True, there are lots of ways to save money on motoring if economy is more important to you than performance. Drive a 1 litre or a diesel, short-shift and accelerate gently to save fuel. But this is a cliosport forum and I say we should all hoon around in 3rd gear in 182s and V6s burning Optimax...

No way, you've helped resolve the argument once and for all: Anyone who puts 95 RON in a clio sport is a pikey! ;)

Hey, if you weren't a fuel geek too you would never have opened this thread - so poke it! :butt:

Neither. There's a lot more to fuel quality than RON and MON (schumacher's ferrari runs on 95 RON but it's nothing like what you'd buy at tesco!). The additive package in *some* manufacturers base grade fuel is plenty good enough to keep a clean engine clean (as a consumer I would not choose to...

Heh heh. Well, marketing is a powerful force and there are a lot of products you can sell with style over substance. I don't shave with a Gillette M3 Power, and I don't wash my hair with an advanced blend of provitamins and glucasil. But then I don't work in marketing - I'm a chemical engineer...

LOl at "it's french mate, how could you" I'll take that abuse from Audi drivers but this fool has a Rover for christs sake. A Rover!! Actually I got the same treatment on the Fiesta Zetec-S forum when I posted a picture of my new 182 after owning a couple of Z-S. "It's french, crap build...

Halfrauds are about to do a promotion where they'll check your aircon for free and then there are good rates on re-gassing and cleaning.

Well, they say opinions are like ar**holes - everybody's got one. And that being the case, here's mine: These bodykitted clios look like an absolute joke!:dead: Dave

Be embarrassed! ;)

If you've seen the official focus st website you'll have seen the "submarine lighting" feature - a red light shining down on the gearstick for a bit of ambience at night (audi tt has similar mood lighting). Has anyone fitted a coloured lamp or filter in the map reading light for a similar...

No, service history isn't important when claiming under the anti-perforation warranty. No respectable car manufacturer would try to tell you that your car rusted because you didn't change the cambelt when they wanted you to. Ford didn't quibble over any of the 6 cars - one of them was more than...

Hope it gets sorted quicky mate. I always hate to read posts like this. I've wanted a 182 since I first test drove one a couple of years ago (absolutely loved it) but I've always been put off by these reliability horror stories and ultimately it always stops me opening my wallet. I've had...

Don't you just automatically get fined these days if you don't buy a new tax disc or declare SORN before your tax expires?

05 plate?? Best suggestion I can give you is to learn to love that peugeot mate! If you trade in a 1-year old car you'll have to bend over and let Mr Depreciation give you a damn good rogering - you'll be walking funny for months! Dave

You'll struggle to get an objective opinion on gti vs 172 on a clio forum - thank goodness for lurkers like me who don't own a clio! Basically Lee, listen to these clio folk - the 172 is an absolute hoot to drive. In terms of driving fun it's streets ahead of the gti. Personally I think the...

I can't believe people give these muppets money. Who exactly are these potential buyers they are going to put you in touch with? Who has ever gone to an agency when they want to buy a used car? Nobody. You just wouldn't - you'd read the fricking auto trader!!! So why would I pay 70 quid to an...

I've got to echo pecan - really think you need to take a closer look at the zetec-s. It's more fun than any 1.6 has a right to be. It feels a lot faster than it is, it responds instantly to every tiny input. The steering feel is fantastic and the gearchange is like a rifle bolt. Interior wise...
