Hi I need a new battery and wonder if it's worth paying a little more than what Renault sell? A Bosch Silver HSB063 (£90) gets very good reviews on Halfords website the main - the main comment is it's very powerful. It also comes with a 5 yr warranty. One from Renault is £65. They are all...

i want to clean the top of the tailgate window where it meets the roof spoiler but the gap is too tight to get anything up there, wondering if i just loosen the bolts a bit it will create a gap big enough to get a cloth in? am i right in thinking its held on with 2 small screws at either side...

Hi all, I don't drive my T throughout the winter and over this period of time I SORN it off the road. My T is still off the road in my garage and has not been started up or moved in over 5 months. I'm worried that leaving the engine off in the same position over this length of time will cause...

Well, after getting loud donging noises when maneuvering, and people on here saying the top mounts would cause it, the garage I use also confirmed this. Ktec said to use engine oil to lubricate the top mounts last week, which i did, from within the engine bay, but it made no difference. I was...

I hope my boss isn't a visitor to this site because today I was working from "home"... Home was in fact ProSpeed in Cardiff. Turned up first thing this morning for a cat-back 2.5in system with 2.5in cat mod and slash-cut 3.5in exits. Charlie and the guys did a great job, I was on the road by...

I'm asking this question because I noticed that the jacking points along the sill are quite weak and one folded back slightly. I don't want it to happen again so are there any other points where the car can be jacked up to reduce the risk of bending the "rail" that runs beneath the sills? Thanks.

Evening all. After owing my Trophy for a few years now my mate has finally decided that "it's one of the best cars i've been in" (in terms of unbelievable grip). He has driven it plenty of times and everytime he is amazed at its ability, so he decided to get shut of his diesel and go for...

I don't have the aptitude, tools, inclination or time to fit a set of rear Konis myself so... Do I engage the services of my local independent garage where the mechanic was VAG-trained and looked after my VW for 8 years? Or do I take #455 to the nearest RS specialist, which I guess would be...

My car has always struggled to start on the first go in cold weather. Usually one turn of the key fires then dies, second turn is an instant startup. I have never worried much about it, I just assumed that it was some kind of fuel pressure / priming sort of thing going on. The only other...

A mate has asked me to do a cam belt and a clutch on his 182. :shock: Rather than do a clutch, and then a cam belt separately, I thought it would be easier to take the complete engine and gearbox out. I have good workshop facilities with a wheel free hoist and a block and tackle, so no...
