Sounds more like a massive loss of coolant and over heating ? or was it more internal engine failure ? gutting either way mate !!

gutted to hear mate :( any idea whats failed ?

I want to come Don lol please hahaha

I find tax quite expensive so get as much as possible not sure if its the same band as the 182 but that's £146.50 for 6 months ! That puts quite a few people off! Fuel wise drive it sensible and they are very impressive imo but its still a Renault sport so don't expect 40 to the gallon !

I agree on MPG ? You don't really buy a Renault sport for MPG , although I do agree that they use to be good because they were cheap , they are now getting closer to the others in price but quality still isn't the same !

Really? I'm sure I paid less that £30 for both brand new from Renault !

I wouldn't bother worrying ! Paint the wheels grey (or steal a set) and get coilovers ! Mines non cup packs and I don't reget it !

Evos are a whole new ball game of expensive ! Lol if you can afford to run one daily you will love it , but I hope you have deeper pockets as clios are cheap run compared !

I have that system with a unsilenced centre and decat it's nice! If you want some ideas of noise let me know ill send you a video give you am idea of idle and driving

Haha couldn't agree more :) my 182 is the first car I've had where it actually works lol best thing ever just recently although I'm disliking the fuel consumption !

Looks like part of a mounting mate , couldn't tell you anything else and I maybe wrong lol

I reckon youd be 100x happier with the diesel mate, they drive loads better ! difference is night and day , and doing that type of mileage the DPF will be fine! might be worth a look ;)

Erm yes and no , if you do a lot of motorway miles yeah mate average 50-58mpg it seams , and they are a lot quicker haha ! But they do have DPFs and if you don't drive loads they block up and cost loads lol

Hahaha good effort squire ;) you want do a Toyota estima , they have to be line up to the shocker in one position only , I was told this after building it up and get a rather bad scratching noise :S lol haha nice one mate !

Gggrrrrr oh well get them off next week , pop around Renault Tomoz hahaha nice one mate :)

I think I might just replace them anyway ! Lol it's it shocker off or can you do it in situe ? Lol i heard something about a knock on them but I might replace them for peace of mind :/

Take into consideration that as said , you know your 172 , and you may buy a 182 on your budget that would need a lot of money , I don't really think its a good idea but you can buy a 182 style exhaust from k-tec and then you have all the benefits without a lot of cost, get a 182 manifold and...

You maybe able to swap your low mileage mint 172 for a high mileage 182 , doesn't normally happen though ! Personally I wouldn't bother! I've had both and there's not really any difference that makes it worth swapping , if you have a good 172 keep with it ! Im assuming your 172 is a phase 2...

Hi mate 1- it could be the camber of the road , but I'd be checking for crash damage if its noticeable , check wings , look at the suspension see it anything looks really new, if the bolts have spanner or socket marks on etc , it could be the road or require tracking , but you will kick your...

I always loved the zetec a as well , only problem you'll have is finding one with moon miles and rotten back archs in fact rotten everywhere lol! You be fixing rot from day one now , the clio has on its side that they are pretty good at not rotting , especially compared to the same aged fiesta ...

Sounds good to me don let me know a time and a place and a price and ill do my best !! its the one thing right gets on my boobs is the dents , youve seen what im like about cleaning it lol :D hows the Juke treating you ?

My clio has got a weird noise , passenger side it tends to be and mainly , when have left it parked over night , ill start it up reverse back and the lock over full to the right and go to pull out into the road , theres like a crack from the passenger side front while locking over It sounds to...

Sounds good to me don! :) my biggest concern is the fact he might not be able get the two dents out on mine :( ones the usual bonnet been pushed down by a monkey and the other is on the door pillar , not sure if they can do that as I'd imagine its strengthen ? Unless anyone can confirm?

Very good point never even considered that ! Agreed on the seats !

Nothing much till pay day :( been working like crazy but this morning it happened ........ Sorry about the blur lol ! Don't know if to be happy it's made it :) or sad that's it's literally worth 20pence now haha !

I quite like that :) but I'd want the Cambelt doing by a specalist ! So try get money off (£400-£500) The seats are good standard but the recaros are lovely , but you could always get a set fitted if that's the car you want ! Moneys about right I reckon for age mileage but like said get the...

I last one I did I took the cover off , 3x13mm bolts, then put the box into 3rd, then manually selected 5th by the gear syncro, remove the pin for the fork , remove the selector fork, crack the end nut off and then use a puller to remove the gear from the shaft ! Worked fine for me ! Good luck

They are tight as tits and normally require a special tool http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/PROFESSIONAL-MECHANICS-WIPER-ARM-BATTERY-TERMINAL-REMOVER-PULLER-TOOL-/130914619891?pt=UK_Hand_Tools_Equipment&hash=item1e7b1e91f3

yeah mate also on the pump , there is a rubber filter type of thing that blocks up, well on most cars maybe different on these never had one out ! need to do mine!! Big laugh at the 'drum mechanism' as they have discs at the rear :/ there is a piece of MOT guideline paper floating around with...

yes as above its a certain oil that isnt just normal engine oil , also believe its a bumper off jobbie and also replace aux belt and tensioner !
