I got a nice suprise today when i picked up my car from the dealer..
I booked the cup in to have it's rear brakes looked at today as the discs were well rusty & were making a grinding noise when braking.
After reading on here i was convinced they wouldn't replace them under the warranty &...
The story goes...
A week or so ago when braking i can hear a kind of grinding noise.. .
The rear brake discs have been rusty for what seems like ever. Although it sounded like the grinding was coming from the front discs.
I had a look at the pads (just from looking through the wheel spokes)...
I'm looking around for a turini as a spare for those long journeys, but i do know they seem to be hard to get hold of without spening £120+ on a brand new one.
But if i can't get anything, does anyone know if a spare out of a similar age non-sport clio will fit and be ok to use as a spare...
I'm sure this is a simple question....
Excuse my ignorance, but i have seen mentioned on here a few times about 'pre-reg'd' cars.
What are they then?
and what would that mean if your car was pre-registered?
Spotted 2 clio sports on the M4 both around 12.30 - 1pm today
1. Black mk2 172 (i think) with a private plate E**** *** didn't catch the plate, just noticed it was a old style E plate. Travelling East on the M4 heading for swindon junction.
2. Silver 182 - CN05 *** It had tinted windows...
2 in The Mall, Cribbs Causeway:
a 55 plate black 182 with stripes
an 03 plate Blue 172 cup
And on my way back:
a 53 plate (i think) Black 172 with silver stripes, with a 'mature' lady driving.
and on the way up the ring road a boy racer in a pug 306xsi driving right up my as* just...
I have been pondering on a speaker upgrade for the front of my car for a while now. (running off the standard HU)
I was thinking of getting some of the highly rated rainbow comps.
But after carefull consideration i don't think i really want to go through the hassle of removing the dash &...
Just driving home from Longwell green & as i approached the ring road roundabout (one with the Cinema etc...) a blue 182 came flying straight over the roundabout, followed by a golf gti... obviously the golf was trailing a bit ;-)
Spotted several Clio sports today while out & about in Bristol.
Here goes:
1.Black 172, ring road by Sainsburys roundabout emerssons green
2.Black 172, C** BAT - By Southmead Hospital
3.Iceburg 172, R002 *** - Ring road, by MOD in Filton
and last but not least
4.Silver cup'd 182 - On...
Spotted this while in devizes today, i was a couple of cars behind, driving past the sainsburys carpark in devizes. I'm sure i spotted a cliosport.net sticker in the back window aswell.
Today was a good day for renault sport spotting.
Saw this very nice clean 172 cup driving towards bath on the A368 around Chelwood (i think thats what it is called)
Whilst on my travels today.
Looking very nice & shiny....
I also saw 2 orangey 182's aswell.. 1 was the one thats parked in Halfords carpark, the other was in a new estate just off the dual carriageway into weston from the motorway.
Earlier today (Tuesday) coming out of the carpark where McD's, currys & PC world is in bath.
a silver 182 (not sure on plate no) but had a roof rack & a cliosport sticker in rear window.
At last i've seen one with a sticker...
So... this must be someone on here :-)
Right, i know brake discs rust when not used for a little bit in this kind of weather, but my rear brake discs don't actually seem to get rid of the rust.
I drive to work (about 8 miles) and when at work they are still covered in rust, there are some 'silver' rings around it where it's coming...
Whilst driving around for work today, i spotted 3 clio sports.
1. WP04 *** - Yellow 182, on the A420 driving past Wick and turned off towards Siston common by the griffin pub.
2. WU03 *** - Black 172, Comet Carpark at Longwell green (ok ok i was skiving off work at that point!)
3. 05...
Just popped into Halfords to have a little lookaround while on a bit of a skive from working in weston today & saw a rather dirty ;-) but nice looking 182 sat by the front door to the shop.
Had a Gumball 3000 sticker in the rear window.
Anyone?
After leaving my car over night when it's been raining (it's hardly been nice since buying the car!), in the morning i go to pull away & the rear brakes are stuck right on & bang when released!
I know disks brakes do, do this a bit as when left for a while, but this car seems to be worse than...
Any of you guys on here?.
A very nice looking Silver 182 at the traffic lights, going straight across the ring road roundabout from Mangotsfield (ish) towards Westerleigh.
I was 1 car behind, in the right hand lane in a Cup (didn't see me though did ya :-(
I'm wanting to replace the standard door speakers in my 2003 cup,
I'm still keeping the original head unit.(for now....)
I'm probably looking to spend around £50 maybe a bit more, for some speakers that will offer good sound quality. (if thats possible...)
Preferable some that would improve...
