    Type r content, far too cheap

    They seem to have a lot of vehicles for sale, but only uploaded everything to their website recently; http://phelsdi.6te.net/ Anyway - been covered elsewhere: http://www.911uk.com/viewtopic.php?t=78862&start=0&sid=39c1c6e5a4a56c6d2c19c1f26f25e3de

    Best gearbox oil

    To keep it in warranty without any problems later, just let them refill with the standard Elf oil, it's perfectly ok.

    Improved sound, OEM looks

    I put 6.5" Hertz ones (on MDF spacers) upfront, and although disappointing initially they've loosened up lately & are punchier. I'd like to put a mid-bass in the rear positions now.

    172 exhaust fitting mismatch?

    Ahh right, thought so as would be more normal.

    172 exhaust fitting mismatch?

    I have a pattern exhaust centre section on the car, and recently fitted a Renault backbox as the pattern part hung too low & bashed the subframe. But - the two pipes are the same diameter, so we had to use a sleeve tube (about 8") over them both & a couple of clamps to hold it in place. Now...

    Gearbox oil

    They sell the proper Elf stuff on ebay, even with P&P it's cheaper than going to Renault direct.

    clio 172 exhaust.

    Standard/pattern have just 1 hanger. A couple of 'performance' aftermarket ones have two hangers - the 2nd connects to a mounting point in the middle of the car IIRC. Pattern rear backboxes for these are, IME, rubbish. The proper Renault one is much better made.

    Thanks guys, much appreciated.

    172 undertray fixings?

    I've lost the bolts that hold on the undertray, can anyone tell me what size they should be so I can replace them?

    Before & after K-tec Induction Kit graphs

    Exactly - the airbox seals up the intake at that point, so water isn't sucked in. There were a couple of '6s that killed engines by having a K&N 57i mounted low and ingesting water...

    Focus TDCI estate, £1 start, no reserve!

    So did he end the bid early? It ended for less than the breaker offered!

    Nexus Madness

    It's not that odd the phone not having LTE, as it's hardly available anywhere yet (and is chuffing expensive too) & adding it would have pushed the price up - I think it's a shrewd move - it's pretty much the only thing lacking.

    Need help on sound system

    You don't need more than one sub, just buy a good one & a good amp. Don't skimp too much on speaker cable either.

    After a couple of days of electrical faults...

    You don't need the bumper off, but it can be a ballache getting in there to get it off if bolts, etc have rusted. Factor in a new aux. belt as well while you're at it.

    Mobile Phone Insurance

    My fiancee & I have an upgraded joint bank account with LloydsTSB, and have used their mobile phone insurance twice - once for a repair (it was just replaced), the second time when one was lost. Each time I had a new phone within a few days, very pleased with it. Most banks offer a similar...

    O Connector for Earth Wire

    That is incorrect advice. The power cable must be rated higher than the amplifier requires, but the fuse should be matched as close to the amp's maximum requirement. In this case, the fuse then protects both cable & amplifier together. To the OP - you won't have 8AWG speaker cable, it'd...

    Alarm question

    Did the engine even turn over? If yes then the immobiliser's probably kicked in. If the battery voltage is down, the alarm might well kick in anyway.

    Poor running after exhaust fitting

    If you can get under the car to look, the new welds should be fairly obvious. FWIW, my pattern zorst backbox was always a bit noisy, not that much quieter than the rude-boy Powerflow one it replaced.

    Galaxy S3 and Built in Bluetooth?

    Well all my Android phones have worked with whatever in-car BT i've tried, and i've had 4 over the years! In fact, it's been more reliable than iphones as they've only recently sorted their sh*t out to get it working to the new BT standard like everyone else... Suggest a check on Renault's...

    clio 182 xenons question....

    They're auto-levelling if they're set correctly to start with.

    MOT fail

    Ask Wests Renault (on here) for prices for a pair of standard springs, they may be able to offer a tempting price to persuade you to stay standard & avoid the hassle.

    Upgraded (Hertz) speaker install - thoughts

    Nads, the cable's not Vibe stuff, it's this: http://caraudiosecurity.com/shop/product/products_id/6742.html just "Autoleads Q-DOS Competition Pro 1.5mm" stuff

    Upgraded (Hertz) speaker install - thoughts

    Minor update, the speakers have started to be run-in and must be loosening up as there's a bit more bass/midrange present now. The top end is still too bright/harsh though, so i'm going to run a load of new speaker cables through, have bought new connectors & crimp terminals (even found the...

    Fitting Components

    There was no way the tweeters would've unclipped on mine without being able to yank them out when the dash was off - they were on too tightly.

    Headphone recommendation?

    Get the Grados like the first reply said, or Sennheiser HD25SPs. Thread closed!

    New powerflow exhaust looks awesome

    They should have left the plastic bottle intact to collect the exhaust gasses, then you could've driven with zero emissions!

    Anyone know the songs that play in HMV on the Beats?

    Just ask instore & pretend like you want to buy those tracks. Then go buy some Sennheiser HD 25-SP II headphone, or Grado SR 60s instead, ignore that beats audio pap!

    radio really starting to get on my nerves

    There should be loads on ebay, pretty sure I got one for about a tenner or so although it's not a genuine one, a few months ago.

    So I went to Renault....

    My local Renault want to charge over £50 for 3litres of the Elf gearbox oil AND i'd have to take a container for it myself - I can get 5 litres delivered for less!
