    Rear calipers

    So, I've got that old problem of the handbrake being slack and the rear calipers not functioning properly/not returning the cable. Took it to the garage. I've been told that the calipers and discs need replacing. Apparently the calipers Renault use can be had in unpainted oem generic form for...

I made a temporary fix with some spare hose and clips, but does anyone know what's the best option to replace the fuel lines without paying the £60+Vat...

    Speeding in Italy - points on licence legit?

    Thanks. I think you're right; the fine sure I'm expecting to pay and I understand they pursue these, but it looks like the points are invalid. Again, no mention of this happening to anyone if you pay the fine.

    Speeding in Italy - points on licence legit?

    Hi Wondering if anyone has had a similar situation with speeding abroad. It's taken over 6 months but last week I received a speeding fine from the Italian authorities apparently clocking me at 56mph while I was there last summer in a hire car. The thing is, there's a 160EU or so fine, as well...

    Mine's also quite faded with greasy prints. Any idea where I can buy this textured vinyl to replace it with? Renault will probs want an arm and a leg. That carbon looks mint. Martin

    Dirty Decals / Fading Bits

    Yeah I have this a lot on the F1 decals - like a white staining perhaps from the water. It's most obvious after a wash. Strange, but wax does reduce it significantly - rub it on liberally. I often think of doing this, but I worry it might de-value the car, as the decals perhaps 'make' the F1...
