Ditto DirectLine. Spent various "spare minutes" at work getting Internet quotes from all sorts of companies. DirectLine (or Privilege since theyre the same) gave me lowest quote. Renaults on-line system uses the DirectLine back-end (same web-pages etc.) but was £40 more than DirectLine. 172...

Whereas mine lies to me to make me feel better! Reads about 32mpg, but then again last time I checked it, it said Id used 8.5G despite me putting 9.3G in at the pump! Honestly tho dont care ... Im a man of few vices but driving fast is one of them ... so even if Im only getting <25mpg Im...

But also seems like its common fault on 172 ie. doesnt necessarily work. Doesnt work on my Mk1 ... didnt work on the Cup I drove the other week (tho perhaps the Cups have them stripped out for weight ~:^). I just try to change at 6.6krpm - the point at which the power curve tanks. Must admit...

Clearly Micheldever selling plenty of F1s for Clios this week ... had some put on the front of mine on Wed. Took no bedding in tho ... were better from the go than the goddam Michelins it came with (never been a fan of them ... last forever cause they dont freakin grip). F1s grip so much better...

Scott you wont have to look far to find a CTR. Find it funny how many CTRs I see - common as muck! Counted 4 in 30 minutes on Saturday whilst pointing out how common they were to my missus. All they CTR drivers have to look the other way when the see yet another CTR. Same with TTs round here. On...

F1 GSD-2 or the other "non-vee tread pattern" F1s? Bit of research I did prior to buying was that F1s got consistently high ratings. Either way, Im enjoying my F1s (well 20 miles so far) and youre happy with your Bridgestones so the world is cool :cool: Also what do I know!? On my Xsara VTS...

Just this morning had some Goodyear Eagle F1 GSD-3 195/50/15 put on the front of my 172 Mk1. Not only do they look the dogs (shoulders are near slick), also came out top in EVO test against selection of performance tyres including Toyo Proxes. Not that I want it to rain, but apparent wet...

BenJ - Im in Hedge End. Seems theres a few of us around but not too many!! Always laugh when I see all the TT and Type R drivers trying not to notice each other and have to admit their cars are common :) Fast Clio fans always get respect from me on the rare occasions I see them! Ive thought...

Reason Im so p*ssed is cause its down to the black plastic - basically skimmed the paint off so nothing left to tcut :( Damage is pretty limited (size wise) - any idea how much bumper spray likely to cost? Thinking about having side strips colour coded at same time (since they stand out as...

So Im really, really p*ssed off :( Scraped the front bumper on my 172 last night when I was putting it to bed for the night. Must of have my frigging eyes closed since my garage isnt that tight. At least I didnt damage any metal work. Damage is couple of 3 cm long scrapes down to plastic...

So Ill admit Im always paranoid about the clutch/gearbox on cars Ive owned. And once you start concentrating on a possible problem ... So when I first got my Clio 172 thought gearbox was dead smooth compared with my previous Citroen Xsara VTS. However, now I reckon the clutch on the Clio is...
