    KwikFit said I couldn't weld my cat converter.

    I went on a welding course for 12 evenings at my local college (oxy and mig), which was good fun. Excellent way to chill out and relax. I have resisted buying a mig welder, as the house would fill up with lots of dire things that I made, "because they were a good idea"... You can get...

    Mr Billy "UK", "Your right Guys ." is not GCSE level English. Please stop hijacking my thread. Unless you have any comments on welding catalytic converters, cease typing.

    KwikFit said I couldn't weld my cat converter.

    Harvey, You are a brave man for admitting you work for KwikFit. I can tell that you are not dyslexic.....just either a lazy typist, or typing while eating/drinking/chatting and a little distracted....and still the first one to answer. If it is blown up while welding, then I will get a...

    KwikFit said I couldn't weld my cat converter.

    KwikFit wouldn't make any money on welding it. I was gonna get a neighbour to weld it. Your answers have been helpfull. I shall ask my neighbour tomorrow. Elliot.

    So it can be welded then? Not made out of some Alien alloy?

    KwikFit said I couldn't weld my cat converter.

    Went to KwikFit today, and was told a new cat converter would be £609. When I mentioned welding it, they said it couldn't be done, because it is some sort of alloy, and a welder would just blow holes in it. Are they telling porkies? The weld into the cat is splitting. Would have...

    Bonnet wont open

    I thought you had to get under the bonnet, to get the front bumper off. Be nice if i could fix it without cutting the front grille. Cheers, Elliot,

    Bonnet wont open

    I need to fill the washer bottle, and want to change the front disks/pads. Martins of Basingstoke, are hardly likely to fix something for me for free. They are likely to charge me for a new cable/catch/pulley/2hrs work.

    Bonnet wont open

    tried them. also tried pushing and pulling the bonnet while wife pulled the release lever.

    Bonnet wont open

    Yup Vinny, When I pull the lever by the passenger foot well. There is no click, the bonnet doesn't rise slightly.

    Bonnet wont open

    The pull is OK, but it isn't releasing the bonnet. I am guessing I will need to go in from the front. Is it best to cut the grille on the left or right side, to get the bonnet open? Any hints?

    Can anyone explain this?!

    Is it dependent on wether the AC is on/off or does it happen when just the fan is operational? On my old 1.4rt, I used to have a squeal from the engine bay when doing over 60, with the air fan on. I think that was a loost spindle on the fan. Yours sounds a little more baffaling than that.

    Energy Engines

    The IK looks a little funy, since it is a very flat cone. When it is on the engine, it looks like a man with a very small hat on. It is also at the top of the bonnet, where all the hot air is, so it doesn't make it that efficient. Doesn't make much of a difference in noise either. If you...

    Energy Engines

    It will be a single point injection unit, that does the work of a carb, but is more efficient.

    Engine Bay *update*

    You gonna paint the RENAULTsport and the three lines, in blue too? And the oil filler cover?

    How many of you have had leaking/ missing headlamp washer balls on your 172s/182s

    yup, Had to replace the passenger side washer, and the driver side one is now leaking. Fitted the passenger side one myself. Undid the bumper fastenings, wiggled my arm in, undid the old one, and plumbed the new one in. Closest I've come to being a vet.

    Side-lights-on console indicator light

    Should there be a console indicator light for side lights, like there is for dipped/main beam/fog lights? Cheers, Elliot

    Engine Cover....Damn Rattly...Removing...

    Replace Headlight Washer Jets

    I managed to squeeze my arm up to the back of the washer via the front wheel arch. Bit tight though. No one seems to make an alternative yet. Your washer bottle will split next.

    washer balls...

    I got the whole unit from renault basingstoke. I havent managed to fit it yet though. Got a leak in my washer tank too, but not sure if it is the usual split bottle, or a rubber seal. They only cost about £7 from renault, but the balls are hard to get out...unlike the original ones that...

    £5000 to spend!

    Cant tell weather you mean another car as a second car, or a replacement for your current one. If it is a second car, then 5k will get you a decent kit car for the summer. look at e-bay or findit, or look at some of the kit car mags for ones for sale.
