Re: Radio problem (Dealer says it is normal)

from what i can remember from owning my Megane, once the engine was stopped, everything stayed on, then as soon as the drivers door was opened, all of the electrics, and i mean all, lights, radio, A/C etc etc all switched off!

mine was also a 1.6 dynamique but on a 52 plate

hope this info helps!

Re: Hi I'm new

smart looking car there, loving the R26R spoiler, but some how in my opinion it doesn't look right with those wheels, they look too small for the car! i no, they are standard renault though.

still, good luck, hope you get many happy days of motoring out of it!

Re: photos from world series by renault 08

yeah it does look rather good. my mate who races the clio in the pics above owns a road going 1.2 tce dynamique in black. has had white alloys put on car along with several other bits - car sounds like a beast. but the bit i like the best, is he has the same decals/stickers as the grey 197 clio (wit...

Re: Showroom Shine by Greased Lightning

Re: Showroom Shine by Greased Lightning

well..... i am extremely impressed with the results of the showroom shine. the car looks amazing. i cannot see another way to possibly get a car looking so clean (especially balck), without spending an absolute fortune on a professional valet. the whole "wash" took me about 30mins to do, p...
