looking for some wisdom.... My gf bought a 3yr old approved used Golf mk6 in March from a VW main dealer. It has been in and out since 3 weeks after she bought it with a "rattle/ bang" in the drivers door which seems to be more prevalent on sunny days.. 9 + visits and numerous fault finds and...

I thought there used to be a guaging interest option in the for sale section, but I couldn't find reference to it.. I'm thinking of selling the Clio and joining the Meg club. Unsure about whether I'll trade it in, or sell it privately. Bought from Steve at RSport cars I've owned it...

Finally got round to getting Renault to diagnose the 3rd gear synchro issue in my R27.. Que a quote for £2200 to fix plus a call to RUK. Contribution of 60% offered. Still nearly £900 quid from me to fix it. I've haggled to no effect so far, currently waiting for someone more senior to call...

Was in for a service the other day and it was noted that there was an oil leak from the timing area. They think it is coming from a camshaft seal? any of the experienced folk on here care to comment before I start to take bits off to get a closer look? It had the belt done at renault...

One of mine is leaking - so i'll replace both sides. Renault want £550 to supply and fit.. How difficult is the job? - I think I read somewhere the hubs have to come off? could a local 'regular' mechanic manage without screwing it up? the shock is £69.23 each below...

My fronts are well overdue a strip and lube. I've got a sledge hammer standing by.. Any idea what size punch is required for front pads? 5-6mm I guess?

Today I finally got round to becoming a paid member, been around for a while but never got round to it. :bounce1:

Gotta get it done this week . Everywhere seems to be sbout 50 . Sure it wasn't this much before? Any suggestions in the camberley area?

After getting a puncture I had to source a replacement conti sc3. Others were quite worn so booked her in f or the other 3. So now have 4 brand new tyres which has transformed the handling and grip. :) Was stuck for choice on the one that got punctured so paid 140. Got the other 3 for 330 fitted

As above just clicked over 30k in the 197 . This engine just seems to get better with more miles

White 11 plate 200 with black roof in frimley . Crossed paths a few times this week. I'm the black r27

Guildford one With no stickers on the doors. Red one going opposite way to me in the black r27 . You waved I was too busy thinking how cool they look on the :bumpit:road

Only noticed this today as i was under the bonnet.. :scared::scared: I don't think this should be here?! I can see the cambelt through it. The only time anyone has touched this part of the engine was Renault when doing warranty work (fixing the leaking rocker cover.) it looks as if...

as above... i've been busy stripping cleaning replacing pads and putting some new fluid in the brakes today. They are miles better than before with much more feel - but i can't help feeling they could still have a few bubbles in them as the pedal travels a bit before you really start to feel...

I'd noticed the drivers side rear brake had developed a high pitched squeal when on the motorway. Got the chance to pull the the caliper off today for a clean and copper grease the backs of pads etc.. which i hoped would fix it. I found the inside pad has broken away a bit and now looks a bit...

Just watched it at the cinema ... Superb If you are a motor sport fan of any sort you'd be hard pushed not to enjoy it. Don't really have to be a biker to understand Guy martin is awesome in it.

Was like having an 'out of car' experience. ! First time I've seen the same car on the road.

time has almost come round for my 24k / 3 year service. Renault quoted 228 Ktec are 128 Me = Oil and filters approx 70? and an hour one weekend. Is it worth getting a stamp for resale time etc? i'd loathe paying Renault 228 for anything for all the times the car has had to go in...

Is it just me or does everyone elses brakes feel like they are grinding thru the pedal when you hit them hard enough to get the abs to kick in? Sounds and feels like I'm hurting it. I have been meaning to get them off and clean them up for a while so this might prompt me, btw the pads still...

A few years ago I would have used t cut to get.rid of a few light scratches and the ingrained bird poops. Is this still the way? Or is there something better to apply by hand now?
