You may have seen my other thread about the clio I was taking my girlfriend to see, well that sold. Anyway, there is one for sale near where she lives. It's a mk2 ph2 1.4 clio. 2004 reg.
Just after advice on what to look out for really. I know most of it will be common sense, but servicing...
My missus is getting her first car in the next couple of weeks. She has see a 2005 clio for sale at the local Renault Sunwin garage (known to be a bit of a rip off).
It's done 37k miles, looks in good nick, fairly standard spec...
It's up for £4990, which to me is a bit over priced...but...
After selling my 172 which was awesome and I loved how it looked and drove (now cliolou's car), I'm tempted to come back and get either an RB or black gold 182.
Not bothered about spending loads on it, just the usual sheep stuff like silvervisions, maybe eibach -30mm springs and coloured...
Yet another one of these threads lol, everyone seems to be selling then regretting it. This is my old one (now owned by cliolou)
A few things bugged me, i.e. seat position, rattles and the hard ride (which wouldn't be too bad, but english roads are f**king sh*t).
I'm quite tempted to get...
Said I'd put up a comparison once I'd done a few more miles in my GSI. Sold the flamer to a fellow member on here (cliolou). I miss it, but not as much as I'd thought. I'd had it knocking on 2 years and spent loads on it (coilovers, wheels, brakes, cam belt, alternator, spoiler, splitter etc...
Well after selling the 172 to a fellow member (even though transaction is yet to be completed lol, its 99% there though), I've kinda jumped into getting a mk4 astra gsi. It's not a long term thing, just wanted a bit of a toy with boost and that's bigger and more comfortable than a coilover'd...
I've got a choice to make now, either sell my 172 and buy something like a focus ST, astra VXR, mk4 R32 or similar (basically something that doesn't rattle etc), or keep it and spend a bit of money on it over a few months, i.e. buckets, cage, decat, remap etc.
Ideally i'd keep it and just make...
Need to create a database for uni over the next couple of weeks, but the version on my laptop of MS Access is turd and won't let me create a subform, asks me to install it (I don't have the cd). Is there anyway around this (i.e. getting add ons from the internet to allow me to do what I need...
I recently went to JP exhausts to have my back box straightened up slightly and a new tip on my exhaust. since then, every now and again there's a really annoying knocking noise from (I assume) the exhaust. I've had a poke around and the exhaust seems sterdy, and there's ample gap between the...
I'm trying to do a countif on excel, but there are some hidden cells that I don't want it to include...is there a way of doing this? I've tried using ctrl and just selecting the columns i want but it doesn't work...?
My blowers on my ph2 172 have stopped working. They will only work on the lowest setting (can see the screen demisting ever so slightly even on full blast, and can feel a little bit of heat coming out, kinda like a rat is blowing through a ribena straw which is useless at this time of year). I...
My stop light and oil light keeps coming on and staying on now.
Someone mentioned it could be the oil pressure switch. any ideas how easy it is to change, or roughly how much to get a local garage to change it?
I went to JP Exhausts in macclesfield yesterday morning, top blokes and top job.
How it was (backbox sagging, the tip geneally looked s**te)
After JP tweeking
and an extra bit of whorage
comments welcome

Is there a list of all the part numbers and prices for 172 parts anywhere?
Need a few prices and part numbers. When I try and explain what I want to my local renault garage it takes them about 10 mins to find the thing on their system. So i'd rather have the part no. and price at hand!
Cheers
Going to get a new splitter next week. I've currently got a k-tec 'Carbon Fibre' one but its a bit crack and needs replacing. thinking I might spend the extra and get one from renault. Just a thread to post your splitters, whether is CF, cup, cupra r, megane....to help me decide :)
here's mine
Does anyone know how much a ph2 172 bonnet is from renault?
Also any ideas on how much it would cost to get the front end resprayed (bonnet, bumper and wings)
Not crashed, but my bonnet is pretty poo (sratchs dents etc) and loads of chips on the front end.
Cheers

Anybody used these before?
I want a new tail pipe and the backbox adjusting, any ideas how much that'd cost, cos I have no clue (I will ring up at some point just want peoples views first)

I'm trying to find a car insurer that won't rape me for monthly payments. The only one I've found that's interest free for paying monthly is Virgin. They quotes me 670 quid for 12 months, which was like 50 odd quid a month (I'm 21 with 2 years NCB), I got all excited but then realised the...
Every now and again when my engine is on, there's a really loud whirring/vibrating noise coming from the front end of the car.
I had a check under the bonnet last night with the engine still running, and it seems to be coming from behind the N/S headlamp, in one of the connectors.
Any clues to...
I thought I'd lost my car keys yesterday and I don't have a spare set. How much would it have cost to sort out getting a new set from renault if I had actually lost them and couldn't get in my car?
