Exact same thing happened on my 1st 172, they crease where the arm bolts on. They can't be repaired, and the subframe on a 172/182 is different to that on a 1.2 for example, BUT only by one hole for the bottom gearbox mount I just bought a 1.2 subframe and used a cone cutter to drill a hole...

Blocked catalyst?

Are these available? I've bought back my Flamer, and they've put a Kwik Fit special on it, but its really raspy and im sure its blowing. Im just wondering if its even designed for the car, as im sure i was told you could only get genuine?

Cup Spoiler pack = bigger rear spoiler and the little splitter under front bumper Cup Suspension pack = Grey wheels and Cup suspension (not visible though) Search is a godsend btw ;)

Don't the AA offer some sort of warranty if they miss something? Why not ask him if you can book it into the nearesr Renault dealer for a healthcheck? I know we (Vauxhall) do them free, plus at this time of year when work is scarce, they'll pick up on every little item, trust me lol

Exactly, the g/f wanted a new Fiesta Zetec S, said she had cash but they still blabbed on about FordFinance etc. No, C A S H.

Ive had two 172s and a 182 now, and notcied the CUPs are in some cases quite abit cheaper than the FF 172s. I dont know whether i could do without all the toys, but are they really a better driving car than the FF, as claimed?

I was in the process of buying my old Flamer back, but been told that he's keeping it for the forseable future :dapprove: Im annoyed because i've got the cash, but i thought i wont buy it until i sell my Leon, now he's changed his mind, silly me! Just spent £105 putting my reg on retention...

Let us know what happens, im intregued how he'll squirm out of it if it does turn out to be dodgy - especially as a replacement MOT cert is £10, not really an excuse to lower a cars price unless its by a tennar lol

Thread revive! Cheeky barsteward, i did those wheels myself! Fook spending my hard earned taking them somewhere when i did i better job myself! Still miss it proper bad, regret selling it but need to spend money to make money ey!! When you decide you want to sell it, ill be knocking on your...

Yea, im a mechanic so ive already mentioned this to him but as its a company vehicle he needs to speak to his boss. Was silver and an XLT so they're not uncommon, just have to try source a bumper

Don't even get me started with unlucky! I was only in the area because i was trying to save myself £5 postage on something i bought on eBay!! :mad::mad: I even had enough time to put it into reverse and floored it but still slid forwards!

But can i browse the net if not logged onto PSN?

Ive slid into a Ford Ranger tonight, all 4 wheels locked in the snow on a hill at about 5mph and ive just had no control. Im not bothered about the damage to my car atm, but his was a 2008 Ford Ranger and its stoved the front bumper in. Now my excess is £750, but ive since heard that if only...

As above, get the common error code 8071B23 when trying to log on. I heard somewhere that i can still browse the net though, but when i try it says 'page cannot be displayed' 'see network settings'? Any ideas?

Jealousy FTL, i wish i'd of had a half decent car to impress 'da ladies' in, instead of my 1.2 Nova Merit GTE lookalike lol. Fair play to the lad, although be carefull where you park it because you'll inevitably get some jealous haters, esp if their g/f eyes you up for a ride lol

Are those the wheels i sold you a few years back?! They never looked that clean on my car if they are!

Any ideas? She says she's no front or rear sidelights and no heater/radio lights? Cheers!

Well after all this, ive decided to go and look at one tomorrow :) So, i may be back in the Clio driving seat before long!

Michelin PE2s tp replace the ones on it i hope! The PZeroNero's were quite good when i had them on the front

I want my old one back! But, ill just have to get one as near to the same as i can because it'll no doubt be rattley and dirty now you've had it :approve:

Well ive been without an RS Clio for a few months now, had a 172 that got written off, then sold the replacement in May for a 182 which i hated. Ive currently got a Mondeo ST200, but 70 miles on £20 is taking its toll and its one big barge!! I really miss my 172, but one of the reason i sold the...

Who did i let across me this aft? Was in a Vauxhall Vivaro from work :(

Sorry yea got a bottle too. So what is snow foam, do i use that then wash it? What are the advantages?

Well id mentioned to the g/f about the snow foam concept, and lone behold she's bought me the following 1 Karcher K3.99M 1 of these and 5l of 'ValetPRO power range pH neutral Snow foam' Now, basically is this a good/the right combination?! Tbh ive no idea how it works, or anything but...

My 51 172 had 106k on it when it was crashed into in April 2007. Sold my Flamer on 94k, that was an 02 Went to the auctions last week and there was a blue 03 dci, looked okish, revved it and it smoked like a biatch - looked at speedo, was at 197,000. Think it was arapid response for a 24hr...

OR Theres someone selling a 182 Cup front bumper on ebay, with the blanking plates still on - email him asking him if he'll sell you those separately? Sure he'd like a few quid for nothing!

Lol rubbish question imo. 'My exhaust is knackered so shall i replace that or some parts that work ok?'

Ah Perrys :) I work for Perrys in Huddersfield, and do Mazdas MOTs. I hate these but im biased, they're rubbish to MOT! Seen a few mint ones mind inc an 02 plate on 1700 miles. A tip, drive it hard and often, i fail so many on the emissions because they're weekend toys

Who reckons this is the same colour? The bumper is off a 53 plate Dynamique apparently, the car i need it to fit is a 02 Extreme - Same colour?
