not much in london i dont think. best off ordering over the net from www.yozzasport.com for the brakes and plugs. no point driving all that distance with knackered brakes
its cheap enough to go aftermarket nowadays and to be fair the cabasse is total cack imo. even a budget sony upgrade with ipod lead is going to be leagues ahead in sound quality with the standard speakers.
sounds like an improvement. i wouldnt say you were down on power if you have the slight edge on a 182. at the end of the day regardless of the peak power showing... there is a clear 8bhp increase at the top end so the map has improved the car.
i think the clio mpg indicators over read slightly. in mileage terms i used to get between 60-70 miles from a tenner. my new car gets about 60 to a tenner, but states the average mpg at 23-34
for the prices 182 are going for now, i would not see any point in getting a 172 unless your budget was very tight.
my 182 was on 52k and ran sweetly with frsh. only thing i noticed was dampers were slightly worn and could have done with being replaced. if its only got around 2 owners with...
averaging 23-24 mpg urban at present in my mini, think my 182 used to be around 28 urban. approx 30-33mpg combined compared to 27 mpg combined in the mini.
i agree 197 are mint and look mucho agressive, had a drive of one and constantly encourages you to stir that box it. i dont rate the mk2 ph2 172, look to plain and ordinary as standard imo. love the old skool look to ph1 172, but still miss my 182 which was perfect wen on the ragged edge!
id say 5500 to be honest matey private... just got offered 6k by insurance for my 05 plate bg with 52k on the clock, but totally mint pre accident and full renault service history.
I have heard from an ex dc5 owner that the lsd is too agressive for uk roads. easily locks up and can take you tighter than you need to when going round roundabouts and hitting bumpy patches mid way.
on the track is where it rules the roost though... no question
