    Jim's Black Ph2 172 (Just like everyone else's!)

    Thanks lads! No idea about CSF yet, will have to read up on it!

    Jim's Black Ph2 172 (Just like everyone else's!)

    Quiet in here isnt it! :tongueout: Not much of an update, but tried every product in my garage to try and sort out the yellow headlights. Didn’t seem to be making much progress but compared to the other side it seemed an improvement. Will probably just use wet & dry next time! I’m doing it by...

    Silver 182, Accrington

    Just seen you drive past my work at the top of Dill Hall Lane/Church Lane in Clayton Le Moors. Anyone here? My 172 would have been at the side of the road. Jim

    Jim's Black Ph2 172 (Just like everyone else's!)

    Right then. For a while I owned this: Loved driving it, ended up at quite a decent spec, 330bhp, coilovers, Spec C interior etc, but it cost me a fortune as a daily. Plus it was too scary having the best part of £10,000 (total I'd put into it) on track. I couldn't push myself. The main...

    Clio wheel adaptors?

    Depending on what they look like from behind they MIGHT be able to be re-drilled.

    Clio wheel adaptors?

    Look for an et number stamped into the back of the wheel and people will be able to help you more.

    "Loose" steering over rough roads

    New to Clios but my first thought was it could need an alignment. To me, the wheel pulling sounds like too much toe out & maybe caster. But I'm guessing, and I am also an idiot (disclaimer).

    £1000 Clio 172 - What problems to look for?

    Half of the mini belongs to my old man and he wants his share back!

    £1000 Clio 172 - What problems to look for?

    Of course. However I'm of the mind that any car can have issues, and I'm fully expecting to have to sort out issues with the car, so paying over my budget and THEN having to do an oil change, new brake fluid, etc at a minimum wouldn't sit right with me. And that isnt aimed at Bloke's car, thats...

    £1000 Clio 172 - What problems to look for?

    Apart from the fact it was £150 over my top budget, and £350 over what I wanted to pay, and I haven't sold my classic mini yet....

    £1000 Clio 172 - What problems to look for?

    Thanks! Great advice! I'm expecting a few niggles but I suppose the lack of rust is a blessing!

    £1000 Clio 172 - What problems to look for?

    Ah jesus sounds like a minefield. That said, no worse than buying any other car I suppose!

    £1000 Clio 172 - What problems to look for?

    Perfect, thank you. So nothing nasty to sneak up on me then? I'm expecting for my budget it may need a bit of TLC on items like that.

    £1000 Clio 172 - What problems to look for?

    Hi all, I’m looking to buy a 172 in the coming few months to avoid me ruining my 335d with track focused mods (also I don’t think a full leather interior, autobox and diesel engine will be as good as my last car on track!). In an attempt to avoid buying something simply to give me something...

    Outsiders Japan - Driftworks Film.

    I thoroughly enjoyed it. Conveys the general 'feel' of Japan very well.

    Is £200 good for turinis with four tyres at 6.5 mm ?

    Surely that's cheap even if the tyres were bald? Or am I too used to dealing with larger diameter wheels? Lol.
