Hi Just drove the car for a bout 18miles or so and notice that the temp gauge was moving up and down ever so slightly. It usually stays at half way but was dropping down nearly one bar when doing slow speeds. This just the cold weather we been having? Cheers

Hey Im hopefully starting a new job next year which involes a 60 odd mile trip every day. so i was half temped to trade the 182 in and get a new diesel but i really dont want to coz i love my car. so im now feeling it might be better just to get a 1.2 mk1 clio just for the commute and keep my...

Hey ive done a search but can really find what im looking for. When the car is warmed up theres a rattley tinny noise as if the a heatshield is loose. Renault told me that it was the rear mounts were worn and making the rattle. they were droopy anyway so i changed that and no difference. my dad...

Ok my car feels like its falling apart at the moment!!:S Ive had a rattle on my exhaust for a few weeks now, only when on idle. i had a new centre box fitted by renault last november so obviously i took it back to them.

Just a quick one, when i stop sometimes quite quickly the engine seems to drop revs for a split second (the needle on the rev counter doesn't move though). the same sort of thing as when you stood still and turn the steering wheel, i always thort this was coz your putting more load on the...

I am getting a machine polisher after christmas. Been looking at the megs G2220. Everytime i mention it to some one they all say the same thing 'Oooo that'l strip the paint off!!!'. Ive only got light swirls but their all over the car. I know they remove paint coz you wouldn't get rid of the...

Hi Had my car for like 6months now and since ive had it its made a strange noise at around 2500rpm. when you drive past a close wall with the window open its really load. its almost like a rattling, pinging noise in the exhaust. if you drive slowly it comes then goes about 3000rpm but if you gun...

Hey i been looking on here bout machine polishing and that it can take out swirl marks. i mentioned this to a mate at work who said he got given one as a present and never used it and said i could have a go with it. my car doesn't have bad swirl marks so would i get away with just using auto...
