This is exactly what happened to my sisters 182, looks like this is a common fault, it was back at the dealers twice with this.

Ah, that will explain why I dont see the point in a Volvo, I dont do motorways very often, I mostly drive twisty B roads and dual carriageways

I used to wash my exs car, and take it to be serviced, get it taxed etc coz he always forgot. I also wash and polish my car, my mums car and my sister’s car (my sister always helps) Am I a typical woman? I dont think so!! :cool:

Im 35 with a 13 year old kid and from the day he was born Ive had nothing but hot hatches, his first car journey was in a 1985 XR2! Ive never done the big family car thing and never will, I dont understand (unless you have lots of kids) why people think that a baby means boring car, unless...

Before, carbon looks naff when its not the same as the body colour :sick:

I think they look good dirty :D

LOL!!! Imagine the arm ache from waving at ALL Clios on the road :o

This brings back memories!! I had all this cr*p when I first got my 172, it took ages but in the end they gave me the 3 years warranty, and countless washer balls later, Ive learned to live with the drip drip when the washer bottle is full, and my first service was around £170. That first year...

better brakes Why?? Is the ability to hit your head on the windscreen with such ease (nearly did this so many times on the first day of ownership!) not good enough for you?

They can do that off any car in the street

So thats what happens to dead Clios, they get made into spam tins :(

182 with cup pack = :D 172 with pro srings = same :D Standard 182 is better than standard 172 IMO

Dealers are selling low millege 2002 172s for around 10k

Don’t be so stereotypical I’m female, so is my sister and mum and we all have RS Clio’s, firstly for the performance and price and secondly for the looks, as many female and male Clio owners on here have too. I test drove a Mini Works for the same reasons (performance and looks), fantastic...

If you get a 182, youll loose money and then Renault will bring out the next phase and youll want that too! Renault does have this marketing thing down to a tee. How to sell the same thing to the same people over and over when what they already have is perfectly good. :confused:

A tentioner belt maybe? Had to have one replaced on my 172 when it was newish

Whatever you choose, paint it red!! Dont go for the just robbed a scrap yard look :sick: Evos bonnets are fantastic, they are body coloured but you can still see the carbon weave. :D

My exhaust was rattling pretty much from 7k miles (do a search for the 4k rattle, a very common problem) Aftermarket exhausts are cheaper than the standard and have a life time warranty, I put a Magnex on mine, have a look in the media and pics forum for lots of examples of exhausts. Ive...

I have a 2002 172 with 30k on the clock (Ive had it for 2 years) all the little nigggles were sorted out in the first year and since then its been 100%, Ive had no major problems and its always reliable. Check the exhaust as standard systems are cr*p and expensive, aftermarket exhausts are by...

I have driven both cars lots of times; the mark 1 is fantastic and original. If you want to go for a newer car, the mark 2 is also fantastic, but handles so much better when lowered slightly... so if you want a driver’s car and the newer of the two get a mark 2 and lower it...

What was the speed limit on the road? If you said you were doing 70 in a 60 zone then you dont have a chance.

Ive got my 36k coming up soon, better get saving :confused:

Hey, nice to know were not most women ;)

I hate it when people climb out of the back and stand on the sills on the way :@

Some people just dont care, a mate of mine sat in my car eating a pasty with bits falling every where, when she pulled out a flake I told her to "get out and walk or put it away and for that matter you are banned from eating anything in my car!" I got the silent treatment for a bit but who gives...

B 35

lol!!!!

If thats wrong, then I like wrong!!! Just gonna go for a drive in my lowered 172, tiz nice to be called a teenager tho at 35! :)

Try pushing another CD in, only part way, and it should eject it.

Ive had no problems with my Magnex, Im happy with it and its way better than the standard system....
