Heard Toyos are c**p in the wet. Cannot understand y reno put them on in the first place as std spec!

Just fitted new set of contis on the front and basically they are as bad as the worn ones i had on b4(yes they have been worn in). Will not put any power down regardless of how u apply the throttle. Bridgestone 720s have been recommended. Any suggestions please.

Just received my local free paper, and noticed a Renault dealer selling a Cup. Advert reads 02 Clio Cup 172,Cup Spec £11,995. Contact Website http://www.bridgesrenault.co.ukwww.bridgesrenault.co.uk Also have V6 24v in silver for £21,995.

The Little green light on the dash is the optimum point to change gear i.e when u select the next gear you are more or less straight on the power. I agree with frosty about hitting the rev limiter, as thats the whole point,not to cause engine damage. Stu 172

Had a go with a sapphire cossie today off the lights, road conditions were a bit damp but managed to get a good start. pretty level all the way up to about 80-85 then I decided to back off. I was 2 up he was on his own. Looked like he was going for it as front end of his car was coming up...

I heard the price for the pug 180 GTi was £14,995 in a recent local newspaper motoring report. Pug ugly IMHO, compared to 172. Excuse the pun!

Hi Everyone, Just like to know if anybody knows of a harder wearing tyre than the original contis that come fitted as standard? Ive just gone over the 10k mark and will shortly be in need of a 3rd set of front tyres. Considering my missus drives the car 5 days a week and claims she doesnt...

Hi everyone, just wondered if anyone knows of a harder wearing tyre than the standard contis? Done just over 10k and nearly on to my 3rd set(on the front that is). Yes I know its a powerful car etc,etc as pointed out by a technician in my local Pro-Tyre depot, but is this not a tad excessive...

Just thought Id let you guys know that BP SUL is 97ron not 98 cus I always check the pump. Shell Optimax is actually 99ron as apart from a handful of fill ups my car has always been run on it. As for prices I get it for 78.9 or 79.9 dependant on which garage I use.

Unfortunately cant claim polishing under paint warranty. First polish was a good will gesture by supplying dealer. Havent dared pricing up getting it done myself! As for hosing off, took ten minutes graft to get the last dropping off, just a few minutes after it appeared. Gloucester...
