Okay, I'm a little behind here (12 hour time difference) so please excuse me, also please excuse the new thread about the old thread. I'll try and be clear about what went on during the 40 minute dice (please bear with me). This was a very unusual situation where two cars were driven...

4100 miles and 3 owners already, even the people who've owned it couldn't stand that colour for too long!:dapprove:

By the way, what makes the Osram Silverstar such a good bulb and how much better than standard halogens will they be?

"hope that helps" you say! It's incredidly helpful, Osram Silverstars it is, thanks a million, you're a superstar!

That's what I'm asking McBunny! I'm told that thy are brighter, whiter and longer lasting than the cheapo ones. Do you know different?

OK so there's loads of aftermarket bulbs out there and some are pony. I've seen some 8500k H7's and HB3's. What do people think, are the Vision Plus and Osram ones the way to go or should I stump up a little less for these ultra high temp baby's (they are 30 quid for the 2 pairs, H7's and...

The 182 will do 112 in fourth (true, not indicated) that's 12% higher and with a lower rev limit.

The gear ratios have been engineered to figuratively show the 197 at it's best. 63mph in 2nd is to allow it to hit 100kph (62.5 mph)with only one gearchange (Mandatory Euro 0-100kph figures) and the 4th gear topping out at just over 100mph is for the same reason (0-160kph Euro to achieve the...

Does anyone know how much a 195/50/15 Michelin Pilot Exalto is in the UK (from say Micheldever). I'm in New Zealand and we can't get them at all (so the car is currently running Plonko Morongo Dongo's or something) so I'm considering shipping one out to go with my unused spare one? Also is it...

I'm with this guy.

Hi guys, I have just had a test drive in a MK1 2001 Clio 172, it has done 38,000 miles, with FPSH and is in very good shape (cheap tyres aside). The only issues that I have with it is a 'treacly' feeling gearbox (otherwise nice and prescise) and 'treacly' steering (like thick treacle is in the...

Well said, I can't fathom how a seller thinks he will get a quote from a dealer for a trade in or straight sale that will be anywhere close to a private sale price. The difference is absorbed by overhead and a reasonable margin. Who really fancies running a forecourt full of 40 vehicles at say...

Autocar have done it (issue 26 July), check out the performance figures, both the standing start and through the gears and also check out how low the gearing is to make up for the power to weight ratio loss over the previous model. I love this car and would love to own one but the gains...

Excellent unbiased post trophy boy, I agree. Remember that for years EVO mag gave the Focus RS an absolute kicking for it's unruly bumpy road handling and only revised their opinion after recently driving a "tamer" version.

What was the speed at the end of the 10.8 run?

I'm writing from New Zealand where we only have 3 Clio V6's in the whole country, a handful of Clio 172's and 60 million sheep. I'm looking to buy a Mk1 Clio 172 and would like to know what to look out for on a car that I've been offered (2001, 40,000 miles) can anyone help please. I'm...
