:lolup: I like you to :rasp: Not having a go - but its a real shame when people try and save a quick buck by being immoral. Like they say, what goes around comes around. Quick example - when the incident happened - i ran outta my car with my hi- vis jacket, put it on whilst going to the scene...

Jon - Thanks for deleting the previous post. I am not trying to alienate persons from posting - however, I am sure you can imagine it is a bit annoying when comments are posted which have little or no relavance to the thread. Furthermore, statements which have no relevance to my case and/or the...

Maxx - yeh its a big risk. Would have thought legal proceedings against the accused would recover the costs? But i guess that depends on the costs of legal fees the insurance company will have to pay out initially (to fight the case) against the cost of repairs. If the former is greater they...

Maxx - very valid point. Although, there is no way what so ever I can be found to be negligent - there is nothing I did wrong as a driver. Will contact the police later tonight and try and get the ladies information / details - see how she feels about paying out either via her pocket or...

Well thats nice to know. However, this thread isnt about if you would or wouldnt pay if you found yourself in the same circumstances. If you wish to discuss the finer points of the way you think, your integrity as a person and more so how good a cyclist you are that you will never have an...

Many thanks for your reply people. My case is slightly different to the ones mentioned above. My incident stands as follows. I was going straight at a cross junction and was behind a large van. Cyclist approaching from opposite direction and wanted to turn right - thus going across my right...

I understand what you are saying and I can understand the word of caution that you have raised in terms of me chasing money from the cyclist. However, yourself and no one on this forum was present to the incident and therefore have no 'real' idea whose fault it was, and what I am getting is...

Seb - The first on scene officer did say to me 'she seems reasonable and sorry, she should pay up. Otherwise there are other ways to recover your money and we will write a report which can form part of your argument from yourself or your insurer'... I dont think a lawyer would take it to court...

Thanks - duly noted. Its funny how a thread in regards to if I should inform my insurance company about an incident and the best way to recover costs from another party has firstly ended up being about whose to blame and even after my stating to one person about the reason for this thread...

and what i said previously,i am not looking for opinions on the matter in terms of blame and who 'owns the road' so thank you for your opinion but its not needed in this thread.

Its substantial damage - I wouldnt want to be paying out of my own pocket personally. If she doesnt take responsibilty and be honourable about it all, I will pursue through my insurance company. According to a lawyer friend of mine, can also fall into category of criminal damage and therefore...

Well, I have a witness and She has turned into my car not the other way around. So I think I am alright in that regards. Also, thats not what I am asking in case you hadnt noticed.

Yesterday evening, a Cyclist hit my car and damaged my bumper/wing :(. She was turning right :nono:and i was going straight on. I had the police there so they are sorting out all our details exchange and the lady was said to be ok just a bit bruised etc. So hopefully, she will be 100% ok in a...

Now your just showing off :rasp: LOL Was clarifying where the fact came from and what model it applied to.

Autocar Annual test 2000 (iirc) 172 Ph1 stopped faster from 100-0 than a 360 modena and a diablo.

Just as I was reversing out of my drive I saw you. You followed me till the end of road and as I headed towards clapton roundabout you went in direction of stamford hill. Silver Phase 1 172 titanium (i believe) :approve: Dark multispoke wheels Splitter at front Lowered Anyone from here???

had an RT box in my clio 16v for two days last year... 1st gear - shorter 2nd gear - shorter 5th gear - same as valver... Cant reallly remember wot 3rd and 4th were like... The gap between RT box and 16v Sump isnt a huge issue - bit I would believe that dirt entering throught the gap will...

I'll let my Brother explain what happened... Anyhow - Thats two clio's (mine was a Mk1 Ph1 16v) we have written off between us in as many months... And now we are without any sporty clio's ... Would anyone lend us theirs for the next breakfast run ?? :rasp:

Pics I took today... The Beast! And Others.. How to Park In a Ditch... And the aftermath of the Ditch incident....

Car seems fine under 40mph. Above 40MPH the whole car shakes but the wheels stay completely planted to the ground. Only shakes under acceleration. Only seems to do it wen warm Vibration / shake seems to originate on the passenger side front wheel footwell area. Gearbox and Driveshaft have been...

Saw this lovely example of a Clio Sport in blue - with bucket seats at the front. Im not too clued up on the variants between 172 mk2 / 182 sports - but had the dual exhausts at the rear - and bucket seats at the front. Number plate was ** PHE. Awesome car - i was in the blue mk1 phse1...

EDDE, I did have an inkling that the method above was vehicle&model specific. Thanks all the same. Would anyone have any idea how much Renault charge to code keys?

Anyone confirm if the above method would work? or if there are any other suggestions?? :lolup: (aside from paying renault dealer prices) :dapprove:

I just bought a Valver which only came with one key. The central locking/alarm works with the Button on the PLIP Key. What are my options in getting a duplicate key(single button plip key) like this made/programmed without paying renault Dealer prices. I have thought that the following...
