Or a battered hoop!!

Id connect a lack of outright grip and poor turn-in with s**t tyres, but lack of control/ liveliness over uneven surfaces would point to a deficiency in the components responsible for keeping the wheels in contact with the tarmac, no??

Coolio. I dont know if its just that my last car (ST170) spoiled me, but the back end of the clio seems very light and a little wayward, especially driving quickly on uneven roads. Dont think the budget tyres are helping, but a freshen up cant do any harm!!

I just had a piper fitted, looks spot on and isnt too loud IMO (with the cat in)... think Kam racing and Danny @519 on here do them......

I've a 182 with the cup suspension (60mm strut bolt spacing??) and will be looking to change the dampers and possibly the springs all round, as the cars done 140k miles and doesn't seem to feel very planted through corners. Im not after coilovers, and i'm not fussed about using aftermarket parts...

Hi guys, I had a decat on my 182, and predictably had an engine light on the dash. The car ran fine and gave decent MPG, so I assumed that the decat was causing the light. I recently got a cat and a cat-back system fitted, and the light went out for the first drive or two. Then, when I got back...

Nice save!!!!

If youre looking at a car, and its making unpleasant noises, walk away. Plenty more of them about.....

172 cups are more as they dont have ABS but on the 182, its more of an options list rather than any major differences...... If I were you, id get the best, most well maintained, service historied car you can for your money, 172 or 182, theres not much difference between the two.....

That one looks like mine but smarter!!!!! OP could do a hell of a lot worse, especially with it having had its belts done!!

You put an advert up yet??? :p

I was blinded by the cruise and climate tbh... Plus it was a decent price.....

Yes, if its been serviced. I got mine with 134k on it and very little history, got it serviced and just stuck a new exhaust on it and its spot on. Though if you're struggling to afford 2.5k to buy the car, it might be worth asking yourself if you can afford the running costs/ repairs that are a...

Surely if you've bought it from a 'reputable' garage with warranty, then you should be able to get it sorted and send said garage the bill?? I know I would be kicking off if i'd paid 4k for what you've described!!! Was there a 'cooling off period'??? when you bought it??

Truth.

The edges of the MO5's suit the Ph 1 shape better IMO. Classic wheel for a classic car....

MO5's FTW fo sho' !!

Aye, defo original super t's

Wests Renault?? In the traders section on here???

I think as you get a little older you appreciate how much 'bang for buck' and 'grin factor' the 1*2's provide and use these as factors in choosing a car. When you're younger, i suppose you get influenced more easily by the views/opinions of others (dem b**ches etc....). Hence the 'youths'...

Also, move house.

So top mounts, subframe>wishbone bushes, ball joints and track rod ends too??

Isnt MAF on the inlet, and oxygen (lambda or something??) on the exhaust??

So are the dci boxes genuinely stronger, or is it just a case of them having more suitable ratios for the power???

2k should get you a nice Ph1. or even less if youre just after something to rip the interior out of............

This.

Not if its in insanely good nick with some top mods........

Where is it advertised? If you dont mind me asking??

V12 Ferrari, V8 Fords, Renault V10 owning all...... Slicks....... Ahhhhhh................
