Thanks Dan - that’s super helpful

Hi all, spotted this on car and classic and it looks pretty reasonable price wise. I know it’s a cat d but it’s also donkey years old so to be expected to a degree and it’s had a respray. Anyone know this car? Or any details on it? Thanks...

Ah good advice. I will send some better pictures and videos this week. As I just took the pic from Google rather than my car.. I am pretty sure if I start using any sprays or cleaning the paint will just come off..

Hi all, just starting to do some light refurbing of my phase 1 172 The top dash is blue but it’s very sticky and the paint is coming off when you touch it. Any ideas or suggestions how best to clean it up? I am thinking removing the dash / degreasing it and then a respray. As the paint is...

That’s not normal. Not in any of the Clio’s I have owned can I say it’s done that.. have you tried another throttle body?

Hey all, Gavin has kindly sold me his phase 1 172. Super easy to deal with just how car sales should be Car is in great ship and drove well on the 160mile trip home last night to Bristol.. will give it a clean tomorrow and then planning to get the arches done over the winter, take the interior...

The napa alternators are meant to be rubbish and means the car doesn’t run well certainly under load. Worth changing for a second hand one. I did try one in my racecar and quickly binned it off

He’s retired unfortunately

This is awesome. I watched that auto Alex video and was like yes I want a Williams Clio and then saw loads which were worse than the titanic or the price of a 911, but lack the budget or know how of how to fix one Good luck with it and post lots of pics..

I use admiral for 4 cars and a van / they’ve been ok or ers is decent for fleet insurance with better cover and excesses for your vehicles Thanks

Thanks all, this is super helpful. I didn’t realise that it had been for sale for a year plus, that says quite a bit Also the non phase 1 parts aren’t ideal.. I think I will take a punt and buy a 200k one for cheap and fix it up from there.. at least I know what I am getting into. Thanks

Ah interesting - on Autotrader or elsewhere do you know?

Hi all, Found this phase 1 in my search for one and this seems a bargain in the current market. It’s had the sills, arches and belts done plus a respray http://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/202308070525046?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios-app Am I missing something or do you think as it’s...

Yep agree with this - get the Jon fonz mounts and the trendlines or similar.. Steering wheel is a good addition too and then get a nice exhaust on it and pound for pound you can beat them..

So here’s my view after and still owning a lot of Clio’s namely phase 1 172, 182’s, 197, 200 and then a 220 trophy In my view for a weekend and track toy a 182 is the best in my opinion. They feel and drive much better than a mk3 / noise and enjoyment from driving is better A mk3 is quicker...
