i drove a DCi86 for a few days as a curtisy car a few months ago and was mighty...
i was considering getting in touch with knockhill and seeing if i could get anyone who any resonable person would be able to assume understands how a car reacts under braking to do a few laps and write a report on it, but as i mentioned on the RS forum, i work 6 to 7 days a week every week 60+...
ive got a report showing the full alignemnt is fucked, renault say, no it isnt. because there basic machine shows camber and caster is within tollerance.
progrip say its fucked, renault say its not. i know who i trust however what do you do?!?! just want it sorted now.
cheers for the comments...
yeah thats it, at the end of the day ive had 7 clios the chances are if the new mk4 RS is going to be as good as it should be ill be having a few of them too and i wont be going anywhere near Arnold Clark for one, so its them that loose out in the end! not that they really care, a customer is...
ive never done a 172/182 but done a few non RS petrol and diesels.
personally id take it out the top if your just doing it in your garage, you will need to split the box and engine, you may need to lower the subframe to get enough room to get the box out the road, but because your just dropping...
its got to the point now that im booking it into progrip in larbert to have all the front end geometry points removed and refitted and aligned 100% perfect. ordering a set of DS2500's all round for it and ill also get progrip to strip all the brakes off it, clean and service them, fit them all...
Re: My Ultra Red 200.
i agree with hero spec or nothing.
i originally went in to order a hero spec white one but saw my current albi sitting pre reg, and after weighing up the options had i gone new i was looking at a 3 month wait and £4k extra for £1k of options over my current one, thats the...
heres a few snippets from the dealership sales material issued from the manufacturer to help sell the car i purchased.. ie. the one i wrongly assumed was designed to be used for trackdays....

cheers for the support guys, just to answer a few questions briefly im on my phone.... ar behaves its self under braking on road most of the time its the 70mph+ situations so dealership struggle to replicate the fault. I agree its a brake hydraulic issue not all down to the tracking however...
copy and paste from my post on renaultsport uk forum
well just had my meeting with the general manager, sales manager and service manager all in on it.
they still stand by the fact that there is no issue with my car, the miss aligned subframe isnt an issue as their alignment machine is showing...
most of you will have seen my thread with the issues im having with arnold clark and my clio 200, ive now got a meeting tomorrow to enter discussions with the dealership manager as to where were going with this car.
basically what i want to know if someone can PM me (it may not be the sort of...
being honest i dont think im going to get anything out them, the legal route looks long winded and expensive. been having problems now for 3 months and its getting to the point where if i dont get anywhere with them after this meeting then i think im forced to trade it in for something else. its...
got a meeting with the general manager on friday morning @ 10am after i told him i was being forced to go down the legal route with this car as it was not fit for the purpose in which i intend to use it!
so far today the general manager couldnt have been any nicer.
service manager was a...
as per my post on the official renaultsport forum...
further update from the dealership today.
they cant find an issue with the brakes, if its pulling to the left then its a characteristic of the car (i find it hard to beleive the motoring press havn't noticed the fact that when you use the...
the better 100 box wont fit, 80 and 65 box physically fit but the ratios are completely wrong for an N/A car and it has no speedo drive so your speedo wont work
Re: Ultra Red 200 ordered.
