Hello, I have one or two scuffs on my black gold 182 that are down to the undercoat, and generally the paintwork has swirl marks from poor washing by the previous owner - just wondering if anyone could recommend either a valeter or a bodyshop in the London area (pref north) which can do SMART...

Hello thanks for the info so far - i am not convinced it is the mirror as it does sound like it is under the bonnet - however no my aux belt hasnt been changed yet, I am still to do the 36k service, when the engine starts from cold sometimes there is usually a whining sound for a while (I have...

Hello I have an 04 182 (done 34k) and since I have had it for about a year when I put my foot down and accelerate hard (regardless of gear) there has always been a slight whoosh/whistle sound, I have assumed this is normal as it also sounded quite cool However recently the sound has changed...

Hello My clio is just over 3 yrs old (3 yrs and 2 weeks) is it possible for me still to get the extended warranty for it, or now that my warranty has expired is it impossible to extend it? Thanks

Hello, Just wondering if anyone knows where I could get the scratches on my 182 (cup packed) anthracite wheel fixed up in the London area, and roughly how much it costs for a single wheel refurb? Is the colour usually matched well?

Said £7500 on the window when i was there a week ago, willing to come down to 7

Is it the one at Holdcroft Renault now with the 182 exhaust system and the satnav? I had a look at it but it was a bit too expensive and the exhaust was a bit too boomy for me

Thanks alot for replies, wondering if the tensioners etc are meant to be changed at the 36k service or is it just the aux belt itself changed??? How would I know if they need changing?

North. And I'm thinking of having the cambelt done while I'm at it

Hello Unfortunately ringing through the garages who have serviced the car I have bought the way the service intervals worked out means that at 45k my car hasnt had the aux belt done. I am looking for somewhere to get it done in London area and am most likely going to steer clear of Renault...

Thanks alot guys..I had a feeling it was ok but just wanted to check incase it was something that did need doing. Still getting used to the very very high biting point (thought the clutch might have been going but then read up here that it is apparently normal with the Clios) but other than that...

Having recently bought a 2nd hand Clio 172 I have found it is all in pretty much perfect order (other than an annoying squeaking sound!) other than the handbrake. Looking underneath it there appears to be some pretty bad rusting and it generally looks worse for wear...is this particularly...

Having contacted the first owner I found it was a young girl who was bought the car by her parents. The car wasnt driven hard but was used for town driving and since the owner knew nothing about cars at all most likely forgot about its first service. The car didnt have any problems with it and...

Hello I am currently looking into purchasing a 2002 Clio 172 (44k on clock) through a reputable indepedant dealer. Upon examining the car there seemed to be no major problems however in the service log book there were only 3 stamps; one at 20k, one at 32k and one at 44 - from what I know Clios...
