    if when someone brings in a car to have a problem diagnosed/fixed which requires the car to be driven, the garage should ask you permission before they drive it or at least tell you that they need to drive it? Cheers Paul

    Brake Light Bulb Replacment

    My right rear brake light bulb appears to have gone. Are they easy to replace yourself? If so, do I need to get the bulb from Renault or will the local halfords be likely to have them? Any advice would be much appreciated.

    Cypriot Imports

    My brother is buying a 172 from trade-sales and it turns out its a cypriot import, therefore sourced from outside the eu and hence not subject to the 3 years manufacturers warranty. Does this mean that it has come off a different production line to the one in France?
