Hi, welcome to Cliosport. :D

Im glad I joined. The only down sides have been a depleting bank account and excesive mileage on the car. The up sides have been some great people, great days out, massive drinking sessions and an all round laugh a minute.:D Plus this forum gives me something to do while Im at work.

Ive not bothered either. Plus it says on the card it covers those things so Ill just kick up a stink if I get any problems. Ive still got RAC cover which runs until March of next year also. LOL Besides, Ive only had 2 punctures in 10 years! (kiss of death)

I kept my 172, put a further 3k on the clock and still got the price we had agreed. Not the best price in the world, but at least I had a car to get around in still.

I dont see how they could make a GPS based one illegal anyway. Mine is a great safety aid. In Scotland it told me where all the accident black spots were so I was extra vigilant.

I also got an alarm fittment certificate. My mats were still wrapped up in the boot, but the sales guy did at least point that out to me!!

According to the members area you need to speak to John Harris.

JillyB is the West Midlands Rep. Ive never heard them say that before. I purchased an exhaust from them last year and wasnt told that.

Bit unfair of me that;), I neglected to say they are fast, fun to drive and cheap to buy. :D

Its basically a shed with wheels. ;) Old shape 1.8 16 valve Clio. See here: http://www.cliosport.net/gallery/?gallery=clio16vhttp://www.cliosport.net/gallery/?gallery=clio16v LOL, beaten to it by Daz.

Import prices are alot closer to dealer prices these days. When I purchased my 172 back at the beginning of 2003 there was a massive saving to be made, and I certainly didnt loose out come trade in time.

ESP and traction depend on the age, not where it came from. It should have an immobilisor just no alarm! I have special Powers. ;) [Edited by Lee M on 30 June 2004 at 2:14pm]

I had that page for another reason Craig. So far so good thanks. Yours? :D

I paid around £2k less for an import 172 last year and just traded it in and only lost £1k more at trade in that had it been a full UK car. Result. I never had any issuse with the warranty either. Basically its just the alarm, window etching, AA cover and locking wheel nuts. And you...

From the 182 manual: http://www.leemather.plus.com/stuff/tyres.jpg

I got half way through taking the top off mine to get the autochanger cable out, but decided against it in the end. I was worried Id end up damaging it before the trade in. LOL

Ill give the sales guy a call, see if he can sort me one out.

Just as well my 182 isnt. :D Cheers Jon, Ill try and remember to check that out later.

Never had any problems running as the manual states.

So how do I get one?

On my drive to work Ive seen Craig in his yellow one, a couple of silver and one Arctic Blue. Common or not, I picked the colour I liked. I dont see the point in buying a colour you dont like as much just because its rare!

How does one go about getting this magazine? ;)

Ive got an Arctic Blue one. Its the colour I liked most on it. My 172 was Monaco Blue so I seem to have a thing for blue cars. I still would have liked a red on the 182 though.

Everyone from Cov knows the Hollyyhead. The 172 didnt have the cooled glovebox. I too have the small blue thing located by the rear view mirror you are refering to and Im pretty sure it wasnt on the 172. It almost looks like a small LED, but I dont think it is.

Another relative local then. I work in Birmingham and the other Lee is soon to be working there also. We had the last Mids meet at the Hollyhead in Cov. Next Mids meet is Cannock, where I live.

Youve got the Blues wrong mate. Artic blue is the pearlescent blue which looks similar to Mondial blue in some lights. Racing Blue is the one thats been used by mags and was shown at the motorshow. Its a solid, none metalic finish and looks nothing like Mondial Blue as used on the Cup. I...

Another Lee. LOL I dont remember seeing one in mine, but then Ive not really paid that much attention to that area, but as far as I can tell its the same as my 172 was inside except for the silver seat belts and silver bits on the seats. Ill have a look in the morning. Lee

You mean these dont you: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=10410&item=2466709274&tc=photoLink

Quickest to the scrap yard yeah. ;) Ragged isnt so bad, ragged from cold as most demos are is very bad.

Geoff had a 172 previously so Id guess that. Mine feels tight as a nuns chuff at low revs compared to the 172 but mid range its pulling very strongly. Not long before I can see how it does at high revs. The most its seen so far has been around 5k to overtake a couple of people.
