+1 . I never knew that either about the 182 cup steering wheels . Ya learn something new everyday eh !

I can't comment on halfords paint for being a good match , i've only ever used their bog standard paints like matt black and their lacquer . Personally i use a local motor factors that mixes paint and puts it in rattle cans and they're always spot on . Maybe check out one local to you or you...

You could either spray them yourself , like i did and quite a few others have . It's not hard to do . Colour code them to your car or go for a different colour altogether or contact sprayshack on here . He sprays just about everything .

Thats probably why it has a maximum and minimum you prick ;)

It should have 205/45/16's regardless of the colour of alloys . The anthracite alloys were just part of one of the 2 cup pack options .

The dealerships won't be pulling a fast one , they won't be footing the bill . Renault are footing the bill .

Of course they'll rebook you in and check it out . It's a Renault recall , they'll be footing the bill not the dealership . Just get it sorted , sooner rather than later . Why risk it ?

Nice one . Keep yopur fingers crossed you get a new catch FOC :D

You're sure you booked it in ? But can't remember when or where lol ? If you have the recall letter just ring your local dealer , get it booked in " again " and make note of the date then turn up . Better than risking your bonnet flying open and potentially writing off your car or worse :S

Your alarm will only tell you if your bonnet isn't actually closed . Not that the catch has actually operated as it should and is holding the bonnet locked in place . Hope you get some joy out of Renault , but i doubt it . Like they've never acknowledged that there is an issue with the steering...

Gutted for ya mate . Hope you can get it sorted . But if the roofs f**ked it's not looking good unfortunately :(

I've always lubricated my bonnet catch on a regular basis . It wasn't showing much signs of rust and i thought it was operating as it should , although on the odd occasion it never popped up as it should . Having taken it in due to the 2nd recall and having a new bonnet catch fitted FOC a few...

In the long run it's probably a god send that the welds broke on the nuts . Looks a much sturdier job now , better than what Renault originally did :-) It's unbelievable just how weak the original rubbers are and the state they are in when you take them off , what a crap design . Did line up the...

Nice one . That powerflex bush should outlive the car lol ;-) You ended up replacing the torx head bolts then ? I guess it's different on a 172 as you look like you've replaced them with nuts and some studs ?

Your coolant looks very low , could do with a top up . If this is a recent pic ? Just sayin' ;)

£25 ? Ebay £6.45 , they're all crap quality rubber inside . Or just get a Powerflex exhaust mount , and replace the rubber inside your old one £6.33 delivered . http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/151006433664?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649...

I know what you mean , i'll give them a good clean up . Cheers for that mate :drunk:

Top idea . Just went out to have a look , cracked all 8 nuts on both brackets . I used an 11mm socket though lol ? :S 2 were a bit rusty the other 6 were ok but i'll replace them with stainless nuts and copper slip em ya said . The torx bolt and nut just come off then i take it ? I'll replace...

Nice one . I think i'll have to go down that route too , removing the whole lot not just the brackets . Is the mounting that holds the brackets easy to remove ?

Hi . They're a pain in the arse to get out eh ? Last time i change the brackets about 2 years ago i never had a problem getting the bolts out , this time they've really rusted in though . That's why i wanted to know the size of the bolts in the likely event they'd be no use once i got em out . I...

I know , i'm just taking the piss . Some days the Yozza + decat does get a bit jading .

I'm off to work at 5.20 in the morning with my Yozza and Decat burbling away nicely . I bet the neighbours love me lol . I've never had em banging on my door though :S

I couldn't really hear anything ;) . I was too busy listening to that " pin drop " :approve: lol

^ ^ ^ Lmao :lolup:

Apparently you can drive it for the first 5 days of the month while your waiting for your new tax disc to arrive . But you must display your old invalid tax disc . After 5 days , it's an offence . But you'd be unlucky to be stopped unless some eagle eyed traffic warden clocks you .

After 5 days , you're committing an offence if you're not displaying a valid tax disc .

Yeah you will . You're allowed to drive for up to 5 days without displaying your new tax disc . Better get your skates on as it takes about 5 days for it to arrive .

Snapped on my Galaxy S3 back in January this year while sitting outside work early one morning . Thought the sky looked amazing . Not bad for a phone pic :D

I've never had a problem burning cd's and playing them on my standard head unit . I use Ritek discs , always have done . I use either Nero or Cdburnerxp .If you're getting cd error it's not able to read the disc so i'd try a different brand of disc . Free to download from here . Don't be...
