why no clear indicators? keep the 172, in that case ;) g

youre missing the point, boss - in your case, the forward deceleration was not enough to warrant their deployment. If you go to the NCAP crash test site, search for the Clio and see the damage done to the car; now, compare the front of your car, to that NCAP crash tested car, and youll see quite...

george, i think you are barking up the wrong tree with the airbags - judging by the pics, theres just not sufficient deformation/deceleration for the sensors to trigger them. The softer parts of the car (bumper front wing) seem to have taken the impact, while the hard parts (crunch zone) seems...

we cant have a Scudetto and Scud Missile! :)) thats outrageous! :) g

hmmm. I will do some brake testing this weekend. I think when i said snake, i really meant squirm. I can accept squirm, but not snake. I try it this weekend just to be clear in my head which it really is. g

under emergency braking at say 80mph, my non-cup 172 snakes like a bastardo at the back. g

cyprus isnt in the EU which is why reno get prickly about them. g

you cant help but warm to someone who has the gaule to by a car called a bingybong. g

softness, and strength maybe? g

nope. Ive never had a Cup stuck up my arse. (hee hee - hope it gets sorted) g

i dont so that rules me out. Not guilty. g

hmmm. g

motorbike places can be funny about it, too. try a company that specialises in parts for classic cars (pre 1940 stuff) as they did my small front plate for me. I found them at a classic car show. I look at home and see if i still have their number. g

Tom, are you daring to suggest that Im wrong? :D g

in this case, is doesnt help much - thats how i start mine...and it still doesnt start :) g

mines does it too. Bugged the heck out of me trying to find it! g

ah, thats a separate problem mate. thats because on the start at the petrol station, the car knows it is still cold so I think it tries to put a cold start cycle on top of the original cold start cycle (ie when you started it from your garage), there by enriching the mixture too much. This will...

mines the same - i think its a temp sensor thats wooky. If its very cold, the car starts no probs. If its hot, it starts fine, but when its in the in between stage, i feel it doesnt know whether to do a cold start or warm start - so it does neither and fails to start. I turn the key again, and...

i love that: its the dashboard. The service manager is a donkey. Its the 4k rattle. I quite like it! g

well, I was prepared to give him the benefit of doubt - maybe he genuinely didnt realise hed hit me; but, I still would have pointed out that his recklessness (by cutting the corner) had damaged my car and that he should take more care next time. Except I never caught him... g

no, he didnt stop. After he hit me, the lady in the Tigra behind me boxed me in between her and the parked car in front of me (add swear word here). By the time shed reversed and I completed a Clio-classic 37-point turn on to the road he took, I could see him disappearing. By the time Id turned...

First, about ten years ago, a truck re-arranged the front of my Nova SR. Then, recently, a lorry put a lorry-sized hole in my (former) GTV6. Then, on Friday, a van scuffed along my rear bumper, grazing the paint. Hmmm; theres a pattern developing here... g

Lol!!! ive got to get that gear. Jesus, imagine the looks youd get if you walked through Soho dressed like that! g

lol, yeah, right g

looks like someone dumped a haystack on his head. g

lol! g

hmm, was he dutch? ;) g

you may be, but I was refering to your car. Im sort of English. g

he means are they shy coz they dont speak proper english I think. g

dont hold you breath mate. Mine didnt. ;) g (Vroooom, vrooooooooooom, vrooooooOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM).
