    So finally got the car back today, Dash isn't lit up like a christmas tree anymore. The abs fault was due to the rear hub being corroded away and made the sensor rub against the back of the abs ring on the disk. New rear disc's and hub was needed. My bank balance was not happy! Only issue is...

    F1 197 - Frenchie

    Thanks! I think it was worth every penny. I went to him and he fitted it for me. But I'm pretty sure you just have to disconnect the battery then remove the airbag. Mines perforated leather for the main grip, then alcantara top and bottom, red marker and it's silver stitching to match the car :)

    F1 197 - Frenchie

    From memory it was £110 and he takes your old one in exchange. But you can have different materials like leather, perforated leather and alcantara. A replacement wheel from renault is £170 the last time i looked

    Took it to the garage for the MOT, passed fine. Tyre did manage to pick up two screws on the way there! Ordered two Eagle F1 asymmetric 3's to replace the crappy landsalls which came with the car! So will be running Asy 2s on the rear and the new Asy 3 on the fronts. Since getting through the...

    So realising I have auto adjusters and headlight washers but no Xenons, I decided I might be able to get away with HID's easier than with just projectors, so I ordered some :tearsofjoy: Old photo before I fitted LED anything. So I ordered 6000k 35w H1's for dipped and H7's for full beam...
