    R27 - Is This Price What To Expect?

    The problem is that garages and private sellers value their cars greater than the price that Glass or Parker's give... Which makes it a nightmare when you write of your car like I've just done! You're correct about the brembos. Quarter glass sills are usually around £20 a side, but there's a...

    Goodbye Goose

    The free glasses figure is £5500 for a 70,000 mile car...mines nearer 50 but I'm not sure how much that affects it. For the moment I'm trying to get them to replace it.

    First offer of £4200 in from the insurance.... Rejected, obviously. No news on how much they'll sell it to me for yet

    Didn't know you were a pilot, metalpen? To be honest, he's pretty lucky to even get fright work!

    Do I have a catback exhaust?

    If it has become progressively louder I'd be paying particular attention to the flexis joining the manifold to the cat... If they've burst it can work out £££. Not to worry you or anything!

    Goodbye Goose

    Yep. Would be uninsurable for the rest of my life I think! Whose idea was it to put his stable next to a road, anyway?

    Goodbye Goose

    Nail on the head, l/o oversteer doesn't normally happen unless I'm well up the rev range though but that's probably what happened. I might buy the Clio back and part it...depends on the price I get quoted! So get queuing.

    Goodbye Goose

    Thanks guys. Im unsure if they'll pay out because I'm always sceptical of insurance companies...there's always small print. The car is 100% a write off. The evaluator called to say that he totalled £8000 worth of repairs before giving up counting...he hadn't even looked under the car at that...

    Goodbye Goose

    Not your usual good-bye thread... I, unfortunately, wrote it off last week! I arrived home after work last Thursday only to get a last minute invite for dinner (naturally, I accepted), it was a warm evening so I thought I'd take the Clio out for a run as it hadn't been driven since the...

    No Power

    Mine currently has a lack of power coupled with loads of induction noise and no error codes. Diagnostics shows a cam position sensor malfunction and a knock sensor reading - it's going to Renault tomorrow to get sorted so I'll let you know how it goes. Fairly serious errors, particularly as...

    Get the g3 clay mitt from halfords. Much quicker than clay bars.

    INTERIOR LED's

    eBay or Amazon ones are just as good as the ones at halfords etc - they're all made in china. Try to go for ones with a warranty because about 20% will fail within a few months. The 5 led plastic ones are notorious for being poorly made, the canbus and aluminium ones tend to fair better. Bulbs...
