Where?? - can't see it

Count me in, i will add my name when you put the group buy in!!

Had three clio sports now, all three seemed to have a life of their own. I've found that when you test drive the car ready for purchasing the car seems perfectly fine but when you have had it for a few weeks you start to find it tramlines and feels out of control - mine does this all the time...

Just bought myself a 182 clio, there appears to be a leak coming from the power steering hose leading from the rack to the fluid reservoir. Its the shortest of the two hoses and a hole appears to have worn away in the alluminium section of the hose close to the exhaust heat sheild/exhaust...

Hello My power steering pressure switch has started to leak power steering oil, just had one priced at Renault £59!! - does anyone know if the switch is the same on other renaults or is the cup one got a different part nr? Cheers Griff

Had my 172 cup for 5month now, everyting has been okay but recently there has been a noticable knock/squeak noise when i turn the wheels from left to right when being stationery. Any ideas what it is? Cheers Griff

My uncle a mechanic and has the tools, he's also doing the job - anyone know if there is a cheaper cambelt kit/aux belt kit that is available?? Cheers Griff

Hello Looking at changing the cambelt and aux belt on my 172 cup 53reg, can anyone advise of the exact parts i will require to allow myself to carry out the job correctly - also anyone know if there is an alternative kit other than renault just that there cambelk kit is in excess of £150...
