Hey, I've just been quoted 425 quid for my local Renault garage to fit new plugs, coil pack and leads. Sounds expensive to me, are they ripping me off? I reckon I could do the job myself, how much should parts cost?
Cheers

Hi guys,
I started the clio up this morning and even after being given a chance to warm up it was running a bit rough. The engine management light began flashing. My dad was looking after the car over the summer and described a similar problem. He took it into the garage where they changed the...
White RS Clio Phase 2 spotted southbound on the A686 not far from the Hartside Top cafe this PM. It looked nicely sorted with a stripped interior and bucket seats and was following a black civic. I was going the opposite way in a mondial blue 172 cup.
I can't make the 16th sorry, i've got a wedding on and i'm in chester for christmas after that. i'll definitely come along and say hello another time tho!

Cheers for the help guys, you were spot on. I've had the disc off and found that the deflector had come to pieces.. Any ideas whay that might have happened? I put on a new deflector and second-had brake disc with a wheel bearing pressed in. I put everything back together and the original problem...
Cheers for the quick responses. I'm not aware of a rear bias valve, i'll have to look that up. Re the missing spacer; the pads and disc look pretty new so it is likely someone's had them off recently. If a missing spacer was to blame, does it make sense that the disc would work as it should...
Hey guys, this is my first post, it looks like a great forum I hope someone can be of help.
I just bought myself a 172 cup after years of saving - very happy with the car but after only a week it developed a scoring/scraping noise from the nearside/left rear. I took the wheel off and decided a...
