the 1.2 16v seems to have been revised though we have just bought a brand new twingo 1.2 16v and over the last 1500 miles its averaged 58.5mpg!!! £30 roadtax now too! s**t slow compaired to a dci80 though. im on the look out for a 5 door dci80/100 initale

ive got a pretty decent drive to work which is why I picked a 172 as its at its best on they sort of roads, if I was doing boring miles however id want a cumfy diesel

mine failed so I stuck a single tone one from a dynamique on it, sounds much the same tomorrow not as gay as the twingo ones lol

good cheap runabout, I do about 12-15k in mine a year and its fine, although I stuck a standard exhaust, fresh wheelbearings, new engine mounts, clutch cable and standard airbox/filter to make it a nice daily!

lock active shows its locked

get him to send you a screenshot that shows if its locked or not, ill fire mine up the now and get a screenshot of what your looking for

very vague! you got a video so we can tell you if its normal or not? if the long fabric type hose going from the airbox to the front of the battery is torn it will be a bit louder than it should

like them in 5 door, any plans for the usual power upgrades on these?

no point touching anything without mapping it, the rest just makes it drive worse, dump valves, induction kits etc remap absolutely transforms them! engines on them are bullet proof, will run 140-150bhp all day long with a set of 172 injectors as the injectors are the weak point

you got another Monaco all these years later? I fixed the drone on mine, 4 new wheel bearings, standard exhaust and standard filter, lovely jubbley!!!

ive got rs stamped ones and cant decide if I should get them matched or not as obviously the gains are going to be less

In my opinion, Yes. Depends what you consider worth it, I know people that a £300 remap on a turbo car wouldn't be "worth it" I know people that a 1bhp gain would be worth it. my standard ones wernt too bad, fitted a set of AWT ones and the car got a nice gain.

lol @ pistons smashing the plugs due to dodgey timing!! who diagnosed that!

Good pictures! Granted I didn't really go to school much but Snow?? I thought Australia was hot as f**k?!

clio 200 edc tries to corner at 172 cup speeds and the wheels start falling off?

common to happen, as far as im aware there is no uprated replacement, but all Clios use the same mount so easy to get a hold of

get a time machine, go back to 2003 and start looking, that's the easiest way to find one!

wondered how long before stickers would appear

lol lusty!!!

vans hold good money I bet you could make a load of cash building these lol!!! cheap roadtax too compaired to the actual vans!

5yrs or 72k what ever comes first

best, handles like new. Worst, 11yrs of dings/marks

I remember him being a bit of a legend on here when I first came, imagine someone done that to a 182 now?

as above just cleverly worded, drilled and grooveddiscs are garbage they crack and make noise under hard braking, speak to G 172 about brembo hc discs and mintex pads

yeah thats the problem, the dustcover and bump stops all come as one part, wests renault in the traders section can get a hold of them they are about 25 quid for the pair

mine was hitting the arch liners during 5mph mini roundabouts and bumper brackets during anything more than slow driving, fitted the bump stops that were missing and it cured it straight away. if running eibach springs its impossible for it to hit the bumper brackets if bump stops are there...

conti contacts squeal like mad, our driving school cars use them lol

I got brembo HC and mintex fast road pads, braided lines and new fluid from G 172, was under £200 and would put my old clio 200 brembos to shame, they are epic!

and are bump stops fitted?
