  1. Going to replace the above
    Are the ones from europarts/gsf etc ok or best to buy a renault gen one
    Cheers
     
  2. For the price, might as well buy genuine!
     
  3. Was in same position! They only £26ish, so worth just getting from RenaultUK. However asked Renault to fit and they want £200! A Renault Specialist also wants £150. Absolute rip off, apparently its 2hrs work by their book.
    So pissed off as heard it a 5min job to fit then it is just a coolant flush.
     
  4. Will get mark black to fit
    Only doing it as noticed the odd time doesn't feel as quick and the needle sits on the 2nd mark which is correct, but when giving it stick it drops back about 3mm

    Pffft, got them on shelf matey as they're the same as the 172/182 item.

    Moving in to the new workshop this week though so wouldn't be able to do it until Thursday 8th (and you'd have to let it cool down a bit)
     
  8. £8 for mine, 30 mins max with battery out.
     
  9. Can't you fit it on your driveway lol
    Earliest I can get to yours in the week is 4 pm

    How about Bank Holiday Monday? I've got a Trophy in for belts so you could drop in whenever if you like?

    Just moved about 1/4 mile up the road near the train station. I need help so that means a much larger workshop required. Gone from 1 working bay with no ramp to having 5 bays (3 of which will have lifts before Christmas).
     
  11. Yes Monday is fine mick
    Is 2.30 pm ok
    Good to see you doing well sir
