To re-introduce myself........Im Martin, 28 from Edinburgh and I drive a standard '55 plate 182 in Black Gold which I've owned for 1 year.
Does anyone know of any companies that specialise in insuring 17 year olds who have just passed their driving test? My g/f's brother is trying to get his first insurance policy and the best quote TPFT is just over £1900 which was found through Confused.com.
Any help appreciated.....
I'm test driving a "W" plate Clio 1.4 S later this afternoon for my g/f's brother as this could be a decent first car for him.
The car is from a garage and will have 1 years MOT at time of sale. It's done 67k miles but there is no service history docs in the car. Apparently a girl came to view...
Black gold 182 (which had a nice sounding induction kit BTW) heading towards Longstone from Wester Hails. Passed me as I was turning into Parkhead/Sighthill around 4:45-5pm.
Y plate (French pressed metal plate) 172 in Maroon (cant remember the exact naming of the colour) spotted in the car park of Western Toyota in Edinburgh. Probably around 4pm time.....looked nice and shiney!
My girlfriend is insured fully comp on her Corsa with Quinn Direct and I am a named driver on the policy. I paid the insurance for her in full in September 2006.
Last month we added her brother onto the policy as a named driver for a week at a cost of around £40. I gave my card details over...
Read this on another forum - no way this can be true!
"An extra 25bhp with a simple ram air (supercharger) system.
What you want to do is go to pc-world... get four 50mm pc case
fans.
You cut four 50mm circles out of the top of the air box and
attach the fans. Make sure you get them...
Spotted a black gold Clio V6 in the car park of Evan's Halshaw Renault in Edinburgh from Wednesday or Thurday of last week. I assume it was in getting the crack on the front bumper repaired?
Here are a few pics I took at Crail yesterday - it started off very wet but dried off in the middle of the day......unfortunately the best time I could manage was 15.8 on the 1/4 mile :(

I don't know much about cars so excuse this thread :o
Tonight I have noticed a wet patch underneath the centre of my Clio 182's front bumper. Having looked in the engine bay from above I can't see where the leak is coming from. Does anyone know where this could be coming from?
No lights are...
I spotted a convoy of 5 or 6 V6's heading northbound on the M1 near Leicester after FCS. Got a thumbs up from the blue V6 that was leading the convoy - I was in the black 182 :cool:
Nice quiet non mag day which meant plenty of runs up the 1/4 mile - I managed to run a 14.955 in my Clio 182! :) There was lovely sunny weather but it was pretty chilly due to being pretty windy. The only other Clio in attendance on the day was possibly the worst Mk 1 Oasis 1.2 with 5 doors...
How easy is it to change side-light bulbs and front indicators? I fancy changing the indicator bulbs for the silver ones that flash orange and getting whiter side-lights.
Can they be changed easily or does the light or bumper need to be removed for access?
I have a '55 plate Clio 182.
Any...
I found a button in the Clio that I've never noticed after 2 months of ownership. It's on the right stalk behind the steering wheel and it is to the left of the button you turn for the rear wipers.
It looks like it speeds something up/down but can't see anything in the manual. What is it? :S
Good day of 1/4 mile action at Crail today - nice and dry but bitterly cold. Good to see a few Clio's on the strip today......a W plate silver 172, a 54 plate blue (the lightest one - can't remember the correct name for the colour!) with race stripes 182 (and cliosport window sticker!) and also...
Anyone know how I can get in to a W-reg Clio Grande bonnet that isn't opening by the usual lever? I think the cable that pops the bonnet has snapped or has come off it's catch.
I bought a stainless steel battery cover off of ebay last week for my 182 and it arrived earlier this week.
Has anyone fitted this part before? If so, any tips?
On Sunday I had my Clio 182 rolling roaded at Peugeot Ecosse with the gtiowners club website. (my previous car was a 106 GTi)
I was happy with how it got on giving 179bhp @ flywheel and 137bhp @ wheels. My car is totally standard but the big surprise was it made more bhp than a modified Clio...
One of the bulbs on my 182 is not working. It is the one that is furthest on the right had side of the o/s headlight.....I think it is the xenon one. Is this correct?
If so, how much is a new one from Renault? Is it easy to fit? Or is there somewhere else that may do them cheaper?
Cheers!
I've had my Clio 182 for about 3 weeks now and I'm really enjoying it. I've never had cruise control on a car before and enjoy messing with this on motorways and dual carriageways.
When I set the cruise control the speedo needle does not sit at the same speed, e.g. I have to set the cruise...
I have a Clio 182 and fancy getting the decat for it. My car is a '55 plate - am I best to get the manifold to cat fitting kit or will what's there already be good enough to re-use?
Im Martin, 27 from Edinburgh. I drive a black gold '55 plate Clio 182 with both Cup Packs.
I saw your club stand and Trax and thought I'd better get myself registered with this forum.
