    Renault 5 Monaco



    I have been playing with this today. Its my new Village runabout.

    Its getting serviced next weekend by Coalville Renault. Its got one or 2 original tyres on it still so im getting new rubber this week.

    Needs a few exhaust manifold bolts and the tappets setting up but Rog is on with that included in my service LOL.

    My blue 5's called Nicole.

    Dunno about the Beemer though... that's just referred to as either, 'the beemer', 'zim zimma', 'zimmer frame', or just 'my BMW'.

    Yep. I did it to my first car - that white campus. Fitted a full scorpion system.

    That is, if it's all the same on a Monaco as it is on a Campus?

    Update - Incase anyone cares LOL.

    ordered my tyres at 11.15am and they were here by 2pm.

    I went for :-

    Falken SN828 165/65R13 77T.

    They look and smell amazing, the lad in the office hates the smell. I love it.

    OK taken 5 to work this morning to get tyres fitted. made sure i had air in old tyres to drive on.

    Got to work parked up and noticed the car slants to the left. Now i thought this was an optical illusion on my drive way. At work its deffo slanting. Is this a spring issue? shock? its unlikely to be anything to do with the reaer as its on a torsion bar.

    Quick list of potential probs would be good so I can get checking when the wheels come off. (in the workshop i mean)

    Possibility that one of the coil springs has broken making it shorter than the other. Common problem where there's a built up of rust.. it happened on an old Campus of mine yrs ago.

    Yeah man it is 20 year old small car luxury, Once i get the exhaust manifold bolts in it wont sound like a 20 year old french car either.

    Drums are fine when adjusted correctly, not worth the hassle changing to disc beam. Work fine on my van, paint them up if you want them to look better?
