Yes the silver one is the 172/182 one which fits the twingo GT

People will say all sorts from putting it on axel stands to take weight off the suspension etc but in reality, stick a trickle charger on it if possible to keep the battery topped up and that's all I would worry about, maybe stick fresh oil in it before and try and have as little fuel in it as...

If that story was remotely true then the car had an underlying health issue with the oil pump! Letting a car run for a few minutes once a week/month while it's off the road will do it absolutely no harm, in the same way leaving it for 2 years without turning the key will do it no harm.

Probably as rare or rarer than a trophy now due to cup killing season having its yearly clear out, my old one got wrote off last winter too apparently

THIS! There's no better benchmark for what somthing is worth than the sales history of similar cars

Welcome new boy! Best tip is show some pics of your girlfriend, best way to fit in!

One of those cars it's worth what someone is willing to pay for it. Somewhere in the region of 8-10k I'd say is reasonable although not sure I would part with that personally!

172, no squint exhaust to worry about 😂

Tracking 100%

That was my first thought, fractured spring, caught on the top mount jamming it, pull enough on wheel until the spring jumps. You wouldn't be able to overcome the steering lock I wouldn't have thought, that's is their design after all!

If both front tyres are matching and both front springs are matching even if the wrong ones then I'm going wheel alignment. It's the only thing that could cause it to pull it's self left other than possibly a sticking brake caliper

so its not that the steering wheel is off centre its that it is pulling left? miss matched front tyres seized/cracked suspension top mount bearing wrong spring fitted, was it a GT specific spring that was fitted to the car? they are different from normal mk3 clio items

Wouldn't have bought the black one anyway, non desirable spec, standard exhaust will be guaranteed to fall off soon and new mounts required etc

Thank god, now I've got 12 months to finish the Van 😂

Red immobiliser light staying on solid??

the tracking needs done, the original garage who have done the tracking have not centred the wheel properly when doing it. Find a local alignment place with a good reputation, My local place only does alignment and have a fantastic rep and charge £35 + vat so don't pay over the odds, especially...

Faulty sensor, replace the pass mirror and it will solve it (assuming the replacement sensor is ok!)

Only certain models had the exterior temperature display (the screens are the same so its physically there but not connected, most expression models did but I believe later on in the production they dropped it as a cost saving. ALL cars have the sensor in the mirror, but the wiring is not in...

never noticed that on any that I've seen. I dont worry about the dephaser unless its noisy, regular oil changes is key to looking after it.

Still available from dealers last I checked for one which was a few months back.

its actually not a bad job removing the dash, just time consuming lol dash top off dials out steering wheel off radio out trim that goes around the gearstick and houses the cup holders etc out disconnect connectors from hazard panel, cruise control panel etc etc disconnect connectors from...

I noticed the fridge engineers at work using one of these to blow out the condensers on the fridge packs, I'm not sure how powerful it is for a car but it looked reasonably powerful when I seen them using it! they had it hooked up to one of those big water bottles (maby 25litre?!) that has a...

I wouldn't bother with the black one as it doesn't have the cup packs, maybe they are at the age that isn't really a deal breaker but? The blue one you linked is pretty tidy, seats in good nick, steering wheel in good nick, carpets, dash etc all looks nice. mileage is a bonus, I think your cash...

fit is spot on, its as quiet as stock (from what I can remember of my genuine standard one) bends look ok on it so don't imagine its hurting performance, my motor pulls REALLY strong and my big cone filter makes enough noise to make up for a standard exhaust lol

be the best £144 you ever spent if we get a heat wave!

looks really tidy, when I saw Scotland I got excited there for a minute. There's one appeared parked on the main street in my village every night that looks night, im going to chap the boys door and see if its for sale lol thought this might be it

They are different sizes but if you email them they will be able to get you the correct ones

Should have it MOT next week at some point and get some road miles on it so will let you know!

Fitted new genuine 182 cup dampers all round today with grams springs. Also fitted new top mount kits and new spring top hats so it's all fresh!

If your 182 is in good nick I wouldn't be in a hurry to upgrade it to a trophy.
