    How much do Renault charge for can change

    If you go to a reputable garage , like one of the specialists on here who use genuine parts , you'll get a 1 year guarantee on the parts anyway . Just the same as you would if you take it to a Renault garage . The only advantage of taking it to a specialist is they will have done lots of these...

    How much do Renault charge for can change

    I wouldn't trust a Renault dealership ever again . I've just had both my belts , dephaser , water pump etc ..... done at Diamond Motors on Wednesday , bit of a trek , 5 and half hours round trip but well worth it because of Micks knowledge of these cars and no Bullsh1t . The last time Renault...

    Just bought a 172, having doubts!

    If the car is nice, like you said in every other aspect except the belts, get the belts and dephaser done and you'll have a nice car at the end of the day for not much money

    Rear brakes - what to change?

    Swapping the old bleed nipples for stainless ones is well worth doing imo . Also bleed your brakes , new fluid would be a good idea whilst your at it . http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/181576126741?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

    Yet another Yozza Decat thread *what fits?*

    I wouldn't bother mate . I had a proper Yozza decat on my Yozza exhaust . I sold it last year for about £60 after I swapped it back to the Cat for the MOT . The only difference you'll notice is sound , its pretty loud . You won't notice any difference in performance . But if you do insist on...

    Lacquer help

    I don't see any harm in trying a hair dryer for a few seconds on a warm setting , just to evaporate any surface moisture that might be there . It can't really turn out any worse than your first attempt . It's worth a try imo .

    Lacquer help

    I meant moisture trapped under the lacquer, on the colour coat , that won't disappear with heat .

    Yeah they fit both front and rear .

    Broken nipples

    You'll mostly likely struggle getting them out . Try some screw extractors like these . http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/5-PIECE-PCE-DAMGED-SCREW-EXTRACTOR-CASE-BOLT-SCREW-STUD-REMOVER-EASY-OUT-/160832214896?hash=item257258d770 Failing that . You'll have to drill them out and retap the thread . The...

    Brake question..

    Rear brake discs last for a very long time , so do the pads .I've had my 182 for 9 and half years and only changed my original rear discs last September . It's had 3 lots of new discs and pads on the front in all that time , that's covering 58K miles. Rear pads don't have alot of friction...

    Advice on alloys?

    Shame about the dent . Google PDR or paintless dent removal in your area . Typically a PDR guy would charge about £40 a dent , might be a little more for that . You'll only know if you ring one and ask .

    Advice on alloys?

    Your car looks tidy as it mate . I'm not a fan of those alloys either , stick to the oem look .

    Do I chop up my Yozza?

    If you're not happy with the Yozza tips, get some that you are , simple really . It's your exhaust , do it and don't bother what anybody else thinks .

    182 popping exhaust in 2nd gear

    Mine does this with my Yozza when cold . I think it's just a bad join either between the centre section and olive joint on the Cat or the exhaust manifold and Cat , not sure which . Once it's warmed up it stops . I'm assuming that the exhaust expands just that little bit when it's hot and it...

    G3 Clay mitt! Amazing (Few Photos)

    Anything that is easier , quicker and gives the same/better results has got to be a winner for me :smile: I never tried it on my alloys , but i tried it on the glass though and it lifted alot of contaminants off there too . Another very easy good product to try is hyrdo2lite . You might want to...

    G3 Clay mitt! Amazing (Few Photos)

    3 for 2 at Halfords so works out at £8.66 each :smile: Use it like a wash mitt , you don't need to apply any pressure , basically the weight of the sodden clay mitt and your hand is enough pressure ...

    G3 Clay mitt! Amazing (Few Photos)

    Nice to see somebody else who thinks the G3 clay mitt is a good product . So easy to use with fantastic results , so much easier and quicker than using a clay bar . I got slated off the detailing Police on here the other day for saying how good it is lol :wink: . They said it can't possibly give...

    Exhuast mounts help

    Genuine Renault ones or cheapo ones off ebay , they all sag after a while . I got some new ones , put a couple of cable ties through the rubber hanger and around the bracket because the rubber does tend to peel away from the metal after some time. Then I filled in the gaps with high temp...

    removing wax etc

    Ok , you and your chuckling experts . You have your opinion based on " physics " . I have my opinion based on fact . I'm gonna leave it at that . Because like I said previously , CS never changes as the years roll by :tonguewink:

    removing wax etc

    Looks like War n Peace part 2 to me . Like I said , I'm not an expert Chap . I'll ask you a question JD . I would like an honest answer . Have you actually used the clay mitt I posted a link to ? And I most definitely don't claim to be an expert in anything . I can only give my honest ...

    removing wax etc

    I must be talking out of my ring piece then or it's just a figment of my imagination . I can only go off my experience . The car IS tar free , free of any other contaminants too, just as it would be if I'd used a clay bar . And it most definitely hasn't suffered any marring. Where did I even...
