I work for Ford, the only bit of warranty affected will obviously be the radio bit! If you do bodge it (dont see how you could) and it breaks, just put old headunit back in before you take it in lol
The other day i left my lights, heater and radio on while ignition was off, and had a chat with my mate - you can guess whats coming!
I got it bump started, but since then ive had a problem with my Sigma alarm
Its simple, when i lock it, it turns the alarm off, when i unlock it, it arms!
A...
Now ive got some, im just wondering where everyones got them?! Does everyone have them on their skirts at the back?
Can someone post some pics so i know where to put them please!
Ta!
I rang Renault the other day to see what to put in my 172, they told me they put 10w40 in everything, and thats what we use at Ford so i put that in! Shouldnt i have done? It was free, but i also had some 5w40 but they said that was too thin!
I just got a quote on a Mk2, with immobiliser and tracker and it was £1415, not bad seeing as im a mechanic which is classed as high risk, and my mums a deputy head which is also high risk
Exactly, im sure you could have one at 17 if you just got your work to transfer all your wage to your insurers bank account!
You can have anything, as long as you can afford it!
Mine sits at about 28mpg when driven softly, drive it hard and it raises, most ive had in 1500 miles since i got it is 34mpg on the motorway
Whoever said they get better with age, mines should be doing 100mpg, its on 96000 now, mk2 172
Ive posted on CT, ive got the box out of my VTR at work, it fits a 1.4 Furio, which is the same engine as in the 1.4 206, so i think it'll probably fit!
It wouldnt get reverse which is why i swopped it, but ive fixed that now, excellent workmanship at Perrys in Hudds was the cause :(
Ive just bought one on 95k!
Drives like a dream, no knocks or bangs, it even impressed lads at work with how clean it is!
Full Renault history inc all belts, 10 months tax, but no test because of cracked screen. I took a chance, and paid £3250 for it. Got the screen replaced for £50 excess...
Mines done 95k and struggles to get over 30mpg without me going in the fun zone!
Give abit maybe 1% of the time, the other 99% driving steady, and it shows about 29mpg!
On the motorway yesterday i got 31mpg though, WOW!!
Ive just bought a mk2 172 on 95k, paid alot less than ive seen any mk1's go for!
Full Renault history etc, did something like 72k in its 1st 2 yrs or so, up and down the motorway
Went to look at a mk1 before this, 56k on it, it was fucked. No history, rough interior and they wanted £500 more...
Ive jsut had my screen replaced, would have cost me £312, but cost me £50 excess :)
Mine doesnt wipe when reverse is selected?
In fact, thats probs cos i dont have any reverse lights! New switch is needed i think.
Noones answered why the stalk has the speed setting thing on it, when its...
Yes you are right!
You've failed on a broken spring, and it is normal practice to replace both, but if your lowering it then its these springs which you replace!
Get just one spring from someone, and fit it until you can afford the lowering springs. It'll get you throught your MOT at least
Being new to the whole Clio game, ive come to realise i will try and specify xenon lights with every one of my cars now
Coming from a Saxo, and having the smoked headlights that are available for mk2's, and not being able to see bugger all, the xenons are worth their weight in gold!
My Mk2 172's wipers have a mind of their own!
Its supposed to have auto wipers yeah, but when i get in it after its been raining, or is raining, and the stalk is on the 1st notch, nothing happens, its asif i have to wake it up!
They also dont sweep often enough when its raining, and they'll...
Look on ebay
Theres a place that sell all the blue LED bulbs you need for £14.99 i think it is, or they'll fit them for £69

My VTR and my mums 1.1 did this, now my 172 does it!
Gonna throw some plugs and leads on it next weekish because its got a tracking plug, see if it makes any difference to idle
