It was in the bin! I spilt a small amount of oil before I could get the bucket under so I used some rags to quickly mop it up while it was draining. It seems I scooped it up with the rag and chucked it in the wheelie bin :D Car now sorted. /adds to list of things not to do again

hmmm halfords dont have one and he cant even order one "it just doesnt come up" apparently. mine's a 172 exclusive, but that shouldn't make much difference right? (still can't find it! - even my Mrs has looked and if she says it isn't there, it isn't there. No not on the rachet!)

I'm in the middle of an oil change and yes, my sump plug seems to have vanished into thin air. No, it's not in the bucket. It's not in the weeds either, and it's not amongst the stones near the side wall. :( So, lets just say I can't find it, where do I get a replacement from?! Renault...

Thanks to Andy (sophiesdad) and his colleagues at RSport for sorting out my motor once and for all - she's back and driving like new thanks to you and I'm very, very grateful. I'd been having all sorts of problems with RENAULT WIMBLEDON ACCIDENT AND REPAIR CENTRE (known from here on as The...

Renault Wimbledon Accident & Repair Centre today... "Can I be honest with you? We have never had this sort of problem before, your car is jinxed Sir and you should sell it." :D Big thanks to Andy @ RSport for helping me out and for agreeing to do the job properly! I wouldn't go back to...

cheers for the pointers guys, guess it's time to get the overalls on! I don't think it's a major leak but having to top up every couple of months because it's making an audiable noise seems to indicate a problem somewhere. I shall investigate! Thanks again, much appreciated.

Hi guys Well, the wing-mirror was all sorted but I seem to have identified another small problem now... There was a strange noise coming from the steering/wheels whenever I was on full lock and the engine was cold. I decided to check the power-steering fluid level and it seemed low so I...

.... anyone interested? I grabbed them a while ago and they came through this week, but I'm now moving house and wont be able to make it as I have LOADS to do. They are for the whole weekend (sat + sun) and the event is being held at Silverstone. If anyone wants them just drop me a line and...

Well, she's gone to the local Renault dealers who will sort the whole lot out for me and deliver the car back within 48 hours, all for £100, so about right then and I don't have to bother with anything. They even gave me a lift down to the local train station so I could get home again haha...

:dapprove: woke up this morning to find the drivers wingmirror hanging off - someone must have hit overnight. The plastic surround is still in one piece but whatever holds everything in place has broken and it's left hanging there. I'm based in Surrey - anyone know a decent dealer? Anyone...

So I picked up my 172 last week and took it for a spin to Wales at the weekend as I was visiting my girlfriend. I had just picked her up and we're driving along when I noticed a terrible grinding noise coming from the rear offside wheel. Pulled over and a quick inspection confirmed that I was...

(click for larger view) and here is the beauty herself! She needs a proper clean so off to the shops for some Zymol stuff tomorrow. I managed to wangle the day off so I can spend some quality time with the new baby :D

Excited? Like a kid at Christmas! was incredibly impressed by the speed and handling, can't wait to be behind the wheel again. Roll on tomorrow night.... (now, if I can just keep my license for long enough to enjoy it... road angel plus is the next buy me thinks!)

Just thought I'd say hello now as you will all no doubt have to put up with some of my silly questions over time ;) Picking up No.99 tomorrow, (172 exclusive), she's lovely and I cannot wait to get behind the wheel! :)
