Not doing much for our image but a Silver Mk2 172 came up my road in the Warmley area of Bristol with the windows down and his non standard stereo turned right up so that it could be heard a mile away. He had come to see my neighbour and after chatting to him went flying down the road flat...

Green Mk1 172 on the Avon Ring Road then going into the Shell Garage on Badminton Road. Driver had his missus in the passenger seat then headed off in the direction of Bromley Heath.

Mate of mine has a 1.2 16v and the engine management light keeps coming on and putting the car into get you home mode. It often resets on its own if he turns it off and on again. Its been doing it since new and the car is now out of warranty. Typical Renault it has been in loads of times under...

This morning at about 7:20 a Racing Blue 182 with white stripes stuck in the queue on the 2+ lane of the Ring Road at Downend. Personalised plate. Think maybe it was "B" then a single number.

Saw a black RS Clio dunno if it was a 172 or 182 but it had aftermarket black alloys with quite thin spokes on it. Pulling out of Cadbury Heath Road onto Tower Road by the Spar shop at about quarter past 7 this morning. I went past on my bike whilst you were waiting to pull out.

My car was serviced at the end of Feb and I just raised the bonnet for the first time today :o On top of a screw being missing from the engine cover (w*nkers) I noticed a piece at the front of the engine is completely loose and rattling around!!! I can't work out how to do it up. I think...

Smashed up silver 172/182 02 plate I think at Cribbs last night at 7:30 on the roundabout by BK? Anyone?

Just got my car back from the 12000 miles service although it had only done 8300 miles (had it 18 months so thought about time). Anyhow I see on the bill I have been charged for petrol treatment? Whats that all about? My front pads were worn 30% and my rears 10% and that shocked me a bit cos...

My brother just rang up Telewest to order the installation of our High Def boxes with the HDD in them. Only one per household according to Telewest (which my brother allocated to himself!) although you could have two in the "near future". Well Telewest told me in 1998 when I got analogue cable...

In the Shell Garage in Downend at maybe ten past 9 on Saturday. Looks like he had his kid in the passenger seat. I think he saw me in my titanium 182 walking to and from the pumps to pay. I was also in the Impreza P1 that came past about half an hour later on the ring road when the Clio was...

Wtf is this….? Did a “track day” today and everytime I hit 100mph I get this squealing whining noise! It is definitely speed and not rev related and starts at about 95mph and reaches its peak at 100. Then as you lift off it dies down and disappears by about 95mph. I think I remember reading...

Went in the Mill House last night and my mate and I parked up next to each other in Sainsburys carpark as the pub carpark was full. He has a silver Mk1 V6 and mine is a Silver cupped 182. Someone was pulling out of Sainsburys carpark (by Argos really) in what I think was a Cup as opposed to...

Has anyone used a good old fashioned wired pad? I have the wireless pad and a play and charge kit but the rumble effect is very weak even with the charge cable connected. I see that the wired pad has options for strong, weak and no rumble. Is it a more powerful a rumble than the wireless pads?

A chav mate of mine has just bought a Mk1 V6. He is convinced that the air intakes on the side and the engine covers are made of carbon fibre! Didn't look like carbon fibre to me but can anyone confirm that he is wrong?!

My mate is now on his third car of the year having had a CTR, an S2000 and now a Mk1 V6. He did a direct swap, its silver on an 02 plate with 13k on the clock and looks like a brand new car apart from one chip on the left rear wheel which you don't notice. The previous owner had stuck to the...

Weird experience on the evening of Tuesday 20th and I apologise for my ignorance if the person involved reads this. I was out in my 182 for the first time in a fortnight as I now ride to work. I took the car out for a gentle run just to keep it in working order. I was crawling down the Avon...

Weirdo woman from up the road with a drink problem got hammered last night. She had been banned for drink driving previously and according to the neighbours smashed her car up again and got caught. All I know is loads of cop cars were outside her house this morning no doubt sorting out her poor...

Well my neighbour hasnt written his Cup off yet and so I took the opportunity to get some photos of his new wheels and white door stickers courtesy of my K750i. http://img232.echo.cx/img232/5273/danclio11vg.jpghttp://img232.echo.cx/img232/5273/danclio11vg.jpg...

After my neighbour bought a 182 Cup his mate decided to get one as well. Had a call last night from my neighbour asking me for help because they had some problems with the new 182 Cup his mate picked up yesterday. You wont be surprised to hear that it had no front splitter - I mean FFS how...

Seen this car a few times now and last saw it Friday going down the ring road under the M32 and through the Hambrook lights. Seems to make a point of coming up close behind me.

Remember back in January my neighbour got a 182 and promptly picked up his final three points so had to hand it back: http://img141.echo.cx/img141/2833/originalclioneighbours0xt.jpghttp://img141.echo.cx/img141/2833/originalclioneighbours0xt.jpg Well here we are five months later and I come...

Two 172’s spotted on the Bristol Ring Road. I saw a Silver Mk2 172 this morning with black 16v badges on the side strips but I believe it was a genuine 172 driving around the MOD roundabout in Filton heading across in the Filton direction. A guy at work owns a supercharged Swift and claims...

Arctic Blue 182 in the Shell garage on Badminton Road in Downend, Bristol this morning. Had a personalised plate beginning with "W" and the driver looked like a bit of a gimp as he just ignored me when I pulled up behind him waiting for the pump.

Silver 172 or 182 (only saw the front) with dark grey looking stripes. Parked up on Badminton Road in Downend Bristol near the Shell Garage.

Just got my 182 back from the dealers after having the emissions light looked at - dunno what they did, they didnt say! Anyway I have noticed that everytime I get my car back from them it smells strongly of that smell it had inside when it was new. Now I know it still smells like it did when...

Just came out of Comet in Longwell Green Bristol and two geezers were walking around my car looking in and stuff!!! I went over and one of them started asking me all about it etc cos he was looking at buying one! He already knew you could get it cheap online so he had been doing some...

Had a Smart Roadster owner giving me abuse in work today saying he once had a 2.0 Megane and sold it due to it being utter sh1te. He said the engine was pants because if you parked it facing up hill or something the rain would get in and it wouldnt start. He then got to the point (I saw it...

My mate just had his front bumper smashed up on his Extreme by some moron in a van that drove off. He pushed the bumper back into place and it seems to be holding but part of it at the wheel arch is completely torn off. The fog lights seem ok. How much is it likely to cost him for a new...

I have noticed that the left hand exhaust on my car gets hotter and is dirtier inside than the right hand exhaust? As if most of the exhaust gasses is passing through left handside. Something wrong or no?
