Yeah , why would they after fitting Recaros ? :S

In my opinion it's a better clamp the the original Renault one , it's alot thicker and stronger . On your Decat or Cat , both should have the same " Olive joint " , that's just a thick round part on the end Cat , it sits inside the centre section which is flared . The clamp fits over both the...

That's not mine in the pic , it's one I've stolen . But yeah , that's the correct fitting kit . I don't think it's fitted right though , having looked at the pic closer . The dimpled washer should be between the spring and decat flange . If you do a bit of a search on here you'll see some...

Like i said before , the mesh gasket is quite big . The 2 flanges , one on the manifold and the one on the decat or Cat don't meet up when you bolt them together . There is always quite a large gap , that's how it's designed , probably to allow some slight movement . You can actually see the...

Does it look like the bonnets bent , is there any physical evidence ? There are 2 round black rubber stops , one on either side , just behind the headlight as you can see in the pic . These can be screwed up or down to help the bonnet sit better . It might be worth trying that .

Well if the one you bought off ebay is the one for the passenger side you'd be better off getting the drivers side from Adam and replacing both now you've got it .

Handbrake cables are sided , one is longer than the other. Sounds like they might have sent you the wrong side ? You'd have been better off messaging Adam from Renault Wolverhampton on here . You won't find any cheaper and delivery is usually very quick ...

The mesh gasket is quite thick , make sure you've put it in the right way round , it's slightly curved so it sits inside the Cat or Decat pipe , whichever you're using . This is the manifold to Cat kit from Renault . It's a bad design , the olive joint , lots of people have the same problem were...

I have these Bosch Superplus on the front £12.12 delivered . They work perfectly well , they wipe , so can't complain . http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/190818627307?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

No need to sand the colour coat , 2 or 3 colour coats should be enough , just lacquer it a few hours later after the final colour coat.

I'd use a fine wet n dry , something like an 800 grit or even 1200 , especially if the primed surface is already quite smooth .

Yeah , sand the primer then wipe down with some IPA ( isopropyl alcohol ) or panel wipe making sure the surface is clean and grease free .

At idle when the engines warm it should be 800rpm + or - 50 .

How can it be sat " pumping " dirty oil round the engine ? :S I'd still go with a car on 19k and minimal service opposed to one that that's done 119k with a shed load of service history . If the price is right , get a " Full service " with both belts , spark plugs etc ..... sorted :D And we've...

Autopaints in St. Helens are supposed to be very good by all accounts from what I've read on here for making Anthracite Ixell 205 110 paint . http://auto-paint.co.uk/carpaint/

Personally , if i was looking for a 2nd hand car I'd rather have one that's done 19k opposed to one that's done 119k . So it might have only had one or maybe two services , not 10 and 2 belt changes . Does that make it a bad car ? Imo , no . It basically hasn't even done enough miles to be...

From my own personal experience , when i decatted my Yozza the emissions light came on after a couple of days , i reset it with my code reader and it never came back on again in the next 12 months . You can reset it or leave it , either way , it doesn't affect the performance of the car .

Bought my 182 New in February 2006 , with 8 miles on the clock . Now on 49k .

I'm not sure which ones are the correct ones . You'd have to measure the original ones . Bigg red also sell them . It seems to be the place most people buy their stuff from for refurbishing their calipers . http://www.biggred.co.uk/onlinestore.php

I didn't have a problem downloading the update , I'm on 3 though , not vodaphone . But since my update about 6 weeks ago I've lost the t9 keyboard , i hate any qwerty keyboard on my phone cos i have big fingers , plus i don't get any notifications of texts anymore either sounds or the blue led...

As others have said , those discs are cream crackered . The thing that would concern me is , the inside face of the disc is so rusty as in the pic yet you say the outside face of the disc looks normal and the pads have plenty of meat left on them . It looks like your caliper might be a bit...

I'm not 100% certain my answer is correct . But I'm pretty sure I've read about this problem before and it was something about the rocker switch for the cruise / speed limiter being faulty . If you do a search maybe you'll be able to find out more info . There are always people selling things...

The colour match looks pretty poor to be honest , unless it's just the pic . You need to build the paint up so it stands proud of the chip . If it's only a small chip or scratch you don't need any lacquer . I've just done quite a big chip which was down to the primer on the top of my passenger...

I like that alot . Love the Tail pipes :D

Yeah that will be ok . I bought one like that off ebay for my 182 and it's been fine for the past couple of years .

Like ya say , you obviously use alot more water using my method , so it does run off the car alot quicker , but you can see if taking the dirt with it as it drips off . Tbh , i've only ever used snow foam a few times . I have a 5 litre bottle minus a few capfulls somewhere knocking about in my...

That's just with a weak dilution of shampoo and water , 25 litres and a couple of cap fulls of shampoo , compared to alot stronger mix you guys use with a snow foam lance . In reality , is having an inch thick layer of foam on your car any better than the method i use ? At the end of the day...

Really ? Mine has plenty of power , good enough for cleaning moss etc off patios and is perfect for prewashing the car and high power foam . I've used this method for years and it's always shifted even the most stubborn caked on dirt .

If you don't want to shell out 40 quid for a foam lance , then do what i do . Get yourself a 25 litre home brew fermenting bucket ( approx 12 quid from a homebrew shop) , a length of hose into the bucket , fill up with warm water and snow foam / shampoo of your choice and you have lots and lots...

There is a huge post about the recall fix if you do a search . A letter was sent out in early 2013 to all MK2 Clio owners offering either a free check and free fix for those that were never done in the original recall back circa 2008 / 9 , other letters stated they would be checked and if any...
