hassle of getting it in a ramp first to measure etc

I negotiated a SIM only deal when 4g with unlimited data was a fairly new thing so they were ££££ after ages in the phone I had a plan which was about £60 but they had put through discounts, so my bill looked like Plan £60 Upgrade discount -5 Upgrade discount -£7.50 Loyalty discount -£10 Loyalty...

Yeah I agree, I've got a decent set of pads on my 197 and they are very good, but I've had similar performance from single piston calipers. Very light if your a good enough driver to make the most of less unsprung weight but I'm not lol

doh! now i see your game haha

I found the brakes on mine were better than the 197/200 Brembos on the car it replaced, not sure on the size difference between them but they looked huge!

Just call Renault assistance and get it recovered to the dealership?

The airbag ribbon is inside the squib
