    How much abuse can a 197 engine take?

    As someone has already said, the engine is the strongest part of the car. It's the rest of it you've got to worry about. :dapprove:

    All MK1 172 Owners please!

    At that milage check to see if it's recently had a new (or has a stainless steel) exhaust on it. The standard one drops off at about 40k miles.

    Faster on some days

    It's much more to do with you than your car. As you said, it's mainly just in your head.

    Sony PS3 Blueray Player

    Don't know about those functions but What Hi-Fi voted the PS3 the "BEST DVD & HD PLAYER for under £500" in their 2007 awards. So unless you're planning on spending a very large sum of money, it's a good one to go for.

    ph quick vs 206 gti 180?

    I think the question should be - which one will fall apart quicker? :dapprove:

    WTF??!! 41.4 mpg???

    Driving slower and more carefully increases MPG, wow, who'd have guessed? :clown: And 41mpg is pee easy to get in a clio when you don't rag it silly.

    Which do you prefer and why?

    Well that's your personal opinion and I respect that, but it is based on a design which is over 10 years old now. And parked next to a 197, it looks incredibly dated (imo :rasp: ) .

    Which do you prefer and why?

    What you on about? The phase 1 has looked dated for years lol. The phase 2 looks dated now too.

    197 or 1*2

    If you can afford it, go for a 197. I would if I had the money....

    Next gen consoles - return to cartridges?

    Apart from the faster loading times, cartridges are inferior in every way to optical media (now that consoles have HDDs) and will never come back.

    Phase 1 172

    As said, it's not standard. Plus how long did it take you to sell? And besides, cars are only worth what someone is willing to pay for them, you were fortunate enough to find a buyer willing to pay the price you wanted.

    Phase 1 172

    His advert says £4,150? Well ok "plenty of ph2s" was said without me really thinking about it. :o A (very) quick look on Autotrader brought up a couple of ph2s with similar miles for that money. So I deffo jumped the gun with that comment. However, there are plenty of newer ph1s (X and...

    Phase 1 172

    Overpriced. Plenty of ph2s around for that kind of money. You were had. lol

    HD question

    HD ready = up to 720p Full HD = up to 1080p If you've got a HD tv (full or ready), it should have at least one HDMI port. :S Unless it's an older one maybe? Standard def TVs won't have one!

    98 ron versus 95 ron!!??

    Re: 98 octane petrol!!! That doesn't sound right at all, £13 million is f**k all for an oil company. Did you mean £13 billion? Petrol is expensive enough at the moment, 95 RON all the way. :cool: Only difference 98+RON makes is a negative one on your wallet IMO. **EDIT** just...

    Naughty Tiscali!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I posted about this 2 days ago. http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?t=297708 But it was completely ignored. :dapprove: I'm wanting to change ISP because of this too, but I don't know who to change to, as I don't want this same problem again!

    Online COD4 players (PS3).

    Yes I know this should probably be in "gaming chat" but it's actually a question about ISPs. :D Anyway, I suffer from the infamous "error 33" when trying to play COD4 online between 6pm and 11pm everyday. After searching the internet I've discovered that this is most likely down to my...

    Did they make a MK2 PH2 1.2 8v?

    My GF has a 1.2 8v clio campus and to be honest, it's not the "big pile of f**king sh*t" I was expecting it to be, it turned out to be just "sh*t". :) Having to change down two gears just to get up a hill made me giggle.

    1.2 16v 0-100 curiousity.

    Most accurate answer so far IMO. As for 25-30 secs... Jesus. A 123bhp Ford puma takes 25 secs to hit 100, you reckon your 1.2 clio could keep up with one of them? I reckon it'll take between 45-60 seconds.

    Lcd Tv for £800

    I've got a Panasonic TX37LZD70 (37" 1080p LCD) and I think it's great. It handles SD very well too. Only had it a week though so can't comment on how it'll stand the test of time. lol

    197 vs 182

    It shows if you're posting about 197 vs 182. Not a good start. lol Huuuggeee can of worms that has been discussed hundreds of time before. Oh and you might have just started a riot. lol :eek:

    Blu-Ray vs HD-DVD @ CES

    95ron or better??

    This question comes up all the time. The RS clio only has a 2.0l n/a engine, nothing special, so any fuel will work just fine. I've used regular 95 RON in mine for years and it runs perfectly (funnily enough). Shame about the rest of the car though. lol So save your pennies and use...

    Which 37" LCD?

    Depends on how much you want to spend really. Tomorrow I'm buying a Panasonic TX-37LZD70, which is supposed to be a top 1080p 37" LCD. Here's a review. http://www.hdtvorg.co.uk/reviews/lcd/panasonic_tx-37lzd70.htm

    Thanks for the replies everybody, looks like I'm getting a 37"er then!

    32" or 37"?

    Not the usual "which TV should I buy" question, but I'd like your opinions purely on which size of TV you think would be best for my situation. It's for my bedroom and I'm going to be sitting between 2.4m and 3m away from the screen. I plan on using it for both SD freeview and HD...
