    V Power nitro

    Hmm I noticed the same thing in mine, I filled mine up last Friday and noticed the engine sounded like a bag of nails compared to before and again I filled up yesterday and its still the same. I only run my car on V-power, if it does not settle down by next Friday I will try standard petrol...

    Road tax increased!

    /Incoming rant Why can’t we moan? I have owned my car from new, it’s not like I have just purchased the car and then moaning about the running cost involved is it. It might well be one of the cheapest costs involved in motoring but it still does not make it right that it goes up each year...

    Road tax increased!

    Just gone to renew my road tax or VED to find its now gone up :blink: It's now £260! For a year or £143 for 6 months. Really starting to feel the pinch, it's gone up every year almost. I remember when I first got my car it was £215 for a year. When will it stop, I'm not paying £300 in a...

    Wind deflectors

    Has anyone tried the Renault wind deflectors and are they just as good as the team heko ones? Can't seem to find any good pictures of the Renault ones.

    I was driving along when...

    The under tray is silly money for what it is, think it was something like £70 or £80 when I asked twingogeeko a few years ago, mine is still broken.

    197: 5 Year Service

    Sounds to cheap but if its just purely the cambelt kit and not the accessory belt and other serviceable items then that will be why. I priced up a full 5 year service today for my car and that came to over £400 for just the parts, that was with the cambelt kit, accessory belt kit, water pump...

    Clio Battery??

    As far as I am aware you don't need to do that with the Clio, I have disconnected the battery a number of times without any problems. And yes that's the right order to disconnect the battery, just bare in mind I think its the ESP light will be lit when you reconnect the battery. You can...

    Request: colour match for matt silver handles (standard)

    Possibly where the price difference comes from, I just assumed they were the same just with a key hole that could be replaced with a button.

    **UPDATE 16/08/13** Hankooks falling apart!!?!?

    Where did you buy the tyres from? My brother has put evo v12 on both corners of his evo around 2/3 weeks ago and I have just checked and they are fine, same case with my car but I only have them on the rear. Also all of our tyres have the date of manufacture stamped onto them, seems very odd...

    Gearbox Reconditioning Midlands??

    Lets face it, if Renault did change a part in the internals of the gearbox surely that would them admitting there was a problem and open the flood gates? I have not seen any solid prof of this claim so it wouldn't surprise me if it was someone working for RUK who spread the rumour about the...

    Wind noise through main door seal

    I found the solution to this, I was reading the Actis solutions and found a section regarding wind noise on the drivers side. Turns out the window run channel was revised in I think 2009/2010 and has a new design to solve this very problem. However the parts not cheap at around the £70/£80 mark.

    Request: colour match for matt silver handles (standard)

    That's not a bad idea, I might buy some new ones and get them sprayed as the black handles are around £20 (7701475753) and the chrome effect are almost £60 (7701478162).
