^^^^ mine had very similar front end damage , hit a crash barrier at between 50 - 60mph , because it wasn't a direct front end impact mine never went off .
If the tube spins , then your not on the thread properly, because the tube is only tight enough to hold the plug just enough to get it started .
If you think that your on the thread and you use a plug socket straight away , it only takes a couple of turns then your threads fcuked up :(
If you put the end of the spark plug in the plastic tubing , then start to tighten it up that way , IF YOU DON'T get it on the thread and its gonna cross thread the tubing just spins round .
Once you've got it started with the tubing , then use the plug socket to tighten it up .
Do you...
Take care not to cross thread when your puttin' the new plugs back in .
A good tip is to get some 10mm flexible plastic tubing , put that on the end of the spark plug to start it off , if its not on the thread properly it will spin so you know its gonna cross thread , then once you've...

Nothings cheap on a Renault mate ,lol ;) It all depends how much the car goes for , your knowledge and skill level of repairs , access to cheap(er) parts etc ........
If you could snap it up at the right price i think it would be a good buy . It would obviously be better and advisable to...
Agree toyos in the dry are not bad , but that could be said about lots of different brands of tyre . In the wet they are sh*te and i care about the handling in the wet just as much as the dry , don't want to be tip toeing around bends like some old fart sunday driver ,lol ;)
The pirelli...
Probably tempting fate here , but i'm 100% happy with it so far , only 10 weeks old , just the usual knocking on full lock other than that no problems so far ( touch wood ) ;)
Where did ya take it , Kitchens in Burnley ? I wasn't impressed with em when i took my 172 there . But they did fcuk...
For a start dump the toyos mate . I had t1-r's and t1-s's on my 172 and tbh in the wet they are sh*te .
Can't believe how much better the grip on the Exaltos are wet and dry . The cup suspension on my 182 is miles better than the suspension on my old 172 , but i have to agree , some people do...
