Although people moan about the accuracy of the fuel computer its very accurate. After about 15k it was reading about 1/2% over the real MPG. You need to do more fillups and keep a note of them before having a go at its acccuracy. Its very accurate and you can prove this quite easyly put it in...

The 18k service is an small one prices range from the £99 I paid to £150 depending upon hwere you live etc. The 36k one involves only the changing of an airfilter as well I belive but its demed to be a big ger service so your looking at about £180~250 depending upon area. The 1.2 and dci have...

I do about 20k/yr although the car has only 23k on the clock after 17months as its always in the garage. I must have saved myself some money driving round in those courtesy cars.

Ok so Ive got a cd changer and installed it in its cage. However the cd changer cable has been cut and whereas it looks like 15 cable its infact way more and there shealded cable. Can anyone tell me if Im ok to solder the cables back up and ignore the shilded part or do you need this to...

Ive had this problem as well always wondered where all the water I can hear is hidden.

Will take something incredible to beat the noise yours makes Romer especially at high revs. I think Renault should have made TB an option after hearing your car. How bad is the fuel economy with all that power if you dont mind me asking?

There is a guide to changing the brakes for the 172 no idea where but even a French one should show you enough. There not to difficult to do. If anyone has any information they could send to me regards 172 tunning ie phone numbers for place please email me at...

No idea where you can get a 182 for £11.5k but Im sure someone posted a link to the website a while back.

Ive always though this would be a good idea. The amount of times Ive gone looking for an answer only to find that 20 minutes later that 1 That no discussion ever seems to end in an answer 2 That all cup owners think they dirve the best car in the world and its a million times faster than a...

Id say get rid of the MGF as well my mate at work has one and the only positive things he has to say are 1 it looks sporty and 2 in a few more months he is finishing the contract. Built quaility is abismal he said they changed the head gastget after about a week in less than an hour which is...

Id go for the 172 personally. Sess depreciation Any new car buyer knows what its like to loose a fortune after driving of the forcourt. But you can get 182 with cup suspension for £11.5K I belive. So the fact that a 182 will be a year more modern will increase its value by about 600 in 3yrs...

I didnt think there was much sl*gging of. Cup owners were bound to get annoyed at there being a cup option pack. Not sure about those rear exhaust or the 14k asking price but Id have one.

The Renault site is usless for infomation I once manged to get a dci clio with a 172 engine, sunroof, drum brakes, crusie control (before it was even out), and hydrolic stearing. Every Renault dealership I have spoken to say the site is usless only way to get a definate answer is to ring...

Just ring up Renault and ask for proff tghey should send you a letter saying the policy you had wit them was not claimed upon. Thants what I did with the AA no problems at all. Regards how many years NCB you have cliopower its two as you cannot built up NCB bonus but having two policy at the...

To much money and effort for little gain. You gcould get a GTT, 172 , or 1.6 to similar levels of power. Good for something unique but hp per £ very poor. The list of parts is long enough. Pistons, turbo, exhaust manifold, injectors, engine manigment would be difficult. Plus you have to strip...

Ive done a massive post on this a whil;e back basically you can ring up the finace company and get a settlment figure and then get the garage to arange the extra value of the car (after the finacne has been payed of) to be used towards a 172. Ill warn you now you may get very little. Since your...

You can turbo it but is it worth it? 3k I recon for a rebuilt engine with new pistons and turbo which should get you about 110hp but you might as well get an older GTT dropped in there for £1.5k sure its an older engine but has stood the time of being turboed plus the engine was designed from...

I recon they will fix it as replacing the car would be a problemas its a new for old policy isnt it and there no new CUps around. However its the damage you cannot see that is the worse and can write the car of. If the chassis etc is bent than they will write it of. Your probaly looking at...

That MG was a van which didnt go into production. Its was made to show of the van range. Was faster than a Cupra R if I remember. EDD

I cannot understand why you would want to sped so much on a 1.2 16V the gearbox isnt the strongest one made so 110hp through it may streach it a bit to far over the long term. 150hp would make the gearbox a complete wreck IMO. Plus if you looking at a non intercooled setup you looking at about...

First service costs can vary from £80 and £200 I heard depends on the dealership. Best just ring round and if they offer to replace brakes wipers etc as there worn tell them not to bother as you can do them yourself for much less than Renault will charge you. Regards the noise see the top...

I paid £99 at my dealership the 38k one is £200. Prices depend on where you are and the amountof work the dealship gets. Just ring round a few garages saying another garage has said a service there is £100 and would they price match . The dealership I used was Lewis Read on the Wirral. I may...

Nope but then agin Renault may try it to increase sales just before then new Clio comes out. You can get the cup suspension and spolier though so you can have the same power to weight, handling plus ABS and all the toys the cup owners wish they had. EDD

ABS may do nothing and infact be unproductive in the ice and snow but it seemed like a stupid thing to do ask for what is in my mind a car which is more dangerous. That should get a few cup owners annoyed EDD

I wouldnt do that the water may freeze on the car causing more problems than paint trouble. Paint on aircraft is thinner I think, also the engine intakes are supsetable to ingress damage so some little bits of stone will cause some massive damage plus increase operating costs. Im going to...
