it came out in 1998 and they facelifted in end of 2000

doesn't affect it imo. However if the clutch is anything like the 172/182 i think i would be stalling it plenty.

What does everyone reckon? Considering the Clio 2 was face lifted after less than 3 years.

why's that?

they don't use any more fuel than an old shape mini cooper. And there are loads of instructors running those.

location of sensor anyone?

so many people out there doing it now though got to have something to attract people, sure he doesn't have a shortage of students. Probably young male ones. did i mention it was G Glitter school of driving ;)

i would avoid the laguna. 1.9 diesel prone to problems, poor electrics (especially tire pressure sensors) and they eat rear axle bushings.

thats why its cat C, needs to be taken for an identity check as it is considered likely to be ringed up. On modern cars its not as easy as that though as many items are identifiable to each vehicle. not just the usual vins.

nah otherwise they wouldn't light up. ive had them apart. not a problem i can see on the pcb. well 1 lights up anyway.

bump is the sensor for the key inside the UCH then?

Saw a driving school had got a 197 today. bet thats fun :)

why you shouldn't plough snow with a clio... or if you are going to, don't confuse other cars for snow drifts.

i would definitely avoid the drilled disks, as said they crack.If your going to get some spend some money as cheap ones are garbage. stock items are fine for the track just upgrade the pads.

i did wonder wether it was becuase the battery was disconnected for a while. The UCH did get a little wet in the flood. But its not affected anything else. If i sit in the car and press the lock button it locks.

now both keys start the car. But only one lights up when you press the button. still doesn't unlock the car though.

theyre not plastic theyre a fibre type material. Barely any flex in relation to the mk2 ph2 wing, and it won't cause a problem anyway.

no need for a new wing. Take it to a decent bodyshop and they should skim it with filler and paint that and blow it into the wing for you.

ph1 172. one key lights up when you press the button but doesn't deactivate immobilizer, other key doesn't light up but does start the car. It was flood damaged but all other electrics work just not the remote locking. Where is the Sensor located? and is there an easy way to tell wether its the...

+ Models came with Sunroof as standard. Dropped the + later.

why do they break down less? theyre virtually the same car... except the 182 has more electronic trickery to go wrong. Actually think about something before saying it.

i was supposed to win a prize last year but never did :(

Im still winning by a country mile

Yeh it is, well im guessing they look at the estimate for parts and there is a cut off point where D becomes C based on % more to repair than the market Value.

yeh same condition. Usually to cost of repair is significantly more if its a C, hence it would be likely someone would ring it instead of repairing it, which is why they VIC it. As i say airbags etc from Renault are silly money.

30 quid ish Could be repaired.

yeh its Cat C for a reason and used parts arnet easy to come by, but i would imagine its the airbags/pretensioners etc that bump the price up a great deal.

no problems with the electrics really. Bit of a myth that came from earlier Renaults. Sometimes probems with resistor pack in heater but its a 5 min job to change and theyre not too expensive second hand.

i would go and give it some beans down the motorway. Cats can get a bit eggy smelling if not used for a bit. if its still smells the cat is nackered. Oh and if its no longer under warranty don't ring Renault $$$$$$$$

do the bonnets always meet the bumper where the renault badge is like that?
