Hehehe. U kno wot i meant!:p

Just passed my MOT, So happy i had to tell someone, one new tyre (70mph away from death!) and some welding along the offside sill and straight through. So after £1100 on maintenance alone in 8 months i can now get my wheels refurbed, full sys zorst, and a superchip, so i can actually notice a...

Could well be your tracking mate. Had it checked on my valver as every time i braked it wanted to throw me into a hedge. plus torque steer on take off was worse than a front wheel drive turbo. everything ok now tho. Worth a check dude for half hours labour cost. Id try going back to where u...

My 16v will do 60 in second at about 7000rpm. other than ktr ingnition leads, bosch super 4s and a pipercross element my engine is standard. Is this normal??? Bookie

When i eventually get my car sorted mechanically im thinking of slammin it a wee bit! dont have bags of cash at the mo still owe my uni £500, i have found someone to adjust the torsion bar at the rear but im toiling over whether to change the springs on the front or whether to get new dampers...

Be sure to thoroughly check the car over, i.e known rust spots, brakes etc, use them as points to haggle the price if they need replacing in the future. Only saying this cos i paid the same for an M reg with 72000, 3 owners, full renault history and ive done nothing but find problems!! Dont

Yo ive spent close to £800 in 7 months!!! love the drive so much, but i owe more on the loan than what its worth! i have a private plate that bumps it up a bit. Bin to the scrappy, bout 17 4 doors but not a 3 door in sight!! NIGHTMARE!!!

After 5 bearings (yes 5), new discs/pads, new ignition leads, brake pipe, gear stick gaiter, clutch cable, clutch, 2 sets of super 4s, pipercross filter, new dizzy cap, 2 oil changes, gear box oil change, i thought id finally be able to get the wheels refurbed and sort out the tiny spots of rust...

Love it to bits. But same as a few other members its costlier than the Queen to maintain!! Every time i get enough £s to get an ecotek or the like something else goes wrong (currently need replacement coolant hoses and expansion tank, new top mount, clutch is on the way out too!!) But hey its...

22, 3 years NCB, 16v phase 2, no mods, looking for insurance myself, quotes around £750 (if paid in full) £850 instalments. Endsleigh quite good for both young drivers and students (which is where i fit in!!). Although was with Tesco 5% off for buying on line, not much but every little helps...

Hello peeps, Just as i was getting round to sorting all the niggleys on my motor, drove out of work friday and KER-TWANG!!! there goes your clutch cable (bye-bye tune up and ecotek). Had it replaced today, along with gearbox oil and new rear brake light all for £70. Not too shabby i...

Yo peeps, Seems i only ever post on here when something needs doing to my motor!Has anyone ever attempted to change a sus top mount? my off side is bouncing around a bit. Gradually getting things done tho, just need to sort out a bit of rust, refurb the wheels (now that i have found a...

Id love to help dude, looking for insurance myself at the mo. Lowest quote i can get for unmodified (truth) valver is £600. And thats on one of those 10month rip offs where they secretly charge you the same amount in the end as you would pay for 12mths. So any low cost insurance cos would be...

Been like it since i bought it (3mths ago). 2 previous owners. Friend of mine mentioned Red Dot (i think) as replacement oil, supposed to be the best on the market. First job with new years pay packet i think!

Having the same problem on drivers side. Pretty much where DeanRSi has it. Also under the sill on drivers side there is a lot of surface rust. Apparently its where the stonechip cover is attached to the body, moisture can get inside there and basically rots it from the inside out. Back to the...

Hello, Every now and then i have probs shifting down into 2nd. Do 16v boxes have a tendency to do this after a while? Done 78,000 now and cant find any evidence in history of a gearbox oil change, i know i need to do this asap anyway. Any info would be great. Thanks

Recently started to replace the discs and flexi hoses all round on the Clio. Have successfully changed the discs on the front, backs still to do (found out i need to replace the hub nuts too, which neglected to buy also). Decided to change the Flexis to those of the braided persuasion only...

Found out from Pipercross (just down the road from me) today that they MIGHT consider making the Viper for the F7P engine. Dont take this as gospel but heard it from someone who works there, something along the lines that they havent made one due to fears of lack of sales. Was gutted to find...

Hola, Does any one know of a decent wheel repairer in the northants, bucks, cambs region? All 4 of my wheels need building up and re-laquering. Really like the original phase 2 15"s so not looking to upgrade them Have had a quote for £230 for all 4 at the mo. Bookie

Its done 76000. Only had it 6 weeks. Bought private. Just had oil change, oil filter, new plugs, new coolant etc. Thought about upgrading the leads as it takes a bit to start. Got full renault service history up to cambelt change ( as renault wanted extortionate amount of dough to do...

Schweet! Better get saving the moola then!! Cheers Bookie

Anyone got any tips for easy mods to a 16v?? Was thinking along the lines of hillpower induction kit Full stainless system including manifold Will this make a noticeable difference?? Bookie
