Yeah, they do look a bit girly. Its just modern design. All clios have a girly image, though. When you tell someone what you drive ( generally someone whos not into cars) the immediately think of Nicole!! It doesnt matter if you say "172" or "16v" or "Cup" after "Clio", they still think you...

Im sure it will all be worth it in the end mate. Besides your better off without a car over Christmas!! Get the beers in!!

You cant compare standard lights to Xenons. I was gobsmacked by how good they are. Far better than standard headlights. FACT!!!

Yup, my suspiscions are confirmed, this is an extract from King.strombas post titled " Just driven williams 0001!!" "Went to Williams factory this afternoon to see 0001 for my web site. Definately NOT written off. Very much alive. Has been kept stored with 19 km on the clock since it was...

I think King Stromba, who uses this forum, owns Williams 002!! Im sure he tracked down Williams 001(LHD) too, and its still intact in storage somewhere!!!

Interesting. How come it is so lumpy at tickover then? Is it purely down to the profile of the cams? Dont know if the two are connected, but my girlfriends 03 1.2 16v Dynamique is exactly the same.

Yeah, the wet weathers getting me down mate, hence <<<< driving miss daisy!! I live out in the sticks, and the roads around me are piss poor, so Im tip-toeing everywhere, but Ive still had the traction control light blinking at me a few times!!!

Grrrr @ Renault Still, its nothing major. All of the little niggles are forgotten when you give it some beans though, eh?!!!

See your point. Maybe an aftermarket exhaust would help, it wouldnt tick over any smoother, but it would have a much deeper rumble to it, thus sounding really sporty ala racing cams!! (ish)

Shocking really. Mine sounds like it might stall at any given moment once its warm. And sometimes it clunks when I select first gear aswell....

I cant find anything the manual?? It reads as though youve got automatic or intermittent. Theres no mention of intermittent for vehicles fitted with automatic wipers.

Thats what I thought, but doesnt the 172 have some kind of crude VVT? as in not variable.?? I though it was there to prevent a lumpy tickover???

Well its been two weeks since my172 was delivered, and I tought Id share with you some of my thoughts and impressions of the car so far..... LIKES (in no particular order) 1. Seats- Plush, comfy and good support. And leather. 2. Xenons - Fantastic visibility. Would not have another car...

Leave him to it I say. Im on the look out for a Cup spoiler for my 172, not because I want people to think my car is a Cup ( heaven forbid) but because I think it will make my car look better. Simple as that. _KDF, you need some silverfusion lamps dude!!!!

Tough luck chief..... Surely nobody sets off quickly in thier Cup....

Thanks guys, Ill look into it.

I was only going to upgrade my factory speakers, but after digging out an old EZ Rollers CD, I have realised that I still crave a bit of bass in my car. Can anybody recommend an ICE installer in the Midlands? I could do it myself but, put simply, I dont have the time or the inclination anymore...

Outside temp display on n/s mirror. Is that whats causing a whistling noise at motorway speeds on my 172? Grrrrr!!!
