Some people are idiots!! What's the point in doing that. A couple of weeks ago someone dipped paint stripper over my mum's Jag, now that's in a state. Made me think how easy it is someone wreck your car in a second.

That's me mate. RX53 *** It's good to put a face to the name.

I popped in Fri afternoon, ESP & service light coming on.

Anyone???

Brake fluid mate!

....

The ESP & Service light keeps coming on every now and again. Once I turn the engine off and back on it's gone, will this still show up if I take it back in to Renault. The car is out of warranty now, but I had a new brake switch under warranty about 9 months ago, could it be that?

That may be the toxic flumes warning light, so could be a sensor problem???

The 4k rattle strikes again, it's the mid-section of the exhaust. It went when I had the mid-section replaced under warranty, they don't last long.

I would wait, I did. I was 19 and really loved the 172 but kept my Escort and waited till I was 21, saved alot of money on insurance. You will find most people do as paying over £150 a month on insurance is nuts. We have all been there, young and wanting a fast car.

I'm after reasonable car cover for the winter, just as an overnight protection. I've found a few around £60, as I don't want to spend a lot. Can anyone recommend one and where to get one??

My insurance company won't cover trackday insurance at Castle Combe, but they will everywhere else. Castle Combe is only 10mins from me too.

Your car looks awesome on the motorway, it stands out a mile. I know the traffic is really bad on the ring road in the morning trying to get on the motorway.

The air con makes no difference on the first service, maybe apart from a £10 pollen filter.

They lost out then and you did well. £10.5k for the trade in on the 182, but he paid the full 14k for the 225. It should be paid on the car, ask renault when the warranty runs out when you take it in. (I think he did anyway?) The Recaro's are awesome, a shame about the rear seats though.

He had the strips put on the car before he even driven it. It was bought from SJ Cooks in Bristol Last June '05' and had a private out on it straight away. It's had a easy life, my Sister drove it all the time as her and my mate are together. Nope it's never been back for anything, I...

Normal around 35 - 38mph, mixture of driving motorway and dual carriageway blasts.

www.carlton-exmouth.com It might be worth taking a drive down Exmouth, for the service.

Did you get it from Peformance Point in Bedminster? That's my mates old car, which he traded in for the Black/Gold 225 they had. I saw by Nailsea the other day.

Yep, the same. Is your 182 black/gold with Grey strips?

SJ Cooks in Bristol did my 24k service and that was about £190. Try Platinum Renault in Bath or Chippenham. All the stealers charge big money for labour.

Thanks guys, ended up going with greenlight. The prices where quite similar, but the excess was much cheaper with greenlight.

Once I had the centre box replaced it was fine. You can only hear it slightly when you nail it round a right hand bend at 4k, but it's much better.

Spotted a Sliver 'RX02' PhII, 172. - PhI silver 172 - 'WR52' Blue 172 Cup about 8:00 last night on the ring road by the Beefeater and Sainsbury's Also this morning I saw a red MkII V6 with a Private Plate on the M5 by Cribbs, spotted it a few times now.

Join the club, they all do that. I had a new mid-section under warranty, but after a few 1000miles it's came back. Nothing to worry about.

The Megane 225, + remap = 267bhp!!! But probably a Vee for a few months, just to say I had one. I couldn't afford to run a Vee as I do to many miles.

My insurance is due on Thursday, so far Greenlight is the winner. Greenlight = £757 - £350 excess Churchill = £777 - £650 excess (Own fault damage) Directline = £816 - £750 excess (Own fault damage) Elephant = £2116 (They always quote me high) Norwich Union = Won't quote (me happy) at...

It is my mates old one, when he got his 225. The Cup splitter is missing off it though??

I would say £5.5k - £6k as it's low mileage.

Going towards Nailsea yesterday about 16:10ish, **05 NZO, Black/Gold, Grey Strips. I think that's my mates old car, bought from Performance Point???
