Looks fairly tidy although it's missing its bullets on both sides weirdly enough! I'd make sure the belts were done at a specialist too. It's all well and good having an invoice of the parts being purchased and genuine renault, but if they've been fitted by the local mechanic who has one eye and...

Well for anyone wanting to do this too, I simply removed the existing renault LED unit. Pulled out the connector and soldered this to my LED strip. Removed the little opaque light diffusion plastic from the housing and stuck the LED strip to it after cutting it down to size. Connected it back to...

I have two addresses down mate as I'm a student. YO and HD. Put named drivers down if you havn't. Lots of silly stuff reduces prices on the comparison sites! Higher mileage, driving in peak times, etc lowered my premium funnily enough! All my mods were declared too.

I'm with hastings and I'm 21 with 1NCD. £860 I think i paid. Always best ringing, its amazing how much they can knock off.

You gonna update your project thread now @Davyy? Maybe edit the story a little so you didn't break anything ;)

Ask the girlfriend for some lube.

I'm awaiting a snapped fuel rail.

Looks like a great car. Just something about it says 'chav' to me though! Not sure if it's the big red wheels or the decals. IMHO ofcourse

He managed to snap the injector alright though.

But all you have to do is slide an axle stand under, you dont even have to move the jack. Not worth the risk IMHO. (Obviously different if repairing a flat at the side of the road though).

If it does fail the damage should be fairly minimal as all the wheels are still on though? Unless you do work with a trolley jack and no axle stands which is a bit silly.

Can use the radio control stalk too to skip between numbers and to submit the code.

The optimism at 11am ;)

You've got the whole forum helping you here 😂

Yes mate, just put a screwdriver under the little metal bit and lever it off.

That's a good shout... remember to take my service book with me!

No don't drive on 3 cylinders! Have you got a long screwdriver? They're not that strong from the side, just make sure you dont destroy it completely so it wont turn. Hit it all the way through. Or use some nice large water pump pliers on it.

Least it's only 3 injectors you have to worry about for a while now if you get a misfire. :)

Hi Mick, You honestly havn't gone wrong anywhere with me! I am just trying to get a scope on prices in general with the companies that are more local to me, with similarly good reputations when it comes to the work carried out. Your replies were the quickest I got and have left me with lots of...

Spoken to DDC, and been told its £440 for the timing belt/aux,+ £150 for dephaser + £42 for oil but i'd be able to supply my own oil.

I think you're right mate! Probably would do a good job mind, but i doubt it'd be a better job as surely there's only '1' right way to do the belts/timing? Can't wait to get out with the car now!

Least you can rest in the knowledge of the car having £1500 worth of belts :dizzy:

At RSMurray they stated that "£260" is labour alone, hence the high price and that there was no movement. Seems everyone has bad experiences at different places! I'd go RSTuning, but feel the price wont be far off RSMurray for the belts doing. Might just bite the bullet and go DDC for belts...

Proper Hijacked this thread...

I'm stuck between DDC and ricky now. Will give both a ring tomorrow and see when they can fit me in.

Had never heard of him to be fair. Quality of the work done well? No timing issues?

EG Looked ace!

Was only the aux I think changed mate. Still ridiculous!

All genuine parts at DDC I presume? For £70 it's worth it!

That's cheap! I'll give them a ring in a bit and try get booked in. Better sooner than later.
