i believe this aswell. those problems dont really happen much and a cup is probably only better when at the limit neway. it may go around a corner at a few mph more but thats about it, that is my assumed opinion, i have never driven a cup so my point is invalid on this forum. from my view the...

check the fuse mate, i shorted mine when i was changing the colour of the dash, stuck a screwdriver in without unplugging :o. s**t maself as the car wouldnt start and the doors wouldnt lock, turned out to be the fuse.

at the risk of sounding dumb, what are cornering headlights. are they the ones where the lights turn with the wheel.

i think the 1.2 16v has 75hp and top speed of around 100.

was gonna say, that does look quite tasty

no worries mate, its when they know that people dont know much about mechanics, thats when they try and take the p*ss. but atleast ur challenging it. there was a thread on here not long ago where some lass had her cambelt fail and the total cost was around £1700+. now everyone on here said nooo...

stick a traffic cone on the front, should balance it out a bit :rasp:

it will be cheaper to buy a 1.6 clio and sell your 1.2.

inner driveshaft boot - £6.11 brand new http://www.eurocarparts.com/ecp/k/cv/p/Car-Parts number plate loom - £35 brand new http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Renault-Clio-2-number-plate-lamp-loom-repair-section_W0QQitemZ370308588503QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM?hash=item56381ca3d7...

y excluding the air filter buddy. you got an aftermarket on. fan belt - £10 tops spark plugs -£30 tops pollen filter - £10 oil - £40 unless uve got some already injectors cleaned - £10 woth of vpower or halfords shyt (redex) tyres - £140 top of the line in your size

for the cost in petrol for travelling its worth taking it to birchdown as you will save alot of money/hassel than if you took it to a dealer or someone who hasnt worked with the car.

over time when tires lose a bit of pressure, whats the nitrogen like for this. lose the same amount of pressur still or does it not 'escape' as quickly.

the ktec website says that their carbon fibre vented bonnet is only 6kg lighter than the original, is that real carbon fibre. because if it is, the ali bonnet must only be between 2-5kg lighter then. not much.

get it wrapped in carbon fibre vinyl. will make it even lighter lol ;)

im pretty sure mine does it randomly tho, cuz sumtyms it locks str8 away without fuss but sometimes it beeps when i have walked away and press it. weird.

but whats a disaster, its the same colour as the rest of the car, it hasnt flaked, it doesnt look like orange peel and the guy who did it has been doing it for over 15years, did it in a proper spray booth, oven etc in a working bodyshop but just for cheap because he owed a favour.

yes but like you said. £400 for materials, so therefore whats left if you took that to a bodyshop is just labour. £600 wort of labour is a heck of a lot of someones time. a £1000 respray is cheap. im not saying it isnt, im just saying, it doesnt mean its gonna be shyt.

its bob on mate, no need for pics. a year on and still bob on. y people cant believe that good jobs can be done for cheap is unreal. its like going to renault for a cambelt change, you wouldnt do it. y. because its cheaper somewhere else for the same job, like i said, aslong as it isnt some...

i would get them 2 explain exactly what it is that has failed and if it turns out to be the inner boot and its still £149 tell them to get f***ed.

see i dont get the 3rd gear crunch, i get that in 2nd at high revs but 3rd feels like a dream :)

£6.11 http://www.eurocarparts.com/ecp/k/cv/p/Car-Parts tell them they are taking the piss buddy, they will drop the price

when people say all these quotes of 2k +. y, what sort of prep work is needed, not every car has crazy panel damage on every bit of the car. most cars will have a few stonechips which is not time consuming to a professional. so that just leaves rubbing down, masking up and spraying. and when...

hang on so your even considering paying £300, your off your box mate, number plate lamp/loom and driveshaft boot is only going to be at most £50. then emissions, probably lamba sensor £60-£70. welding exhaust just costs labour. way overpriced. the only way its that price is if its the cat but if...

the only thing with a vinyl wap is you wont cover all the coloured paint when you open doors etc unless you start takin doors off etc, ive been looking at my clio and like i say, to cover the entire door shut i.e. where the door hinges, then the door will have to come off. same with tailgate. im...

tbh, trying to mould it to the 1.2 bumper is more work than just modifying the sport bumper. if your a member theres a guide in the guides section which shows you how to do it, just need to do a bit of sanding and mix a bit of fibreglass. work a treat looking at the photos in the guide. plus if...

what sort of mpg are you getting, the fuel usage of the 182 cant be much more than the 1.6 surely.

i dont even think renault trust it, thats y they cut it off when it says around 30miles left.

yep its a joke, and its not just that, a range rover that is maybe +£400 tax for the year may do 1000miles. wheres a little clio thats £35 may do 15000+ miles. so doing it on emissions is a joke. i think the tax across the entire board should be the same and just do it on petrol. obviously the...

so which are better for handling, pro or sport.

i too almost had this same event happen to me, diesel on the trainer, not good. u wee just unfortunate i think.
