Over the last week i've noticed some stuttering under acceleration. It's hard to describe - feels like the power is cut for fractions of a second and then comes back and also a bit like 'kangarooing'.
Seems to be mainly from cold and is intermittent.
Car was serviced in Feb, with a new cat...
Spotted a silver 172 parked very far away from all the other cars :cool:
It was about about 10.15pm. Had silver rimmed dark aftermarket wheels (looked like rotas). Yoz sticker on the rear driverside window, also exhaust cut out the bumper.
Looked alright.
I've got a second hand speedo which i trial fitted today. Everything seems to work fine, but apparently the mileage is stored on the actual units, so fitting it would 'add' an extra 24k to my car.
Anyone know if Renault or anyone else would reprogram it to my correct mileage for me? and rough...
Right i've gone through all the physical fitting without any problems but when it came to the fuse part i've come a little unstuck.
Following Davebem's guide, it says that all clios have the wiring ready and simply plug the 5amp fuse in. From the looks of it, i'm missing the wiring!
Can...
My cat is fluxed :dapprove:
The garage i took it to to get checked want £201 to supply and fit a new one. I guess it's a steel one for that price. They say they "can't" fit one that i supply.
Seems a little steep to me, as i was looking at ceramic ones. Going to get some other quotes later in...
Guys, what is the etiquette when it starts to rain whist you're detailing your car?
Do you guys leave it till the next day or dry it off by hand etc?
It always seems to come when i'm either polishing or sealing & waxing. If it just spits for a bit, I usually end up drying as best i can with a...
Ph1 172 pearl black on the A60 near the Rushley pub about 1.35pm
About half a minute later there was a mondial 172 cup following it.
Also, on Valley road Notts, heading towards Mansfield road, 11.35am, a RB 182 (didn't looked cupped. only got a glance though)
Tonight i returned to my car to see this. Some clown in a corsa, decided they liked my car so much they'd try to trade paint with me :rolleyes:
I swear his wing mirror was touching my rear quarter window before i folded it in for him.
Thinking of buying some clay from this thread:

I doubt i'd use it very often, so i wanna know how long the bars would be good for.
Also i know to cut it up, but how much do you guys go through for 1 claying sesh? a whole bar...
I dunno if this has come up before. Did a quick search and nothing came up :rasp:
Seems there's a turbocharged 320bhp exclusive knocking about

About 3.10pm. Spotted coming the other direction, rubbernecking at the car that had overturned. Driver looked a bit like Matt Bishop (the f1 journo)
I always seem to see at least one clio sport about when i go past/through Blidworth.
Spotted at the 2 mini round abouts about 9:45pm. Only got a glimse of it as i was coming the other way. Whilst i double-taked, i forgot to indicate :quiet:
Can someone tell me; if i want to swap the clocks in my car, do the new ones have to be the same scale (i.e. go to the same mph as the existing ones).
Looking at some new ones but they go to 160 whereas my current ones go to 140.
Cheers

Edit: sorry for posting this in the exterior forum...
I'm looking at getting some new headlights and have been looking on the powerbulbs website.
They seem to be doing a very good offer of buy one get one free on their own brand of bulbs. My question is: has anyone tried their brand of bulbs before and how do they compare to the big brands...
H**3 RMV. From Nottingham heading north. Arctic i think. CS sticker on the rear window. Thought you were gonna get in front of all three of them at the roundabout near red hill.
After fitting a set of dynamique alloys today, there is a grinding/rattle type of noise coming from the nearside rear. It either only happens when turning right or just becomes a lot more noticable when turning right.
I've tried resitting the offending wheel, greasing the wheel and hub area, but...
