I know that, but my dealer is giving me advice that contradicts the manual.

Sheffield - Motor Magic Do you know any decent mechanics in Worksop?

Actually it's 72k for spark plugs. I just think it's ridiculous for a renault dealer to charge that much, what must their hourly labour charge be in that case? Anyway, I am not really desperate to take it to a specialist as it's just an ordinary car at the end of the day, I will take it to a...

I am trying to figure out what my car service schedule is, The book says 12k sparks plugs 100k. The dealer says 18k spark plugs 32k. The car has been serviced every 12 so far. Another completely ridiculous thing is the service cost quoted by my renault dealer (worksop) £220 Great British...

Wow, did he have a crooked back?

Funnily enough I own a Clio 172. (why on earth would I be on a cliosport forum??) The focus feels miles more solid than any clio that I have sat in.

Not really, the older a car is, the less it depreciates. Cars lose the most value in their first three years, after that it goes down gradually. I guess it's fixed cost motoring for you at the end of the day, if you're happy to pay the premium, then fair enough. Also, the focus was an...

Did you by any chance care to see how much your car is shedding in depreciation? That's costing you month in month out, you just don't see it, so in your mind it doesn't exist.

You must be joking about the "supercar" part I hope. The renault clio RS isn't exactly fast, I would class it as nippy, it merely feels fast because it's essentially a cardboard box on wheels. Brand new, I would class it as poor value for money. I would pay a few k for one, I would never...

What's so special about the Kangoo mounts?

Literally? IMO they spent the money they found down the back of the sofa on it.

Are the Ktec ones not worth considering?

First off, had my car to my mechanic today to have it looked at, the engine mounts are apparently worn, I believe there are three of them. My mechanic spoke to a mechanic at my local dealer who said they wear out quickly and to look into uprated ones as Renault ones are junk, by reading around...

I have this too,, any advice?

I think you should drive the car less hard if you want good service life from your tyres.

I dunno, I wonder if the quality will match Michelins original quality of rubber, remember Michelin, Goodyear etc spend millions on r&d perfecting their product, Barry in his unit under a bridge does not. Personally I would stick to brand names, Camskill sell Goodyear tyres for £65 each, or...

Use something non acidic, autosmart have a good range.

This is 100% your fault, you should always leave enough gap to stop in.
