    JMR's LY200

    Yeah I understand what you're saying. Either way the rears were 95% worn and the fronts 75% I could've got a few more months wear out of them, certainly the fronts, though the rears were starting to look a bit scored in places on the right rear, and the bearing was sounding like it was on its...

    LY 200 and white 197 in Newark Last Night

    I don't think so Liam. Could have been I don't remember though. If it was a mint unmolested car with black wheels that you saw, looked like it had just come out the showroom, then yes, it probably was me lol :laughing:

    JMR's LY200

    I love my cars :hearteyes: Cant help but look after them properly. :sunglasses: I'll be painting the hubs of the discs black tomorrow night ready for fitting, and painting the edges of the discs too to reduce any unsightly premature rusting. Being a designer for 25 years, presentation is a...

    Alternative to genuine discs/pads all round

    Yes I know what you mean Eddie. I also work for a company that has Renault dealers in group, but the prices are still pretty high compared to the Pagids/Brembos. Don't get me wrong, it is a huge saving on retail prices

    Alternative to genuine discs/pads all round

    Funny I went in to Eurocarparts and bought some Bosch wiper blades for the 200. They didn't fit well, size wasn't right, I took them back. Chap says 'what car have you got' 'Clio' I said. ...'here you go, Valeo all the way for French stuff it will be exactly the same as the ones you took off'...

    I understood a few years ago having owned a 172, 182 Cup and Twingo RS that the Genuine Renault items were made by Motrio ???

    JMR's LY200

    Had the car sorted on Thursday at Renault. Full 6yr service including cam belt, aux belt, water pump, coolant change, brake fluid change. All looked pretty good apart from needing new discs all round pretty soon. Pads have loads of life left in them but the discs are down to the last 1mm of...

    Alternative to genuine discs/pads all round

    Thanks fellas. Pagids could be ok then. Price is attractive, however I try to prefer to fit and forget at a ok price rather than find the cheapest. Bit of a balancing act on these. I know the rear discs are probably more critical than the front, seeing as they have the bearings and abs rings...

    Gearbox Oil

    Anyone notice any improvement in selecting 1st when cold? I changed mine out to NFP a few months ago and the gearchange is as slick as you like, but it hasn't solved the stiff box when the engines cold. 5 minutes in and its syrupy smooth. Thinking brake fluid/ clutch bleed and replacement with...

    New RB 200 Owner

    Welcome Rich Lovely RB200! Snake Pass is a great route, but Glossop at the top end can get really busy. Bottom end near Ladybower Dam is nice. The road was really badly pot-holed when I went last in September. The Cat & Fiddle road is nice, but theres a fair few cameras on it nowadays. Great...
