yeah i saw the add last night, whats the drums for is that to illustrate that if you buy a 182 you get the usual bangs and rattles ;)

I have had exactly the same experence and have the buzzing noise since it was replaced. Mines done 12k and only says 3k on the clock! The panel was replace due to the trip computer millage reseting itself. I cant help but think there may have been a less bruttle way of sorting the problem!

Anyone get a buzz from the front console somewhere at about 4k or 80mph+. This is not to be confused with 4k exhaust rattle problem its its defo the interior dashboard. Has happened since the instrument panel had to be replaced under warrenty at Gordon Lamb. Its probly not their fault but could...

You fool whats buying a house got to do with selling a classic. Either take out a bigger mortgage over a longer period or move up north where houses are cheap as chips. Either way you get to keep the Willy. Im sorry to say this but i think you may regret your decision in a few years and finding...

I know a guy near us that is very reputable in recon and remanufactured gearbox/parts. He told me that valvers are prone to throwing the diff out if hamered in first gear. He is also very good value i think i remember it was about £600 for a new complete valver box with garantee maybe less. The...

sh*t thats bad, i get 6.7 to sixty on the old digital camera. Not acurate i know but what timing method did you use to time your runs? Did you hamer it cos they all feel abit sluggish unless you hammer it in every gear!

Yes very but it always helps to have another classic in reserve + i just got to get rid of this nova its cramping my style

Does anyone with low millage want to sell?

1.4rt defo but please please dont stick tonnes of sh*t on it, as it looks sh*t and gives us lot a bad name we dont want the Barry Boy reputation like the saxos and corsas and you will look back when your my age and think what the f**k did i ruin a nice car for. Tastefull mods are ok Remember...

I have seen it on a mk1 172? never seen it on my exclusive, tend not to go above 6.5k though

Tell them your in the club, its should be all the ammo you need. Name and shame them then make them aware of the adverse publicity infront of 1000+ members. It worked for me! I got everything fixed under warrenty and £200+ in vouchers from renault hq as a sweetner. I know how to play hardball...

Apparantly this light is on the mk1 172s aswell, is this correct does it need activating!

Jay im glad you replied as i would probably take it to lambies anyway do you think its worth buying, the coolant was right up to the top and the plastic cover over the spark plugs was missing and was covered in oil. Its done 70k and he wants £2300 for it?

The engine is defo running ritch ou can smell the petrol

In english lads, I was thinking its perhaps the sensor that monitors fuel/air mix and is overcompensating. Is it a big job to fix and whats the cost. I wont be doing it myself so probably a renault job.

Just been to look at a 16V clio with intention to buy. I have had them in the past so i know a bit about them. This one seems ok but has a worrying problem of the idle speed is 1400rpm after you thrash it and it wont return to 900rpm unless you turn off the engine and restart it. Its as if its...

I saw a BMW m3 old shape 318. In marble black/green at Oulton Park and i thought that was stunning. It looked almost like woodgrain. Very skilled work i would imagine

I can think of one car that comes close to the willy in many areas PUG 205 ti16

Moral of this story is leave the tacky maxpower stickers off, cleaner the better imho. However thats not very helpfull so i would be tempted to get the rest off using non celulose thinners or similar. Then find a piece of glass scratch it in a similar manner to your rear window then use this...

in these conditions maybe, my car has only done a few thousand miles aswell so they are like brand new! They do obviously spin up if you hammer it in first from stationary but as a comparison to the other brands i think they are good.

Because i have the 172 exclusive as you know they have different alloy wheels, BBS infact and for some reason they came fitted with mitchelin piolets. these seem great compared to the sh*ty continentals that were on our phase 2 172. There is no wheelspin turn in is great traction is amazing defo...

agreed

preferably 6k ;)

Whats to stop the club getting on a lap of top gear test track, even if it dont make the tv. I would love the stig to thrash my 172 round the track or even race him. Could have a hot hatch leader board with all the clubs fighting to get No1. spot. Cliosport would defo be in with a chance! Im...

I used to have a nice RT sold it recently for 3.8k bought it for 4.75k about 5 years ago so they hold there value. If you like the car ask some questions and ill try and answer if i can remember...

Paint is porous even when its gone off and will need protecting with a penatrative synthetic polish first and build up the layers before use a final High gloss finishing wax. I know its tempting to treat it with kid gloves but you need to press on firm to build up the temperature of the wax when...

Cups limited? Clitoriss more like! ;) Fast clitoriss all the same.

cheers i can probably get them made by a compant i know would perhaps need a photo of someone elses door sills and then have them made with the number i am yet to find out. Thanks for asking. See if you can get the head honchos Name and number at renault sport for me! I am very greatful...

Paint it scarab green so it knows its limited rather than it getting all confused if its original williams blue or monaco etc. ;) Just a thought!
