72k miles or 5 years, whichever first.

Buy mine :eek: Anyway, look out for the exhaust, they will drop off after 40k miles, so make sure that's been replaced. Cam belt needs doing at 72k or 5 years, so make sure that's been done too.

I find my car slow, annoyingly slow at times, although I have had it for almost 2 years and I got used to it a long time ago. Still, my passengers gasp and crap themselves whenever I floor it. And when I moan about wanting a faster car I always get the reply; "What's wrong with your car? It's...

Well I said it made no difference, but as said here ^^^ it did make the back end twitchy.

I took the spare, tool kit, back seats and all the mats out of my car, weighed in at 45kg. Ran it like that for a couple of weeks. Would have taken the passenger seat out too if I knew how to. Didn't really make any difference.

Just been to look and nothing. Only word written near it is "Renault".

This is old news. Good showings by the clios though... well... except the 197.

Paid for it up front in full using a building society cheque (basically cash).

That Evo guide is pretty good. Noticed the car is 5 years old and has done 40k miles. Make sure it has had the cambelt done and has a new exhaust (or a SS one), because these will both need changing as soon as you buy the car otherwise.

I don't love my car, I'm always calling it names ha ha. The s****y French rattlebox :approve: The misses loves it though :S She's always going on about it.

Often get bored with mine because I find it so slow. I can't afford to buy anything else though :( Regarding the comments earlier in the thread about seeing your car in a reflection or seeing someone else driving it... I agree, looks mint, makes me like the car again :D

Mine lasted 40k. Got told before it happened that they're very weak and go after about 40k miles... and they do!!

Maybe that was because some monkey at Renault accidently put 95 RON in it :clown:

The price fuel is today, it better be over 100 octane!

Mine drives perfectly fine from the moment I turn the engine on. The idle is as rough as f**k for the first few minutes though. It's normal, wouldn't worry about it.

Ha ha. Mine are down by my ankles :( I often trip over them.

Just wondering.... will the bulb holders from my current ph1 lights come out and fit into the ph2 lenses?

Oooops, silly me. I'm after the standard mk2 ph2 rear lights.

Where would be the best place to buy some from? The lenses and the bulb holders. Thank you.

So is the phase 2 (thanks to the 197). IMO of course.

Same here. Too poor to use super unleaded.

Sure you can't tow? Because I've got a towing eye thingy, why would they give you one if you couldn't tow anything?

Same here, good old 95 RON. Petrol is too expensive anyway and buying super unleaded is like being mugged! Repeatedly.

Someone on another forum spotted this beauty: Beast :D Anyone going to own up? Who's is it? :clown:

Only a few have alloy bonnets and shift lights (mine has just the shift light with no alloy bonnet). Look out for the exhaust - it will drop off after 40k miles so make sure that and the cam belt have been changed. Other than that, look for the usual wear and tear associated with a 5 year...

The only reason I'd personally get a 182 to replace a 172 is because it'd be newer and have less miles. I don't see the 182 as a higher spec model or an upgrade personally, there just isn't enough differences between the cars.

Urgh, no as in don't keep them, remove them. The history behind them is all good and nice, but it's still just a clio and the public is going to see it as a 'chav' mod. As already mentioned, it may attract unwanted attention.

No imo

Ummm.... 145ish?

That's an error :)
