I got mine a while ago. Haven't done anything about it cos it says they want £95 if it needs swapping. My guess from reading this thread is that if it's over 10 years old then you have to pay. My shed is 12.5 now :o

:clap: Yay! Second time I've been spotted but the first time in this car!

It's a Phase 1 with a 182 boot and interior yes. Sorry - that's like swearing in this thread I know. But Ph1 dash is about as attractive as an elephant having a s**t! There's no way I could look at that every day lol

Steering Wheel Retrim is next on the list!

Drove it down to the petrol station to use the industrial pressure washer then drove it back home and gave it a good wash!

I was trying to sell mine not so long ago for 83k with ph2 dash conversion belts and dephaser done a year ago for 1600 and had zero interest lol

Don't think he realises you need to spunk 3k on itbs to get that kind of power lol http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/renault-clio-172-sport-remapped-to-210bhp-/160964308862?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item257a386f7e no pics though, so its obviously just as mint as he says it is - despite mentioning several...

I do ~30k miles per year so I put winter tyres on, quite surprising how much better they are than summer tyres when there is snow/lots of rain about.

Today to the Phase 1 I fitted: Koni sports suspension all round, pure motorsport top mounts and strut brace kit, and had winter tyres put on my spare set of F1s. All on the snow covered driveway, my fingers are just about working properly again now!

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/160936980739?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1558.l2649 Cheapest one on there by quite some way, good little motor done 9000 trouble free miles in it since mid september.

I have heard that before that the clio leather is not really leather cos it has a synthetic coating or something on it. Ah well, kept me busy for half an hour lol

Anyone used Dodo Juice Iron Gloss?

Ok cool thanks for your help. Will update once I've had a go with a brush! I wouldn't normally use a conditioner either but it came as part of the bundle I got for xmas so thought I'd give it a go.

Thank you! Wow - certainly never looked like that! looked like I had wiped some water on it lol. They should tell you this on the instructions!

Can you recommend one?

Hopefully you can still see as I had to resize it to be forum friendly PS - yes I know some swirls remain - only used SF4000 on this occasion

When I had my arctic I used tough coat after a good machine polish and it still looked fantastic - will see if I can find a pic

Using my new detailing bits which I got for christmas on a 182 rear bench which got delivered today so thought I'd give it a clean before I put it in the car. I used the Hide leather cleaner as per the instructions, cloth was a bit dirty but not too bad. Repeated the process with the leather...

My GF bought me this lot for christmas! (what a bird :D) Quite disappointed with the buckets though tbh - was expecting them to have built in grit guards and have some AF branding on the buckets. The grit guards are the same I bought 2 for £11 for my cheapo £1 buckets lol. I think the products...

Had a productive day with the ph1 today, tested the alternator to find out that it was broken so took the alternator off (and everything else in the way!) and took the opportunity to fit the RS stamped inlets that have been sat in my shed for the last year. Now to source a replacement alternator...

Gave both of them a wash!

Picked the F1s up from being powdercoated

Possibly - how cheap is cheap?

I too have found that TC doesn't last that long on top of tripple. Tripple gets a lot of love on here but I'm not a fan of these AIO products.

Yeah I fixed it, sprayed a load of WD around there, looks like someone has been there before tho as there is solder on the bottom of one of the wires out of the top relay and is loose so have to push it in after the relay has been put in. F00king shed. Next one to find is why the stereo or clock...

Finished fitting the vibratechnics gearbox mount, Refitted the battery that had been on charge. Tried to fire it up but it cranked but wouldn't fire. Plugged the RS tuner in and had about 6 df009 codes - actuator relay fault. Having second thoughts about making it my daily now lol.

Surprised it's on that much, the last one I saw ended at either £1000 or £1200 and was better than that one!

Yeah I think mine was the same - Henk will probably send it to you in the early hours. Will PM now

fitted a new lambda sensor to my phase 1. A job I never ever ever want to have to do again! Tried to swap the gearbox mount for a vibratechnics one but couldn't get it out. Took my anger out on my airbox and smashed it to bits - anyone selling a ph1 airbox? lol
