you have a better car, if you use your head and don`t spin the wheels too much you will win, it`s all about power to weight, take your spare wheel out and everything else which could slow you down before you leave home (don`t call me if you have a flat though!;) ) be confident, make sure you...

The blue isn`t dark enough for me so black for me too.....:cool: I like white too imho looks sort of pure motorsports colour looks great on lots of cars from Pug`s to mk1 &2 Golfs BMW`S Audi`s and of course Renaults :cool:

:D Thanks very much mate

...............me too, i picked my car up today, fiddled with the seats and put some optimax in, when i came out of the garage the light was on....so it was hopefully me messing around then! much thanks alex s and everyone else incidentally my car is flipping brilliant, what a car! i love it

mate, any chance of you telling me who did it for you please? i`m in Uttoxeter so 20 mins from Stoke

I`m picking up my "import" today, Motorplus of Derby imported it and it`s had 1 pivate owner, 04 reg. and 40,000 miles, it was imported from a garage in France. The seller Sarah Cox in Notts told me this whilst i was looking at the car. I have bought it because it was the best one i could find...

When was it last serviced, how many miles etc...... Does the car have a maf (a mass air sensor) these are usually made by Bosch and are positioned after the airbox on the way to the injector. When i had my Golf GT Tdi mine went the car`s mpg dropped from 45 to about 22 so if it has one it could...

When

It`s a ferrari ( go on tell me i`m clever!) , i wouldn`t give you jack sh*te for it, they are a bunch of ******* I wouldn`t have it outside any house, i`d give it to Flavio Briatore and i`d take pictures of him and it when he burnt it...

.....buy one then dude! either a 172 or a 182, full fat? cup? it doesn`t really matter does it? just buy one, they are cheap enough now!

Wheels are sh*te, colour?.........nah it`s not nice is it? I`d much rather have a silver, blue black or red one etc.... there are plenty of better colours out there (....................i m h o )

£1.00 per litre is £4.50 per gallon, £45.00 = 10 gallons, 370 miles is 37 to the gallon. It`s only approximate but on your figures it works great. the figures you quoted made it easy to work out. .....rah, the 172 is a bloody economy car, my wifes old zetec escort 1.8 never did 37 mpg! :)

He he! i`m getting my 172 tomorrow, when i had my Alfa 2.0 i used to average about 27 so 36 will be an economy car for me, less weight and over 20 bhp more than the mp too! ha ha i`m so happy! :) edit: mp = money pit!

Who did the replacement aux belt? did you ask them to put the old parts in a bag in the boot? I laughed when my dad told me to ask the garage to do this i had an Alfa 156 MP at the time but if this sort of thing happens then you are bound to question the workmanship! I would put money on it that...

Can someone tell me the recommended service intervals for a Clio 172 please? do they have minor and major services, is there a dash light ? and when should the belts, cam & aux be changed ? thanks
