    3 years old and 74,000 miles of ritual abuse...shocking!!! 56k **** off

    Mine did the same kinda thing, obviously alot less dramatic as that, but you could actually pick away the peel where it was gathering up. I also don't find myself holding the wheel with white knuckles either but it was barely 3 years old before it had gone nasty...and it was owned by a 60 yr...

    Clio PS art competition

    I was gonna say!! The fact that it still has RHINO on the numberplate would surely give it away. Tut tut

    3 years old and 74,000 miles of ritual abuse...shocking!!! 56k **** off

    And to think i've just replaced my steering wheel cos it was starting to go a little rough on the edges.....that one has just been truly abused! Sign of a well driven but hard driven car no doubt!

    ooops...broke my 182...

    £4286.81....damn...thats a warning to us all! Goes to show how much a damage a mere kerb can do when hit with a bit of velocity. Was it on wet roads Kiev?

    Clio 182 to Audi TT Convertable

    Fair play. If you are looking at it financially and thats the way you want to go then i say go for what you fancy...it is for you and no one else after all. If you can get an S2000 for the same money you'd spend on the TT i'd go for that but again thats just me!

    Clio 182 to Audi TT Convertable

    Had a TT 3.2 Quattro in where i work recently. Cracking engine and was pretty pokey and had a nice noise when given a bootful but it drove like a boat. Too much scuttle shake and it reminded me of the older shape Saab 93 Convertibles...just felt it flexing too much. And then a guy i work with...

    Ebay Piss-take

    Haha! Check out the Q & A at the bottom... Q. Do you come with the car? A. Only when driving over cobbles. Genius

    Renault Batteries- How Much?

    Renault Batteries- How Much?

    Ahh hello there my good man.... Whats the price then? I've done the genius thing of leaving my phone at home today so if he has rung i've missed it!

    Renault Batteries- How Much?

    Well not having an extended warranty and having hooked the battery up to a tester and have it come up "REPLACE", i think im gonna go for the new battery! The trip only resets intermittedly and since i've realised that i haven't been doing many longer runs in it I figured the battery must be...

    Found out last night 172's don't handle....

    I had a moment like this late one night last week on a big wet roundabout near where i live....but i kinda provoked it so i knew what was coming. She did let go in a big way though and there was a moment when i thought i may end up having a meeting with the roundabout kerb but it all came good...

    Renault Batteries- How Much?

    Ahh ok. Thought 37 quid from Renault sounded too good to be true. Local parts shop it is then!

    Renault Batteries- How Much?

    Being 4 years old this month, and having developed a habit of resetting its trip computer every few days recently, i came to the fairly obvious conclusion that my Cups battery is prob giving up the ghost. Been quoted around about 50 notes for a new 4 year one but read somewhere that Renault...

    Trip Computer Keeps Resetting

    Just read it....very well put! Didn't take a lot of thought to narrow down that it was resetting due to lack of power..hence the fuel needle dropping. Thinking it thru more i also realised that after longer journeys it was ok for a few days and then after doing only short journeys the problem...

    Trip Computer Keeps Resetting

    Anyone had this one? Over the past few weeks and only intermittedly, when i come to start the car the trip computer (mpg, trip miles, average speed etc) resets itself back to zero. Now one other thing i have noticed is that on the occasions it has done this i have noticed the fuel needle...

    Decent ECU remaps/chips?

    Lovely stuff. Gives a good start for my research. Cheers Ed! Anymore anyone can recommend?

    Decent ECU remaps/chips?

    So who are the best companies to go with for a remap or chip and how much would it cost me roughly? Kinda looking for a reputable one. Anyone on here got any recommendations? Cheers

    how many cups are left?

    I'd say its more of a challenging car to drive fast in the wet hence why i tend to not bother driving it fast in the wet at all....just not worth the risk and inevitable regret and screwed insurance. Those who think they are invincible in their Cup's are just kidding themselves IMO. You maybe...

    how many cups are left?

    I think this whole subject of the winter being a "Cup killing season" is pretty much flawed. Yes there are less Cup's on the road now than there were when production ceased, thats just a given....all cars crash come rain or shine, and some of them were no doubt Cups. What im more interested in...

    Clio fast becoming the new Saxo?

    I only ever tend to see 1.2's and 1.4's round my way. Rarely see other 172's and 182's and other Cup's are as rare as rocking horse sheeet (probably cos they are being thrown into the scenery at a rate now that its got a bit wet!) so i feel rather exclusive in mine.

    Is the CTR the Clio's natural enemy?

    What TVR do you have? Mate of mine owned a Chimaera for about a year or so a few years back and he absolutely loved it. Had his fair share of probs but he wasn't bothered. Had to sell it as it was costing him a fortune running it as his everyday car....broke his heart to sell it mind you!

    Is the CTR the Clio's natural enemy?

    Can't believe me airing my sunday evening random thoughts would cause so much toy throwing from certain people! In conclusion, having read all the different views on this, i think its fair to say that i really should keep sctum when it comes to ANY views on the CTR! In fairness though its not...

    172 cup owners advice

    If you were giving it stick and rushing through the gears then yes its probably something you have done. You've probably just mistimed you clutch and gearchange action and let the clutch up a touch early....easilly done if the adrenaline is pumping and you have a shaky left foot!
