Nice one I may have to go there to have my cambelt done next year....always nice to know the car is in safe hands when something so important is being replaced.

Seems to be lots of different opinions/expereriences regarding exhausts and conflicting reports.

I had problems with my old Magnex too.....also looked far too big on teh car (twin 3.5 tailpipes). Ended up going for the K-tec Stealth....okay, so it's not super high quality but it fits well and does it's job well.

That is a VERY long way to go if you are unsure I'd try and source something closer

Yeah, 2k plus is silly money

Go for the 6 or 8....seven is worst looking.

Good cars but the more I see them the more ugly they look. Different league in terms of running costs as well...very, very expensive. Go for it if you can afford it

Varies but I have had 45mpg out of my 172 on the motorway. Not too bad economy wise for a performance car.....just depends how heavy your right foot is.

That's pretty appaling....how difficult is it to do up a sump plug? I usually check mine after it's been to the garage just to be on the safe side...bit paranoid but saves hassle in the long run. Hope you get it sorted

Yep...I've had a couple of black cars and they are definately the worst for showing dirt & scratches etc. I wouldn't have thought blue would be too bad but it is a s**t time of year...lots of grime and leaves etc on the roads.

TBH I f**King hope they have done it for a laugh. It's a bit odd though that they have gone to the trouble of spraying up the original exhaust.

Saw that posted on here the other day. Still makes me laugh though....whatf**king idiot does that thinking it's going to fool anyone!

Does sound like a hell of a lot of oil has gone pretty quickly....maybe it ia the sump plug

Kinda regret selling my Renault 19 16v....wasn't mint but a really nice motor

Must be able to do this with a laptop, OBD port lead and the appropriate software. Does anyone know how to do this DIY or where I can get the gear from. I need to get my ecu reset to get rid of the bloody emissions light.

Car looks great Look forward to seeing the results:)

Where is the part going to be then if you take the plenum off and it's not there? Surely that's going to cause internal problems

Exactly....and given Renaults reputation with dodgy electrics I think it's even more or a reason to keep dipping.

Yeah...sometimes real brute force is needed to get the b**gers off!

That's a pain in the a*se I used to disconnect the battery on my Subaru as well to clear teh ecu fault codes. How do you actually clear the faut codes....is it a case of getting to the ecu via the OBD port?

I was just about to say that I never rely on the oil counter on the dash...dipstick is the only way to be 100% sure you've got enough in there.

Always sad seeing a good car go Bet you can't wait for the V6 though....lucky b**tard!

Tacky as fook....please don't do it

Re: I hate renault - help Sounds like BS to me

I'd say you were right there....more than likely some incompetent woman dropping the sprogs off who doesn't really care about the car as the hubbys anyway.

Well what a surprise...that thread didn't get ugly after all lol

I think they're okay....actually functional keeping stone ships and road grime/tar off your sills etc unlike stickers/rally graphics

Loads of exhaust threads on here..just do a search and you should find some good reccomendations for a new system etc.

Sounds like a good issue Renault should have just dropped a derivative of the Megane 225 engine in the new Clio:)
