im gonna get someone to have a look this afternoon / this evening as im not particulary happy with it as it is !!
yes... that might not have helped !!
leicester was cool.... good journey up, less good on way back as was feeling v rough !!!
got very drunk obviously !
now for some time, ive had a really annoying squeeking / squealing noise coming from i think the front drivers side brake / wheel on my car which goes away if i brake slightly or , if i steer to the left or right (cant remember which) it also goes....
today however, i have gained a much more...
ah now you didnt tell me about the clicking noise ;)
mine makes some crappy noises when idling..... but not sure if they were there before or if they have developed !!!
let me know how you get on at the renault garage.... im away next week on me hols but if you are still having probs, ill...
on the road they do look different (ive been following simon172 before now) but whether one is lighter or not, i dont know.. definitely a different kind of silver though...
has anyone got or can anyone tell me a site that has the video of the 172 up against the subaru imprezza wrx round some track with the big arch at one point ?
the scooby lets the clio pass after a bit....
the original site seems down at the mo but im sure there was another one......
i have to say though in those two piccies, the mk1 is clearly taken in the shade and the mk2 is taken on a bright day..... not wanting to be difficult or anything :D
he he he.......
that is impressive then on craggys part.. (well his car not him or that WOULD be impressive !!!!)
mine definitely does an indicated 120 possibly a bit more in 4th before the little green light comes on at me :D
and i have to bow out to craggy then in 5th as ive not done 130...
ive missed this completely but at the beginning you say Paddy "mine wont do 120 in 4th"
two questions
1. What car do you have.. is it a 172 ( or is Reno Sport u Mutha a new one i havent heard of ? :D)
2. What was Craggys car doing then in what gear....? I just wondered...
Im not going to...
the mk1 in silver is the best as i can be pretty certain i will always see another one on at least a weekly basis and can therefore remind myself how good MY own car looks on the road :)
other colours may be "rarer" but how often do you see them??? ;)
Has anyone else had this ?
Mine squeal constantly in the dry weather and i do mean constantly....
In the wet, it doesnt seem as noticeable..
and oh yes... the noise stops when i apply the brakes...
ive tried slamming on the anchors a few times and ended up hurting my back and making no...
i am toying with the idea of one of these... only toying though.... (the integra that is)
and i found a website that has a bit more technical information on the new integra plus some piccies

Popped out this afternoon to take a video back and pick up a few bits of shopping for the old dear... only about a 4 mile journey....
on my way back, was going through some narrow lanes near me and as a result was driving very carefully / slowly...
a few seconds after my girlfriend commented...
what the hell have you been doing to your pads Si ?
ive done approaching 22k and the fronts are apparently half done and the rears were shot at the last service (november, 14k miles)
no im pretty sure i use my brakes fairly "enthusiastically" on most occassions and what the hell had happened...
it was SMC Renault in Woking I believe.
I also had the same problem mate and got my local mechanic guy in Liphook to sort for me....
I used the renault garage in rogate and they seemed good but like you said, didnt know what i was on about re the mount...
let me know if u need any more info
Yeah thats what i was thinking.... 9 really.
its low mileage... and still will be in a few months time plus its in good nick....
si, I quite fancy a change as i get bored easily plus although the clio is definitely a quick car which i think is brilliant fun and cant really fault, im after...
My Car..
Obviously I can look on parkers etc. etc. but what do people think its worth, privately or to a garage
Its a Titanium Silver Mk1 172
20,650 miles at present.
Im the second owner.
New tyres all round recently... only needed two but the new ones looked nicer
Pretty much...
i think the coating though does make a bad initial difference... obviously the tread thats immediately in contact with the road gets cleaned up immediately (well after a mile or two) but the stuff on the side tread / the bits that arent ALWAYS in contact with tarmac seem to take a bit...
