I was recommended Proclean by a guy who did a repair on my seat .

A couple of others around the north west . Don't know the quality of their work though .

The recommended interval for changing the air filter is 24,000 miles . Personally i'd change every 12,000 miles as part of the service , or better still buy one yourself or an itg panel filter and change it yourself . Only 2 mins of a job .
So how much are they charging you for the plugs Bobbo without the labour costs ?
Might be better off supplying the plugs yourself , save you a few quid .I think they are takin' the piss with the ordering from France bit , lol . They probably get em delivered from a local motor factor .
Your still under warranty , take it in to the dealership . Don't bother messing about with reconditioned calipers , whats the point of shelling out good money on a car so new that " should " be fixed for free . If they try and charge you , or your not happy phone Renault UK .
Tel . 08000...
Somebody needs to snap that up at that price . I was struggling in February to find a new 182 with cup packs , phoned loads of places all over the UK , finally found one about 15 mins from me , lol . Price on the road was £12,227
Think he's avin a laff if he expects £14,500
Old at 31 , lol , i don't think so ;) I guess your location will have brought the price down a fair bit . Get some more info on who ya got the quote off please .
Not sure , i think they do but they look like a right b**ch to get off , thats if they don't crack .
Don't know what you have , if its a 172 cup you won't need the abs rings anyway .
IIRC somebody posted that a pair of bearings are about £60 , correct me if somebody knows better .
If...
Don't forget you will need new wheel bearings in the rears and abs rings fitted unless you have a 172 cup .
I can't see any bearings or rings on the pics ,i 'd e mail the seller and ask if they come complete with bearings and abs rings if i were you .
Good cars if you get a good un , get a bad un and you could be throwin away plenty of cash :(
Quite a few on here .

Was close to gettin a valver a few years ago , couldn't find a good un anywhere , travelled all over the place .
I must admit , still think that the Williams has that wow factor , very nice cars :)
Think i'll stick with my 1.2 that looks like a 182 , lol ;)
There ya go mate , it doesn't always have to be quite up to the performance of the RS clios to have fun . Theres plenty of other good cars out there like your old golf . Just comes a time when you have to get rid and get something newer .
^^^^ What a good idea . Because it always seems to rear its ugly head frequently . I normally try to steer clear of these kind of threads myself , but seems i got drawn into this one :eek:
Exactly the reason i bought the 172 and 182 new , a 3 year warranty , after a certain age a car can start to become a bottomless pit , throwing good money after bad just to keep it on the road . Just cos i had a few quid knocking about doesn't mean to say i should throw it away on an older more...
I don't think it was me , might have been , i could have been in a daydream , dreaming of the day when i own a 182 and get rid of this shitty little 1.2 ,lol ;)
I've only seen 1 172 cup in Darwen , that was late last year at the bottom of Hollins grove St when i still had the silver 172 ...
Fcuk me i've met some clowns in my time but you take the Big Red Nose for being King Clown :clown:
1. The head gasket and clutch were on the way out , would have cost more than the car was worth .
2. Because i happened to have alot of spare cash just doin' nothing in my bank account ;)
Figures mean jack s**t to me mate . Its on the road that counts , and imho , the 306 S16 is more than a match for a clio 172 / 182 , i've owned all 3 mate , you know what i'm sayin ;)
And don't forget , the S16'S are around 12 years old now , so 155bhp was quite a powerful car then , as it is...
Well having owned a 306 S16 , a mk2 172 and now a 182 at least i am in the position to make this statement . And unless my eyes deceived me i couldn't pull away from the 306 S16 .
What year was the 306 ? New or old shape . I had a 306 S16 155bhp a few years ago , standard apart from lower springs and it pulled like a train , with the wider track and longer wheel base , could out handle a 172 imo .
I also had a little run in with a 306 S16 a couple of months ago on the...
Re: Brake discs are f**ked
Glad to see you got the problem sorted out under the warranty and that Renault have acknowledged that there is a problem with some of the brakes , quite a few people have reported on here that their brakes weren't performing as they should . Could be a big help to...
You'll be ok to mix it mate . 4.75 litres without the oil filter change . Its a sod to get at so remove the fuel rail cover to gain better access , 2 x 10mm bolts .
