    CLIO WILLIAMS ENGINE OIL?

    HELLO I'M NEW What engine oil should i use for my clio williams? Reg vardy are a waste of time, they are suppose to be the dealership for Renault yet don't have a clue about which engine oil to use for the sport version cars! They don't even stock Elf or Total engine oil!

    warranty

    I'm looking to get my service done and geometry setup sorted by Mark Fish Motorsport and i've bought some of the much hyped Silkolene Pro S for the oil change, but i'm worried this will invalidate the warranty as it's not a Renault recognised part? Apparently, they need to see receipts for all...

    12'000 mile service!

    I am just coming up to my 12k service and I have been quoted £221.47 by my dealer!! I personally think thats a bit steep! Do you invalidate your warranty if you go elsewhere to get it serviced? If not then does anyone know of somewhere decent around the Salisbury area?

    Got a quote for a 12,000 mile service...

    It was £121.23 with me providing the oil. What has everyone else paid? It has only just clocked up 10,000 miles but I have decided to get it done early. Also, how many miles have you had from the front tyres before having to replace them? Brian

    First Service

    Had the 1st 12000 miles service on friday, luckily i didnt pay for the service because when i picked it up the guys in the garage had spilt petrol in the car and it stank, so as a good will gesture they picked up the cost. Also, any ladies/gents had the problem with the spray paint rubbing...

    First Service

    Ooooh the time is rapidly approaching that i'm going to need to take the car in and have a service done. Are you guys planning to take the car to Renault or another garage to have the service done. I've heard that having the service done outside Renault will no longer invalidate the...

    Tesco 99 RON...

    After months of waiting our local Tesco's have just got the 99 RON fuel in. Since I got the Trophy in October it's always ran on Shell Optimax so thought I'd stick a tank full of Tesco's special in. Bloody hell, if you can find a Tesco's that sell it then stick a tank full in, I burnt £25...

    Castrol 5w-30= OK?

    I think I am going to change the engine oil to be safe (currently at almost 7k miles). Rather than putting in Elf, I was considering going to Castrol Edge 5w-30 (they don't make a 5w-40). Do you guys think there would be an issue with this (either with it being Castrol Edge or being...

    Oil again...

    What oil have Renault loaded the Trophy up with from new? Through my other posts here, I was advised not to go to a fully syn after 1000 miles as the oil would be too thin etc, and that I should keep the running in oil in there, but would Renault really tell us to leave a running in oil in...
