Pot Hole Blues

[slime]

...seems I'm unlucky in the highway with my car....ran through a DEEP pothole...tyre (with only 1000 miles on it) went pop.....had to get the break down services out as the so called tyre weld did nothing.....so now I'm £150 lighter as I'll have to have a call out from Pro-tyre....

Lessons learned are....sort self out with a spaer wheel and tyre....Red Barron has managed to sort out a space saver that will fit....any details Mr Barron so I can look to do the same??

Turns out the man from the break down service is a Renault Sport Fan and is underway with a race project on a Clio 182. Jay....if your reading cheers for all your help and assistance last night. Good look with the build....

not the cheapest option but it fits a treat and does take up as much bootspace

Same thing happened to me in March...in the middle of the night ran through a pothole at approx. 110 km/h. I didn´t even see the hole, as it was so dark, no moon. The sharp edge of a pothole pierced the side of a left rear tire and I had to call the Renault service to pick me up. I was lucky at the end, didn´t had to pay for anything, as the car is still under guarantee, so the tow service was for free, and the roads in our country are insured, so I got the money which I payed for a new tire back...

have you checked your shock absorber for leakage?
