    Top engine mount (drivers side of the engine bay)

    Yeah the part is definitely £50 - or at least was. I had the current one done last December. I'd imaging they're including their shocking labour charges in the quote? First change was under warranty and Mick @ Diamond did the one last year. Took him literally 5 mins to change it. Easy job if...

    Top engine mount (drivers side of the engine bay)

    That's not the top stab bar mate, the part is dealer only as far as I'm aware. I paid £50 for both of mine - yes my car has gone through 3 in 4 years. Chocolate mounts. @ the OP I had exactly the same issue - knock when lifting off when the car was cold - eventually it gets so bad you can...

    Fan speed setting 2 not working

    Hi Guys, Got in the car this morning and none of the air vents blow when the fan speed is set to number 2. Was working last night. All work fine on 1,3 & 4 so not all bad news - but 2 is my standard setting at this time of year! Any ideas what it might be as the motor is obviously still...

    Did you use a reseller to get hold of the part? Or are you in the trade?

    Problem points to look for when buying second hand 200?

    Easier to tell you what not to look for. The engines are usually ok and I haven't had a problem with the head unit..... ....look for everything else!

    Followed home tonight...

    I live in a block of flats so it's electronic gated and entry by fob only. Not too worried to be honest. I rarely park in my actual space either because people just park anywhere, so they'd never know which number I live at anyway. I don't expect the police to be able to do anything with the...

    Followed home tonight...

    Not sure if this could be related to the recent spate of thefts in the Nottingham area but someone tried to follow me home tonight. Was most of the way home when a Corsa SRi wheelspun out of a petrol station as I went past - only reason I noticed to be honest. At first just thought it was some...

    Annoying Rattle

    Is the sound internal or external? I had a couple of rattles on mine - one was the left portion of the rear seat. The catch was rattling so just stuck some tape round it to stop that one. The 2nd was a rattle on bumpy roads when turning right - this turned out to be my boot catch - just...

    Hissing noise over speed bumps

    Yeah oem replacements, done at Diamond Motors so they've been done properly and the car feels much better. Just the noise that made me anxious. Every time I hear a new noise i've got the radio off, windows down listening for it, which on these cars is every other day lols.

    Stolen white 200 - nottingham

    Highly probable that's what's happening. Posted which area I live in on cliosport and then two days later someone tried to break in to mine. Pretty sure they were after the car too because they were careful not to damage anything when trying to get in (luckily) but failed. Mine was the only one...

    Stolen white 200 - nottingham

    I live not far from you then mate. I doubt it's still around this area but I'll keep my eyes peeled anyway.

    (new member) Gearbox issues - flabbergasted!!?

    Ah 4th syncro failure - mine went at 17k miles lol. Let us know how you get on. If you need I can PM you my Reg no# as they acknowledged mine was bad straight away. I also logged a formal complaint with Renault so they'll definitely have it on their system. Steve

    Black 197 @ Diamond Motors

    She gets cleaned religiously mate - lol got to keep the value up on it! Yeah feels loads better - felt a bit soft in corners and had a knock over bumps that was getting worse. Spot on now. Not a cheap job though!

    Stolen white 200 - nottingham

    Gutted for you mate. Someone tried to get into mine despite being in a gated car park about a year ago - can't imagine what it would be like to wake up and find it's gone! Where abouts in Nottingham are you? I'll keep my eyes out.

    Hissing noise over speed bumps

    Hissing noise over speed bumps

    Hi guys, had my shocks and top mounts replaced last week but after a few days I've started to get a hissing type sound when dropping off speed bumps. I can't win! If this happened and I hadn't had the shocks replaced already, I'd would have thoughts the shocks were the cause straight away - but...

    What car do you want next?

    Scirocco GT or a scirocco R. Depends how much travelling I'm doing in about 6 months time when I seriously start looking.

    temporary not starting - tonight

    Crank position sensor (aka tdc sensor) only about £30 for the part. Had the same thing in the warm weather earlier in the summer. It will appear temporary but it's dependent on outside temp. If it's hot then you'll have the same problem every time you go to start it after a drive. I got stuck...

    My Renault Dealership

    Bristol street motors have bought out Sunwin/co-op motor group. The one on Haydn road on Nottingham is still open, although you'll have to make 5 trips before they acknowledge there's a problem. They also forgot to change my spark plugs at 36k service.
