i recon its more like CS is full of thickos that cant read.

i think pretty much regardless of whats happening with it it will be getting a new engine, what i decide to do with it after that we will see! not sure i want a performance car that cant stand up to the way a performance car should be driven!

dealership just off the phone, drained the oil and its full of metal shavings! further investigation tomorrow!

listen to this man

nearly 2 months lol, waiting to see the final diagnosis before i take any action, could end up being something silly but for something to be proper knocking and banging loudly and loss of engine power that doesnt sound good to me!

AA have just recovered it, guy said it sounds like bottom end failure, woop woop!!!! got a big f**k off diesel mondaeo, its the most strange handling car ive ever driven! horrible!

2 months old im the first owner. bloddy renault. on the phone to my favourite dealers trying my hardest to stay calm at their "were fully booked until next week and have no curtisy cars" attitude. it genuinely sounds like somethings let go in the engine.

great. 2200 miles on the clock, pulling up through the revs on the motorway and suddenly BANG, engines knocking its head off, car shuddering and cuts out. hope my curtisy car is half decent!

ive changed a few and sucessfully cured the same problem the OP has had.

my mates is on bilstein springs and dampers and handles brilliant

you get patern part ones cheap but you will be able to tell by looking at the pipework, thats decent if you got a brand new genuine one!

depends in the car, either way the 1.6 dci is the better engine. closely followed by the 1.5 DCi. turbocharged petrol "eco" engines are ok in theory still got a bit to go yet before they are equaling diesels

i would be very surprized if hes stuck a genuine renault exhaust on it? that plus discs and pads is probably the best part of £800 odd quid! someone will probably be able to confirm that? i know they arnt cheap!

will be a seal if its bubbling air out the seal, saw it loads

very nice, nice to see a pretty standard one too! say bye bye to having any spare money left however lol!

chances are it just needs an injector seal couple of pence, quite common on older ones

Renault's first turbocharged, direct-injection petrol engine – the Energy TCe 115 – is particularly responsive. Thanks to peak torque of 190Nm, a figure worthy of a two-litre powertrain and available from as low as 1,750rpm, the Energy TCe 115 delivers the acceleration and mid-range response...

a nice fresh set of standard 172 wheels in silver would look awesome on that!

erm except its a complete re engineer job?!

suits the silver wheels pitty the front plate ruins it.

dci without a doubt 1.2 tce's arn't great on fuel, about the same as a 1.2 16v on fuel but with a bit more power. DCi is leagues ahead in fuel consumption

i beleive both the 1.2 tce100 and 1.4 tce are being replaced with the new 1.2 tce115 1.5dci has 65 to 110bhp depending on model, its the 1.6dci that has 130bhp

little clips behind the steeringwheel, turn it to the side and look through the windscreen you will see them 2 or 3 from memory and full airbag comes off as one, worth disconnecting battery first and leaving it for 10 minutes before doing it.

common fault, dodgey switch,

they are ph2 172 ones. 182 ones were just silver.

as above thats how i done it when i was doing it

5 pages and no one has read the bit at the bottom of the page posted in post 2

ive not used a sony thats been released in the last year but used a few that are 1 to 2 yrs old and generally Lenovos are better built although the sony is in no way badly built!

intels latest integrated graphics arnt bad btw they will quite happily stream 1080p and watch bluerays etc which is probably all you need if not gaming? you must have one of the lucky ones! their business class ones arnt bad but the usual mainstream stuff ive had nothing but bother with in the...

a faster i5 processor, same ram, larger hard drive, same size both LED screens, different graphics chipset but still much on par with each other yet its going to be leagues ahead build quality, and its £100 cheaper, hence my better for the cash quote. agree with what roy says above too.
