im going to be spraying my Renault badges next week and i have a good idea what im doing but the only thing im unusre of is what "grit" wet and dry paper to use for sanding down inbetween the primer coats before the final coloured paint is applied....

"Wet" doesn't quite do this event justice, whilst Saturday was fine we woke up in the middle of the night (camped at the circuit) to the sound of heavy rain, it then rained on and off until about 5pm Sunday, including some epic downpours which tested my equipment beyond the limit...not to...

Hi guys,
You've probably had loads of threads like these but I couldn't find anything specific to my query when I searched.
Basically, my front tyres are on their way out and to be honest they've never been particularly good, especially in the wet. I've got a Mk2 Clio Van (dCi) with a...
Today, since around 11am I have had no reception in the office on my Tmobile phone.
Also, our business Vodafone Blackberries have no reception either.
Anyone have any idea if there is an issue affecting these networks?

Noticed the other day that when slowing down or accelerating there is some water sloshing sound in my car. At first i thought it was coming from the washer bottle then found out that my passanger footwell and under the seat is soaking wet.
Under the passanger seat there are two raised holes...

Some guys from a Dutch Renault forum got invited to the Renault factory and came back with some awesome photos. They were too good not to steal and stick on here:
Went out for a short blast yesterday and a few quick snaps since I got a break in our typical Irish weather (it's feckin baltic I tell ye hi)

My passenger footwell is wet and so is the bulkhead (correct term?) at the back of it running up behind the dash. Part of the windscreen seal directly in front of this area is visibly loose...
Hi all, newbie here...
Can someone please help me. I have a 2003 Renault Clio Dynamique. Love it... Only problem is in heavy rain, as today I endure the comfort of a wet sun visor and soggy seat. After reading this is a common fault i rung renault and it'll be about £500 to fix. Its a manual...
Hi all,
Not had my Cup long, and was thinking this morning as I was driving to work in the pouring rain....again, about the cup being renowned as being a bit of a handful in the wet.
I think Evo referred to it as 'nervous in the wet'.
Got me thinking ...... why? Is it the tyres...

Hey guys, just a quick question before I start ripping up my carpet in the car!
Wondering if anyone has had problems with water in the drivers side footwell? It has bee raining quite a lot up here in Scotland and I went out to the car couple of days ago to find the drivers side swimming in...
I've got a 172 cup. When it's really wet the brakes take ages before they actually feel like they might stop the car any time soon. I guess it's while they heat up and vaporise the water.
I have cheapest pads I could find, so maybe that's a problem but they are fine in the dry.
Anyone else get...
