Whoa, feel bad for you mate. Similar thing happened to my dads mate. Gutting.

I think it goes... AS long as the garage is VAT registered and uses Renault parts then its ok. Not sure tho, mines never been serviced yet.

Got 17s on my 1.2 16v...no problems so far.

Wolfrace me thinks...

Id settle for Maxs car alarm off of Phoenix Nights... "Get back you ba$tards, Ill break your legs" :D

Could you not claim from your neighbours house insurance? Seems well harsh that you should have to fork out for that.

Got to be the wheels mate... but then you already knew what I thought.

At a guess about £70-£80?

Check the torque after 50miles...they may need a bit of a tightening.

Their official line is anything that does not increase acceleration or top speed. I replaced the standard 15s on my Dynamique with 17s ~ they said that due to the difference in size it was classed as performance enhancing...and wouldnt cover me...So unless you replace whatevers standard on your...

I had the same problem with Morethan. Id gone 6months with them thinking I had full cover inc alloys. It was only when Connor had all this trouble that I rang Morethan and asked em to confirm it in writing that they turned round and said oops, you aint covered. Id done 6 months and if Id had...

I got my new Clio 1.2 Dynamique primarily because of the free insurance for +18...but I also loved the look of the new shaped Clio. Am payin about 8-8.5k on finance. Anyway, in retrospect I think Id go for the 1.4, just for the little extra umph...but Im happy with the 1.2 until I finish uni...

Nice one. Beats having a Micra! ;)

Swap over to tesco, I think Tesco are in some way related to Directline, although Tesco do allow alloys! I was in the exact same situation you were, and its no big deal to swap over...unless youre going to lose alot of no claims youve built up. If youve got a few months left on your policy...

:oops: Doh.

Thanks fellas, loads of advice - cheers! Ill go and give it a go, nip to Halfords and see about some mild scratch remover. I have been told that you should never use T-cut on a car with metallic paint. Is this true?

I think I went wrong by trying to rub it off. I shouldve left it to soak...saying that I wasnt aggressive. Heres a pic of the damage: http://erc.qmuc.ac.uk/cliosport/gallery/full/1081859459__DSC00631.jpghttp://erc.qmuc.ac.uk/cliosport/gallery/full/1081859459__DSC00631.jpg Still think itll...

I noticed yesterday I had a monsterous bird turd on me bonnet, we aint talking your normal bird either, this was Emu proportions. Anyway, I sponged it off last night...went out this morning and the flippin things left a mark & scratches! It is smallish but its noticable (about 80mm...

Exhaust, Induction kit and alloys will be the killers. My 17s added £300 on to my insurance alone.

http://www.carhound.co.uk/http://www.carhound.co.uk/ http://www.motorlogix.com/http://www.motorlogix.com/ Maybe worth a try, theyre similar to Lloyds TSB.

What do you reckon it would look like on a dark silver Dynamique? Would it even be worth doing? Its just I could get one done for nothing...but theyd have to use my existing bonnet as a mold. What ya reckon?

Wigan isnt too bad, although theyre quite small meaning you need to book well in advance. They arend bad for warranty work either, they actually fixed a problem with my windows that Renault Manchester couldnt fix after 2 failed attempts.

BRUN, Ill give them a go...got my first service in a few months. Renault Wigan & Manchester are slightly better than useless.

Nevermind meganes, Ive had the problem with my Clio. Took the muppets @ Renault 3 tries to get it fixed.

Cheers Friction. If that connects2 thing is gonna cost +£50 then like you said, it aint gonna be worth it. Ill just save me £££ for a decent mp3 HU me thinks...any suggestions regarding the stalk etc? Is it only Sony HU compatible with the Reno stalk/displays?

Cheers guys. BlackClio16v - Its one of them Belkin things that you stick into the stereo jack of an mp3 player/cd player etc and it transmits whatevers playing to an fm frequency you can tune your radio into. Tom - Do you know what connecter an aux-in adapter would use on the back of a HU? I...

Hi, Ive got a 20GB MP3 player that I want to listen to whilst in the car. Ive bought one of them FM tuner things (the belkin one) from Ebay and the quality is a bit poo to say the least. I aint got the money to fork out for new HU with MP3 stuff so was wondering is it possible to fit an aux-in...

Connor - Im working on helping you out. So much so I quizzed my current insurer (morethan) about what exactly I am covered for. After about half an hour on the phone and me having to beat it out of them, I found out Im not covered with my 17s!!! They had to go and dust down some manual to...

Connor - Sorry, Ive only just read this thread properly, didnt realise you were asking me to help. Ive had a look to see if I can find the updated policy with the 17 alloys declared - but I cant find it. On reading the T&C of the free insurance it does say that only modifications supplied and...
