Only just read this thread, absolutely gutted for you Rhys. Hope the f*ckers that did it get all they deserve. On the plus side (if there is one) like others have said you wont lose all your NCB, it will probably just shrink from 5 years to 3.

When I had my VTR (sorry :oops:) some f*ckers stole all 4 of my alloys and left it on bricks!!! And they were only the standard alloys!!! And they had locking nuts on them - that taught me not to leave the locking key in my glove box ever again.

Ive never seen one this cheap since but I got my 172 from motorpoint derby for £10999 (+ £253 for admin & 12 months road tax) just over a year ago.

Ive just been quoted £180 for my 172 12,000 mile service (from Renault Nottingham). Apparently its more expensive than the rest of the Clio range because the pollen filter has to be changed!

Is it worth phoning up a few different Renault dealers and getting quotes coz mines due any day now too? has this just moved or am i losing my mind?

...but the add says 17 compomotives NOT 17" compomotives so maybe you get 13 spare alloys! ;)

About 6-7 years ago I remember everyone loving Dimma kits but then they kinda just stopped talking about them. I remember my mate had a bright yellow peugeot 205 Dimma with a MI16 engine in it. Very quick.

Hi :) Theres a buying guide on the cliosport.net homepage.

Dont know if this helps but exactly the same happened to my clio. Like bambam said it was a loose seatbelt pretensioner on mine. It took two trips to Renault Nottingham to fix it even though they said the first time they were aware of the problem and knew how to fix it.

10 minutes yet :(

Here you go, lowered it for you... http://www.freestyleuk.com/untitled_folder/loweredclio.jpg

I was, of course, being sarcastic.....sorry ;) I mean the Astra SRi rating higher than the 172, really!!!!!!!!

I was just thinking of selling my 172 and getting a Toyota Corolla "T sport" anyway... :sick:

Ive noticed the same thing myself. If Im lazy and dont properly push it into 3rd I often crunch em.

didnt know what colour clio but... http://members.lycos.co.uk/thehype/clioagain.jpg

Take out the back seats, the passenger seat, the spare wheel and the jack - thatll make it faster :)

Am I making this up or is BP unleaded only 93 ron. If so surely its pants.

god Ive got nothing to do today... http://members.lycos.co.uk/thehype/notherclio.jpg thanx girlracer for pic

how about something more like any of these... http://members.lycos.co.uk/thehype/cliowheels.gif

Plus Im worried that the monkeys at the Garage might decide to thrash my car round the block a couple of times. Should I expect them to need to drive it any distance at all? (except in and out of the service area obviously)

Just a quicky but here u go... http://members.lycos.co.uk/thehype/cliopic.jpg thanks to the cliosport gallery for clio pic

And it just so happens Im from Cheshire, not a millionaire yet though. :(

My 172 is fast approaching its first service and I was just wondering if anyone could tell me roughly how much I should be looking at paying (if all goes well). I was going to phone a few Renault dealers anyway ang get a couple of written quotes but it would be good to have idea in my head...

I always thought the williams 0-60 was marginally quicker than the valvers.
