I am never going to take my car to the monkeys in Renault West End mate, never ! Sounds like they did a decent job on your car tho which is good ! It is now booked in to Gravells in Kidwelly for Tuesday morning !

It is more or less the same engine tho mate, how can it feel dead below 5k ? I didnt think that at all to be honest, thought it pulled like a train IMHO. The one I drove only had 100 miles on it and that felt quick then.

I am on the phone to the dealer now to get it booked back in AGAIN ! Need it done by Wednesday as I am travelling up to yours then Mike. Gonna take half day and sit there and wait until it is done to make sure they fix it this time !

Just before I phone the dealer again, has anybody else got any ideas as to what else this could be ? Any help would be very much appreciated ! I cant help but feel as tho an aftermarket exhaust would have fixed all these problems and made life a lot easier ! :cry:

Check all your bulbs are in their sockets properly.

I second that !

I said close to that price, you can get them for around £600-£650. 17s are £750 if you look hard enough.

As long as you are happy. Be interesting to see what they look like on a flame red 172. Your car will definitely be unique anyway !

xTreme is selling his even though he hasnt even got the car yet, http://forum.cliosport.net/display_topic_threads.asp?ForumID=3&TopicID=78502&PagePosition=1http://forum.cliosport.net/display_topic_threads.asp?ForumID=3&TopicID=78502&PagePosition=1 It is £300 WITHOUT tyres tho so it works out...

You bought them ?! :confused: £500 seems steep as you can get some Super Ls for close to that price. As long as you like them but if I had a 182 Cup then the wheels would be gone before I even bought the car !

Right now I am very pi$$ed off ! I thought that was the end of my visits to Renault for the time being and now I have to go back. I am going to take a half day off work and wait down there till they get it sorted ! ARGH ! :@

I had the baffles and centre section of the exhaust replaced today and now it sounds like something is vibrating against the gear stick shaft in 2nd gear over 4k rpm ! I should have just put up with the 4k rattle ! It will have to go back in I think as something must be rubbing against the...

Floodie, that sounds like what I am after mate, how much is that costing ? welsh, do you think that is what it could be ? It only happens in 2nd too.

Just been out in the car to try and locate the problem. It only happens when in 2nd gear above 4000rpm. It is vibrating against something, any ideas on what it could be ? Anyone ?

Nobody else had this problem then ? I must have found a new problem with 172s ? Anybody ? Please ? Pretty please ? Cherries on top ?

Good to see this has been sorted ! A week ? What you having done mate ?

RIGHT............ Just picked up my car ! Good news..... the 4k rattle has gone ! Woohoo ! ....Now for the bad news ! Whenever I put the power down now and lift off, I get a vibration coming from the gear stick, especially when in 2nd gear and if I push the gear stick to the left or if I...

Most Premiership players under 23 drive around in Aston Martins, Ferraris, etc. so I am sure there are people in the UK who pay stupid insurance prices like that.

I filled up on Optimax for the first time this week, cant really say it feels any different but maybe you have to use it for a certain length of time before feeling any difference ?

If you are worrying about insurance costs then I would say you cant afford a Scooby as the running costs alone are HOUGE !

You girl racer you Viv ! LOL ! ;) I have seen the K-Tec but it is LOUD ! Too loud for what I want ! I will be checking out all the cars at the Curborough trackday on Thursday for inspiration !

I have the money to get an exhaust now but I am having trouble finding a quiet, hidden exhaust that is still going to give me power gains. My problem is that I do not want a visible, LOUD exhaust unless I cut away part of my bumper. I am not sure if the exhaust I want even exists ! :confused:

Just dropped my car off at my local Renault dealer to sort out the 4k rattle on the exhaust. It has been driving me mad and they ordered in the part for me to be fitted today. If this is not fixed then I will leave it and buy an exhaust to cure the problem ! It is all being done under...

Gravells in South Wales have 3 pre-reg Cups on 53 plates for £10,995.

I wait until the temp gauge needle is up to halfway before taking it over 4k.

As for a Cliosport 1/4 meet, I have posted a thread in the Meetings forum about the 1/4 miling season, I think Nick Read is sorting it out when his Turbod Valver is on the road.

Good stuff mate, will see you there ! Going to be good. I think Fred2001Dynamic has a Quick Shift in his car.

Hmmmmmm, this could well be added to my list of mods. Chris, you are off to Curborough too ? Have you got the Quick Shift ?

Would you say that this would make any difference on a 1/4 mile run for instance ? What is it like for everyday driving around town and the like ? I have been looking at one of these for a while now, I will get to see it in action when I go to Curborough next week no doubt.

Any links for people who cannot find it using the search ?
