Yeah the gear ratios are crazy long in the phase 1. Not quite bad enough to do 75mph in 2nd though!

That's true :( Although I'd be more annoyed if I was a ph2 owner, as Renault had more time to sort the dash out but still f**ked it up :eek:

Mistake with the RAC data if you've seen the car and HPI'd it. When I'm getting quotes for my car and I insert my number plate details online, a couple of insurance companies think my car is a 1.4 clio sport! :dapprove:

Pics

How much do you pay for fuel? Full tanks cost me £40 MAX.

My backbox fell off at 40k miles, was so loud was embarrassing to drive Was told it was going to happen and it did!

My wheels always look anthracite - they're so dirty all the time :D

ABS kicks in and I don't lock up... what's your point? :rasp:

I think you'll find every car is more dangerous to drive in winter than in summer. Do you even know what ABS stands for? You don't lock up! That's the whole point :cool:

Agreed. My car will get driven whatever the weather :approve: It has a roof :clown:

About 190 miles - normal driving. A lot more if cruising/driving steady.

Those are the concept pics which we all saw about a year ago :D Yes, it is a shame it didn't look like that... and had more power.

If you look it says "number of previous owners", which means the first owner (the previous owner) had it from new until 23/3/02. That second owner has had it from 23/3/02 until he/she traded it into the garage, but it's still registered under this owner as the garage don't register cars under...

Heard about this aggggeeessss ago. It was supposed to be a 140bhp GT version (or similar badging) in the mk3 clio, intended to be a cheaper version of the 197 to buy and own. Was supposed to come out before the 197 though. Hmmm....

2000 X reg ph1 172, 49900 miles - nearing that 50k!

I've managed a 6.28 on my gtech pro heh. Standard car. I always thought the book 0-60 for a ph1 was 6.6? (6.8/6.9 0-62?).

It was an improvement yes, just like how the 197 is an improvement over the 182. I can understand where the Willaims lot are coming from though, saying the Willys are better than the 182s, because the 182 lot are saying the same thing about how the 182 is better than the 197 - which is...

Engine mounts.

197ps, it's only got 194bhp :eek:

Indeed, I always thought rattles were on the spec list.

That looks to be the exact colour my car is - and that is titanium silver!

I will the next time I bump into a real racer whilst I'm driving along the congested public speed-limited roads I use to go anywhere :clown:

Give it a year.... and a 'cup' version.

Thanks for the replies. It's not the battery, the voltage is correct and everything and it's turning over fine, it's the firing start that's the problem. How can I get to this TDC sensor and see if it's ok/clean it etc? What does it look like?

Another thing. The engine starts fine if it's warm and has been very recently used. If it's been left for a short while, the starting trouble is back again.

Bump :D

Agreed.

About a week ago my car suddenly decided it'd be a pain in the ass and struggle to start. Sometimes (about half the time) when I turn the key, it turns over fine but the engine just doesn't fire up. I have to prod the accelerator pedal a couple of times to get it going. Once it has fired up...

The CTR tops out at 100mph in 4th. I'm sure other 6-speeders do too. Any cup version probably won't have any extra power because this will start hitting meg 225 sales.
