Put the car in to have the tracking checked ( nearside front hit pot hole) at Toomeys Basildon. Waited 30 minutes at the Renault service centre having booked the car in only to be told that it was the body shop that did the tracking. Went to the body shop and of course they new nothing about it...

Thanks Foxspeed, I take it the tool in the link you gave, is the one you use? Pete.

Hi, I'm about to replace all disk pads on my 197. Can someone tell me which is the correct tool to wind back the pistons and where to obtain one. Thanks in advance. Pete.

That's fine but a phone call to explain the situation would not have gone a miss. I find it inexcusable not to contact a prospective customer and explain the situation. You my well have other fish to fry but that is still no excuse. I wish you well and I hope that you show more courtesy to...

Contacted the above about having my 197 remapped and a Miltek exhaust, in fact I phoned them twice with a promise of a return call. Nothing. They obviously are making so much money not to be bothered with a poultry 800 quid or so. So they have blown my custom, nothing p***** me off more than...

Here's mine Pete

Disconnected batt for 20 mins, reconnected and gauge now shows full. Thanks to Cooper666 for the suggestion on pulling the batt - it worked. Pete.

Thank's for all your replies. I have been putting small amounts of fuel in so i'm going to pull the batt and see if that helps. Pete.

Anyone have any clues on whether my fuel guage if faulty or the sender in the tank. Problem, gauge showing three quarters full, put fuel in and it only took 3.5 ltrs right to the point of overflowing Guage showed just over three quarters. Done about 25 miles and guage now dropped to just...

No water pump. I've had the car from new, given it some stick on occasions and serviced once a year cos it never gets to 12000 in a year.

Got my cam belt,aux belt plus 36000 service, main dealer £575. Got them to give me the old parts back just to have a look at the wear on the belts. Cam belt looks like new, no rounding of the teeth, aux on signs of cracking or very much wear. Car is 5 years with 34500 on the clock. Pete.

Having had a few quotes for the above, I an amazed at the total apathy of the Renault dealers. Don't phone between 1pm and 2pm because there is no one to take your call. Having told them that I do not want a new air filter or spark plugs their response was "it's included in the service in the...

Ok, sorry but I don't know who Karl is. Can you please tell me how to contact him. Thanks. Pete.

I live in the Essex area, anyone in my location know of a good dealer to get the cam belt done. Please don't say Toomy's. Pete

Gave up on the bolts got some chrome caps off ebay. Had to file each one to get them to fit. I only hope i can get em off when I need to replace my tyres. No way are these going to fall off. Pete.

Does anyone know where I can get black chrome wheel bolts for my 197. On line would be great. Pete

Tanks for the info foxspeed. I take it that the whole front has to come off. Don't fancy paying out for the dealer to do it, is there a quick way? Pete.

Can some one tell me how the header tank is attached. My one is free floating. Don't know how it happened, but I cant see were it fixes to. Thanks in advance. Pete
