Around £450 to £600 before selecting any options, although that’s with my current NCD being applied which is in use on my other car now. AA don’t appear to do multicar like my previous insurer who mirrored the NCD.

Just a heads up that the specialists seem to be unable to quote for my postcode. I live in the north east area of Greater Manchester.

I have just found the topic where I discussed the rust traps and other's provided their input as well: https://cliosport.net/threads/clio-172-182-hidden-rust-traps.832217/

They also rust between the fuel tank and body on the driver side, up high so essentially beneath the rear seat but above what you can easily access. I think to properly resolve would require dropping the tank. My theory is that in another five years, the cars will best be dismantled into the...

Thanks for the replies, given me a few to try. The car is stock specification.

Hi, I have a 2004 Renaultsport Clio 182 which is not currently my everyday vehicle. Who are the insurance favourites right now? FYI - Greenlight will not quote with my postcode. Thanks,

Hi, Thank you for the help, I found a local place in Rochdale who have replaced the centre box with what looks like a clam shell item. Car appears to run okay and does not appear to have any obvious reduction in performance (thinking of potential gas restriction?). Thanks,

Hi, Rear arches were rolled from factory according to the workshop manual. Thanks,

Hi, What do you use to coat them? I was using an expensive UV resistant wax after doing a "restoration" but it only seemed to delay the inevitable by about 12-24 months. Alternatively has anyone replaced the plastic covers on their xenon headlights? Thanks,

Hi, Is there a directory or list somewhere of good Renaultsport specialists in both North West and West Yorkshire? Being based in the north eastern outskirts of Greater Manchester does put me in the realm of no-man's land of Renaultsport specialists it appears! Thanks,

Hi, I will investigate local exhaust shop options. Does the centre silencer do a lot on these exhaust systems? Thanks,

Hi, Thanks - is that not also a decat pipe according to the RS192 website? I would like to retain the cat to save hassle come MOT and for the car to not flag up warning lights. Thanks,

Hi, My Clio has an RS192 fitted which appears dated 07-12 (presuming that means 2012). The centre silencer box has fractured where there are pipe support stays and also where the pipe enters into the silencer box. A couple of weeks ago I emailed RS192 via the website email address and have...
