^^^^ Love the don't be scared bit , lol . Get yourself a good drill and a couple of sharp drill bits or you'll be drilling all day . Put a block of wood under the pedals so you can get a good amount of pressure on the drill .
If its just one of the covers that goes on the back of the unit i'd just pop it back on and leave it . As said above . They are not sealed and only there to stop dirt getting in .
As you've experienced before dealerships are very helpful and love to bend over backwards to keep a happy smile...
I don't know about the alternator being on its way out causing the lights to flicker , but its a common trait on the Clio that the lights come on especially when going round a sweeping bend indicating either just low brake fluid level or worn pads causing the fluid level to be low .
Just had a letter from the local stealers today offering me a test drive in one .Don't think i'll bother as i just don't like how they look , they just don't stand out from the crowd , and i don't like the shape of them .
So i'd say NO dont buy one ,stick with your 172 or get a 182 or a...
Tbh i heard cobra weren't that good . I've seen people who have had problems with the standard fitted cobra alarm . The toad also works off the original renault key fob .
If its just a bit patchy , like some of its not as shiny as the rest scratch x alone might bring it up . If it doesn't then try wet sanding then scratch x .
AG's only very mildly abrasive , if you wet sand you'll need scratch X .Even if you don't wet sand i'd use scratch x , always useful to have some to hand for minor scratches on your car .
Leave it for a week so the lacquers fully gone off , then if your not happy with the finish wet sand it with some 2000 grit wet n dry paper , then polish it with some meguiars scratch X and it will come up nice and shiny .
If its not insurance approved , cat 1 , then its a not approved for a reason , imo must be crap . Your insurance premium will usually be less with a cat 1 alarm fitted so thats whta i'd always go for .
I have a Toad 850T , linked into the factory fitted immobiliser .Second time i've had one...
I wouldn't change , but thats just my opinion . I much prefer the looks of the 182 . Sell private if you can . Similar age , mileage etc ...as yours on autotrader are going for anywhere between £9250 - £10,000 so the dealership is ripping you off big time :eek...
You want fully synthetic 5w-40 oil . Yeah it is possible to change the air filter yourself , but its a bit fiddly . Easier if you remeove the fuel guard protector which is 2 x 10mm bolts shown on the pic .Its 5.1 litres if you change the oil filter and 4.75litres if you don't change the oil...
You could try on here . I'm 100% sure but i think we might get a club discount . If you can't find the pads for your car give em a ring .
