    Black & Red Twingo - Cleveleys & Blackpool

    Red one was possibly me as I live in Cleveleys so am always around Morrisons roundabout, have sold it recently though and moved into a Clio 200 :)

    Recaros

    I have a Clio 200 with the Recaros, if you want I can get some measurements/pictures to see if they are too wide?

    K Tec Cat Back exhaust fitting

    Cheers for the replies gents, I've said it before and I'll say it again, you're fast! Well that's not too promising! Might have to reconsider my options. I'd prefer a twin to a single exit, do any of the alternatives offer a twin? I've only seen the Renaultsport one, which is a bit more than I...

    K Tec Cat Back exhaust fitting

    Hi all, Considering a K-Tec Cat Back exhaust for my FF 133, was wondering how difficult it was to fit and whether the original system needs any cutting or welding? I am planning to change car in 12 months and would put the car back to standard for sale, hence not wanting to damage the original...

    Removing wheels

    Why not? It is a pretty widely used method of removing stuck wheels. At half a turn like Frediii says, there is just enough slack to break the bond, but not enough for the wheel to move outwards more than a couple of thou, which will keep it on the hub just fine.

    Your MPG

    Having not bothered checking my MPG for the last 18 months of the 2 years I've owned my Twingo I checked it this weekend. Blackpool -> Birmingham, full car (4 people and a bit of luggage), filled up with V-Power on the way in the morning and reset the trip computer before I even started the...

    Knocking over bumps

    Cheers! You learn something new everyday - this is part of the reason I want a project car, to pull apart and understand how it works. Yes it is a warranty fix, and no the worn tyre is not being touched, partially down to they think it is unrelated, and also as I'm running 205/40/17 tyres up...

    Knocking over bumps

    Thanks again for the helpful posts, those pictures were very helpful Singlespeed! Dropped the car off this morning, got a phone call a bit later to say they *think* they've found the problem and are going to replace both bottom arms next week, hopefully that should solve it. I've not much idea...

    Knocking over bumps

    Again, thanks for the reply - the car is completely standard so no intentional camber adjustment. I am now suspecting either the drop links or the top mounts as they've been mentioned whenever I've mentioned it to anyone. Is there an easy way to test if the fault lies with either of these...

    Knocking over bumps

    Well, it's booked in to Renault for this Thursday to hopefully be mended - whilst having a look at the suspension I noticed the inside of the front nearside tyre is virtually slick! Whether it is related or coincidental I don't know but this is getting expensive already and it's not even been in...

    Knocking over bumps

    Blimey you're a helpful bunch! 20 minutes after and three different people helping, much obliged gents. Going to drop if off at Renault on Friday, at least I have a couple of ideas to put forward (and I can take a look tonight)
