^^^ I personally don't like laptops but people use them for their mobility, fair enough. That said, most people will use them in the home a lot and the ability to plug in a gfx card and play games at home is a good thing. If you're using it for it's mobility ie out and about at work...

Not sure about that, though I do see it around the Nook area a lot. X reg, other letters may be CCU iirc.

Check if it's still got warranty or not. If it's just inside I would go there personally as any parts needing attention should be covered. On my 36k I had some sort of power steering switch replaced. I couldn't feel it had gone though they said it had from the diagnostics. I doubt a local...

That's a good point. Come my 48k service I won't be taking it to Renault as it's already now out of warranty. I'll take it there for the cambelt though but not til about 54k ish.

I got my 36k service at Benfield Renault, Gateshead for £202. That was with me supplying £36 of my own oil though rather than the £76 for their oil. Parts needed: 5w40 fully synthetic oil (or is it 10w40 again?), oil filter, air filter, cabin filter. I also provided my own ITG panel...

How far did you travel?

You can definetly get these from Renault as I ordered two packs for my mats. In each pack you get the pin thing that goes into the carpet and the bit which goes into the mat, all times 2. The part number is 7701 209 266. For driver and passenger mats you need 2 packs and will cost...

Is it actually cheaper to do this to a 1.2 than own a 172? By the time you buy a 1.2, do all the bits and pieces to it and insure it correctly, can't be that far off from 172 price range surely? At least for a 172 maybe a year older than the 1.2? Looks well done but as has been said grille...

Hmm ok my mistake.

Only the front bumper sticks out, back should be ok.

Quality craftmanship. Based on a Rover Metro GTi according to the RAC Reg checker thingy.

That will be M.B. on here. Used to have a K reg 16v Clio but bought the silver 172 earlier this year. Dammit though, thought this may have been me being spotted when I read the title. I live in Shields and used to have a red mk1 Clio, though an RT.

Went on to Dolphin £35 per month in September. First of all they didn't tell me I'd then have to pay for sms delivery reports at 1p each (soon mounts up). I had to stop using the reports. Now 3 months into my contract they've put on Itemised Billing at £1.28. Something I've always had for...

pm'd.

I think it's genuine. The plastic wings do shatter/splinter like that.

Ok maybe I was generalising somewhat which was why it was italisised. However, I personally tend to see smaller engined cars driving like loons.

Obviously it wasn't everyone with this so called VTR attitude. It was just my interpretation of what it meant. It was b*ll*cks basically.

I know you were joking but for anyone else, I don't think I'm better than anyone else. I've worked hard and worked my way up (K reg 1.4 RT, X reg Saxo VTS, 53 172) as I expect other smaller engined car owners will do. On the point of exhausts, it does make me smile seeing a small engined...

I used to have a Saxo VTS. Quick car. People on the Saxo website used to go on about 'VTR attitude'. Basically it was people with VTRs with a chip on their shoulder thinking their attitude or driving skill could make them as quick as a VTS. Top and bottom of it is that they will drive...

I like them but personally the valver is worth the extra cash. Far more road presence and credibility in a valver. I'm surprised you're saying there's loads around, I thought they were quite rare. I think it's a little bit like comparing a Saxo VTR to a VTS. The VTS is by far and away a...

Easy way to spot versions: 182 Cup has cheap interior and no headlight washers and both the 182 Cup options listed below. 182 standard has the nice interior and headlight washers. 182 with Cup suspension pack is the same as standard 182 but should have dark grey wheels. 182 with Cup...

My used to disconnect from the internet when I had V3 firmware. Since upgrading to V4 it's fine. See the fourth post on this thread. Use at your own risk. Follow the instructions and it'll work fine. You can use the radio through the loudspeaker but you still must have the headset plugged...

Relisted? Something funny here? It was bought via Buy it now initially and now it's on again for the same price. Unless the buyer was a non payer...

Whereabouts is that? There's a really nasty looking Clio in greyish colour going around South Shields. Has loads of chicken wire at the back where you can see the spare wheel and some chooks running around.

For anyone wanting one. Free post too. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/CLIO-SPLITTER_W0QQitemZ250062642409QQihZ015QQcategoryZ10410QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

This used to regularly happen on my old Saxo VTS. It was a common fault with them. The needle would just stick. The way to rectify it was by disconnecting the battery and reconnecting it. I've got no idea if this would cure it on a Clio. Up to you if you want to try it.

Yes how much was it and Justin, how much to spray?

Make sure they refit the trim properly. Mine wasn't and part of it flew off at high speed. Not before slapping my driver's window hard, me crapping myself and then having to leg it back for it and refit it myself.

I was like that with my old RT. I loved that car but it was every month something went wrong and was costing me a fortune. Went for a VTS and despite trade in day feeling like I was having my legs amputated, a week later I knew I had done the right thing. Never had any trouble with the VTS...

I think the 172 is a subtle but smart looking car. It's all the colour coding and attention to detail. The 182 does look more boy racery due to the twin exhaust and partly why I opted for a late 172 than an early 182. And partly why I went for silver in a 172 than racing blue in a 182...
