Was on my way back in to town around 5.30pm this eve, coming round one-way by railway arches just after Preston park & spotted a black RS clio pulled by an unmarked Audi. Driver with short black spiky hair. Unlucky, fella.

Fantastic cars. Really stick to the road.

I have a vague idea what air con does ;) There's a difference between water condensing on the underside of the car where the outside air is in contact with the cold air-con unit; and water vapour extracted from the air inside the car being discharged somewhere at the back of the engine, which...

Is this a joke? I really hope so.

Really? Seemed rather a lot of water - there was a trickle running a few metres down the hill from under the engine. I use the climate pretty much all the time and have never noticed it do that before.

Climate was on, yes. What are you thinking?

Need a little help guys: Noticed a few drips under my car when getting in to drive home this evening. Stopped off on way back for 5 mins and there was a steady trickle from under the engine bay (maybe a quarter teacup's worth) and when I had a look it seemed to be coming from somewhere towards...

Sure it was a 172 on London Road? that's my route back to home. I drive a 182 cupped.

Yep but didn't realise it made that much difference!

I paid £234 (£195 plus VAT) last month for AUX belt change in my 182: £120 + VAT for the kit and £75 + VAT for fitting.

Only after reading the manual for my newly purchased 182 (after having owned a 172 for 2 years previously) did I realise that the bit on the windscreen mentioned above was for parking permits, etc. WTF would you need a hole cut out of the UV especially for that?

Have exactly the same issue with my newly acquired 182. At slower speeds around town it constantly tugs left or right- not violently, but enough so I have to work against it. At moderate motorway speeds it's not particularly noticeable, but on bendy sections at fast motorway speeds I feel a...

Hi Everyone Was a member on here a few years back as the owner of a Monaco 172. I'm back in the saddle again (so to speak) with a cupped 182 I've just acquired, so naturally it was time to renew my subscription. Was up the M23 & M25 and back today, and I must have got boring in my old age...

Spotted you going through the barriers a few times- looked like you got quite a few laps in!

Yes! Also, a pretty cool-looking old BMW M1, a few BMW 2002's in great nik, & a monster-truck type thing with an exhaust the size of the channel tunnel! Shame I never got a dry lap, but hey-ho...

Was there over the weekend- my first time on the ring. Decided against taking my 172 but really wish I had now... There was a healthy contingent of british clios- a few oldies, a couple of 172's & 182's & a trophy (T***PHY). Got chatting with a couple of guys with a Gordini 182 but didn't...

White turinis would look good...

Ha! I saw this in a Halfords carpark near Eastney (Portsmouth) last week- love the mock TVR Sagaris exhausts!!!

I did this for a long trip, but it drove me nuts- got a Tomtom that can connect into my iPod, but no jack input on front of standard cabasse unit, so had to try tuning to radio. Only of any use if you're driving around a very small, localised area & you can find a freq. that's clear- over any...

So true! That's all I can see now...

Saw one for sale recently online- dealer was based somewhere in sussex, I think. Had cream or tan full leather interior- looked very nice indeed.

I took my 172 to the local Renault dealer/service centre in Brighton for some minor routine stuff recently & enquired about px'ing it- I was offered an insulting £2700! The thing I was curious about though, was that they told me they could tell it was an import (this I knew) by the fact that...

Front wash works fine- no probs. Pump is definitely working for rear but takes a long time for any water to come through which is why I thought it might have split- water in hose draining out somewhere in-between uses maybe? Is there one pump operating both washers or are there two separate...

Ah, ok lol! I read it as '....inside iirc' & was wondering which bit the iirc was! Is it an easy job to replace the hose, does anyone know?

sorry, iirc ?

Was wondering where the hose runs for the rear washer, as I think there might be a split in it but not sure how easy it is to check or replace? The pump sounds like it's working fine, but there's a delay of 10 seconds or so before any water comes through, and when it does it's just a trickle &...

This finally explains something which has been bugging me for ages! I'll turn the lumbar support on to full, but after a while I can't notice it any more. I'll turn it all the way down then back again to re-set it, but was never sure if I was just getting used to it being there- as above...

like the little red renaultsport logo!

There was one for sale with Renault in Ashford, Kent about a week & a half ago- modded with induction kit, tints & darker alloys. Looked nice, if a bit loud for my tastes. Seemed a fair bit slower than my non-modded 172 though?!
