I would just flush it, it's not a big job and there is a guide on here - you will have piece of mind then for the cold weather ahead. :)

I saw this up for swap , looks a nice motor , was miles away from me though. What did you have before - 182? How is the economy compared to the Clio mpg wise

Elf evolution 5w 40 if going with what Renault recommend - or have a search - I bet there are 000's threads on it

I can also rate sports lines

1 hours closer for me compared to rockingham :)

nice car! love the GTAs

Dan yes that is what you do but I am sure the majority of garages wouldn't do that as part of the service , he could have been using it as his daily driver for all we know. You are the exception but many garages are just in it for the pure £££££ and don't give a fook ( generalisation but my...

I have been bitten by the BMW bug again , I put my cup up for sale in September then convinced myself I would be better keeping it because nothing else matches them for the price, handling, economy etc..... However for some reason the BMW bug has come back - god knows why as it snows outside ...

They are messing you about - go in and try to get your deposit back and walk away . This time of year it is a serious buyers market !!

How do you test your connection speed , what software did you use ?

Welcome , I am on Alfa owner as my oh has a 147 :)

Probably best starting a new thread or something as you had 19 names based on it being on Sunday !

i was just thinking from the initial pictures it makes a change to see a nice clio WITHOUT the 3/4 front plate

a 182 with all the toys? cheaper too

I am working Saturday so count me out :(

does yours actually need replacing? I would go for the OE one i think - but i would be umming and ahhring like you too! (if that makes sense!)

i priced these up recently the OE ones are £80+ which is a tough call when you have a pattern part for £49

Test drive both and take it from there – initial thoughts would be an 03 STi, prices have dropped recently and 6k is now the price band they are in. Scoobys are very easy to work on (had a classic myself), will always have a soft spot for them

pish - the net is closing ! Not good at all

i wouldnt bother, as above it will take many years to get the return on the eatra 3K you will need to stump up. They arent bad on fuel anyway (unless ITB's dramatically change that)

Agree with the above 172/182's are such good all rounders :cool: Although one day the attraction of going back to a flat four will become too much - not for the time being though :approve:

Thanks Tom - saved the document for reference. I noticed the title of the document "Features of Renault Clio Sport SPL lighter version" - they called it a Clio Sport ...hehe

Haha scoobys are VERY easy to work on apart from the spark plug changes, took me 4 HOURS on my classic wrx - 1 HOUR each plug, i must have been in major mongoloid mode that day, that and they are difficult to access. I am very interested in this thread having owned a classic wrx before the cup...

like it, did you respray the wheels? get some stripes on it (like them on the RBs plus they are allowed to be there) , fresh plates as above and job done - will be a nice OE example ;)

nice picture, i would like to own a 16v one day - ever since i had a mk1 RT as a daily driver i wanted one! Hhighly unlikely finding one these days , there seems to be very few about (tin worm?) - not sure i would swap the cup for one but nevertheless i can want :approve:

are your fronts ok too? sometimes they can "jingle" when they are broken as they rattle around

beautiful - must be ace having a beastly car like that tucked away in a garage for a sunny day ;)

agreed, been browsing AT recently and trophys can be had for £4.5 - 5k now

keep your eye on here in the for sale section or find an espace v6 / clio ph1 breaking on ebay

What does the in car mpg read ??
