    Help me decide my tyres please.

    Unfortunately can't hold off that long. Front tyres are about 2/3mm now and I need to get these ordered and fitted before FCS.

    Help me decide my tyres please.

    Help me decide my tyres please.

    When I use it to work and back it's all about fuel efficiency. Driving any other time that MPG reading goes down quick. I loved my federals but I wore through them far too quickly which is the main reason I switched to the conti, they've done well and IMO they deserve the credit because they...

    Help me decide my tyres please.

    I'm still only on 17s chances are ill stick with the contisports as I've loved the fact that they are always the same (to me) despite whether its raining shining and it's only as they've approached the 2-3mm mark I've felt any difference and even then it's only when pulling away. its only a...

    Help me decide my tyres please.

    So the time has come for new tyres. I've had contisport 3, then federal RSR (which I loved) and most recently contisport 5 (also love) Looking at tyres and the new ratings I can see the contisport 5 rate highly in all but fuel efficiency. a tyre with the same ratings is the Dunlop SP sport...

    Well if you ever see an albi blue 197 LR56 WZL that's me. Normally parked up on one of the roads that branch off of chipstead valley. The white 197 I see on the back roads that you can go down to get onto the M25 via how lane etc. theres also a sweet 182 down there parked up at the weekends.

    197/200 Official sales figures

    Supposedly no albi blues have cornering and xenons. Pretty sure mine has both, unless my eyes lie to me. I have one of the 149 that came with panoramic roofs :)

    Sensor needs new sticky stuff

    I actually ended up buying a whole new sensor/lens pad. Cost £20 from Renault as I wasn't having any luck getting my wipers to work any other way. The bit is the sticky pad and the black plastic bit with the lens on it. It just unclips and then the new top bit reclips in. All working perfectly...

    Sensor needs new sticky stuff

    No idea what it's called. Basically the automatic wiper sensor that stuck to the windscreen has become unstuck (wipers stopped working) Have taken the bit apart and pressed the sensor back onto the pad hard but 5 minutes later its off again. What's the best stuff to use or when can the...

    albi blue touch up pen

    I've tried Renault dealerships and got told they no longer stock them. As above eBay is your best bet. I wish I could find the one I brought last year and never even used :( If you want the paint code it's RNC (as I was told from Renault if I've remembered right)

    Dammit fog light lens smashed

    Yeah looking at eBay it appears ill have to replace the entire case. Are they all the same mk3 Clio lens? The 197 isn't different to a standard model fog light is it? I'll have a look at lamin X before the other one bites it I think.
