    Front suspension top nut loose.

    I had a new OS track rod end fitted the other day at a local garage . Today I noticed the top nut and suspension top mount were loose . I tightened it up quickly with a 21mm socket but it wanted to spin a bit , so I'm not convinced it's gonna be tight enough . Do I need to use an Allen key and a...

    halogen bulb in xenon projector ?

    I've been running these for about 18 months now and they've been spot on . 5000k are better , whiter than the 4300k oem. http://www.hids-direct.co.uk/d2s-35w-hid-xenon-bulb-set/

    How much do Renault charge for can change

    If you go to a reputable garage , like one of the specialists on here who use genuine parts , you'll get a 1 year guarantee on the parts anyway . Just the same as you would if you take it to a Renault garage . The only advantage of taking it to a specialist is they will have done lots of these...

    How much do Renault charge for can change

    I wouldn't trust a Renault dealership ever again . I've just had both my belts , dephaser , water pump etc ..... done at Diamond Motors on Wednesday , bit of a trek , 5 and half hours round trip but well worth it because of Micks knowledge of these cars and no Bullsh1t . The last time Renault...

    Just bought a 172, having doubts!

    If the car is nice, like you said in every other aspect except the belts, get the belts and dephaser done and you'll have a nice car at the end of the day for not much money

    Rear brakes - what to change?

    Swapping the old bleed nipples for stainless ones is well worth doing imo . Also bleed your brakes , new fluid would be a good idea whilst your at it . http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/181576126741?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

    Yet another Yozza Decat thread *what fits?*

    I wouldn't bother mate . I had a proper Yozza decat on my Yozza exhaust . I sold it last year for about £60 after I swapped it back to the Cat for the MOT . The only difference you'll notice is sound , its pretty loud . You won't notice any difference in performance . But if you do insist on...

    Lacquer help

    I don't see any harm in trying a hair dryer for a few seconds on a warm setting , just to evaporate any surface moisture that might be there . It can't really turn out any worse than your first attempt . It's worth a try imo .

    Lacquer help

    I meant moisture trapped under the lacquer, on the colour coat , that won't disappear with heat .

    Yeah they fit both front and rear .

    Broken nipples

    You'll mostly likely struggle getting them out . Try some screw extractors like these . http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/5-PIECE-PCE-DAMGED-SCREW-EXTRACTOR-CASE-BOLT-SCREW-STUD-REMOVER-EASY-OUT-/160832214896?hash=item257258d770 Failing that . You'll have to drill them out and retap the thread . The...

    Brake question..

    Rear brake discs last for a very long time , so do the pads .I've had my 182 for 9 and half years and only changed my original rear discs last September . It's had 3 lots of new discs and pads on the front in all that time , that's covering 58K miles. Rear pads don't have alot of friction...

    Advice on alloys?

    Shame about the dent . Google PDR or paintless dent removal in your area . Typically a PDR guy would charge about £40 a dent , might be a little more for that . You'll only know if you ring one and ask .

    Advice on alloys?

    Your car looks tidy as it mate . I'm not a fan of those alloys either , stick to the oem look .

    Do I chop up my Yozza?
