Beast, K4M 1.6 16v goes well, every option on it apart from xenons, its got climate, electric sunroof, cabasse stereo with 6 disk changer, Traction Control, Cruise Control. 55k miles on it

 

[Beef-Mc]

Nice one bud, really like the colour.

First thing you should buy for it is a spare pencil coil.

 

[YorkshireDaz]

I really like that mate!

Nice spec.

 

[jordan172]

LOL, wish I would have known that when I first bought mine. I now carry two spare.

 

[Martin_172]

lol they a common fault on these?

 

[Ben]

Looks nice that mate. Very smart! Btw whats a pencil coil?

 

[Beef-Mc]

I've just replaced one on mine, cars only done 40K and I've only had the car two months.

 

[.GAZ.]

Best bit of advice for any 1.4/1.6 owner.

I think im on my 3rd!

 

[clio_mad]

I replaced 2 within two weeks of owning mine.

 

[Jamie]

What has happened to the 172?

 

[Mickb]

nice like your cheery reds eh

 

[Martin_172]

What has happened to the 172?

sitting in my garage with no suspension and brakes on waiting on my bilstein B14's coilovers coming and HiSpec 300mm 4 pots

get the new style coils on there better.

nice like your cheery reds eh

lol yeah! coils from a mk3 mate? its got a warranty on it but if it gives a load of problems ill swap them!

Let you off then

 

[Domobaby]

Are we talking Coil packs here im confused? :s

Btw nice motor mate I got my 1.6 about a month ago and it's doing me well at the moment. Just a shame mines 5dr, 3dr's (like yours) look a lot better.

 

[Greeny.]

looks mint

I guess we're talking ignition coils, instead of plugs, they are VERY prone for going on 1.4/1.6's

 

[Domobaby]

Mine is having some dodgy idling issues at the moment. Oh and on the topic of pencils.... Get rid of the pencil di*k aerial lol

 

[BREMBO]

Nice Sir

Another gem of a Clio Martin, great find. How do these go in comparison to your dci 100 or your old 1.2 16v?

 

[Martin_172]

would hammer a 1.2 16v, quicker than the dci untill 80, dci pulls quicker over 80mph. not sure if it handles as well as the dci, it felt better at first but then once i got back in the dci it felt better with the heavyer steering, although both are running cheap tyres at the moment so its hard to tell.

 

[Mickb]

1.6s are good wee cars only petrol id get other than the sport tbh

 

[Martin_172]

yeah agreed we had looked at a few 1.4 16v's for her too due to slightly cheaper insurance but didnt see the point when for the same price we could have the extra 10bhp and more torque so 1.6 it is, one thing i will say though is the mpg seems to be around the same as you would get from a 172, 2 or 3 more i was getting doing similar driving compaired to what id get in the 172, which makes it a strange choice when you have the dci to consider too. but anyone who cant afford to insure a 172 and doesnt want or is fed up of a 1.2 16v then try one of these.

Excactly my reason for buying

 

[Martin_172]

dci 100 would be my choice hands down after driving both BUT we all know how rare they are even compaired to the 1.6 16v!

 

[kevin.s]

nice tidy car mate

 

[Tigger]

Nice one Martin

 

[rctempire]

Excellent martin. You seem to like clios, not venturing off to other brands yet?

 

[Brett]

Excellent spec that martin. Like it.
