Oh they think I've fractured my L2 vertebrae too, but they aren't worried about that as its not displaced, just regular pain killers and top ups of morphine to sort out the pain.

They've got to the bottom of it, just awaiting surgery to have a defibrillator implanted in my chest so that if it was to happen again it will automatically shock my heart back into its proper rhythm. Everything is just taking ages because of emergencies coming in etc.

Cheers mate, need to get out of this damn hospital though!

Should get pics of the car in the next week or two, see what the damage is

Cheers guys. No cars for me for 6 months anyway so time to think of the route to go next.

Righto - Volvo is dead after I had a blackout (possible cardiac arrest) at the wheel and crashed into a telegraph pole and someone's garden. No pics of the car as I never got chance to see it, but it's a cat c. Hoping to buy it back to salvage some parts but we'll see how that pans out...

My guess would be that the subframe either needs removing or at least dropping down a bit. I doubt it'll come out with out that.

Love it, I give the car a once over with the pressure washer to get most of the dirt off. I then foam one side of the car and wash it with a mitt, rinsing regularly in a bucket of clean water. Work our way round the car like that, the I give it another quick foam and wash off with pressure...

Id be taking it back to whoever fitted it.

Do it, do it. Love my Ovlov!!

Quick update. The PCV system decided to give up a few weeks ago, resulting in this noise. My fist thought was belt related, hence the position of the video. All that had blown is a red rubber diaphragm that is part of the oil filter housing, but you can't buy it on its own, so £156 later a...

Not a Clio I know, but it just goes to show him much difference wheels can make. My Ovlov when I bought it, the wheels were called Spartacus and were 17". New wheels fitted, these are 18" and look 1000x better in my opinion.

No, they were called 182 as they were supposed to produce 182ps, which is 179.5bhp. Same with the 172, 197 & 200

Cups were available in a range of colours. All but liquid yellow I think.

Looks good, but I just need to point out you have 'Clio 3 F1' in your car info. This isn't an f1, it's a cup.

If fitted they must work. If not fitted - they aren't tested.

its a 10 minute job to bleed the clutch and no special tools required. I'd be doing it myself to be honest. Oh, and the clutch/brake systems are separate. They only share the reservoir so air in either system won't affect the other.

Ask Renault, they changed it! All I know is that it was changed from 5 to 6 years in about 2008/09.

The late 197's had the revised interval too

6 years on the 200, so it's due in March

Technically the belts aren't due yet, but yes I'd be wanted to get a bit of money off to cover them.

For the sake of a few extra quid I'd be letting them supply the parts. You aren't really saving much are you?

New gearboxes can be picked up for <£600, so it's not a major problem if it goes. It's not a common as is made out either, it's just we only hear about the bad ones.

You'll struggle to find anywhere that will let you supply the parts to be honest. Hours wise, maybe 4 - 5?

Picture of the stereo might help? RCA is the red and white connectors usually found on the back, so I'm not sure what connector you are referring to.

Upgraded to 200mb today. Shame upload isn't increased too it it's better than nothing!

I'd be changing those tyres to be honest. 9 year old tyres won't be all that good anymore! Other than that, nice car!

Why would the oil light come on if the brake fluid was low? Surely that would put the handbrake/ brake warning light on?

Been discussed to death. You will get two answers:- Either A) it's not possible to do it correctly yourself. The ONLY people that can do it are the traders on here. Or B) yes, of course it is possible. As long as you have the correct tools (Renault OE) and the instructions - you'll be fine...
