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...
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...
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
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 .

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...
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 .
You'll mostly likely struggle getting them out . Try some screw extractors like these .

Failing that . You'll have to drill them out and retap the thread .

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...
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 .
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...
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...
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 ...
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...
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...
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:
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 ...
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...
