Cars in for 24k service today, just got a call from the service manager..... "Your rear pads are 95% worn and so are your discs. We can get the discs for you today from leicster. The price is £330" So I politely told him to put an advisory on the service sheet and I'll get them sorted...

After a bit of your input guys.... I dunno if you saw the thread, but I've bought the Missus a new Mk3 Clio Dynamique (in pearl black:approve: ). The salesman offered the usual "Supagaurd" treatment for £300, which I politley declined. What I want to know is what exactly is this...

For the Missus - a 1.4 16v Dynamique in Pearl black. I have to say that it looked a lot better in the metal. Also feels far better put together and the materials used inside are way ahead of the fisher-price plastic in my 172. Nice to drive too, if a little 'frumpy' feeling. Nowhere near...

Mine needs topping up. What fluid do they use?

I was just thinking about values and supply and demand etc after reading about 172 prices. And I'm bored waiting for the pub to open again.lol. The Clio's are quite a sought after car (hence why the Mk1 172 prices have steadied a little) thanks in no small part to excellent magazine reviews...

Quick speedo vid, film on location @ Fradley Airfield. Car has ITG Maxogen and Prospeed Cat back and was still cold (:o :o :o ) Hope it works. Interestingly a k750i wedges perfectly in the Clio steering wheel. lol.

Probably a dumb question, but is the cruise control looked after by the ECU or is there a seperate computer for this and auto lights/wipers etc ? I thinking of getting a replacement ECU and just wondered if it affects the cruise control.

Got a bit dark on me but I had to take a few piccies as it's been a while since she's been properly clean. Mods so far ; Prospeed Cat-Back with 3.5" tailpipe, ITG Maxogen Carbon Fibre induction kit, ET38 Speedline Turini 16" Alloys, Cup Splitter, Cup Spoiler, CTR aerial, SilverFusion lamps...

I'd thought my tyres felt very firm after having them fitted. Got round to testing the pressures today. Passenger rear - 30 psi. No problem. Drivers rear - 26 psi. Little low. Drivers front - 33 psi. No problem. Passenger front - 68 f**king psi!!:eek: :eek: :eek: It's a wonder...

I've been looking for a new PC for a while now and saw this advert in the paper today. Is this any good for the money? It looks it to me. I know ALDI is a bit of a cheapo shop, but the components listed appear to be branded. http://www.aldi.co.uk and click on computer base station. I...

:D Bored and trying to figure out how to put clickable thumbnails in a post... and obviously failing. lol

Guys, GDI, YozzaSport, AngelWorks, etc etc are having us all on - 200bhp out of the F4R is easy!! All you need is K+N (+10bhp) and a Superchip (+20bhp). lol...

I know, I know, 6x9's are s**t blah blah blah get components blah blah blah But, I don't want to take my dash apart and I can't afford to lose any of what little boot space I have. Add to that the fact I'm lazy, and want to spend as little money as possible, 6x9's seem the only way to go...

Can somebody tell me the part number for the 182 plastic exhaust surround? My search for one seconhand or from a scrapper has proved fruitless so I'll need to get down to Renault to get one. I'm not even sure if my local stealer has a parts dept. lol. Thanks in advance.

And it looked f**king awful. My missus quite comically described it as "A giant baked bean on wheels". Seriously that was what the colour looked like. I've heard folks on here rave about it, but this is the first time I've seen one in the flesh. Was it just dull looking because it was dirty...

At about 8:15 this morning. Looked like you may have late for something. lol.

How do you find them over standard? What sort of price are they? Worth the money?

I need a good, easy on easy off polish thats going to reduce the scratches/swirls in my paint and bring out the colour a bit. Any suggestions? I will prbably be topping with NXT or #16 or both lol depending on time/conditions.

Just outside Rugeley on Satuday morning..

In Barton Under Needwood. Very attractive lady driving it.:oops: I blinked my hazards as you turned off, although you looked at me gone out. lol.

I want to clay my car, but Ive run out of QD. Is there anything else I can use?? If Im claying it, is it worth washing with washing up liquid to get rid of any remaing wax etc that may still be on the car? TIA

What started as a little bit of a buzz from the heatshield at 4k, has turned into a full blown metallic rattle through most of the rev range. And its driving me nuts. My question is do you think its even worth bothering trying to get Renault to fix it, or shall I just f**k it off completely...

.... went pretty well. Just about the furthest Ive been in her. Comfortable seats, cruise control a god send ( brilliant on an empty motorway) 38.7 MPG on the way there. I thought a good run would clear it out a bit as I generally make a lot of short journeys. Quite the opposite as it turned...

Im thinking of getting my wheels refurbed. But I cant make my mind up if I want a really bright silver (saw Gaz whatsanames on here today, looked lovely) or whether I should go for anthracite.. Ive had a quick PS at how some Anthracite ones might look, but I struggled with making the wheels look...

At about 10 tonight at the 24hr garage on Wellington Road Extension. Lowered, 17"s, lexus lights, and a thumping stereo. Oh, and a lady driver. Was hoping you noticed the sticker on my car....

Im f**ked if I can make up my mind which I prefer. Which one would you have? Arctic Blue http://erc.qmuc.ac.uk/cliosport/gallery/full/1102509693__1099931485__IMG_0579.jpg Racing Blue http://erc.qmuc.ac.uk/cliosport/gallery/full/1102510110__1087328202__DSC01184.jpg And if you would have...

......With Renault Cat1 Alarm. If you turn your ignition on and off four times consecutively, it disables the volumetric sensors inside, so you can have your windows down a bit but still alarm/lock your car. Lock the car as normal and you should hear four beeps if you have done it correctly...

...... stops at 123 mph......:o!! so Im told..;)

My passenger seat rattles like its come loose... Feels as though its not quite clicked back into place. Booked in to Renault on the 20th March, but just wonderd if anyone else had experienced anything similar??
