when ive had new tyres all round before its been a few days before they feel "right" they usually have a coating on them when they are new that makes them extra slippy for a while and nothing feels right initially.... definitely sharpish turns are a no no for a bit until the shiny crap is...

yes i saw one the other day.... very nice.... 23k i think? same as the highlines when they came out... so wait a few years and they will be a decent price.... very solid and mean looking car... and as you say... .3.2 litre.. .mmm.. twin exhaust.... 4wd.. .mmmm

it certainly was a quick car.... its all comparitive isnt it really... depends how you drive...... i didnt come across any cars that "beat" me in the Golf.... as ive said before , i dont go out looking for races but i generally try to get off the lights quicker than everyone else just as a...

top end i suspect the VR6 would leave the clio... mine didnt ever seem to stop accelerating over 100..... around 7 seconds is about right for the vr6 so is that similar to the williams ? they are deceptively quick... people dont expect them to be but all of a sudden they discover that the...

mine definitely :) (sorry Jilly)

and simon172 as well as he had this problem fixed at.. wait for it.. a renault dealer who actually acknowledged it was a problem !

:) *polishes halo*

My girlie has a Diablo red 106gti nice little car even after its narrow shave with death on saturday !

Yeah the guys name is Mark he works from home so if you do go to him dont be put off by the fact hes basically working out of his garage. He has undoubtably forgotten more about cars than most people know.. if you know what I mean. Such a decent genuine bloke and knows his stuff..... In...

right... if you take off the airbox remove the battery, the engine mount is the thing you can see underneath where the battery was.... hmm... its basically got a big nut the middle, a bit of rubber under the nut then two smaller bolts at either end of the elliptical metal place.... on...

unless of course yours is just a less severe case of mine ? have you checked the mount in question ?

definitely not a renault garage !! yeah she was fine... very shaken up at the time... (as would be expected) as was I in fact !! but ok now... well its certainly the quickest turnaround ive seen on a car thats been "damaged" all my previous "incidents" seem to have involved long periods...

lots like warp wap wap wap wap wap wap wap wap wap wap wap wap wap then 2nd gear wap wap and then only if i let the clutch up a bit too eagerly through the rest of the gears...

On saturday, I had dropped my car off in the morning at my mechanic guy who I have taken the Clio to in the past to have a look at my engine mount (see my other post) My girlfriend drove me back from there (liphook) to work (farnham) as I was working all day Saturday... Anyhow... came to...

well this wasnt broken as such; When i bought the car, whe pulling away in 1st, you got a clonking noise from behind the engine basically... down low and behind the centre console.... this also appeared when changing gear craply and letting the clutch up a bit suddenly... I took it to my...

my offending passenger side engine mount has been given a thorough talking to and my annoying knocking noise thats been plaguing me for the last few months now seems banished again.....(third time its been fixed) i may invest in a new mounting though just to be on the safe side... i can now...

nice

mine has one

sh*t i dont have one... should i be worried ? ;)

ah.... well with the golf the tyres went as follows Bought with four on it (unsurprisingly!!) Changed all 4 five months later as i didnt like the ones it had on it.. and they didnt like my right foot... Another few months later... hit a pothole and ripped a front.. so a new front...

also while you are about it i would get the spare involved as this one often feels left out and lonely !!! :oops:

yes i just realised that there was another option dohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh ! put your nice new ones on the front yes.... ill get my coat.... sorry

i needed new rears recently.. (obviously the previous owner had done what you are suggesting at some point) but i got 4 new ones anyway as they dont make the original tyres the mk1 172 had..... erm hang on... do you need to ask this ? :confused: unless u can fit 4 tyres on the front then i...

150 + new rear pads.. 200 and something i seem to remember

i was in york a few months back with my girlfriend for a long weekend lovely place.. my 172 came with me ( i drove... not like it followed me or something!!!!) lovely city.....not that this helps the post really :)

fair enough im just a thug :) (or want to be one!!) i know where u are coming from though.... they do have a certain image....

snow + clio172 = crap i dont know if its to do with the lack of weight which is normally such a good thing (when the roads are normal) or the power or a combination of both but i agree with simon..i HATED driving in the snow.... pulling away in anything but third gear made the car slew...

hmm new scoobies i dont like... i think they are much less attractive than the original shape ones.. the P1 is very nice... dont think it can be called ugly to be honest.. Evos yes.. an acquired taste i would agree with all the bulges and vents etc. but i think "agressive" more than "ugly"...

well if cost didnt come into it, id have bought McClaren F1 !!!

true but P1s are still $$$$$ expensive u can get evo 5s for around £15 - £16.5 k.. lowish mileage.....
