handbrake light can be a few things, low brake fluid, the wiring has melted together, the handbrake switch has shorted. |

im gonna guess its the handbreak switch, as oil is max and the wiring seems good.
been like it for a while, but i dont fancy carpets up job just to turn off a light.
so will save it for a while. |

I must admit I think Infinicar is very professional compared to the usual metal monkey I've dealt with claiming to be a breaker/scrapyard runner.
Also Paul seems very friendly the few times I've spoke with him and he's always responded promptly when I've made an enquiry about parts.
People might think Paul charges high but at the end of the day he's a business man and if he knows people will pay high for the popular parts then he'd be stupid not to ask for that amount of money.
Just my ten pence anyway. |

i have bought a couple of items from infinicar and have spoken to Paul too, i agree with Ben, Paul is very helpful and knows his renaults.
He supplied me with a PAS Rack which had all the pipes removed properly and packaged seperatly and he dug me out one which had nearly new track rods and track rod ends on it with delivery £60
my local renault breaker 4 miles up the road wanted £60 for a PAS Rack which looked in a worse state than the one i wanted to swap out, had the pipes cut and the remains of them still bolted into the rack and looked like it needed the trackrod ends replacing. |
