Anyone been having any trouble phoning these lately? I've been trying to call them this afternoon only to get a voice message saying I'm dialling an incorrect number! I'm using the 01277 263 030 number. 118 says that Greenlight insurance don't exist at their address! (shock).

How the **** has this happened! This is a Prospeed custom exhaust btw. I had previously bodged the usual dodgy exhaust mount with some (what I thought was) stiff hose. Seems it has broken through the very rear rubber mount as well and is now hanging down badly, as well as making...

I know exhaust mounts are checked for the MOT as I read it on a garage wall the other day! My rear one has sagged due to the crap rubber bit that suspends it at the back and the tailpipes (twin Prospeed jobby) sit about an inch lower than it used to under the cutout of the rear bumper...

Mine's leaking :( (52 plate 172 with A/C) It's not leaking much, maybe losing a centimetre or so of fluid from the reservoir every time I drive it (only seems to leak after being driven then stops). Just been topping it up with water for the last couple of days. I've been told by the local...

My neighbour's been eyeing up mine that I bought from Serious Performance a while ago - Dark yellow'y colour with a waffle pattern and black trim round the edge. Said I'd have a look see how much they are now but can't seem to track the same type down. Is SP's 'AG Ultra Microfibre Chamois'...

I'm thinking of changing the crossover locations. I want to put them in the compartment at the bottom of the door card so I can fiddle about with the multiple attenuation settings without having to take the door cards on/off all the time. This would give me nice easy access and keep the...

Just fitted a new JVC but I never got a metal cage to fit it with, and there was none in the standard stereo obviously. Should I have got one in the new HU? Anyway I can secure it in withough buying a cage?

Just about to buy a JVC head-unit and have been slightly worried that I won't have my volume controls on the steering wheel as I'd really like to keep them if possible. Autoleads catalogue has a couple of interfaces you can put together, for JVC and 98>Clios, that claim to work the volume and...

Could someone explain to me how it works as it's the first time I've had points due to come off. My renewal is up for the start of June (1/6/06) with Greenlight. I have got 3 more points than my renewal last year, but also have 4 coming off at the end of July, which is 3 years since getting...

Going to upgrade my comps to either Focal or Rainbow soon. Both get highly recommended on here but which would you choose out of the similarly priced sets for each? Rainbow SLX230 Deluxe or Focal-Polyglass-130V1 Any specific sound differences/tendencies. I will be mainly listening to...

Does the aux belt get changed at the same time, or are they seperate jobs? Reason I ask is I'm at my 36k service soon and read on here that it's best to change the aux belt with the 36k service. But next year when I get to the 48k service, the car will be 5 years old so will need the cam belt...

Just rang up my local Sutton Park Renault for a price on the 36k service for a 172 (with a/c). £237 - Not too bad I thought. Asked whether it included the aux belt change and got the usual guff about it not being done until 72k, even when I told her it's in the manual to be done at 36k...

I've been thinking of sound deadening my boot floor to cut out the low bass drone of my exhaust (for music listening purposes) and have noticed a few competitors to Dynamat on eBay. Are these products, such as eDead/Fatmat/RBLOX/Brown Bread, as good as Dynamat or are they all much of a...

A mate has some front comps but never got round to fitting the tweeters, just the in-door mids. He must've had them in for a good year now. I said that it could damage the mid speaker and decrease sound quality, he says not. Who's right? P.S. It sounds ok, if a little 'distant', if you get me.

Just changed my sidelights back to white for the MOT on thursday (wouldn't let me get away with blue ones). Whilst doing the drivers side I thought it looked a slightly different unit and ended up undoing the back of the xenon block by mistake (the one you 1/4 twist). I realised it was the...

I'm having a twin 3.5" slash cut done at Prospeed this Wednesday and I've decided I want it cut into the bumper instead of hanging really low underneath like the Magnex's. I've photoshopped 4 similar cut-outs but can't 100% decide which one to go for. So I need you to help me make my mind up...

Just realised my MOT was due end of October as it is 3 years old now (52 plate) and need to get it done asap. However, I'm wondering if my having a cat back exhaust system next Wednesday will have any effect on the emissions test. Would it make any difference having the MOT done before or...

Thought it was about time I got some pics up of my FK coilovers as they've been on a few weeks now. I fitted them myself with advice from Fred, Loony and others so cheers lads. Also had the wheels laser aligned last week and it drives and handles really nice. Though I am going to go down a...

Does it have a 3.5mm AUX in, or anything that I can plug my headphone cable from my mobile into, so I can play music from my phone through the speakers? I'd have a look but not got any bits of wire to get it out at the mo.

Calling Loony/Fred here! Finally got my front bits through from Ktec at the start of the week and had a go at fitting them yesterday as I had the day off. I fitted one side but it doesn't seem right to me. I held the new shock up through the bonnet and spun the top cap on a bit to hold it...

Okay, got my rear springs, shocks and adjusters through from K-Tec this morning and want to be 100% sure of how the springs and adjusters sit before I start, as its the first time Ive ever fitted something like this and dont want to fudge it. This is what I have...

Just cancelled my order with K-Tec for a set of these as I found a company called http://www.venommotorsport.com/index.htmlVenom Motorsport who were selling them at that price. My order with K-Tec was £541.97 with the ClioSport 5% discount so it works out at £56 cheaper than K-Tec for...

Just done my fronts earlier on today and thought Id do the rears at the same time but the caliper looks much more fiddly to do. Anyone have a guide? I can undo the top of the two 17mm boltson the side of the caliper but the bottom one seems inaccessible to either a spanner or a socket due to...

Thinking about the 60mm Apex kit. Would this drop be ok without worrying the arches? Would it scrape/bottom out with other people in the car (Trip to the footie - 2 in front, 1 in back)? Will the ride be any different than my current Apex 40mm springs on standard shocks or the same? Oh and...

After having my car lowered a fortnight ago, I noticed in the last day or so a loud clunking coming from the right rear going over large bumps and speed humps. Had a quick look underneath this morning and the shock is leaking. Kin ell! Rang Renault and they told me it is 100% customer and...

Id like something a bit more hard-wearing and abrasive than my wool wash mitt for bringing off those bugs/bits on my front bumper and bonnet as I need to rub really hard but without much joy with a wool mitt. I often have really stubborn bits left after cleaning, even using some tar/bug spray...

Lowered my car on Apex 40mm springs on Sunday, and now its clean Ive took some pics of it with my phone. Crappy quality but you get the gist. It looks much better in higher resolution reality! It has gone from this: http://www.haznick.f2s.com/pics/cleansidezoom.jpg...

AAAAAGGGGHHHHH!!!! I was just taking the wheel centre cover off my alloys to get at the nuts and as it came off it slipped out of my hand and straight down the drain which was right next to my front wheel!! It floated there teasingly for a second or two but then descended slowly into the...

Okay, Ive had my amp for a couple of months now and really need to get it fitted instead of keep putting it off! Im going to leave the original HU in as I want the steering controls and the multi-changer as it is. The amp is a...
