Just wonder what people think full service history is ? I just happened to see an advert for a 172 cup on pistonheads and the owner bangs on about its full service history. Now we have always had several cars at any time and some have done very low mileages in some years , does that mean they...

I know they are hard to speak to on the phone , if i turn up with 2 sets of wheels to be refurbed and leave them there for a week will they get sorted ? its a bit of a journey for me but its worth saving the money on 2 sets .

looking at the likes of Ash ,Tony el al ..... what gearbox oil do you guys run ? standard elf 75w-80 , or something like Redline synthetic ....... i have run redline in heavy duty boxes before to great effect , but wondered what you have tried .... to be fair its only in the daily so i know...

Right , broken spring and a track rod end need sorting , so its going to get tucked up in the workshop this weekend for me to sort . Mrs has said the brakes don't feel fantastic for a while ,and she has a point and the discs look very ropey ..... so Springs I guess Eibach Prolines would be a...

Just a quick one for anyone who does not realise in all the excitement of the snow , clear the roof of your car , the dangers of not doing so are not good , having seen accidents when we lived in Germany and people not doing it (though most realise and do ), you would be amazed at how quickly...

Now i need to explain specifics here , i know you can on a personal policy (how many realised that ? a way to reduce a premium by ramping up an excess and then re insuring that huh ? ) this is more specific can an employee insure against a large company vehicle excess (eg a policy not in their...

Had a good look this morning and struggling to find anyone stocking them online anywhere ..... seem to be other sizes but not that one ..... and no i don't want to fit 205's ,

I am kinda stuck with t-mobile as i get 50% discount on line rental , but not finding anything in the current market i like . i have a Motorola Atrix at the moment as i love the ability to have the lapdock and surf , and being honest that will be staying as its great for travelling . so have...

suppose it was time to get some half decent pics up , unfortunately still only phone pics as i was busy , but this is the 48k mile 1500 quid 172 we picked up 2 months ago.

Could really do with getting our S4 done , just read russ's thread about the Black gold clio he has just done and really could do with sorting our audi (and if its good then the clio ) don't think i have the time and skills or know how to really do a good job (although have most of the tools )...

The fleet out while I sort the garage ...all need washing :-( but that will need to wait while I turn the garage from a storage facility back into a garage :-) , don't fancy washing 4 cars with a hose pipe ban on after sorting the garage out and a number of trips to the dump .

noticed today smc renault in surrey are doing an offer on aircon regas and deodorise at £59 inc vat booked the 172 cup in for friday ...... its first visit to a dealer for a while rather than a specialist :) ,just happens the dealer is a stones throw away.

After purchasing our 172 about a month ago which we knew had a fault with the engine cutting out, the car was dropped off at Westbourne Motorsport . Now this was the 49k 172 that appeared on pistonheads for £1500 as the owner didn't have time to fix the fault and his garage had already failed to...

Now being one of the older sorts on here ,and also a newcomer to the clio fold , i see patterns emerging re tyres . This happens time and again and was picked up on in a thread i saw last night . Now the example last night was TOYO R888's ..... these seemed to come up as a best track day tyre ...

Just a word of warning , get that chip in the windscreen fixed before it cracks and needs replacing . Just noticed when getting quotes that the wording of any previous claims has been changed and they now ask about glass claims !! this was asked by 3 insurers in the last week , and it seemed to...

after much debating and your advice , on all things clio , we didn't buy a 197 ...... we didn't buy a 200, we didn't even give in to madness and buy a matte grey raider (although it came close) we have though bought unseen ( i do know the man that's selling it ) the 49k 172cup (53 plate with...
