iirc you shouldn't use white spirit - it leaves a greasy film behind, which may explain your problems. You should've used proper-job brake cleaner.

I think you no understand! ;) The cat is working fine, but has rusted through completely, is blowing like mad, and is about to fall off!

^ Yeah that's what I thought. They did say it would depend on whether the cat had hot anything etc etc, but I explained to them that it had just rusted through near the flared end - it's got absolutely nothing to do with the s/s exhaust, it's just crappy poor quality renault steel.

Exhaust started blowing the other day. Took it to ATS today, and the Cat has rusted through around the back, and is blowing into the heatshield. The car is booked in at Renault on Thursday for them to have a look. What I want to know is, will they replace it under warranty? The car is less than...

Yeah it's the old E-Class chassis iirc.

LOL. I drove my 182 for the first time in a week last night, and my exhaust started blowing from the join between cat and mid-section. Thing is, it's a blueflame not a standard one, and I've got no time to get it fixed but it's proper embarassing! It sounds like a dodgy Nova with a big bore on...

Flmao! :d

^LOL didn't realise he had a 172 - I really should read the car description on these threads before commenting! :rolleyes:

Do you mean the Blueflame one, the larger of the 2 that K-Tec sell? If so, I've had mine on for about a month and I really don't think it's very loud at all!

^ Well think about it for a second - you'd have to buy new black plastic bits for the grille etc, and get a body shop to respray the side strips. Not the cheapest thing in the world surely?

But not exactly cheap either! Why anyone would do that to a Trophy is beyond me! :mad:

I've got four tickets for RWS that I'm trying to give away, as I can no longer go - the gf wants us to visit her sister that weekend! *yawns* :rolleyes:

Also noticed it could do with a cup splitter! Other than that, loving it!

Ooh..........do tell!

Yeah looks sweet. I'm loving the colour coding and the headlamp washer removal - it just smooths the whole front of the car really well. :D

Wow Bubbles that looks sweeeeet!! It looks so much better than I imagined. When you mentioned you were thinking about getting a carbon bonnet at that Maidenhead meet, I thought you were nuts (only coz I love the liquid yellow), but that actually looks the nuts! I can't wait to see it in the...

Welcome to ClioSport - I'm from Hampshire, but I live at the end of the A3 :D

Something like that yes.

The full fat with cup packs was more money than the cup version, but I've no idea how much exactly.

There was a 182 Cup - it was a stripped down version of the regular 182. You're thinking of the the 182 with cup packs on it - like mine! :D

The 182 doesn't have a spare wheel well! The cup didn't have xenons, climate control, auto wipers/headlights (iirc), a half decent stereo, or decent (read half leather) seats.

That's some serious wheel liftage!!! :eek: Looks ace though! :cool:

LOL! I thought that too - does that mean we can drive too fast now, as we have driver aids and therefore won't die? ;)

To be fair, it's about time somebody said what everyone else was probably thinking, and put him in his place.

Not something you ideally want to do at those speeds! :eek:

Yeah I've heard others with this problem. IIRC, it's the weatherstrip around the top of the windscreen, which protrudes slightly, making a whistling sound. You could get a windscreen place to re-seal it for you, or have a go yourself?

Gutted for you matey - it's such a pain in the ar*e when stuff like that happens, but like others have said, try not to blame the gf, and try to ignore some of the less constructive criticism on here :rolleyes:

LOL - and I think I have to agree with alot of what you said there Roy. :approve:

Like mine eh Mike? ;)

^ You seem to have spent an unhealthy amount of time examining his website! ;) Most of us closed that browser window as soon as we realised what he was about!! :eek:
