I'd stick with the self tappers myself . If you do come into contact with something hard enough to damage the splitter like a kerb at least it will only damage / rip off the splitter not the bumper , if its fastened on too securely , like with the bolts mentioned it might try and rip the bumper...

DVD -R or DVD+R can only be written on once . DVD RW are rewriteable , they can be recorded on over and over , and the content erased . I always use the DVD - R rather than the +R , look for good quality ones rather than cheaper ones . Something with the Ritek G05 or G06 dark purple dye ...

Had the same happen to me on my 172 after it was repaired after a slight mishap with a motorway crash barrier . As Final Maxim says bad prep , that was the bodyshops opinion also , and it wasn't a backstreet garage , was the biggest and supposedly the best in Blackburn .

Nice job mate , looks good . Get some of this stuff on your tyres , best stuff i've used yet . http://www.carwashnwax.com/10278/info.php?p=13&pno=0&pid=548255&cat=&ack=9&search=&sought=

Boots looks good , looks like some time and effort went into it , sorry to say mate the front speaker pods and wires let your efforts down .

Nice one . Some of the dealerships might be useless robbing b*stards but Ren UK customer services have always been alright with me :)

Just give Renault UK customer services a ring mate . As soon as i got mine home thats all i did , they'll most likely want your VIN number and reg number , then they put the car on the system , only takes a couple of mins , they were very helpful with me .

Sorry mate your wrong with the years . Its 2 years manufacturers and 1 year dealership . But you might be right with him having a problem if it wasn't registered with Renault UK when it was first bought . Like ya say , they are all imports ,lol, all from the same Alpine factory . And...

I'm on my second import . You get 3 years full warranty and 3 years AA assistance on imports unless the car was sourced from Holland or was destined for Cyprus . The first two years is the manufacturers warranty covered by Renault , the third year is covered by the dealership . Phone...

Ouch , thats gonna hurt ;)

You mean no engine covers on the cups ? It was to keep the weight down ;)

I was recommended Proclean by a guy who did a repair on my seat . http://www.procleanalloys.co.uk/ A couple of others around the north west . Don't know the quality of their work though . http://www.alloywheelsrefurbished.co.uk/information.htm http://www.wheelrepair.co.uk/

The recommended interval for changing the air filter is 24,000 miles . Personally i'd change every 12,000 miles as part of the service , or better still buy one yourself or an itg panel filter and change it yourself . Only 2 mins of a job .

So how much are they charging you for the plugs Bobbo without the labour costs ? Might be better off supplying the plugs yourself , save you a few quid .I think they are takin' the piss with the ordering from France bit , lol . They probably get em delivered from a local motor factor .

Nice vids there Zed . The 306 definitely seems to pull harder than 172 ;) ph quick i think some guys call em , lol .

Your still under warranty , take it in to the dealership . Don't bother messing about with reconditioned calipers , whats the point of shelling out good money on a car so new that " should " be fixed for free . If they try and charge you , or your not happy phone Renault UK . Tel . 08000...

Somebody needs to snap that up at that price . I was struggling in February to find a new 182 with cup packs , phoned loads of places all over the UK , finally found one about 15 mins from me , lol . Price on the road was £12,227 Think he's avin a laff if he expects £14,500

Old at 31 , lol , i don't think so ;) I guess your location will have brought the price down a fair bit . Get some more info on who ya got the quote off please .

£240 for the cup ? Hell thats cheap :)

Not sure , i think they do but they look like a right b**ch to get off , thats if they don't crack . Don't know what you have , if its a 172 cup you won't need the abs rings anyway . IIRC somebody posted that a pair of bearings are about £60 , correct me if somebody knows better . If...

Rear disk with abs ring fitted .The ring with the teeth .

Don't forget you will need new wheel bearings in the rears and abs rings fitted unless you have a 172 cup . I can't see any bearings or rings on the pics ,i 'd e mail the seller and ask if they come complete with bearings and abs rings if i were you .

Nice pics ! 2 Gorgeous lookin motors there lads :)

Good cars if you get a good un , get a bad un and you could be throwin away plenty of cash :( Quite a few on here . http://www.306gti6.com/forum/showforum.php?id=21&page=1

Was close to gettin a valver a few years ago , couldn't find a good un anywhere , travelled all over the place . I must admit , still think that the Williams has that wow factor , very nice cars :) Think i'll stick with my 1.2 that looks like a 182 , lol ;)

There ya go mate , it doesn't always have to be quite up to the performance of the RS clios to have fun . Theres plenty of other good cars out there like your old golf . Just comes a time when you have to get rid and get something newer .

^^^^ What a good idea . Because it always seems to rear its ugly head frequently . I normally try to steer clear of these kind of threads myself , but seems i got drawn into this one :eek:

Exactly the reason i bought the 172 and 182 new , a 3 year warranty , after a certain age a car can start to become a bottomless pit , throwing good money after bad just to keep it on the road . Just cos i had a few quid knocking about doesn't mean to say i should throw it away on an older more...
