    Suj's Nimbus Clio 197 and E36 328i Trackcar

    Always worth getting this sort of stuff done by professionals. Don't want to be driving down the road and the new wishbone you installed to just drop out because you thought you could do it...

    Rust On The Tailgate (AGAIN)

    Sorry to revive an old thread but just noticed this on mine today. How long did Renault take to actually get this fixed?

    Suj's Nimbus Clio 197 and E36 328i Trackcar

    What was strange for my crash was that one half of the bridge was gritted and clear, but the other half was ungritted and sheet ice... I went over first, had my fight with the curb. Then the BMW came over and took out the fence/sign, then a little puma came over and went into the BMW... We...

    Suj's Nimbus Clio 197 and E36 328i Trackcar

    Did a fairly detailed post about it on my progress thread, post 155 on pg8: http://www.clio197.net/threads/barney626s-nimbus-2008-197.57864/page-8 The feeling really is horrible, being totally helpless and seeing the crash coming.... Think I've learned my lesson with driving on country roads...

    Suj's Nimbus Clio 197 and E36 328i Trackcar

    Always hurts to see a picture like that, especially when you've had a similar experience... Caught my 'snow crash' on dash cam: Road was totally gritted and clear, then sudden sheet ice on the crest of the bridge. ABS instantly kicked in and just under steered into the curb. Cost about...

    Petrol flap

    Bought my car with the fuel cap solenoid broken causing the alarm to go off every time the car was locked. Really simple fix if you just need to replace the motor. DIY job. First you need the new part that looks like this: Can buy it from here...

    Treated the car to a proper Detail and Ceramic Coatings

    Looks stunning. Out of curiosity, how much did you spend getting this done?

    ABS/ESP/Service lights on

    If your traction control is refusing to turn on try turning the wheel to full lock on both sides a few times. Sometimes that resets it...

    ABS/ESP/Service lights on

    I got this a while ago and I commonly get rear calipers sticking in freezing weather. To the point where the car just drags the back wheels along rather than turning them for a bit...

    Xenon lights misbehaving...

    So according to this i have a broken computer and actuators? I rarely get the movement known as inititation and never get raised dipped beam? Any idea how to go about repairing the computer?

    Clutch release

    I have the same issue exactly. Sometimes blocks me changing gear and makes this hideous grinding noise trying to get into the new gear. Obviously really embarrassing when you're giving it beans off a light only to have the car lurch forward from the sudden loss of power and the horrible...

    Probably just got debaged and a previous owner, instead of shelling out for an official badge, made up a badge with halfords stick on letters :think:

    Welcome, wondering what's going on with the Renault sport badge on the back? Looks bigger than normal and moved slightly up?

    Gearbox whine!

    Mine can be a bit noisy when cold. Everytime I start off from cold, in first gear, I get a definite clunk after a few meters (not changing gear or anything). Very odd, only happens once, just put it down to character...
