Haha I read somewhere ages ago that peanut butter works great on any vinyl due to the oil content so thought I'd give it a try and it worked an absolute treat!

Hi Folks, Just thought I'd share with you's a little trick I discovered yesterday whilst washing the car with regards to getting that grey looking vinyl on the B pillar back shining! Simple yet effective, peanut butter ( the smooth one obviously) and just dipping a microfibre cloth in and rub...

Brilliant, cheers mate. Will get the front bumper off this weekend and get a look at it

Hi Folks. Im an old member as I sold my beloved albi 197 a year past February but have found myself buying another 197 this time in red. Just looking for some advice. When I pull the stalk towards me to spray the front windows, no water comes out (maybe a trickle at the most) but this action...

Perfect,least if the 172 bonnet is away this afternoon then we'll have more choice. The raisers are a hinge in itself so the originals are totally removed mate.

Cheers mate,he was looking at normal 1.4's etc but I reckoned it would be safer to stick to the sports at least lol

Morning all. Just a quick question on behalf of a friend of mine who has a 182. He recently bought it but came with bonnet raisers on it which look quite naff! We have spotted a 172 in our local breakers and wondered if the 172 bonnet hinges would fit his 182 as he didn't receive the...

Brilliant cheers mate

My rear calipers are staring to seize up and I've found a set of rear calipers on eBay but they are from a 09 plate cup but mine is just an 06 non cup,just wondering if anyone could tell me if they will fit ok on my car? It's item 400296224723 on eBay. Cheers

£300?!! That's ludicrous eh! They know how to charge. Least it's fixed tho mate. Yeah foxspeed everything is as tight as it should be,checked absolutely everything,bit worrying. I phoned a local garage today and they quoted £84 for the two front bearings plus labour which wasn't too much of a...

Hi folks. I've been chasing a grinding/rubbing mouse for the last few days,had the brakes out cleaned etc but problem is still occurring. Only thing left I can think of is the front wheel bearings as I put new rear discs on 15000 miles ago with new bearings etc already in. I jacked the car...

I'm driving down to the Cotswolds next week and need the car sorted before then. Over the past week or two my car has been making a squeezing noise when driving even in a straight line but as soon as the brakes are applied even very slightly the noise disappeared but now the squeaking has...

Cheers lads appreciated

Does anyone have the hex size for removing the front caliper bolts? Cheers

sorry lads i didnt take a picture but there was a curved groove right down the edge of the pad at the top of the pad,its hard to explain without a picture lol. Only thing possible could be debry I suppose.

I decided to do a clean up of my breaks so i jacked the car up removed the pins (had to grind them out,purchased new ones today) and went to remove the pads and the outside pad came out with a little fight but the inside one just wouldnt budge?! after loosing it a little with the hammer it came...

It was bought from ktec 2 month ago,ill just need to phone them Monday!

So it should be replaced under the exhaust warranty surely? The car sounds chavy now lol

It's a decat that's on it,I also had the manifold down to the cat replaced at Renault only 1 year ago?

About 2 month ago I purchased a decat and exhaust for my 197 from ktec and over the past few days I've noticed my car is absolutely covered in hair like material at the back and this morning this horrible raspy noise from the exhaust has appeared? Anyone got any ideas what is causing this? Thanks
