    err it does when i click. Its nice in yellow
     
  8. Mattyb what's up with the clutch
     
  9. HPI clear? as it has the wrong front grill on.
     
  10. Welcome
     
  11. Yeah its hpi clear and i never noticed the grill.

    I was told the clitch has started slipping so there putting a new one on.
     
  12. Has it got history ??
    Not that it matters too much suppose
     
  13. it has some history but no record of timing belt, so thats the first job.

    it has 6 months warranty too so if theres anything wrong, it will be going back.

    not even drove it yet, but i had a 172 engine converted clio and loved it, so i cnt wait to pick it up
     
  14. Did you pay extra for the warranty
    He asked me if I want extra one but got one cheaper elsewhere
    Can he not get the water pump and timing lot cheaper for you ??
    Especially if he is doing the clutch
     
  15. Its just the basic warranty im getting with it.

    I think he probably could get timing belt n pump done cheaper but i would rather an ecmxperienced renault mechanic done it.

    Clutch should be done now too, was going to be ready for monday, but im away at work until at least next monday so will have to wait to collect it
     
  16. Any of you guys found a specialist in the north east.

    Iv spoke to alpina automotive (ithink) and was quoted 580 for timing belt and water pump
     
  17. DTM mate
    Pm you
     
  18. Thanks guys. 406 is a good price. Most other places are around the 600 mark.

    spoke to garage this morning and the clutch the ordered was the wrong one so they went to renault desler and bought one so car eont br ready for a few more days.

    Although that doesnt matter as i wont be home until monday at least anyway
     
  19. I'd definitely take it to Andy @ Clioturbo, he's a trader on cliosport.net also.

    Are they changing the flywheel & slave as well as the clutch?
     
  20. That is one mint looking Meg ! Welcome.

    I work in Wallsend but live on Teesside, might spot you in between the 2.
     
  21. I work in wallsend as well have you got a black R26 by any chance?
     
  22. I very much doubt that they will change those too. But im handy with a spanner so i can change those myself if ever needed.

    I was just working at teeside recently
     
  23. Used to have a black R26, now got a black 265
     
  24. Ah ok. I've seen a black R26 round work recently. I work at SMD on Davy bank. Where do you work?
     
  25. I work next door at OGN ! I've seen the black R26 a few times
     
  26. Ah great! Things are quiet aren't they?! I flash (my lights) if I see you
     
  27. Alright lads I live in blaydon prior to that North Shields! Always going by ogn in my black r26 through wallsend!

    As for a specialist, the best I know of in North East is TW and S Barker on pottery lane Newcastle city centre! Good service Renault specialist, cheap and very knowledgeable!
     
  28. I think I have driven past you a few times near work on Davy Bank and driving through wallsend.
