    Clio 200 jacks.

    Like what's already been said, if it has cup pack then no jack or someone has taken it out. I don't find the jack to bad tbh, apart from when I almost ripped my nail of when it caught the ground :nope: You would think they would make it easier to use a trolley jack though, the supplied jacking...

    Normal noise?

    Cheers, like I say not drove my car for 9 months and in-between driving others cars and for the life of me could not remember if that was the noise they make or if I introduced air into the system when I pushed the piston back.

    Normal noise?

    It's been such a long time since I drove my car I have no idea if it used to make this noise when braking or not, had a few problems when I changed my rear pads so I might just be being paranoid. Not my video but its the same sound I hear when braking, like rushing air. This is when I am...

    197 @hardings renault

    If its been sat around for a year then make sure you check everything! Make sure there are no flat spots on the tyres where its been sitting including excessive cracks in the side walls, rubber seals are all in good condition. Most importantly check the brakes, if the disks look in bad shape...

    Front Bumper

    If you like it then that's all that matters. You could always vinyl wrap it and if you do not like it, peel it off.

    Carbon Dipping

    On my quest to find a place that does this I came across a company called wicked coatings, they appear to be a new company but are on a few car forums and from their picture the work looks very good. Would this be something people would be interested in? We might be able to get a group buy if...

    Clio 200 jacks.

    Karl ie TwingoGeekeo should be able to sort you one out cheaper than that I would have thought, failing that have you had a look on ebay? You could also just buy a standard scissor jack, smaller and lighter than a trolley jack.

    This is what you get for £260

    Mike I don't think they fully understand what's happened and like every company today they read what they want to read. Just hate to think what would have happened if I did not remove the centre caps myself and a year down the line I had new tyres fitted, the poor tyre fitter would have got it...
