So is the Fiesta a better car than a 172?

I gather this must be one of the better Renault dealers if you trust them with your V6, Colin!

Love that! Nice piece of kit! But seriously, M3 plates on M3's are absolute faggotry.

Good advert Riz! Whats next?

And the contents of my wallet! :disrelieved:

Have you blown the engine in it just now? If so, not really, although the manifold is different afaik

Not to side track but, has it been in an accident already? It has washer jets but no xenons...?

Take off the rear lights and check the rubber seal that goes around the single bolt holding them in - this is usually favourite for letting water in!

Have you checked the black electrical relays under the fuse cover in the engine bay? There are three, all worth inspecting the terminals! Also, i had an earthing issue on a previous Clio. The nearside strap under the arch liner was replaced and it sorted a few issues out - may be worth...

So it never took the cambelt with it then? You're a lucky boy!

That only shows MOT's, not service history!

Not a fan of that! The back looks suspiciously 458 and from the front it looks too mid league Lotus-esque. Pass!

They are absolutely awesome.

Putting budget tyres on a car renowned for its handling is like f**king a supermodel with your clothes on. You'll never realise how good it is until you go all out. Don't skimp on tyres and brakes.

Have you checked the earth straps? It could be an earthing issue. Try taking them off and cleaning the terminals up, I had similar issues on my old 172 - the temperature guage shot all over the place and it occasionally wouldn't start... The nearside earth strap under the arch liner needed...

This is an awesome thread!

Fit any springs you like and if something fails, re fit the old ones. Theres really no need to complicate it?

If its my week off, i'll be there - actively want to spread the Scotland this year <3 x

Ah yes, on my old Exclusive... I think I mentioned in the thread it sorted about three issues at once!

For what it takes to check it its worth pulling the airbox out and giving the metal tip a clean/light sand down! Think its x2 13/14mm bolts to undo it!

Had four; Iceberg phase 1 Exclusive phase 1 Arctic 182 Mondial 172 Cup Covered 200k between all four so far. Got my first at 22 now 28 and still love them.

Today at 15:30!

Could someone on standard springs and dampers please take measurements of the top of the arch to the ground please, checking my suspension is OEM and not something else, cheers.

HT leads it seems, MPG drops through the floor with a faulty lambda sensor!

Bang on that post!

FLOL!

And 20kg's lighter than a 'normal' 182.

LOL. Missed this first time round. f**k a nun that must go like the hammers of hell.

Did you leave it with the handbrake on??

Aye I'd just seen some of the boys mentioning issues with their 135i's - that's not so bad then! Fairly decent figures as standard as well! Like most modern diesels, that'll map well aye? probably 250bhp or so?
