cheers - it was the brake fluid, definately not the pads becuase i changed them not long ago

Hi,Not sure what this is about - whenever I go a bit 3 wheely round very long tight corners (this one is actually J7 of the M56 where I join it each morning) my stop light and handbrake light flicker and then stay on until I'm going in a straight line again..I'm sure its probably something and...

it could always be a private plate..

got to admit, I don't like racing blue on the 197's at all. would have to be black for me, although I saw an R27 in racing blue that looked ok, I think its the white bits on these ones posted that do them no favours at all - works on the 182 but not sure it does on the 197, car looks too big

please dont, people will laugh at you

probably because there is no point in de-catting a 1.4

Its a good enough excuse for them, but I'm not sure how the research could possibly take them 6 hours. I'm sure its always the same when they are dealing with insurance companies - get more money out of them, which is fine, but the insurance company don't pay them :(

No idea - just got the french dictionary out - and the bit I couldn't translate myself says "research of short circuit, and repairs to wiring" what wiring could this be? surely not the wire between the two sensors on my de-cat (it's supposedly related to the sensors)

I thought 6 hours was a "little" excessive.. not easy to argue with a French mechanic though! Letter to Renault time I suppose, I've got their receipt that lists the costs etc, €105 for the sensors seems about right, just not the 6 hours labour! I'll see what happens. To be fair, it could...

Hi, Just a quick question for anyone in the know - how many hours is it supposed to take to fit a new lambda sensor to a 182? I've just been back to France to collect mine after I broke down on holiday recently, just want to check if I've been ripped off or not with labour. thanks

you'll have to claim back for the cost at best, I highly doubt they'll pay for the repairs first hand - my friend ran over a rock on the motorway from the roadworks, he had to pay for his car fixing and eventually, 8 months later, amec paid out - and amec are a huge company who wouldn't be too...

yours was the private plate one with stripes wasn't it? I remember you getting the black R27 not long ago.. saw you a couple of times round ashley on the lanes :) I live in Leeds city centre, but my parents are in Hale, I kind of mingle between the two houses!

that would be me, getting passport photo's - putting your passport through the wash a week before your holiday is not recommended! :)

lol, f**king winter wheels - clios are that special, I know. Trophy has been ruined though, although the wheels are easy enough to change

Mines been doing Leeds - Hexham for the past 2 weeks, its most impressive, will get a pic later :) mileage ftw.. maybe until its time to sell! mines on 77k now - 40k in the 9 months I've owned it! getting replaced soon (but I'm keeping the 182 becuase I love it too much to sell it for the crap...
