    Broken down help!

    Well she is on the way to be dumped on renaults forecourt. he said it doesn't look like its getting fuel so possibly fuel pumps packed in. Would this cause the throttle to go dead? the car wanted to start but just couldn't get it.

    Car wont start help and toyo manifold questions

    Hmm my car won't start now but I've had the manifold on for about a month. Hopefully it isn't linked and is just one of those things.

    2x 197 Croydon/mitcham then on the A3

    White 197 stuck in traffic going the opposite way, fully stickered up. Saw you notice me, I was in the AB 197 Red 197 on the A3 just after the Wandsworth B&Q would have flashed you but was in a major hurry to get home. completely standard by the looks of it 08 plate.

    Diagnosing steering rack/column knock?

    I had this. When my subframe was taken off to fit my new manifold and refitted, it cured my problem. same noise, same cue and came from the same location, didn't happen every time though.

    Blowie/buzz noise at 2.3k under hard acceleration

    Yeah mine vibrated against the frame too. They had it in for extra time so they could heat the manifold and bend it slightly more to stop it. Still happens occasionally but it's a massive improvement. just thought I'd give an update. Had mine fitted almost 2 weeks ago now. Went in for its MOT...

    Problems with 1st and 3rd gear

    I wouldn't worry mine have always been tricky coming down the gears rather then up. There's been probably a handful of times, since owning the clio, I've gone 6/5 down to 3 and had to go into 4th to get 3rd after. Just a fussy box. 75k, 7 years old and it's been that way since 4 years and 50k...

    Drivers side fog

    As the bumper will shortly be off to get at the exhaust manifold figured I'd get the foglight done at the same time (thanks M25 and stone) anyone know if his is any good? It's half the price I've been quoted by Renault...

    Blowie/buzz noise at 2.3k under hard acceleration

    I'd imagine it'll be fine with just the main one. Just get the exhaust hot before I take it in :p

    Blowie/buzz noise at 2.3k under hard acceleration

    Cool thanks for clearing that up :) You can tell exhausts aren't my thing. I know enough to help me not get scammed at garages (ever again) and what I learnt from my old fiestas I have heard some people pass with a decat. I do suppose it will come down to your emissions. I can let you know next...

    Blowie/buzz noise at 2.3k under hard acceleration

    The one I linked is for a 197 the one you linked is for a 200 they are different. saying that they both look the same to me, just the photo is taken at different angles and the pipes merge slightly earlier on the toyosport version.

    Blowie/buzz noise at 2.3k under hard acceleration

    I can't complain. It's lasted me near 7 years and nothing lasts forever. My toyosport one should be here in 2/3 days :)

    Pics off sun visor with light

    Sorry it took so long. Work :( Got a few. If you need I'll grab some daylight ones too The visor lights only come on when the mirror is revealed. When the flap is pulled completely over the mirror the visor lights are off.

    Blowie/buzz noise at 2.3k under hard acceleration

    Yep toyosport for me. £800 is a bit ridiculous. Normally don't have an issue getting my bits from Renault but certain parts they price up silly.
