I have, partly because I bought a house a few years ago so couldn't change, but a lot of the reason is because I've become a bit too attached to it.

Sorry, it's done 91k.

I am selling my Clio trophy, #083. It was registered Seeptember 2005 and I have owned it since September 2007. It's got a full service history, the bulk of which has been completed at Birchdown. The Cambelt was changed September 2010, the auxilliary belt September 2013 and the dampers...

I keep looking at changing and looking at the mini cooper S to benefit from lower running costs, but I know I won't look at it and smile and then drive it and smile even more in the same way I do with the trophy. With buying a house and then likely getting a pay cut I'll be sticking with the...

My doors handles definately seem to be fading slowly to pink, despite all the waxes and sealants I've had on since owning it. Is it possible that the damage can be done early on but not show for a few more years, I only picked up the trophy when it was 2 years old and judging by some of the...

I got banned from there, apprarently it was offensive me posting my opinions on their thread full of people boasting about their criminal convictions, some of them for vehicle crime too. Oh well, I've always preferred this forum anyway.

Quite a few Renaultsports around me so I don't bother, especially as most seem to look the sort that wouldn't have a clue that there werre forums for car geeks out there. Trophy owners are a different matter though, much more likely to get a wave back, and as I hardly ever see one it's still a...

I've got the supersport, it's definately louder than the standard system, but not too intrusive once you get used to it, I;'ve done a few motorway miles the last 6 weeks and it hasn't bothered me once. I did think it was a bit loud the first few weeks for day to day use and that I should have...

The best bet for flies is prevention, a decent layer of wax will help prevent them bonding to the paint and etching in if you get them off quickly enough. Once they've made home on your bonnet I find snow foaming before washing the car helps loosen them, and if they're really stubborn Chemical...

I've just had the full 5 year service for mine done at Birchdown just outside Malpas. £630 for the service including fitting brake discs supplied by me and Renault pads supplied by them, and resealing the exhaust the cat to centre pipe join an my exhaust to get it through the lambda test on the...

Autosol for me, then in between proper scrubs with it I use either brasso wadding or mr sheen metal wipes depending on how dirty it 's got.

Mine hasn't been tracked but it gets plenty of random drives. Living about 25 mins from the evo triangle and other North Wales roads that are even better I don't have to go far for a bit of fun. It hasn't had quite so many fun drives recently, but I realised I've had it 3 years tomorrow so...

Yozzasport's site was www.yozzasport.co.uk. It's been down for a couple of weeks though and they didn't respond to my order for brake discs or any of the emails I sent chasing an update. I now can't get an email through to them so I'm not sure if it's just a problem with their ISP or that...

Mine's in Birchdown now having the cambelt done, their prices are reasonable so even after paying fuel it might work out cheaper than some garages getting it done, and they do plenty of 182 cambelts so should know what their doing.

Is that the proper Renault extended warranty ? Maybe I should have gone for it, I'm pretty sure both my dampers are beginning to need a refurb, they don't seem to have lost gas but there is some leakage and I haven't got the confidence in it I used to have.
