I wonder where id rather sit, on a chair made from nails or the poverty spec interior of a cup, that is a toughy and those nails look damn comfortable...

Are they two or three pronged??? (ie the metal bits that slot into the plastic connector) I dont have time to check could someone let me know? Regards!

Its definatley an aquired taste but one of the few cars that will still be worth that in another 10 years. I love how Retro they look

lol, boy Alan never fails to amuse xx

Should have bought a Phase 1 mate, there secretley 4 wheel drive but shhh dont tell anyone

If she wants to sort it with cash then take it to a Bentley Garage for a quote Should have asked her for a bit of the in-out and cash for the troubles tbh

Im in Glasgow and 22, my 172 is costing me £1000.16 to insure F/C. Resonable enough for what it is i suppose, insurance is arse from elbow up here. Id be £890 to be insured on a 2003 Audi S3. Meant to add, my family have a multi car policy that saved us nearly £890 for 5 cars

Buy a diesel... Or, check your tyre pressure once a week this contributes to quite a sever loss in economy. Driving with the window down at speeds aboe 27mph will create a drag and make for a parchute effect thus making poorer economy. Take any unnecessary laden weight put of the boot that...

Ive recently been thinking of selling mine again maybe mate. Seriously considering a 182 now :o

Are there alot of Honda Civic Ek 9's in HK? I really fancy one next year, but same again there very expensive to insure due to being imports :eek:

Meant to add fella, it might be easier to source which cylinders mis-firing by pulling out all the leads and you should be able to find out via elminination. If the engine doesnt sound to be struggling anymore when you pull out one of the 4 theres a good chance it will be that cylinder thats...

:S Lunacy fella! When mine first developed the problem i thought the exhaust had a hole in it. It sounded dead burbly and deep like you said. Then it turns out it was actualy misfiring with a faulty coil pack, i changed the Spark plugs aswell to be sure. Done about 5,000 miles since, been fine :)

Whats your insurance for the 1*2's?

Dont worry about it mate, this is quite common place with Renaults. Also if you change the coil pack or leads id change the plugs aswell for good measure wont do it any harm.

Could be a coil pack or the HT Leads (they connect to the coil pack) I had this a few months ago, i doubt very much it could be a blocked cat mate. Also i would avoid driving it until you can source the problem. Might damage injectors

Aye thats a bit of a bind that. Tell me this mate, how many cars are in your family out of interest?

Well impressive matey! Wuuld you not have prefered a Supra/Skyline? lol

Do you not fancy making the progression to a 1*2 mate?

Would never risk buying a car to break for parts, theres absolutley no guarantee you would recoop the cash

Obvious what to do here. Buy two Clio Phase 1's, one for every day/week end use and one to rip everything out of and have a track slut. Jobs done and u still have change

If you dont mine me asking, how much would it have been to buy a Clio 172/182 in HK new?

Back firing do you mean? Is it a standard exhaust thats on it?

Parts must be a frigging nightmare to source? How did you get them over to Hong Kong mate!?

Im not so sure about this one mate. Its nice but others can be had with the belt done and alot less miles for about £500 more. If you hold out you will probaly un earth a gem. I bought mine back in March for £3800 with 44k on the clock. I had to get the belts changed though but at the time...

can anyone confirm what bulbs i need and power out put id be needing>? This HID chat is very confusing

I wouldnt mind so much if the roads were actually of a good standard (No other country pays as much road tax as us) and there roads are like f**king putting greens. Alaister Darling? I wouldnt trust a man with eye brows a different colour from his head to take control over things such as road...

Stranger things have happened? all i would say is that if the cambelt isnt done id want it for £4650

Fraid the 172's made after march 2001 are going up to £270 chaps. www.parkers.co.uk

I doubt the lack of ABS would have contributed, braking through a chicane might not have helped much Auch well at least your alright and its only cosmetic damage

Re: What will she make??? Yeah reading that back to myself it is rather optimistic. I would hope that she makes atleast 160bhp. What are you gonna do if she makes a low reading?
