Ive only just got round to washing the car. Ive not even managed to get the old sticker off. The stickers were quite expensive something like 4 euros for a sticker if I remember.

I use the same garage. However I only use them because there cheap there completly useless for everything else from my experiance. Id never use them for anything beyond services. Id list the points them and there bodyshop have failed on and lied but wed be here for a while. The parking a...

So much potential there IMO. That red looks amazing though.

ARe you on about the 172/182 bit of extra throttle where it clicks as such? If so then you dont get any more power the clicy bit is to disengage the crusie etc nothing to do with power.

You can only use your NCB once oon one policy. Some companies will give you a discount for having a second car with them but its not usually the full amount and there other clauses like you have to have had year of NCB anyway. Ive had to get two different polices one using all my NCB the...

Might be worth getting a hair dryer to get the glue a bit weeker.

16k sound about right to ask for a 172 turbo if you want one. There 172 is a Mk1 worth say £5k. There turbo kit is £6k. Then there car probably has suspension and different alloys so thats £1.5k probably. Thats a total of £13k or so, theyre asking £16k so will take £14.5~15k possibly (you...

Was the price of the Megan much different than a 182? As for handling I wasnt that impressed the ones Ive driven (stock demo cars) roll to much and have less potential than my dci had and feeback is so differnet (not in a possitive way). Coilovers are essential.

How about going for an auto box from a megan or laguna? There a few auto boxes they use which mate upto the f4r engine in those cars (the 172/182 engines are f4r derivatives so they should mate up).

Yoz has his taken out not sure what his company said. Just ring your insurer up though some will be OK some will refuser. Not having an airbags no big issue realy.

There are a few options. 1) Remap the stock ECU. The company bb use fastchips (www.fastchip.nl I think) worked out how to do this. 2) Aftermrket completel new ECu you could specify a higher quality mapping and other bits like water injection and anti lag if you want plus more tunners know how...

They dont need and wont go for a turbo for the next one. Renault always have so much potential in there cars if only they could sort out a few things theyd lead the say in terms of sales. Then agin why should they bother there doing Ok of the poorly built new cars anyway.

The price for kits depends normal springs and dampers (the minimum I would recomend) is about £300 then fitment which is between £40 and £90. Perosonally Id go and get coilovers there excellent Im selling mine incase your interested...

The 172 engine will fit j3ned sells the engine gearbox suspension and brakes all the bits you need for £1.5k+ vat As for bigger engines well the V6 3.0 is a bit big but if your feeling adventurous. The VAG 1.8T (take to j3ned) or Megan/Velsatis/Laguna 2.0 turbo is another option. There was a...

Nope once an airbag has been activated you need a new airbag computer which are £300~£50 depending on differetn things. Plus then you need Renault to rest the computers etc.

You can have the keys just removed from the imobiliser ie so they wont start the car you dont need a new ECU.

Just over 110k on a M reg Williams Just over 42,500 on a 2002 dci

You need to swop two of the wires round. Its the red and yellow I think.

The 182 head unit is the same as all normal Clio head units the speakers are 44 instead of 25 whats or whatver and made by Casabania which is the reason for the label on the front of it. Its a decient enough stereo IMO.

Sounds like Gary Brown.
