Hi Yiannis, thanks for the useful advice. I started noticing the problem last year around September and it got progressively worst. I had some H&R springs (I hate them) put on in October and i could notice the wandering/pulling more after. I had a basic alignment done straight after fitting and...

Tyres are perfect mate, I have a pump and pressure gauge at my house. They are checked every two weeks. Exactly, luckily I didn't pay as it was covered under warranty as part of the lower arms being fitted.

Recently I've been experiencing problems with my steering. Basically feels like it's pulling to the right and wandering badly. Along a straight bit of road the steering sways from left to right slightly so it doesn't feel to safe if I'm honest. If I accelerate it pulls to the right(into oncoming...

Please invent this! [emoji4]

Yeah your right bud. They are quite a soft compound, same with the nangkangs really. Should have mentioned that. Yeah I don't think you'll go wrong with those mate.

Didn't know angel did them at that price. Will get them from Cazan next time. Looks like I got screwed over by demon tweeks last year.

What contis are you running at the moment? Conti sport contact 3's are the standard tyre for this car and are actually very good tyre. AD08'r are what I use. They are a fantastic tyre. They heat up really quickly and are super grippy when warm. They hold up well cold and wet too which is very...

Make sure the belts have been done regardless of the milage. If it's a 197 they should have been done by now. Watch out for crunches in the gearbox especially going into 4th. They aren't the strongest box. Make sure the steering feels tight and doesn't pull or wander as this could mean the...

Haha tell me about it Chris91. It was on Schmidt modern lines. The fronts where 7.5j with 175/45/16 tyres stretched over. And the rears where 9j with 195/45/16 stretched over. Feel free to call me a stupid idiot, totally unsafe and unnecessary. It lasted about a month before I missed having a...

Hope you get well soon mate. At least it's happened in winter when you wanna avoid driving more because of ice, salt and grit on the roads. [emoji4]

Should be ok mate, will keep you updated.

Thanks Eddie. Yes I can understand that and I agree it's nice of them to do it. I'm sure when Doris brings her Renualt scenic in for it MOT she overjoyed to have it washed. So you think its been brushed washed? Like what you get at your local jet wash? That's made me shudder. Ok thanks for...

Thanks mate, I called RUK this morning and they will cover it luckily just waiting for the service centre to confirm. Yeah I've seen those. Next time I drop my car there for the bl joints to be done. I'm gonna cable tie a sheet of laminated a4 to my steering wheel saying "do not wash" and...

Thanks bud, I'm sure its happened to other forum members also. Luckily I haven't paid out to have mine detailed professionally. Will check out some prices, like I said they have been good to me in the past so I don't want to go in and cause a scene. I'll. speak to the service manager when they...

I don't have the job card right now mate, as it was just an inspection, its still pending. I'll speak to the service manager today, he's a nice guy. I think that'll be the last resort going to customer services. Even if they can send it to there paint department for a light paintwork correction...

Cheers for the kind words everyone. I'll keep you all updated as to how this story unfolds. Quick update, Phoned Renault uk this morning and they have told me ball joint are covered under warranty which is a relief. What does annoy me is that I've told them the service centre is waiting to hear...

So recently I've been noticing my steering has been wandering and pulling to right slightly. With one month remaining on my extended warranty, I booked the car in with my local Renault service centre. It's handy as its just round the corner from where I work too. So got there and took a...

Nice car Linda. Great choice on the racing blue. Super youthful low milage 200 you've got yourself there, looks like a lovely example.

This is gonna be a great build thread mate, I've subscribed so will be keep a close eye on it. Any idea how long it will take you to complete? I'm tempted to go for the same supersprint racing system like you. But I'm worried with a manifold and decat it will break the noise limits on a lot...
