It's taken me a while to get round to taking some pics but here you go: 56-plate 57k 330I Touring Auto. Love. It. It's really is fantastic. Goes extremely well, much more than I was expecting tbh. I kind of thought it would be about the same pace as the Clio in a...

Well, drove all the way down to Devon from Manchester today to part ex the Clio against my new car - a 2006 330i Touring. Took some finding the right BM in the spec I wanted, hence the distance. But then the Clio never once received any interest despite advertising since July. So if you see...

Got this bad boy to tool around in yesterday as I took the wifes 120D in to be looked at: ;/ What surprised me is how pokey it is for a base model petrol, especially given the size of the car (which seems MASSIVE compared to our earlier 1-series). 0-60 in 8.2s! :blink: I know...

Was driving into town yesterday, creeping past a police car on the main Parkway. Felt like I went over a slight bit of broken road surface - steering went heavy. STOP light comes on and warning saying Steering Fault comes up. Shot across to a bus layby, and turned it off. After considering...

I suspect I may part with the Clio this year. The issue is, what will replace it? Here's the requirements: - £10k budget. Basically want to spend no more than I'll get for the Clio, but know that that means add a couple of k on, hence c£10k! - More comfortable (doing lots more v. long...

Anyone know what the part number is for the rear pads. I order from World of Parts, were have been really good and prompt. However whilst the pads look correct, there are no retainer clips in the box and oddly 2 bolts.:001_huh: Part number on the box is 440607960R, and it only references...

Is this a common thing? Never been any bother at all, 'til I just moved the car for a colleague. It absolutely refused to lock the car. Had to use the passenger side in the end. I've got 10 days warranty left so it needs to go in! (also might need a new window regulator) :s

This is a sad indictment of my relationship with the Clio but...took it in for its 36k service this morning in Macclesfield and the dealership gave me a diesel Fiesta courtesy car. Now I have always had an irrational dislike of Fords, matched only by my entirely rational dislike of Vauxhalls...

Noticed that the heater isn't really getting that warm. Concerned that the stat might be goosed. After a 20-30 minute commute my water temp never gets above this: How warm does everyone elses get? All Renaults I've had haven't ever been that warm imo, 'specially not compared to the...

Hey all. Anyone able to tell me what plugs are in the 197s? And anyone got any hot tips as to where to get them at a good price?

3yr/36k mile service is approaching quickly. However, I've just found out that the indie Renault specialist I've used for years doesn't do MOTs anymore and no longer has any courtesy cars. Anyone know of any places in/around the south Manchester area of repute? I'd rather not go dealership...

Cleaned my rear brakes up last weekend as they'd been squealing like a stuck pig after long journeys. They were quite cruddy, but didn't seem to bad once cleaned up. Even wear on the n/s rear, with 3-4mm left. However, on the o/s rear the pad on the piston side had a lovely imprint of the...

Just had the B-pillar seal replaced again. It had fallen off by the time I went to pick the car up, so had to be restuck as I stood there watching. The guy said he'd had to do one on a brand new Clio just delivered. It really is about time they redesigned it. Had the clutch pedal mechanism...

Clayed and waxed the car today ready for winter. Noticed a small rust bubble on the body panel immediately below the rear wiper, almost underneath the glass. Can't decide if I can be bothered getting it sorted just yet as I just expect any work to end up with it even more ballsed up than...

Went to Bala yesterday. Down the A49 to Whitchurch, then A495 to Oswestry. A495 surprised me in that it's not a bad road tbh in parts. Thought I'd have to get further across to Wales for the fun to start. From Oswestry I cut west down the B4396 to Pen-y-bont-fawr, and then dropped on to...

Had the car in last year for various bits of warranty work, one item of which was that I was convinced something had started to work loose in the n/s front chassis. You could feel a slight knock when accelerating out of a bend if the surface was rough. They couldn't find anything (probably...

Apologies if this is a repost but it's new to me, having seen a couple of this guys vids before: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_XXWkWyavhM :clap:

Hi guys, have we got a topic for June please? Itching to go!

Which of the two do people think's a better entry? Very similar: or

As above. I'm looking to change from the Contis as I can't stand them, so looking for opinions on those who are/have run tyres in XL fitment. However, many of the other tyres in this size seem to only come in the extra load option. So IIRC it's a load rating of 91 rather than 87? It...
