Awesome first post!

Lol at first i thought it was me being a pussy but i got my 13 stone rugby player mate on the case and he failed aswell.

The remote central locking button on my keyfob is playing up at the moment and im thinking it needs a new battery and maybe some contacts inside realigning. However for the life of me i cant get the key open!I dont want to scratch the crap out of it but im giving it some force and cant slide...

Finally got the problems sorted with the 172 and have done a couple of hundred miles in it now. Ive started to notice it pulls right under hard acceleration,is this just a quirk of the car or a potential issue? Doesnt bother me as ive come to expect it and counter it. Also,coming from...

Cheers folks,jump start and drive to renault might be the only option however id then need to change my battery at the renault garage which they might not fancy!

Batteries completely knackered mate,had the RAC out who tested it and its completely dead. I have a 172 aswell mate. Ill have a search for that calum,could save me alot of work.

Thats what im going for,problem with getting renault to look at it is it wont start due to the battery!

Just seen a guide on removing the bumper however it seems some of the bolts are under the bonnet?

My new battery came today and ive just come to fit it however the bonnet wont open. Normally when it wont open i get the missus to pull the lever and i jiggle the bonnet until it opens,however ive tried that for half an hour now and it isnt happening.I took the interior trim that covers the...

HAHAHAHA,this thread cracked me up,MAZ YOURE A c**k!

Cheers Jenic,balls,im at uni so no tools with me.

My battery has gone and im struggling to work out how to remove it,i cant seem to see whats holding it in place(doesnt help that i have snow on my glasses lol).

Any ideas where i can get a centre cap for my 172 wheel,some pikey nicked it!

Well so far its starting up alright,any reason why the remote central locking wont work now though?

Well the RAC just came and started the car for me(might aswell use the membership ey!)but then told me the battery is knackered and that a new one from them would be £100!I told them to hop it and took the car for a drive,it starts up now but for how long i dont know,the remote central locking...

When we setting off?lol.

Tell me about it mate!Any withington or fallowfield area members got a set of leads i can borrow per chance?

b****cks,just to cap it off it seems i now have a flat battery and no jump leads.My housemates pushing me down the road after tea FTW!

What an absolute twunt!People spend a hell of a lot of money on cars and put in a lot of research and work when looking for one,imagine the stress someone would have gone through buying your car then finding its a shitter! Anyone know where maz lives?

I saw this muppet on the m602 aswell,i was busy following the satnav in mine and nearly got forced into the wrong lane by him.

Just realised thats a 182 cap,im on 172 rims sadly.I need to see what a refurbs going to set me back,or maybe even have a go at sorting it myself.

How much shipped,what colour and does it have the bolt thing! Does anyone know if i can get touch up paint for the wheels,theyve really done a job on the finish.

Haha that did cheer me up,good work! My mate had the compomotives nicked off his 106 just down the road a few weeks back,tonight weve got a mate with a supra whos going to park on my drive,bit of bait,then we wait in my house for them to turn up.

Got my car back yesterday from the garage after the head exploding on me after having the car 2 days! £1000 lighter in pocket i was well happy to finally have it back,parked up on the front tonight,woke up this morning and some chav has nicked the centre cap off my front right and scratched...

Way too far imho that blue one!

Scrap that,found it,libero grande!

I remember there used to be a footy game on the ps1 or 2 where you played as 1 player on the team in a first person view,had an italian sounding name i think? Anyone remember it?

Cheers,i gave birchdown a call anyway and got all the info,looks like i might take the car from the garage its in now and get it to birchdown! Just whether i can afford the transportation costs. Im hoping the engine will run sweet as the head is a newly built with new valves etc and the one on...

Cheers FOxy,the garage is still adamant,he said the head weve been supplied with wont match up to the original cam cover? Wrong again from him?

Basically my garage is telling me that it cant fit the new head/cams i bought because the old cam carrier will only match the old cams,and i need the matching cam carrier for my new cams. Is this true or not?
