not sure if the chassis is bent. The bodyshop bloke at reno said that they need to knock out the dint in the boot, skim it and respray, replace the bumper and respray it cos some the plastic bits behind it have caved in and remove and replace a metal piece behind the bumper. The also need to...

This was a very strange accident. I has on a road with three lanes that lead to the M62 or towards Normanton, all lights are on green and this metallic red Citroen Saxo VTR starts swerving between lanes. I just thought It was some thick tw*t that didnt know which lane he should have been in so I...

You need to be able to put a deposit down of about 4k to get the dealer down. I got it down to 5.5% over two years with a 4k deposit and my old clio for 1k. It is obviosly because the finance company has little risk - a new 182 would be worth at least 10k of anyones money so add 5k to that and...

Have a look when the tanker pulls up. Yes, its a plain white tanker but notice that the drivers got a BP uniform on.

I only had my car about a week and some tw*t put my window through. He didnt manage to get anything because the theif wasnt expecting the alarm to go off - theres no warning stickers in the windows and by this time I had realised it was my car and charging out the door with a hammer but as usual...

Sainsburrys super is BP ultamate so buy it there at 84.9p

I think I saw one without the insert at a reno dealer but I dont think you can buy it on its own unless you go to the scrappers. Youd probably break it when trying to take it out anyway.

has to be black cos it hides all the naff plastic trim unless your going to colour-code it etc but only problem is that there are more black 1.2 16v dynamiques around than anything else!

Take it to another dealer and get a second opinion. You shouldnt have told them about the bird crap unless they ask.

Well it come with a spare engine! - so not too bad if the first ones knackered! Youd have to at least replace the headlights and add idicators to make it road legal though!

You could go down a quite road an slam on the brakes to clear it for a while. This also gets off rust if its been stood a while. Obviously be careful if your going to do that.

They usually short out the headlight dont they? I think my alarm has a second immobiliser so I should be ok but i think there are better cars on the street than mine..

I would also like to know how they did it without the key. All modern cars are supposed to be rock solid to take so they brake into your house and take the keys instead....unless they did get a key or tow truck. I thought it might have been the finance company taking for non-payments but you...

excellent colour. Looks great! I want one!

Did you have to pay reno extra or did they just give you it as a good will jesture? ;) Looks good but I think it could do with that spoiler that goes around the window to take out the big ass look.

someone bought a new v6 off reg vardy for £21,000 on cliosport so there must be deals out there.

I thought that has the engine hitting the subframe that causes the bang.

£23 at just tyres for laser alignment. It only takes them 5mins so they are proper trying to rip you off!

added .jpg on the end for the file extention. Its a shame thats its knackered but im sure someone will benefit from the interior and other bits.

They do make fiats though! [Edited by cliopower on 07 October 2004 at 8:16pm]

Ive had 4 handles and still the problem exists. Insist they replace the frame instead. Theyve got fecking oil on the fabric seal to make things worse.

They seem to go faster if you thrash them from new but it wont last as long. You probably better increasing the revs it stages or you can loose some power.

No fit girls at my local reno. Hope they fix it for you but they probably wont knowing typical reno dealers. Theyve got feckin oil on my sunroof seal (the fabric one on the inside) now so I dont know whether to try and get it off myself or make them pay for a new one if I can prove it. Going...

You can complain to the council about ball games on the street and they can ban it but youll look like a rite complaining grandad!

Not sure how you stand with this because it is the property of the insurance company now - complete or not. Perhaps you can offer them £300 less of the cost to compensate? It will be one of them theiving gits at the accident management center. I doubt youll ever see it again but hopefully the...

This new clio is supposed to be based on the Micra chasis and is to be as wide as the Modus but not as tall and shares a trimed down version of the megane rear end according to Reno officials but all these pics you see in Auto express etc are just prototypes that were made last year so you may...

Reject the car. Most reno dealers have 1 dual control test car so they can lend him that while they get another or they should be able to get one off another dealer in the group. My local dealer always has one.

Group F*...oh dear. Its no wonder ive been ripped off for so long

My contis lasted 8,800 miles on the front which is crap basically. I replaced all 4 with Toyo Proxies 195/50/R15 with a tradwear of 280 compared to the tradware of 80 on the contis. Cost £180 all in and 23 quid for tracking. You will probably find that 185/55/R15 are rare and cost alot of money...
