Hi there, On 4 random occasions now, my 172 has refused to start. Turn the key and just a click and nothing, engine won't even turn over. Strange because the lights and wipers still worked absolutely fine Try a few times, maybe leave it a few mins, pump the throttle peddle (don't know if that...

That looks the absolute nuts mate, lovely car. +1 on the spoiler as well! Get it done.

Slight improvement overall then 😌

Obligatory snow pictures from this morning!

you've certainly got your money's worth out of Ford anyway. That's a great positive :smile:

My bad. Meant the 599 GTO. :up: My 5th favourite supercar and I can't even get the name right lmao

Nope, above the Clio would be a supercharged 106 S2 Rallye :wink:

I honestly adore these cars. Saw one at Goodwood a few years back, in the same paint style but in Red... a sort of carbon weave paint job. In the flesh it was absolutely stunning. My top 5 Supercars... 1. Lambo Murci SV 2. Zonda LH760 (Lewis Hamilton's to be precise) 3. Mclaren P1 4. Noble...

Haha, you get used to the rattling

I've got about 6 down my engine bay if you wanna take a look? Along with 4 13mm spanners, 1 hammer and a spare wheel Bloody nightmare fishing dropped parts outta there

Yeah I understand Mick, no prob :up::up:

No problem dude, thanks for the heads up

My original post says I've tried contacting them but they're too busy (even for a 10 minute super easy & simple job it seems, a little strange but whatever).

What a stunning, stunning Clio. Shame about the roof scoop though. I know they serve a purpose, and the CM one is pretty discreet, but I hate to think you've drilled a massive hole through the roof of an absolutely mint little car!

Belper, about 10 mins from Derby, don't mind a bit of travelling tho I'll pm him dude cheers.

I would, but I can imagine the bill running up quite high when they struggle to turn it off because they're not specialists... there's one around the corner from me so that's a last resort anyway.

Hi guys, Can around Derbyshire who can turn my airbag & service light off my 172 Cup? I've tried messing around with resistors and nothing seems to be working. The wires don't match up with any of the Cliosport guides. (I've got sparco buckets and sparco wheel). Also Diamond motors are booked...

directly underneath the bolt mate?

There was some loose sound-deadening flapping around under the car, so only jacked it up to reach under to pull it out, hadn't even bothered getting the axle stands out as I was gonna be under the car for 10 seconds, lucky the sill didn't give way whilst I was underneath the damn thing!

Halfway through jacking my 172 up I heard a massive thump and the whole thing nearly slid off the jack. Lowered it back down (thankfully still had the wheels on) and was greeted with this. Photo doesn't show it too well, but what's happened is the whole sill seems to have folded in...

Good plan dude, wouldn't bother with a rear strut brace tho. Most pointless thing you can buy for a Clio. Save the £££ for a Whiteline / pms rear anti-roll bar, heard nothing but good things about them. Need to get one myself next payday!

Looks nice mate. Some smart mods there as well. If the rear's stripped out, maybe get some buckets to finish the look off? Always thought stripping the rear out but keeping standard seats looks a bit daft.

Awesome work dude :up::up:

Sounds expensive... :smirk::smirk: Worth it if you truly value your car though! Would do the same if I had the £

Nice, how'd you score a place like that?? Also great driving at Goodwood mate, very smooth.

Yes mate, will drop ya a pm.

No prob. I'm in Belper mate. Think that's the first time I've heard anything remotely positive about Derby haha.

Awesome work mate, coming along nicely. Would absolutely love a heated garage, must make a world of difference. Would be good to see this once it's on the road, I'm in Derby area also.

I paid a similar price for mine and yours seems much better spec'd, kicking myself! Super clean car mate, keep this thread updated!

All the negative comments are kinda making me want to do it... :wink:
