Used my Valver every day for 3 years with zero problems. Just check oil and change every 6K or sooner. Clutches can be heavy and a sign of wearing out. Cambelt at 72k or 5 years whichever is soonest. Pretty reliable. Willy should be a better everyday car as the 2 litre gives more torque...

Thought there were loud and resonable sounding supersprints. KTEC stuff tends to be made by other people anyway, like manifolds being supersprints. If I had not had a magnex on car when bought it only other manufacturer I would consider is supersprint. Check their website and they claim...

Yeah my sainsburys is 78.5 for normal and 80.9 for super. 85.9 for optimanx so not going near that again. Its the Ron rating that has the most effect, filled up with total super and that felt as good as optimax. As for cleaning agents, just put some STP, Wynns, Redline, Forte or other in...

Id go for a secondhand 172 instead. Why go for a brand new lower model when you can get a better model second hand where someone else has suffered the biggest depreciation hit.

They didnt ask TBH just year and reg. Will be going in after work.

Definately a phase 2. Exactly the same but reverse and idicator lenses are a clearer plastic. Not sure if its just cuz old one on right may be sh*tty inside but doubt they get much crap in there. Raining here so dont wanna be fiddling with lights and cleaning tonight. Will probably go back...

Had new left rear fitted after someone went into back of me and bumper repaired. Seems less smoked than the old one and the right one. Are their two types or would my right one just be dirty inside? Whats everyone elses like and anyone else found this when they have replaced a lens. Mines a...

Got mine from GSF and they dont come with bulbs. New bulbs are about 4 quid each or use old ones.

In a nutshell mixing old and dirty oil with new isnt good. Our cars need a change every 6k at the most, some chaneg a lot more often. Id stick some engine flush additive in like forte or something and then drain and put your new silkolene in and new filter.

Id go for the Puma but probably not as practical a hatch as the clio for everyday use. Rarer though and IMHO a good car. Only you can make the decision.

Always wanted a Pug 205 and had to get rid of my first car, a MG Metro. Decided on a Valver as for the money it offered everything I wanted and more. Did want a Willy but Group 17 against Group 11/12 felt it wasnt worth the extra. Still love my Valver as it just looks right, curves and...

Optimax used to always be 5p a litre more than normal shell unleaded. Now its 6p. Filled up with SUL from Total the other day as tehy were doing 4p off a litre. Do get more miles out of a tank from SUL?Optimax for some reason and does perform better. Not sure if octane boosters etc will...

Should be in members section I think as we get discount

Any hint as to which bulbs are required as Renault could not tell me and said that it could be one of two types. Would prefer to buy right part and fit rather than take apart, get to garage or shop, come back and fit.

Also depends on who is selling, people either go by second hand values or enthusiasts values. At that milage check all electrics work and all major jobs been done. Clutches I thought were always heavy but they just tighten up before going so a heavy clutch could be a worn out clutch. Cambelt...

Think the 2.0 is easier to drive quick. But do like the fact that at low revs, the 1.8 is less of a beast so can be driven less quick when you want and its there when you need to go quicker.

Just looked in my local Motor World and Ring application guide didnt mention bulb for clio. Looked at one for Espace and it looks like a indicator or side light bulb. Code 501 I think but they werent sure in shop. Need to replace Temp and Outdoor temp diplay backlights. Local Renault garage...

Lesson is dont waste money modding as its costly. 2K to insure a 1.2 !!!!! Jeez. I had a MG Metro for years till I had enuff no claims and could afford a valver. Yeah get one now and pay over tehodds for it. But then some people piss a lot of money up the wall on booze, drugs etc so why not...

Hopefully you werent speeding and are ok. Even if people are on the wrong side of the road excessive speed is a contributory factor to the accident.

Meant Bonnet. Light was taken out and they were thinking about taking rad out too.
