Sorry to hear about that. Halfords are doing a buy one get one free on all car cleaning chemicals, ie polishes, waxes, shampoos. Just got myself two of these: http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stor ... yId_165609

Yeah I've read all those before, but then I think if you're in the business of selling oils, then I wouldn't say oilman's comments are completely impartial. But to your question, Mobil 1 (0w-40) is also a hydrocracked mineral and was confirmed by Mobil technician's response on the Fiat Coupe...

There's also a thread on another forum where someone took a sample of Halfords fully synthetic oil to be chemically analysed: http://bbs.scoobynet.com/scoobynet-gene ... d-oil.html My car is not heavily tuned or has forced induction, so for me I think Halfords stuff more than meets my car's...

Anything 5w-40 fully synthetic that meets ACEA A3 B3 B4 standard, don't see the point in spend mega money on PAO/Ester based oil when you won't notice any difference whatsoever. Before my service, I changed my oil with Halfords 5w-40 fully synthetic as they had an offer on at the time.

Re: Low Mileage no 207 for sale £8750 New front disks and pads in 12k miles?

I wouldn't worry about gains in power as they will be minimal and most likely won't notice any difference. They are also pretty much as well built as each other, so just go by how it sounds and price. I have the Scorpion rs192 and is one of the quieter systems, slightly louder and deeper than...

They're standard fitment on all French cars, they're for creating that annoying rattle from behind the dash, yours is broken so you won't get that authentic French rattle anymore.

I need to have mine done and got the following quotes: Renault, Waters - Letchworth = £770 (inc 20% discount) Renault, Wests - Bedford = £632 (inc 20% discount) Renault, Smiths - Peterborough = £672 (inc 20% discount) Ashby Clio Specialists - Cranfield = £586 ("may be able to throw in a minor...

Came across this, just to give you an idea how its done http://www.evo.co.uk/videos/planetevovi ... video.html

I've had the Scorpion RS192 for year and a half or so, fits perfectly, no rattles, discrete under normal driving conditions, sounds great when giving it the beans. Recommended for the "more mature" drivers who prefers discretion rather than big bore JDM style backbox CorsaBoy loudness,...if you...

I had this on my car a while back. I do short drives to the station and back everyday. Took it out on for an hour long blast in the hope that it will clear everything out burn off any carbon deposits etc. The following day no more emissions light! Now I always make sure I take the time on...

If the car turns over normally but fails to start, then that usually points to either fuelling problem or there is moisture on the electrical system. In this instance you could spray WD40 on the electrical connectors on the HT leads and coilpack and fuel and ignition connectors.

...yes very nice, but still wouldn't want them to sh@t on my car!!!

My wife has also put the rim protector to the test and it failed badly!! My fault, should have known better since she also seems to like playing the road going version of dot-to-dot hitting all pot holes, man-hole covers, fresh road kill etc.

I replaced mine last summer and I'm afraid to say, its also a real mess as you also have to undo the bottom hose on the rad. Plus the clip holding the hose is a a real bitch to get off and not helped by the lack of space to work in. I just used Halfords ready made coolant, it's red instead of...

If there is a leak in the exhaust, there will be sooty deposits around the leak. I had the emissions light come light up on my car recently. Took it out for hour long blast to heat up the CAT good and proper and blow out all the crud (soot, water, unburnt fuel etc) that accumulates in the...

I've just renewed mine. My renewal with Aviva came to £333. A bit disappointed since it cost £270 last year with them. Used confused.com to get some quotes. Went with Admiral for £251 with £350 excess. Result!

Unichip and Scorpion RS192

My alarm beeps three times when I lock it. Usually occurs when I've turned the car off, immediately get out and lock the car when in a hurry. If I wait 10 seconds or so from when the door closes before activating the alarm, it doesn't beep. Also noticed that when parked up, I open the door...

I had the same problem and I think its to do with the cold weather we've been having and the short journeys I normally do. My theory is because of these factors, the engine runs richer for longer leaving more carbon deposits and CAT and sensors never gets hot enough to burn it all off. So took...

And there I thought the Trophys were rare and exclusive!

Brrrrr....pretty cold this morning, bring on global warming I'd say!

I wondered when it would be back on. Cheers for the heads up!! (tupw)

I've removed the A/V and when cold, pick up from low revs is improved. The engine used to grumble below 2k revs (a bit like when you try and accelerate from 5th from 10mph). I also replaced the 2 squashed cr@ppy felt tubes that fed the airbox with flexible aluminum hoses. The a/v is used to...

The bolt spacing on the front shocks.

The Clio is CAT 2 rated as the standard alarm doesn't have a proximity sensor. http://www.thatcham.org/security/index. ... =75&c=cat1

The blip doesn't doesn't turn off the immobilizer, the key has a coded transponder in it that deactivates the immobiliser when you place the key in the ignition and turn to position 1. The car won't start without your key, hence why alot of car theives break into houses to get the cars keys...

When I had my shock replaced by Renault (under warranty), they also replaced the top mounts as they too were shot. My invoice says this: R60 01 025 850 - Spacer S/A - £14.84 R77 00 415 728 - Bush Supp - £14.28 R77 01 207 806 - Absorber mount - £49.30 R77 03 034 268 - Nut - £2.14 R82 00 514 733...
