Not bad but thats cheap oil. I pay more and DIY it but I use expensive oil.

Bad material batches usually. A wghich back (the cars themselves are about 3~4 years old now) a manurfacturer of spring for Mercedes/Renault etc had a problem with foreign objects getting into the molten metal and after a while a load of them snapped due to this impurtity in the coil material.

Nope easy to do it the guide should have given you a clue.

Get rid of the 5.1 its not needed you need to bleed 5.1 all the time otherwise it rusts the brakes as its hydrosopic.

Check the pads have been installed correctly also there no dirt etc stuck in the pads.

Yep thats mine. Nope I just do a fair few mile and live out in the country. Only problems having a car that dirty is that when ou clean it you see the scratches i though an inch of mud would protect it also I cannot get the wheels caln now seems the brake pads have got stuck into the wheels.

None of these look dirty. Mine not a 172 though. http://nfsgb.nd4spdworld.com/gb2/new/Image116.jpg http://nfsgb.nd4spdworld.com/gb2/new/Image117.jpg

I'll get a picture tomorrow for you.

You can remove the subframe whats it stuck on? You don't need to take the box off i think you cna move the box with it i place loads of space on the 1.2's compaired to the 172's. Get a Haynes manaul or PM me your emails address I think I've got a file to help you.

Please add to the list I need to find some more but posting up might help me or other put number down. Complains about companies should be linked please don't turn this into a complains/raves about companies thread. Dave Appleby (project254 on the forum but doesn't seem to visit much) : 07768...

After a year or so agao looking into insurance companies who like modified cars I though I should post the list up. I had no end of trouble insuring a car with a roll cage. WHilst not all of these will cover cages they are popular companies with young people wor ones with high insurance group...

Re: Exhaust just feel off Just needed a quick edit mines still fine (saying that it will fall of next week most likly).

Kit car.

A said go to a 172 forget the other engine for the effort. 172 conversion you an get for £1.5k+vat from Matt 01254 386661. Then your might as well change the ball joints/wishbones/top mounts/clutch/cambelt etc so say another £300 in new bits. Then fitment depends on the car your got but say 1...

Matt can get hold of new boxes but since he works at a breakers yard he has more used ones from broken cars. His user name is Matt Black on here but ring him instead as he gets to many Pm's 01254 386661 is his number and ask for Matt as there a few people who work there.

Re: Exhaust just feel off SHap about you cna pick up exhaust stsrem from copy cat places fo £90 if your carul or look on ebay you can pick them up sometimes.

I'd get the car rechecked ta another garage I've yet to find a Renault dealership who can do alligment checks properly.

Cheaper as its a smaller engine. More like 4 hours labour to do it.

£120 is a bargin its over 5 hours work to do assuming you do it correctly and change all the tensioners.

Wiring loom is warently (assuming your car is under warently otherwise you'll have to see if you can get a % payment from Reault goodwill). Spark plugs since your cars not a 172 are only check £15 or so from halfords etc the 172/182 ones are expensive ones. Why do you need a remap if the...

Yep you'll need 5mm spacers for the real wheels though most probably to stop it catching.

Better handling although with gae they can need new dampers etc. Engine wise its got more low end power and a bit more top end its better though as no need to rev it to death.

There changed along with the belt at the 36k service.

A good Williams is very reliable mine was just as reliable as my new car never failed to start. MX5?

If it fails it likes to take the cambelt with it which is expensive. Sounds more like a vibration issue to me somehting resonating I'd check all the bolts are tight and check for the idles on the AUX belt see if they look wrong.

Mine is a 2002 reg 52 plate one this was 6 month ago ad it was done. Get the Renault dealership to ring Renault Uk and explain to them they will autorise the chnaging under warenlty. Trim is covered for 1 wear but sine if its fails as quick as they do then its not fit for purpose so is covered...

Only cheap I forgte how much but Halfords one fit I belive and there only £10 or so. Only thing is you'd loose the zeon wash unless you make the pipes up.

Different compound on the ones I've checked as well but much the same Halfords own are going to be longer life ones but not as good for faster road driving where you'll get a lot of heat into them. Oms had a set on his 182 and they were fine round town etc but on the back roads they faded very...

Depends where you go cltch places usually want about £250 labour and £50 for a clutch but thats cash in hand as the F engines take ages to do. A proper job with VAt you'd be looking at £380 I'd think. If you ask about though you can find places usually Renault ex or current employees who've...

Ferodo own FDB 845 ones.
