^^^ You wet sanded the paint ? You don't need to wet sand the colour coat , only if you have some runs or imperfections . Just lacquer over the colour coat .

Rich . Will you be told , All purpose cleaner , lol . I used AG engine and machine cleaner when my cv boot split . Shifted the grease no problem ;)

Code for your key is on the 2nd page of your service book ?? :S

Off the top of my head i think the originals are only 420 amps . They are a bit of an odd bod size , quite small . I replaced the one on my 172 with a varta one , 3 years warranty , cost about £38 from a local motor factors .

^^^ Best bet really . I had a seized rear caliper , the adjuster screw had rusted inside . I stripped it down , sanded the rust off and greased it but it was a ballache of a job tbh . The caliper works fine now .

Lie the wheel down when your spraying it and either spin the wheel or if you can work round the wheel spray it that way to get at the spokes . Tbh tho' mate , black wheels can look shite if you don't maintain your tyres on a regular basis . Poorboys bold n bright for your tyres ...

^^^ If they are only chips or small scratches just polish with something like Meguiars scratch X or Carlack68 by hand .

Haha , ok ;) Thanks for the young un bit :quiet:

I don't like the touch up paint from Renault , it seems slightly too thick . I prefer to get an aerosol mixed up , spray a little bit into the the lid and fill the chip with a c0cktail stick then wet sand . http://www.guidetodetailing.com/articles.php?articleId=27

You'll need it fitted by a Toad approved fitter for the thatcham cat 1 to be recognised .Other than that i've heard they are good alarms .

My reply was actually tongue in cheek old fella ;) It was more of a dig at the subject of the thread as some people on here think the 1*2's are invincible lol .

No problem . Warranty not needed then ;)

Race him mate then you'll have the answer to your question . Clio 172 vs. Audi S3...in the bends? Then we might also see a new post . " Just wrote off my 172 , breaking for spares " ;) What a pointless thread :quiet:

Are you sure you haven't deactivated the auto lights ? Put your key in the ignition , turn to the first position then turn your sidelights on / off / on / off quickly . You should hear a beep when they are activated / deactivated .

I've used a flexi blade for years with no problems . As long as the car and blade are spotlessly clean you shouldn't have a problem . Saves hell of alot of time drying the car :)

It's not a wash n wax as the name suggests ,lol . Try it mate . Its the best stuff i've found , not too many suds but very slick . http://www.chemicalguysuk.com/product_p/extrwash16.htm

^^^ Duragloss is alright , nothing special imo and no better than the CG extreme wash and wax .

Looking at that pic , it's barely touched the tyre . I'd still use it if it was mine . I've just had a tyre repaired that ATS said couldn't be repaired . Was about 40mm in from the tyre wall . They wanted £149 for a new Exalto fitted :eek: i just laughed and said no thanks lol . My friendly...

The CG blue rim and wheel cleaner is very good stuff imo . I either use that or fairy power spray ;)

I've never had a problem with it tbh . Maybe your putting a bit too much in ?? Personally i prefer the CG extreme wash and wax .

Like the man says , it's titanium silver 647 . Heres where to find it .Thats mine J41 .

Like the man says . There are different sizes/lengths for different cc engines .

They don't sell 74mm . Get 76mm .

Its should display the word " code " if it needs the code entering .

You want some of this CAF . Its very strong and won't crush . http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/3-76MM-ID-COLD-AIR-FEED-INDUCTION-DUCTING-1-METRE_W0QQitemZ300220287585QQcmdZViewItem Also their website . http://www.venairsport.co.uk/index.php?cPath=49 I think they are a member on CS .

You need something with more bite than the foam applicators . Use a folded terry towel and work the scratch x until there is nothing left .

Welcome to CS . Enjoy the site :)

Sounds normal to me . They all idle rough , at around 700rpm +/- 50

It would have been a bargain at that price , but tbh i would never pay that sort of money for something on ebay cos there are too many dodgy people and scammers about using the site nowadays . I'd stick it on a dedicated car selling website like autotrader or pistonheads .
