If I declare my car SORN via the internet, it'll take a while for the documents to come thru, but what if I wanted to re-license my car next week? Can I still just take in my original reminder letter (V11) or do I have to wait for the sorn thingy to come thru the post. Steve.

My tracking on my 172 is 'miles out' according to the garage I took it to earlier, but I also have another problem, the wishbone and anti-roll bar on the drivers side of the car are 1-1.5cm apart, you can get your finger in there, but on the nearside of the car they are pretty much together...

was waiting for a bus, god i hate walking and public transport, since my car has been off the road for a while now, saw a cup out of the corner of my eye pass me trundling along up the road, makes me miss my bloody 172 sooo much! looked quite clean, although at 6.50am this morning i wasn't...

Anyone getting the below error? I'm tired of it. Can't play any 3d game withing it freezing soon after it loads up, and sometimes it just restarts my computer for fun. I've tried many different drivers and also the drivers that Vista installs from scratch, but to no avail! I'm running a...

How much is a new one for a mark II clio, phase 2 172....? Also how much am I looking at for having it sprayed (flame red)? Have seen varying quotes and want to know what I should be looking at. Would it be cheaper to find a 2nd hand bonnet or is it easier for the bodyshop/garage to...

...into the back of a big merc people carried mpv thing. Scratches on his bumper will polish out and be resprayed easily.. However.. Mine is in need of a new bonnet, new front upper grille, and from what I can see, maybe a few engine bits?! I don't know how bad it is underneath the bonnet...

Just pranged my car into the back of a merc and the bonnet has pushed itself up, thus the bonnet sensor doesn't reach the underside of the bonnet, and so the pin doesn't get pushed down. Can I set my alarm and it won't go off? Or can I just unplug it? Steve.

Drove past a Red 197 on Aylestone Road today at about 5pm, doubt its anyone on here, but quickly after there was a Cup, CS sticker in front window and I think, Black FCS(?) Cliosport stickers on the rear bumper. Nice plate too. Lucky git. Shame you were stuck in the rush hour traffic along that...

Here are mine from the day, although my mate Bec was in charge of the camera mostly. Tried to film some of the corner action from the CS tracktime but the fence was a bit s**t really! Convoy down from LFE was good, I wondered why we were going off at J21 into Leicester and driving by where I...

I dug out the old box of 'car acc. crap' today and discovered I do actually have some half decent stuff to clean the car with, I've not detailed my car for almost 2 years and I want to give it a decent going over before FCS (thats if the weather will let me)... I'm just not sure what to use and...

I've got some old Windows XP folders (Prog Files & the main Windows folders) sitting on my hard drive that just won't f**k off. They are set to read only, and they won't delete! I've renamed the files and stuff but I can't change the attributes. UAC is off, and I've tried doing this in safe...

about 11am on the thursday, spotted on the waterloo way bit up from the train station, i was going straight on at the lights you were going right, and probably on ur bluetooth headset... or talking to yourself as you were the only one in ur car....

Spotted from the Syston/East Gosgate Roundabout a few cars behind me, noticed it was a non-RS Clio, when I finally got into Melton just past the BP garage it pulled alongside me on the left and sped ahead. Was an 07 plate Mark 2 Phase 2 (but with the numberplate in the bumper? what are these...

Green Mark 1 172 - I guess this might be an exclusive, or a well dressed up 1.2/1.4/1.6, couldn't see that well but deffo a blondie of the female type driving around the Welford Road NCP sometime before 11am today... Reg was... J4DE ** aftermarket zorst and big rims.... Come to think of...

Parked pretty much outside the (horrible) nightclub 'Life' in the late night of Saturday/early hours of Sunday morning. Small CS sticker on rear window, I've seen this around quite a lot. I should hope you were not participating in the drinking, dancing and cavorting within said...

After installing and removing a skin in Windows my file types have buggered up and my folders don't open properly. Double clicking on a folder opens up another folder window instead of opening it inside the original window.. I've checked the 'Open each folder in the same window' box within...

You seemed to be on a speed mission from the Thurmaston (McDonald's) roundabout to when you turned off somewhere along the A46 (westbound) into North Leicester. 172 Cup, zorst & lowered. I was (a fair way behind) in a bloated fat red 172.

Trying to put this in simple terms, I've got (or had) 1 yrs NCB with CIS, then I switched to Natwest, got 1 yrs NCB with them, then went to Tesco for 2 years and so got 2 yrs NCB with them... Went away travelling for ages (been prob about a year & a half since my insurance expired with Tesco)...

Wondering if anyone else is experiencing any of the following?... - Doesn't always register a call as 'missed' or 'received' in the recent call lists. - When viewing a picture taken with the camera (by pressing one of the top buttons above the screen), then if you press the orange Walkman...

Ok I've been away for a while and I'm in need of a new phone & contract. Just wondering who not only has the best deals, but also decent customer support & mobile coverage/performance. I was on O2 when I left, and I found their customer support to be a bit dire, but their bundles and stuff...

My i(s**t)Pod has decided to randomly lose music all the time. I go to play something and it just skips it and moves onto the next song. When I plug my pod into a pc, the song shows up on iTunes but there is an exclamation mark on the left hand side of the song, and when I double click on the...

How can I alter the script below that is part of my travelling blogger, so that if someone clicks on a link, it automatically opens the link in a new window, rather than in the same one or without them having to 'right click & open new window' all the time? The page...

http://www.tescofinance.com/personal/finance/insurance/carins/contact.html I can't dial an 0845 number from Australia, because its a UK local number apparently.. The phone operators over here have said I can't dial it from a payphone and I can't afford to dial it from my PAYG mobile. Does...

Sometime in the middle of last year, I replied to a post from a certain member whom was asking if anyone had a spare 172 front shock & spring so he could get his 172 sorted and back on the road. He himself had aftermarket suspension and one of his shocks needed to be sent back to be replaced, in...

G'day mate... This was the first RS Clio I'd seen for almost a month and I almost wet myself... All I've seen so far are a few standard 1.2 and 1.4's.. Was caining along somewhere near the centre of Sydney City Centre late yesterday afternoon, you were probably wondering why some guy was taking...

My ABS & Service lights have come on and Renault say that the sensors are knackered, and its because Ive got FK coilovers and there is no bracket for the sensor cable to go. Can anyone tell me what they have done if there is no bracket on their FKs, and if there is a bracket, WHY ISNT THERE ONE...

Washed the car for the first time in weeks yesterday and took advantage of the sun & went to Bradgate Park for a bit of a photoshoot... http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y167/Steviep_172/Bradgate%20Park/DSC00024.jpg...
