Re: Will Spax lowering springs ruin the ride comfort?

yep no other issues just slap them on. i didnt have any issues with my tyres etc. have a look about you should be able to find them for less than £100 inc delivery. shouldnt cost you much to get them fitted, if your mechanically minded and have a trolly jack you can do the backs yourself, just a ca...

Re: rear brake discs

it was my understanding that the bearings and disks came as one part for all non-rs megane IIs, hopefully someone can clarify. What year/spec is your car?

Re: serious problem

just reading your third post, I bought a replacement UPC from Renault Kettering as it looked a fairly easy swap.

My megane was missing the access cover when I bought it, I didn't realise and it cost me a UPC then ultimately an ECU as well. Both parts had to be supplied/fitted...

Re: Roof bars and Roof box

there are a few cars on here with roof bars, some with sunroofs. I can't imagine the sunroof to be an issue, if you keep it closed and don't drop anything!

Re: Where is the air con valve to recharge it?
