Enough experience has led me to believe that tyre fitters who do everything absolutely spot on are a minority.

FYI camskill have a Michelin offer on until end of October.

Thanks, that would make sense given where I found it and what they were doing. I wish people paid more attention to what they were doing when it comes to reattaching seals and trim!

Tricky to make the part number out in the photo and I can't remember what it looks like in person- does this ring a bell with anyone? Not sure if it's for something behind the scuttle panel? The car was in at the welders recently and they ended up fixing something in the wiper mechanism while...

My Trophy has just failed its MOT for 'Fuel tank exhaust shield missing where fitted as original equipment creating a risk of fire (6.1.3 (e))'. Can anyone confirm is that going to be item 4 or 5 here and does anyone have a part number please?

I've seen a few threads saying these aren't available separately from Renault but has someone found loose alternatives? Mine are a bit worse for wear and not just surface corrosion so wanting to replace. My ducting that comes up to the airbox is also split, has anyone found a good repair or...

Just need this to happen with wheel arch liners now…

I await the rest of the story but can only jump to the conclusion whoever has these dampers is an utter cretin. Commiserations.

That's impressive! I hope the guys I plan on using for the welding are as good as they seem. https://www.facebook.com/share/15ehDYwSPQ/?mibextid=wwXIfr

That company I used has very good reviews so it's tricky. If the underside was in good condition in the first place I don't doubt it'd work well but when you advertise rust removal as part of the package...

Ended up being this, although they described it as a guard. Corrosion meant it needed to be packed with a washer and it had dislodged. Most importantly it wasn't anything to do with the belts so that's a result.

So much for this underbody treatment. 2 years hence and both sills are going to need replaced along with part of the floorpan at a minimum, ballpark estimate £1500. Either the underside was too far gone in the first place (in which case I'd want to be told that) or the dinitrol treatment has...

£130 for a used liner, what a joke.

Yes of course and that is the plan as a worst case scenario, they are aware and have no hesitation about taking it back but it's a 4 hour round trip for me and a write-off of a Saturday. Ideally I'll get my local guy to have a look first on the assumption it is something easy. My other car has...

The only thing I'm fairly certain of is it's towards the front of the car.
