Chris, mine is doing the same. Is it a warranty job? Or do you have to pay... Cheers Ben

Come on! You cant have everything. If the car wasnt clean before it went in and came out clean youd be happy. In my experience most people kick up one hell of a fuss if the car isnt sparkling when it comes out, even for a minor repair. Its a courtesy to clean the car, if you dont want it...

I definatly think that music is either from Jungle / Desert strike. Forget the Williams, look at the Twingos. Thats our German friends for you.

I must drive mine HARD. I have a 1.2 16v and get 39 when I drive it nice and slowly. 34 when I decided to treat her rough. Is that very bad?

Bit late but do you live around that area?? I live about 2 minutes away from Cost-cos. Fair few Cups / RSs about.

This was posted the other day but I spotted a lime green V6 this afternoon on the M11 heading towards Cambridge. I was driving a Green 95 going the other way. Lovely colour anyway.

Ive had my 53 reg 1.2 16v for about 17 months and not a single reported problem so far. Got through 7 tyres on it and a set of brake pads and discs. But it deserves it. (By the way majority of tyres were punctures) My sunroof rattles, the car idles erraticly and the radio cuts out but in all...

Did you see a clio sport sticker?

Nothing to do with the CC thing but I have pulled the handbrake before through panicking. Lights went red, I was going to fast and someone coming accross me had obviously jumped the gun as he was going as ours hit amber. I sh*t myself, anchored up, ABS kicked in and I was still not slowing down...

All I can say is Ive done 20k in just over a year. And that has been 75% hard urban driving and the rest A roads and Motorways. Not a single problem with it so far, needed about 8 new tyres as I seem to attract punctures and one indicator bulb blown. Not bad for a year of thrashing.

I pay £185 a month for my Dynamique!!! Bloody hell.

OK then. Will do when I return from the pub. Any idea what sort of price Id be looking at from Renault for a set? Wouldnt need tyres as I can get them cheaper than most places. Why is it everytime I get in my car I think of a different "subtle" thing to waste money on.

I work for a parts place. Got bored the other day, bought some Silver Lexus lights purely because I couldnt be arsed to specify black, fitted them, didnt like them and sold them on to a mate pretty much what I paid for them thanks to a nice little discount. Now got a spare set of standard...

While Im still moaning about my car, without wanting to sound like a "chav" pikey here. I got an extra set of lights (standard) off a mate the other day to experiment with. There is black light paint apparantly which is £16 and just tints your lights a bit. Im not going to mod my car, just...

Having looked at my finances it looks as though Im going to be stuck with my 1.2 Clio for another year or so paying off the HP. Not good as I want something different but I may as well play with it while I have it. Im basically thinking of a new set of wheels... but I dont want anything that...
