Agreed, I drove them both back to back, no real difference in acceleration etc, but the clio was nicer and seemed nicer when turning the wheels. I then went and drove a 1.4 MG ZR which was pretty nice both ways.
Surely the finance company couldn't really cry if he was still going to pay the finance, its his car that has an attached debt, or do they secure the debt against being able to re-possess the car should he fail to make payment. My advise if you are so unhappy with the car would be to sell it and...
cross your fingers and pray, have a word with the renault dealership that recommended the place and the place you originally took it to. If they were recommended by renault they defo should have done the job properly. You'll be pretty screwed if theres no paperwork. Also make sure that the...
He means the guys who dont own cars are slating the 1.2 clios mate
and corsa's are shite, I drove one before buying the clio and in terms of go the 1.2 16v corsa and 1.2 16v clio are practically the same, its just that the clio doesn't say SXi so its not as fast right? :D like it
nope, the wheels and springs are the only undeclared mods, purely because springs had my mate looking for ages for an insurance company to insure him reasonably and the wheels which I bought for £400 were going to add £700 to my policy. It was a close call though, the garage doing the repairs...
Holy hell there is £1600 worth of damage on my car!!! they are replacing suspension components, fingers crossed they dont recognise the uprated springs...
Might be an idea to pop into an audio shop and see what head unit they'd recommend, then go to www.caraudiosecurity.co.uk for it, but like above you normally just need a lead. I was told about £30 for mine. its a JVC head unit
Heres hoping, If its affordable then it isn't being claimed I'll pay for it out of pocket, but his airbag didn't even go off at that impact! Its really an eye opener, on the day I bought the clio I'd been treated like a complete tw*t by MG when I was there to buy a ZR, and so went elsewhere and...
These clios sure are tough, mines looking good to have survived a hard impact that did some damage to the front of an MG ZR... its all looking cosmetic, very impressed
The plan was to get equal fault, that way maybe i wouldn't have the costs of his car to worry about and i could fix mine outside of insurance. I accept that he has right of way but dont accept I take full blame as rules of road and the law is to stick to the speed limit. I shall see what my...
we'll soon see, I fear that I have lost and that my no claims is gone again but like I said they wasn't doin a few miles an hours over, he was really moving. Had he been doing the speed limit I would have had plenty enough time to pull out. so unhappy when my car got towed away
Hey, I just had a crash earlier today in which the below pic was my car after (yes, that is the front bumper wrapped around my wheel) and just after having some new sideskirts on there :( I was pulling right out of a junction, I checked right road clear, checked left being allowed out, checked...
15 miles is a half hour drive if that, plus through the insurance it'll take just as long and you could potentially have to declare on your insurance over the next 3-5 years and have him lose his NCB. He's willing to pay for the full repair for you, I personally would take him up on it. Pop into...

I've got the 6 channel amp on this product line and i love it! it sounds awesome and bridged it powers the sub plenty loud enough.
Haha, when I was trying to get my insurance the difference was nearly £700 just for saying I had aftermarket alloys on. So as far as they're aware my alloys are standard renault ones...
Or if it continues they can play with the wires, they offered to lengthen mine to stop the problem. fortunately *fingers crossed* the problems fixed itself before doing that though as my warranty has now expired
I have Gmax springs and yeah its a 1.2 16v. Only had the springs on for a couple of months so no problems yet. I'm sure there are guys on here with 60mm springs long-term who haven't had problems with the shocks, however I'm confident they'll get worn quicker than normal springs. Honestly if...
I love most vauxhalls, and have owned 2 astra's. I bought a clio because of the nice running costs plus I think they are good looking cars. In my opinion though one of the worst cars ever was the vauxhall corsa. When I drove one I felt bored, the corsa engine pulled about as well as my clio...
