Called scotroen and the guy reckoned around 7-800. I told him about the place in motherwell charging £480 and he was shocked it was that cheap. Thought he mite not be doing the full job. Is this a possibility? Phoned dagleish renault, proberly closest place to me and they reckon about £600 for...

Well not just to do the car. I worked the best part of 20 hours over sat and sun then a full day on monday. I was give 2 days extra holiday so i took one today for a lie in. Didnt have anything planned so cracked the tools out. Snow foam is def worth it. I got a free crappy bottle with the...

So last at the turn of the year i finally go my 182. Very happy with it and its going to gets its belts changed within the next few weeks. Last week i invested in a power washer/snow foam and a few cleaning products. After working all weekend i thought i deserved a cheeky day off and gave it a...

Yea. i may be able to get a lend of a machine. Will the towel do the trick for the time being?

I only bought it as it was pretty cheap, im starting out and its a decent make. Im sure once i get to grips with it and use it up the next time i buy il aim for summin better/waht suites my needs.

http://www.i4detailing.co.uk/acatalog/Lake_Country_CCS_4_Pads_1.html One of these do the trick? Bought a towel as well. Which is better to use with the SRP?

Rite, im off the morn so il phone about a few places.

Rite thanks. Il give the car a go with the snowfoam then try the polish. AS its still winter im not looking for the perfect look just yet. just trying to get the hang of things. Bloody roads area mare this time of the year. thanks for the help tho.

I was in edinburgh last nite. Working on a job near Queens street. 54 plate as well, wasnt at the garge tho.

Cheers lou, have sent them an email to get a quote. The price is with my budget at the-garage but i dont really want to travel that far and kill a day in motherwell. Not the brightest of places.

Gort a day off tomorow so going to give the motor a decent clean. Bought a snow foam and the usual stuff so that should be fun but have also bought - "Autoglym Super Resin Polish" http://www.i4detailing.co.uk/acatalog/Autoglym_Super_Resin_Polish_1.html Got the polishing cloths to go with it but...

Yea pretty much. http://www.the-garage.co.uk/ + £50 for an MOT. But they seem to cover more than the usual mot requirements. Got to speak to Scotren in edinburgh but this place in motherwell seems pretty good.

Been quoted £480 inc vat for both belts on my 182. Does that sound pretty cheap? From what ive read it does but do you think it could be cheaper? Its at the-garage in motherwell so i need to travel up to there which is a good hours drive and then kill some time. Can anyone recommend anywhere...

Found it on gogole maps. Only around a 45min drive. Will give them a call and see if they can give mea price. Is that what you did?

Rite if you can let me know. Where abouts are they located? I take it belts is an all day job?

There was a thread about Evans Halshaw charging a huge amount for the first job but im looking to kill two birds with one stone and get everything done. CAn anyone recommend anywhere around edinburgh/scottish borders where to go and idea of prices. Is it best to go to a renault garage or dos it...

So ive read. As long as its around the 5 ton mark il be happy if thats mot as well. Did you just call them up and get a quote?

Seems alrite. That for both belts all inc? I mite see what they say to an mot on top of that.

K-tec seems pretty cheap. Anyone know of anything similar in or around Scotland? Im due for MOT/Belts soon and want to have everything in place asap.

Could be an idea. As said above what all needs done and what type of paint would you recommend.

Cheers. Is it best to go to a Renault dealer over a normal garage?

So looking below £4-500 for the lot? That hte most i can afford just now for everything. Am i best to just phone up various garages and get a quote on belts for the 182 or cant they price summin like that up until its been done?

Rite thanks. Hes on the verge of leaving the law and starting his own garage up but with financial situatuion hes delayed it i think. I have only had the car a few weeks and it feels all okay bar the clutch, it feels a little loose/rattley, so it shouldnt need much for the MOT. What price would...

Im looking to get my belts done in the next month or 2. Possibly hold off til the mot at the end of feb. Would it work out cheaper getting belts/mot at the same time or not? Got some money set aside as well for but a guy a know who a policeman/mechanic has offered to do the aux belt. Iv heard...

Yup i do. Sorry am not in to all the lingo you boys know. So any tips/advice for getting them looking good? thanks.

Recommend this place. http://www.blackcircles.com/home Michelin PILOT EXALTO PE2 only £99.58 fully fitted.

Thinking of giving it a clean/polish over the weekend. Have given the forum a quick search but want to know waht people recommend sand paper wise etc.. Is it possible to pick this stuff up in b&q or do you neeed to get it off the internet. Any other tips welcome. Thanks

Had this the other day. Thought it mite be summin along these lines.

Cheers for the advice. It was angle tuning if you have ever came across it. £295 for everything. I think al leave it just now anyway as i need to get the belt/belts changed soon and mot is due in 2 months. Seems to be worth doing so will but some pennies away for it.
