Gutted. Long way to go for a lap, but I'm sure it was awesome when it lasted. I hope the metal pipe coming loose wasn't anything to do with hands and elbows from Mill Lane Renault disloding someting they shouldn't have...I'm just bitter as they wasted my morning. :wink: Make sure that nice...

Nice one. That was just the info I needed. How to stop it happening again. As for the dealers...crying shame it has to be like that.

Fair point. Just didn't want to have MoT, insurance, tax all happening at same time in the year if it can be avoided. £££

Renault Mill Lane Aldershot weren't great for me to be honest. Just had my entire Saturday morning wasted by them. I rang a month in advance to book the T in to have the ECU bracket repaired under warranty and talked to the service people about what needed fixing. I asked for them to make sure...

The part number for the ECU bracket that breaks is 7701471821, so Renault Mill Lane Aldershot say, but I don't know if I believe them. If you book the T into a dealer to have the bracket repaired under warranty this is the number to quote in advance for the part. Just had my entire morning...

http://www.permagard.com.au/index.php?o ... &Itemid=65 About halfway down the page the Virgin job is quoted. It doesn't list the cost savings but validates the quantity of aircraft and yachts they coat. If you explore the Oz and London websites they discuss cost savings somewhere. Adi who runs...

I'm all for PG. I was never a believer in 'treatments' but having done a lot of research on PG and hearing so much good stuff about them I thought I'd go for it. Very pleased with the results. There was some white residue on some of the plastics but they removed it no hassles and gave the T a...

It's just fast cornering if you ask me. You simply can't help it! I do run lower than standard tyre pressures, slightly, but not hugely. 32 front and 30 rear vs 34 and 32 standard. On a 350 mile journey I'd noticed the tyre shoulder had taken a bit of a beating. 50% of the roads were soaking...

I saw that on AutoTrader too - mentions nothing about the CAT D bit - dodgy! I'd start at £9k and go from there. Or at £9.5k if you are holding out. It's my understanding that companies offer both a scheme and an allowance.

George, my rally car is on poly bushes and that creaks like hell, hot or cold weather, so that could be it. General chassis creaks could be the issue too, and are sometimes due to the torsional rigidity of it. Chassis are designed with 'normal' roads in mind and the forces that are generated...

Happened to me with a 106 and a 205. But on both occassions the issue was caused by the wheel bearings going first. One was wheels that put too much stress on the wheel bearings and the other excess weight. The 106 was running 6inch (wide) wheels when they should have been 5.5's. This put...

I've killed an engine in a water splash in the rally car, it's no fun. I've also drowned one as well, the brand new one fitted after the last was runined. Water is a killer so I'd be careful if you live in an area prone to flooding and lots of standing water. The air feed can suck up water...

I know this thread is old but I want to put a word in for the London Permagard guys. Having spoken to them a week or so ago about removing the white marks from the plastic trim, they called me on Friday saying they had a cancellation on Saturday morning and I could bring the T in. Short notice...

Woah! That's horrendous. No disrespect but Renault have tried to mugg you and will do their best to get away with it. You need to drive it straight back and ask for factory fitted equipment. They've clearly sourced any tyre that has the correct dimensions and chosen the cheapest. Buying the T...

Cue, this is a great idea re the list. Any thoughts or things to check would be really useful. Mine expires at the end of June and I've noticed the ECU bracket has snapped. Is there a way of having this fixed by the stealers to ensure it doesn't break again? I'd expect them to simply change it...

Went to town today and did the two front wheels with AG UDS (Ultra Deep Shine) and the AG EGP as I had them both in the cupboard. Now it's Permaguarded no need for polishes any more! I didn't use the Poorboys 'sealant' as I didn't have that knocking about. Hoolio do you think 'sealing' them will...

Just changed the bulbs today. What a pain it is to do it. Passenger side is just about accessable but the drivers side is a real bitch. For the dipped bulb, on the passenger side I had to unclip the metal clipped to the plastic to remove the bulb, the bulb just wouldn't come out! Drivers side...

VPower everytime for me. It's about 115.9 in my 'hood. Crazily expensive but all fuels are today. I do notice the difference between 99 RON and 95 RON, particulary in the Rallye. The pick up isn't as good with a lover octane fuel. Same in T. I tried BP Ultimate in the rally car and it...

Hoolio, it doesn't matter where you service the T. You are now allowed to take cars to any garage for servicing. You are not tied to main dealers any longer. As long as you have kept to the service schedule is the improtant thing. All warranty work must be done at Renault though. I also...

Really? It seems to cover all the parts the full three year at purchase would. Surely if you break a shaft or a head gasket goes the Renault warranty covers it, therefore not that worthless. Niggling electrical faults that suck hours of diagnostic time should also be covered. The Peugeot...

Yep, expiring soon. Anyone thought about extending the warranty with Renault? Platinum level. Or will a third party provider like the offering via AllVehicles be as good cover and be cheaper? Wouldn't a non Renault warranty offering mean you have to take the T to the garage stipluated by...

Cool. Looks like it was an easy job. Thanks for the pics. Bummer about the colour match. The way it pops out the larger surround and clips into the T's surround couldn't be simpler. Thanks for the 182 part number when you get it. Let me know if the colour match is correct too! Hope it is.

More than likely! :) Would be good to see what your one loks like in the end. Good luck with the transfer without breaking things.

I hear what you are saying TrophyFan about the injection moulding die's etc but the one on ebay is housed in this huge surround. That is nothing like the light in the T, nor is it like the one in Cue's photo. If I bought the ebay one the light section would have to be jemmied out of the...

Tks. That's what I guessed. I'm not going to waste £10 + P&P for a switch that isn't/might not be right. If I want to do the upgrade I'll track down the correct part number from the FF 182. I presume that although the map light is on the drivers side the beam can be directed to the...

They say shampoo only necessary when paint work really grimey. A strong jet with water supposed to work. I reckon you need a strong hose pipe or washer for that alone though. Their shampoo is purely some netural potion that they say doesn't harm the Permagard treatment. I was told that...

Thanks for the Full Fat explanation. Are you saying that I could buy the ebay one, jemmy out the light from the surround it comes with and snap it into place where just the glass sits on the T's interior light? Therefore using the existing interior lights surround. Sounds prone to snapping...

The one on eBay is not the same one as Cue posted on his picture. The surround on this one on ebay (from a 2003 Clio Dynamique) is far larger and is unlikely to fit unless you mind having an unsightly surround that serves no purpose. It may possibly be from one that was fitted with a...

Yep, as I was told. Pressure wash/hose then a water blade or chamos to dry. Couple of drops of shampoo in water and just the weight of sponge to remove grime. No need to apply any pressure. Which is what I'd intend to do with the Microfibre mitt. Unfortunatley I can't use a hose as I don't...

I did use the guys near London City. There are the 'founders' and main owners in the UK. All the other people spread across the UK are franchise owners. For the guys that brought the product and service to the UK it did seem a little strange they weren't totally focused on detail. As I...
