    broadband connection at home. But don't want a ''phone''

    What? He didn't sell me anything. I asked for the cheapest line rental, and that is £10 per month, paid yearly, so £120. Broadband is via Orange, nothing to do with BT. It's not like you're King English User is it?

    Is it just me or does everyone feel physically sick at the mention of a cam belt...

    Re: Is it just me or does everyone feel physically sick at the mention of a cam belt. Don't rev the nuts off it till its done. Did you check if it had been done before you bought it?

    Photography: My trip to Iceland (lots of pics)

    Really good pics there fella, even the last one on the plane, though I suppose one can't help taking good pics in a place as beautiful as that. RoryW - that's a interesting idea - honeymoon in Iceland. I'm getting married in new york in a couple of years (!) and fancied somewhere different for...

    hi new to this forum

    You'll never get a definitive answer on this, but IMO premium fuel is worth it with 1*2's. I get better econemy and better running / performance, but it is more expensive. Tuned Clios aren't the cars to have if it's economey your after. C1's 70 mpg FTW

    Hello newbie here

    Welcome buddy. Get some pics up when you get the car.

    New to forum

    Cool - but how come it took so long? Diffinitive site for 1*2 info, so you've hit the jackpot if that's what you were after. Welcome.

    hi new to this forum

    Do yourself a favour (and possibily your mate); don't let him do this work! It will be wrong / you will have to pay again to get it done correctly / your car will run badly. Seriously, look at paying circa £500 from a trader on here and also stump up the membership fee. That might sound like a...

    G8 LAS Black 182

    Whalley. Only just moved here from Barnoldswick, where I still work. Used to take 5 minutes to walk to work, but now have to drive the 17 miles there which is such a shame lol. How many BIB are there on the '59, FFS???

    G8 LAS Black 182

    Spotted today, 11:30ish, G8 LAS, Black 182 with pressed plates, on A59 near Clitheroe, looking good. Only time I ever see another R.S. going the same way as me and I'm in the other halfs 1 litre Lupo.

    All Pearl Blacks & Black Golds Look....

    Re: All Pearl Black's & Black Gold's Look.... Ribble Valley, Lancs. I know the haters wont like the lights or exhaust, but I don't care. At least it's different.

    All very interesting - thanks for taking the time to write a review.

    background pic on my laptop

    The picture will be in a different aspect ratio to the resolution your screen is set at. You wont get it to display properly without enlarging it and then cropping some off to make it at least the same aspect ratio as your screen, or preferably the exact same resolution.

    broadband connection at home. But don't want a ''phone''

    I get free broadband as part of my orange mobile contract for £15/month, but obviously still need a land line. Recently moved house and had a BT line connected for £10/month but you do, however, have to pay for a year in advance, so £120. The saleman really didn't want to sell me it, and tried...

    Test drive 172 - brakes underwhelming - is this common?

    I have drilled and grooved discs, and mine stop very well. So much that a friend who has a fiesta st asked why they were so much better than his. Maybe they need bleeding?

    New owner - 172 phase 1

    I'd be going of the cars age, rather than the mileage TBH. At 10 years old it should be having it's 3rd belt fitted.

    182 . . . Dyno today (21-01-11)

    Sorry for tread hijack, but does it matter if the timing is advanced or retarded, as regards being down on power? I ask as Birchdown did mine and told me it was out before and although it now runs a lot better on tick over & doesn't cut out when started from cold, it doesn't seem to have any...

    Clio Speaker Connector

    Any scrap yard is almost guaranteed to have a clio with these, probably a fiver a pair.

    Rear Shocks leaked - Replace rear or allround?? :S

    lol, it's not complicated! Just get the rears replaced and don't worry about the fronts, or the springs. Fairly common on clios, rear shocks going but the fronts seem to last better. If you want it lower, get some springs, but change the rear shocks first.

    Deep scoring/scratching and rusting of rear brake discs

    Mine are in a similar condition to the OP, and the last time I took it for a MOT, the tester told me to ocassionally drive with the handbrake 'half' on to clean them up.

    New rear wiper not wiping!

    Don't they all do that? Mine does anyway.

    Disappointed with Pioneer TS-Q131C

    Rage will take you to a place where sound quality matters little. Love the band; saw them at Wembley few years ago. Did you fit the matching tweeters?

    172 exclusive advice

    Yes that's dealer prices. A specialist should charge less, however, make sure you're confident that the seller can do the job properly. Many tales abound of botched jobs - search on here and I'm sure you'll find plenty.

    172 exclusive advice

    My 2001 ph1 is on it's third set of belts; the first one snapped, so they do go! If there's no evidence of it being done then I would budjet £5-600 and/or get that amount knocked off the purchase price. HTH

    Best place to get some prints done?

    Maybe not the cheapest, but the quality and service are second to none: http://www.peak-imaging.com/htmls/prints_from_digital_media.htm

    Minimum tread depth before you change?

    I'd be checking rear suspension, esp shockers. Nothing wrong with your tires.

    clio 1999 1.6 si alarm

    Can't be of help with your problem, but I used to have the same car (Si) and the alarm was the same as my ph1 172, so if you search problems with 172 alarms you may find the answer. Would probably get more help if you were a member of the club too...

    Hi from maidenhead

    Hi, welcome. Glad you prefer the 182 over the astra. You'll find people more friendly on here if you become a full member of the club.
