Clio V6 or S2000

Just guessing but about £60

Teady- No still saving my pennies up fo the V6 will be a little while yet if I can afford it!

I had a race with one and had similar experience. It was fairly evenly matched but he was a bit braver than me!

They are Bosch as standard!

Just tried Elephant got a quote of £617 with £250 excess. Thats only £200 more than Im paying for the 172!

Dodgy- I think you will find that the exhaust is a wear and tear item. I had my centre section replaced and it cost me 20%. Seems to be the norm.

Eh no definately a belt.

My car was just in for the very same problem. They said car was not safe to drive but they didnt have the parts in. I was away for three days so just left it with them and picked it up an hour ago. All fixed no charge- not even for the extra scratches in the side!

Def Stay!

Just hope it is only the alternator.

Anyone had one of these go? If so what does it sound like when its on its way out? The engine started making a funny sort of squeaky grinding noise today and seems to be coming from about the alternator/water pump. Any ideas?

DAz looking at the pic I would suggest some new tyres! They might be legal but not very good in the wet me thinks!But then I always did err on the cautious side.:)

Holts make one type but as Robby said I had to use this once on a 306 because I couldnt get the locking nuts off. It cost me a new tyre cause they said they couldnt fix the puncture. It also made a hell of a mess of my wheel arch!

I had an old civic 1.6 16v of the crx era and I stuck it upside down in a ditch! You can push the 172 a long way before it bites back. I havent found the limit yet except for in the wet when I was being silly and I just gathered it back together. But then you maybe push it harder than me!! As...

Reth - the response you got doesnt surprise me at all. They didnt get my money either for a similar reason.

Reth- Who was the salesman just out of curiosity?

Cat is fully covered I believe cause when I took mine in to get the mid section replaced they had quoted me it as no cost because the woman thought it was the cat. Someone else on here had a similar prob to yours and they just welded it up again I think it looked well boddged!

It would be just my luck to get a puncture on a stinking wet night and not be able to get the wheel off. As I said earlier it happened before but lowering the car back onto it worked but not this time. Wonder if its got anything to do with the Autoglym wheel cleaner Ive been using?

Thanks for the replys will have a go later if I can be bothered. Did try the large boot approach but it didnt work either.

I had this prob on the bonnet of my MK1 when I got it. You could only see it at funny angles or in artificail light. Looked like the bonnet had been buffed with fine gravel! Took it back the next day but they never really sorted it. You just dont notice it so badly now becasue of all the stone...

As the sun was shining here today thought I would give my car a real good clean. Was getting a bit carried away and thought I would take off my wheels to give them a good clean. Anyway got the jack out , undid nuts , but the wheel would not budge. Despite putting the full weight of the car back...

Dont know if you are interested but there is an unregistered Mk1 V6 for sale in the Renault garage in Edinburgh £19995

It also had a CD head unit! But apart from that you are correct in the differences

It is as someone already said 172ps and the 306 GTi-6 had 167 BHP

Its actually mounted across the two beams on the floor under the drivers seat!

Easiest way I got my front pax seat out was by unscrewing it from the rails. Take off the two plastic side panels on the seat. There is a screw at the back of both of them. This will then allow you to get at the bolts holding the seat on to the runners. It can be done from underneath but its...

It will not affect the ABS disconnecting the battery . But dont do it until you definately have the code for the stereo.

THink you can fit the changer but it wont be compatible with the head unit , nothing else is!

I take it you didnt have L plates on?
