There was this same question a little while ago but I can't find it by searching... Are there any companies that specialise in just insuring a car for one day?

Apologies if this has been asked before, but are there any Head Units around that will be compatible with the standard 172 Alpine CD Changer? I don't want to deviate from standard too much, but the cassette Head Unit just isn't powerful enough!

Just a little post to say I floored my new (well, old) Mk1 172 for the first time tonight. Was on a small dual laner, kept it in 2nd and put my foot down, felt the surge not so much at 5k revs, but a little bit past... the sound, OMG! That induction roar along with the custom exhaust so sounds...

This is a really basic question, but I only tried once this evening and the book is in the car still, so thought I'd just get a quick answer on here! How do you get the CD Changer cartridge out of the changer in the Phase 1 172? I've slid the 'door' back and tried pressing the orange button...

Bought my 172 today, not driven it too much but certainly getting used to the serious fun factor! :D Findind the accelerator pedal a little hard to work with compared to my Fiesta, I seem to either stand still or rev the t!ts off of it! Getting better though! Pics don't do it justice, the...

Apologies for posting this in the wrong forum, but I can't put it in General yet. Just wondering where I can find the complete spec for the Mk1 172? Not only performance, but all the little details about what's included in these cars (electrics, air con?, etc, etc) just so I know what to...

I saw a 172 today, and the guy said when he bought it, it was still standard but he had it rolling roaded at 184bhp. He since fitted a Viper Induction kit with cold air feed to the front fog light 'hole' and this has increased the Max Power to 190-odd, with a rolling road graph to prove it...

Yay! Just thought Id delve further into insurance quotes for the 172 Im sure you all know I want, and found that Admiral will do it for 729 FC with my mum as a named driver. Considering that Im currently paying just under £600 for a Fiesta Si, this has made my day! I then rang Norwich Union to...

Just wondering what your thoughts are really. Im after a 172 and it seems that I can save myself some money / get a newer example, buy getting one off Ebay. Is it worth it? Eg...

I test drove a 182 yesterday (cant beat those free M&S vouchers!) and I have admittedly fallen in love. The 5k kick just put a smile on my face that I couldnt remove! However, the salesman was saying that the only 182s they have left are those with Cup packs and about 150 Trophys, so it...

Basically Ive had my heart set on a Phase 1 172 for a while, and will be getting a loan in October which will then mean I can afford to buy one. But... Im just wondering whether it would be a wiser decision to get a new 182 on finance, end up paying approximately the same monthly payments and...

I just posted a message, simply giving my opinion that this site has lost its edge a bit, in a hope that I would be given some reassurance that it is still as good as ever... and it was deleted! Charming....

I was just reading an old post and Friends and family was mentioned in relation to getting a cheaper deal from Renault dealers. Anyone know how this works, and how I (who has no connections within Renault) can take advantage!?! [Edited by acrebo on 21 January 2005 at 11:07pm]

Thats it, just thought Id share my frustration. :(

Basically.... Im just wondering how open Renault dealers are in general about booking test drives for cars of theirs. I only ask because I am looking to pick up a 172 at some point when I can afford it, but after hearing so many rave reviews for the 182 I thought itd be worth a test, although...

Hi everyone, Im new to the site and, despite owning a Fiesta Si currently, am looking to buy myself a Clio 172 Mk1 after Christmas has come and gone. Basically I love the crazy performance figures from a car that looks like it should be owned by your mum! However, a simply change of wheels and...
