Was driving along the A13 this morning at 9.30, wanting to come off the Becton slip.
Sat in a queue of stationary traffic at the lights, until I got past some road traffic cones which meant I could "clip in" to what is going to be a bus lane (but isnt yet). Accelerating up from stand still...
that hold my door cards and all the plasticy bits together...can you replace them if one kinda "pings" off into the road? As in can i get em from Reno and are they replaceable?!
Just seen so many posts about cars getting keyed and vandalised and lets be honest the weather doesnt do the car much good anyway.
I have a drive and would still consider it (its not the longest drive in the world, just about fits my Clio on with a foot gap between the bonnet and the street)...
Cant recommend Phil enough at HIC. Loved beating Flux and was straight to the point. Fastest quote Ive ever had. And cheapest so far.
Now seeing if Flux fancy beating him - then Ill phone him back and Im sure well work something out! ;)
Third time of writing this - damn post limiter.
My local dealer has a demo Silver Cup coming back in a couple of weeks after a salesman leaves his position.
He reckons its got 5k on it but thats gonna be a very hard driven 5k IMHO.
Personally Id rather buy from an enthusiast who has looked...
Basically cos my local dealer has a demo Cup coming back in after one of the saleman leaves his job there.
Reckons its done 5k but thats likely to be a very very hard driven 5k. I said this to the sales guy and he was like "your buying a cup its a sports car they are all gonna be hammered"...
buying a nearly new used 172 from Reno rather than private if all they do is charge you more? (i.e the only warranty given is that remaining of the original 3 year warranty which if i am correct transfers over to a new owner on a private sale anyway?)
Reno said on my ticket it required doing immediately. I figured Ive had the car for 23months, and 80% is 4/5 of that time. Therefore 1/5 of that time is just under 5 months. So I should be ok at least for 2 months.
Am i right?
to be PISSED OFF.
Went in for my service today, and was duly charged £156 for the pleasure of waiting around doing jobs I could do myself to get a stamp in my book. BUT this is not the reason I am pissed off.
After consulting you lovely forum people I mentioned the wheel bearing and the...
Black 1.2 16v Extreme Clio. 2002. 15,000 on the clock at present.
I dont have the original wheels I replaced them with 17" OZ Super Ts. The windows are tinted and the stereo is about £1500.
I am of course aware that these things dont really add any value to the car, but I wouldnt think...
THE CAR
1.2 16v Extreme 23 months old 14700 miles. 17" wheels if that matters.
THE PROBLEM
Motion related sound that increases in pitch with speed coming from the front of the car. Its hard to descibe the sound other than a pretty annoying whine. MAY start off a little gravely at low...
Posted in here as I know a few Reno techs are about in here more often than in Exterior etc etc will post in there too hoping no one minds too much.

Any idea HOW rare the Silver one is?
AlsoId love to see a set of pics - interior included of an unmodified Cup - blue and silver if poss.
Opportunity for Cup owners to show off and help me out! Thanks
What are they doping to my bulbs!!! Had to replace my brake light bulb on one side twice already and its not working AGAIN.
Its lit for lights but doesnt glow more for when I brake. ANOTHER bulb to be bought I guess :@
He appears to be driving a 172, but it appears to have to rear centre exit exhausts separated by about 40cm.
Aint seen that before on Std 172....or have I? Someone fill me in!
Its just the ad where he says "And VVT make Va Va Voom"
Ok if my plans work out Ill be getting something in a few months.
What would you buy?
If i get the ZR i want it in graphite/black and Ill put on black wheels.
The 172 will get Cup wheels as and when I can get some.
What do ya think?
I have decided to look into getting a Valver or a Willy.
In the Valver Id like Black or Blue preferably but DEFINITELY not white or red.
Either vehicle must be as near to original as possible, rust free and below 60k on the clock.
Email me <A target=_blank href=...
Advice please.
Im after a valver, upto £4.5k to spend (should i be able to get insured for a k or under).
Are there different phase valvers? I want the 1.8 16v 137bhp (not the 110bhp RSI!)
What colours is it available in? What interior trim levels?
Ok, about a year ago I had a guy hit me in the wing, he hit my alloy as well and did some damage I THINK to the wishbone (?) which mayve been replaced (?)
It went through the insurance and Renault fixed the damage. When I went to pick up the car I pulled away and there was a horrible creaking...
How do I know what to buy? I was told at halfords that blue and green could be mixed but red cant!
Mine is running low so I called Reno and they didnt have a clue what they put in there at the factory! Help!
