    Noisy air conditioning...

    Mine was totally without gas last month! It was regassed by a Renault Service Centre and it checked out as being leak free! I might pop it back in there on my way home tomorrow evening to see if they can check for anything obvious! The noise is very strange but disappears just as soon as I turn...

    Noisy air conditioning...

    I have noticed that my car makes a loud whining if the air conditioning is on... Is it time to visit my local dealer? The system was regassed last month...

    Stolen white 200 - nottingham

    You have my deepest sympathy mate!! :angry: I woke up one morning in 2007 to find my house had been burgled and my 12 week old Subaru Impreza had gone along with my jacket, wallet, keys, camera, laptop.... The only consolation was that the 12-year old (!!) that broke in to the house was known...

    Poor paint finish - help required!

    I certainly get the feeling that buying a polishing machine could be the tip of a very big and expensive iceberg!! I think I will work the paint by hand and aim to get the 1-day detail booked in soon..... Thanks for the advice!

    Poor paint finish - help required!

    I spent some time working on the bonnet & front bumper this afternoon... I washed the front of the car, clay-barred the affected areas and used a soft cotton cloth with Auto Glym paintwork renovator to gently polish the paintwork. I then applied a coat of Auto Glym super resin polish and I am...

    Poor paint finish - help required!

    Thanks for the contact! I have been going a bit of YouTube searching and I thing the bonnet & top of the front bumper suffer from 'haze'... It is as though someone has used too much of an abrasive polish and it has not been worked enough to break down the particles... I hope that sort of...

    Poor paint finish - help required!

    I think I will see what I do to improve things this weekend by hand and take things from there... I think someone has tried to polish the bonnet with the wrong product - something slightly abrasive - and I just hope that it can be recovered! If all else fails I am going to treat myself to a...

    New 200 ordered

    That is a really nice spec. that you have chosen! The 4+ deals are really good and - like you said - if you are signing your life away make sure you get the car you really want! :-)

    Poor paint finish - help required!

    Thanks for the advice... I am seriously considering the long drive to Manchester for the 1-day detail that you quoted me for a few weeks ago! In the meantime I will try a proper polish as you suggest and see how I get on... If I buy wisely I surely can't make the finish any worse!? I will...

    Poor paint finish - help required!

    Thanks for the advice! I am confident that the paint is original but the car was bought used and it was on a forecourt for ages... Imagine the number of washes with a shabby old leather and a dirty bucket of cold water with a squirt of fairy liquid added..... It improves every time I polish it...

    Poor paint finish - help required!

    I have an Ultra Red RS200 and under artificial light the bonnet & the red painted top part of the front bumper have a swirly, 'hazy' finish that really bugs me! It looks as though the paint has been badly polished with the wrong materials and elbow grease does not seem to be helping.... Can...

    I don't see mine but I was sent to the far end of the car park when I mentioned Clio197/200.... :-( There are some great pictures there though! :-)

    matt red clio

    I went to look at a pre-registered Diavlo Red Raider a few months ago and I quickly concluded that the paint looked like a 1980s red that had never been polished, that the high gloss wheels, bumper inserts, mirrors, roof & spoiler looked totally out of place on a matt finished car and that the...
