My mates old S plate 1.8T was cable throttle

Cheers guy's, it's a Clio III. Any idea of costs for the above?

My mums friends car has been having a few electrical problems recently. The battery started going flat every few days but when the AA Battery assist got it going the last time, she took the key out at home and the engine was still running. All the dash lights were off etc but she had to stall...

Excellent, I had thought of selling the car due to insurance costs. Getting that quote convinced me to keep it.

I tried Flux and Admiral, Flux never got back to me and Admiral wanted about £1.5k (I'm paying £600) We pay the house prices of a nice place but the insurance premiums of a s**t hole in where I live!

For the last week or so, I have been battling with insurance companies to get a reasonable renewal price living in a BD postcode. As people automatically think this postcode is a complete s**t hole it proved to be quite difficult. I have phoned specialist people like Sky Insurance who politely...

I got mine from Euro Car Parts. No idea what make, they have been on over a year and are still like new. Part number is 617745220 and they are £12.90 each.

Some people say change the waterpump but I didn't bother.

The V5 doesn't state 172 or 182, just Renault Sport Clio 2.0. I did call them, that's when it doubled in price to insure a cheaper model!

I have just tried to get a new quote for my 2004 172. The insurance database brings my reg number up as a 182 instead of a 172. The car was registered on 05/03/2004 and is definately a 172 as it has a spare wheel and a single exhaust. How can I get this amended on the insurers system? The...

Well, they will probably say it was a one off, in my experience once crap always crap! I would just find somewhere else with good reviews.

Is it the same company as this: http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?610135-MIJ-Exhausts-Walsall-Don-t-bother...&highlight=mij I have no experience of them myself but they don't sound the best!

It's horrible!

I would wait for the new one Fred's designing too, I may have to get shut of my Ktec stealth and treat myself when they are ready!

Ktec Stealth Supersport! I had to do a 260 mile motorway journey last week and I still feel like I have been stood next to a speaker in a night club for a week! Also, I don't seem to be able to get it very 'Stealth' like. It's currently melting my rear bumper so getting it looked at tomorrow.

I fitted my new exhaust as above a couple of weeks ago and have just got round to informing my insurance. They asked 2 questions about it: Does it make any difference to the sound? Does it increase BHP? Obviously the sound is now much louder so that is easy to answer. Having looked at the...

I fitted my Stealth Supersport today and it is just a droning noise with a bit of a rasp at the top end. I hope it does settle down a bit as my mate in the back seat was nearly deaf by the time we got home! Wouldn't like to have a decat for sure! I might have to buy a silenced centre section!

Re: I wonder what happened to my old 172 + 182 I found the previous owner of my 172 on Facebook when the V5 arrived. I sent him a message and he told me loads of things he had done to it, even sent me some of the receipts he forgot to put in the car when he sold it.

My standard exhaust is starting to blow a little on the small silencer next to the rear axle. It's been welded up a few times already so don't think it can be done again. I don't really want to buy a new one yet as I'm looking in to stainless options next early year. Does anyone know someone in...

I get Toyo T1R 195/45/16 fitted inc valve and balance for £59 each so that sound expensive to me!

My mates Dad owns a removals business, last night he had his full exhaust system stolen from his wagon inc cat plus loads of the body mounting brackets amongst other things. The expected bill is thought to be around £3k so is thinking of going through insurance. My question is, as he has a...

Mines an 04 plate 172 registered on 05/03/2004. On some insurance sites it comes up as a 172 and on other it's a 182. Where do they get the information from? My log book doesn't state.

And my Dad said these cars would crush like a tin can compared to my old Mondeo in a crash! They hold up well to say you pretty much walked away from a 100mph crash. Hope you get sorted soon.

I had 2 new front Toyo T1R's fitted about 2 - 3 months ago on my 2004 172 and had the tracking done at the same time. I have only done about 2000 miles on them in that time. When I went to get the car MOT'd last Friday, it failed on the front tyres being bald on both inner edges which I had not...

Cheers for the replies.

Check this one out - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Renault-Clio-2-0-16v-Renaultsport-172-2003-/290530627856?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item43a4f99110 Not exactly to my taste!

I had mine done for peace of mind. It cost an extra £160 when I had the belts done so didn't want to risk it failing and needing to do all the belts again. I am planning on keeping the car though

After taking the engine cover off the other day, I decided to clean all the old oil that had been spilled from previous owners when topping the oil up. As I had the inlet off, I thought I may as well take a look at the spark plugs to see how they looked (replaced in the service in February with...

Cheers guy's, any idea where I could get it plugged in for a diagnostic? I'm based around Leeds, West Yorks.

A few times recently, the above warning lights come on. Never while driving, just on start up. If I turn the engine off and start again, they normally turn off. Any ideas? Thanks.
