Yeah I'm aware of that, retest is only £15. It's just that I've got one fail for the tyres from one garage (which are changed) and another for the brakes and stuff from the other garage, I'm obviously gonna go for the cheapest option which is the first garage. Will the second fail from the...

Spot on Lads. Just found the article, wish I had a bloody printer! Ha Ha. I did do a search but there was nothing about it being seized or anything. Just been out to spray wd40 on it, no point really cause it's not attached to anything. Anyone know the crack about my second question, about...

Alright Guys, need some advice from you. The cup just failed it's Mot for the brake load sensing valve linkage being seized and both rear brakes recording little or no effort. The cups don't have a linkage i'm sure so how can it be seized? And would that account for the poor rear braking...

Sunday afternoon about 2pm. Seen the cup parked up at the garage, didn't spot the reg or if it had a CS sticker. Spotted the red full fat just coming into the town off the dual carriageway.

My mate made some up for me at his work. Took 2 minutes to fit and it's stopped the Knocking. Been in the car now for about a month. Quality advice, Cheers Fred

yeah i thought £160 was a bit cheaper considering Renault charge £300. Might go down to see them again to make sure our wires aren't crossed

My local garage opened the bonnet, looked at it for 30 secs and said be about an hours work plus parts. But a servicing and aux belt change for between £160-£180 cant be bad.

Ha i know, just checked my handbook the now and it's there in black and white. Makes me wonder why i used to take the cup there in the first place. The guy even showed me the sheet where it say's change on 72k!

Magic. Cheers for your help guys, it's much appreciated.

Alright guys, just wanted your opinion really. My cars due it's 36k soon and i'm not sure about this aux belt change. renault are adament that I don't have to change it till 72k, but the cliosport guide (excellent by the way!) advises to change it at the 36k. Whats the definitive answer...

Not sure if it was tinted, prob was. looked really nice as it spanked the CTR. Must have been about 15s or there about for the 1/4 mile. think he just went home after that run, about midday?

Black Gold 182 at crail today. Don't know if it's off here. Seen it hammer a CTR on the drag strip. Got a pretty good time as well I think.

You'll get that in most cars at that speed. The clio's not really built aerodynamicaly for that speed, it will do it but thats mainly due to the brute power of the engine. I wouldn't worry about it.

If you unlock the car then don't open any doors,it locks itself automatically after a few seconds. They all do that I think

Get one. had mine 3.5 years now from new. Only thing thats gone wrong is the exhaust fell off and I burst a rear damper. And it managed to give my mate in the elise a fright on the run to Skye and back. Bang for buck you cant go wrong
