    Clio v6 - yum but hummmm

    No, less c***s required TBQFH.

    Clio v6 - yum but hummmm

    Yep. Sick of all the 'motor trade' on here who know better, as opposed to those who actually know.

    My Clio V6!

    Off out of here, if you want it then the details are on the ad. Possibly breaking it - if you drop me an email via my profile I'll arrange bits through that.

    Clio v6 - yum but hummmm

    Right, f**k it then. It'll got for 12k (as apparently that's what it's worth?!) and I'll be glad to be shot of it. I'll get the 106 just so I don't have to be branded with the rest of this forum.

    A year older...

    Clio v6 - yum but hummmm

    Ok. Right, challenge then Dawn as you know best, find me one in immaculate condition with near new tyres all round and all servicing up to date without a mark on either the inside or the outside for cheaper. Simple challenge.

    Clio v6 - yum but hummmm

    Not again... IF I want opinions on the price of my car, I'll ask for it.

    Clio v6 - yum but hummmm

    f**k that for a game of cricket. Front disks - £500. Rears are £300-400 from memory. Pads are another £100-£150, tyres are £200 a pop. Beast of a service. I did mine over 3 weeks so it hurt less! LOL!

    Clio v6 - yum but hummmm

    Maybe try putting your opinion across without calling an established member's advert 'verbal diarrhoea'? Or maybe even thinking about what you're putting, because common sense didn't prevail in your post. What you said was you'd rather buy a £14-15k car and spend £2-4k on it, than spend £16k...

    Clio v6 - yum but hummmm

    Best get mine on eBay tonight! LOL!
  11. Mike_182

    Clio v6 - yum but hummmm

    Aye - £4k is a touch steep (main stealer price for what I had done maybe?) but mine easily saw £2k. For someone to suggest that it's 'wrong' to want a fraction of that on top of the price for one without the work just demonstrates how out of touch they are...

    Windscreen restoration

    Aye, get someone with a machine polisher to give it a thorough mopping with a harsh compound.

    What position do you sit?

    Bigger motors (certainly the 5-series and A6) actually brake from the CC - so if you hang on the stick for dear life trying to slow it down it puts the brakes on!

    anyone do D2D2T backups

    Sounds like you want Backup Exec. Downside of the D2D stuff that David's talking about is it is disgustingly expensive compared to a cheap SCSI or Fibre attached storage box like the Fibrenetix. And backup storage needs to be cheap, and fairly reliable - not bulletproof and gold plated!

    when is 172/182 in its prime?

    I was going to say when some c**t gave you some money to take it off your hands. But I used a similar expression on v6clio, and there's someone on there called 'Some c**t'. Fail.

    anyone do D2D2T backups

    ArcServe or Backup Exec (my preference, but only because I'm better at it!) with one of these: http://www.fibrenetix.com/products/333/16938/ Or one of it's smaller brothers. Fantastic and cheap for backup to disk, as it takes your ordinary old SATA disks!

    Clio v6 - yum but hummmm

    So why did you buy one in a different flavour?
  19. Mike_182

    Clio v6 - yum but hummmm

    £16k for my minter with all it's major servicing done for the next three years. http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/1506840.htm

    anyone do D2D2T backups

    What software you using currently? Protecting what products?

    Has remap killed my car?? :(

    LOL! And to the OP - a Diesel engine isn't that complicated, if the pump is going and the injectors are firing you'll get it having half an attempt at going. If it's not even trying (no smoke!) then you want to look at injectors, pump, and any electronic whizzbangs that prevent that running.

    Cursed, Unlucky, or Lucky?

    FPMSL at the door being a different colour and not noticing!

    Leamington/Warwickshire meet

    Yeah, be nice to pop along.

    my 172 cup not as fast as it use to be?

    Suck my salted nuts. I'd need that £8800 to fix it.
  25. Mike_182

    my 172 cup not as fast as it use to be?

    Swap you for a 'real' mint Clio V6 and £16,500 my way.

    My Clio V6!

    Cheers mate. It's nearly brought me to tears, having to sell it. I've had it about five minutes but it's made such a huge impression on me!
  27. Mike_182

    My Clio V6!

    Thanks - done! He wants less miles and keepers but given that already I've had comments that it's one of the best on v6clio.net I'm hopeful that his requirements will be flexible!
  28. Mike_182

    My Clio V6!

    Pep - it's up at that price because I'd sooner have someone phone and say 'would you take £16k' next week than have someone phone tonight and say 'I'll take it' at £15k. If this time next week I've had nothing but spam in my inbox, then I'll probably drop it a shade. Plus, it's a Laguna engine...
  29. Mike_182

    My Clio V6!

    Yup - it's one of those cars that every time you put your foot down, you get a warm, happy feeling in your pants. It could take 6 years to get to 60 for all I cared, the noise made it mental fun.
  30. Mike_182

    My Clio V6!

    Mate, if it came to it I'd give it to you for half that over giving it to a dealer for them to make no less than £8,000 profit on it! Cheers. :)
