Ballin' so hard motherf**kers tryna fine you...

I agree. Someone polishes a car to within an inch of its life, puts it up way overpriced and everyone on CS justifies it even though the belts are due in 6 months! £1200 sounds a fair offer on your old car.

Lol Dave looks exactly how I imagine most folk on here to look like!

That's the one chief.

Good to see you're doing a good job of tidying it up! That was all I thought it needed by my initial comment. Saw a pal of mine the other day who has been running one of these for a few weeks, it's a dark purple/aubergine colour, lovely car!

I'm up in Derby for work everyday, I've got a silver ph1 172

Gotta say the ph1 looks pretty bland next to that, good job!

Exactly what I'm getting at!

Haha!! Stops the engine feeling like it's gonna fall out the car between those on the limiter gearchanges ;)

Like it. My mrs would love it (not a dig!)

You need one of these! Got it all fitted, made a great improvement.

How does it compare to the PH1? Any nicer to drive?

French cars have ALWAYS got some residue around the sump or engine/gearbox join, mine has yet it never appears to lose a drop of oil on the dipstick! Funny thing is those sump tray bolts cost about £4 each from Renault LOL.

Cheers Cupman! I haven't got any washers...should I go and get some from somewhere?

Hi all, Got a polybushed dogbone mount, are these easy enough to fit? I've got the whole mount with the polybush in situe so don't need to faff about with that bit which I've heard can be a fiddle. Is it just a case of getting under, unbolting the old one and bolting the new one in? I don't...

This gives me hope! Mines on 112k and racking up the miles! Doesn't feel too old though, still feels pretty handy.

For sure! I'm going to guess your commute is circa 30 miles each way and you do about 50 miles at the weekend too lol?

About £280 :(! £60 a week to work and back, then another £10 pottering around at weekends. Car achieves about 36/37 mpg.

I like it. Looks kinda retro with those wheels, like something ford would have fitted to the early mk1's in the late 1970s. It's certainly clean.

Nice

Bet that doesn't work too badly. The problem with Apex springs is that they're not a good match for standard dampers, with uprated Koni's though I can imagine it's a different story maybe?

Yes, good chance of getting the 5 bags back if you decide to get shot of it a few months later...

Good man.

Looks nice, get the fog lights back in though, they're a feature of that ph1 bumper.

Last changed the oil less than 1500 miles ago using Fuchs 5w40 stuff from Opie. Always run it on super unleaded too. Think you're right about the plugs though, I don't know when it would have last had some (if any) though it is on 112k. Interesting to hear that they all hesitate from cold. I...

Ahh, do these have two? I wouldn't know which one mate just know its had one in the past from an old invoice. It doesn't misfire as such just hesitates a little through the rev range, it goes away once warmed up but then seems a little sluggish, like the handbrakes partially on!! Other thought...

Hi, My 172,which has always felt very responsive and lively has got a bit sluggish seemingly in the last week or so. I also notice it's a bit surgy or hesitant in the lower revs from cold, not that I ever take it past around 3.5k before it's warmed up anyway. It's doing no better than about...

Best set up is standard mounts with uprated dogbone so many on here say. Could imagine it being harsh with uprated mounts all round.

Re: CLIO IV RS for 2013, Last news I hate DRL's.

The pictures. Only little things but stuff like the engine bay, grubby headlights, interior look a bit worn, shiny steering wheel etc. Plus Gaz said it needed oil topping up. Nothing that can't be sorted fairly easily, now you've asked me to describe why I sound like I'm slagging it off (I'm...
