Drove car today on garage traders plate after Miltek was fitted. Felt tight with no adverse effects from smash. Got leak from top hose. Can you believe its 10 days to replace one from Renault. Manage to source one and few cosmetic bits to do tmw and we're nearly there....

Sounds good, make sure you get some pics up when it's all 100%
