I've got a 2003 plate 172 and my drivers side seat was looking a bit rough after 44k miles. The other seats were like new. I had a Sweater De-fuzzer (Like the old Remington Fuzz-away?) bought for me as a birthday present to try and tackle this. It's battery operated and costs about £10. Try...

I've read some posts from the lads on here knocking the Denso plugs [and Bosch]:S What's your personal experience of them Kully?

Which plugs did you go for? Mines done 51k miles now and i reckon its time to change them. They've never been done!

Lucky lad! £ 82 per side from my local Renault garage.

Anyone got a pic of the part in question and where it fits.:S Sorry to sound thick - only time I open the bonnet is to fill up the wash/wipe fluid!!!:eek:

How much to change the dog-bone mount then? Or how long to do....and is it difficult?

I always get 40mpg+.......long journeys to work 50-60mph constant and car is always at optimum temp. Cant wait til this tank of gash has gone.:dapprove:

Always run my 172 on super unleaded. Optimax/V-power.:cool: Shell garage is about 13miles away from me, but i do take the time out to have a blast and fill up with v-power.:race: Last week I thought I'd try the 95ron Shell to see if there really is any difference. (My car has been re-mapped...

Claying doesnt take that long Dave. It makes the polishing stage much easier and much faster IMO. And you'll end up with the paintwork feeling like glass. Seems a shame to do all the polishing sealing and waxing if you've not done the best preparation you can do. I picked up a Megs clay bar...

07:45 - 02 Monaco Blue 172 [same as mine:)] Joining A1 Northbound at Newark from Beacon Hill Road. 17:45 - Silver 172 at Winthorpe Roundabout, Newark, junction of A17,A46,A1. I flashed and beep-beeped, but to no avail.......:dapprove:

My premium with NU was £400 last year and £530 at renewal!!!! WTF? Like you Neil, I asked why and they said "premiums have gone up everywhere". I ended up being able to insure my car and the missus' Micra with Admiral for £20 less than NU's renewal for mine alone!!

NU Direct are c*nts anyway Neil. I've never had any accidents and my renewal in November was £530. Billion years no claims, protected etc etc. They're c0cks. So I went to admiral. James

Thanks. I'll get hold of some.

Cheers Rich. I've almost run out of the Autoglym so might try something new. Any of the other brush on ones you might recommend? James

Forget the induction kit, theyre w*nk in the warmer weather. [...awaits hail of abuse];) Go for the ITG replacement panel filter. £50. Or the ITG Maxogen Induction Kit[v.expensive]. Ali has one on here he swears by it. James

Sorry to hi-jack your thread Ali, but whats the best product to use on the tyres? I like mine to be nice and wet, oo-er!!!;) Nice and wet looking that is.:eek: I use AG Instant Tyre Dressing at mo, which is great, but a bit of a fecker when you've just washed the car and end up going round it...

Just to keep those of you who are interested posted. Called Admiral on Friday, gave them absolute hell, they'd promised to call me back everytime I've phoned them for the past 4 weeks.:mad: It was getting beyond a joke for me, so they got both barrels. Of course I was polite at all times, and...

Quality Finchy. All round top job. Alloys look great. What type of exhaust is it. Looks tidy, I went for a stealth when mine dropped off. However that looks the mutts nuts cut into the bumper. James ps, nice number plate;)

Middo You get it fitted at Silver Systems?? If so how much/ how long did it take? James

The extra weight in the FF helps it put the power down better.:rasp:

Cracking car, lovely radiator to keep it warm at night too.:approve: Pics have given me a right hard on....:quiet: :o

Bloo_joo, Mine ended up £357+VAT. http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?t=204518 Magic.;)

£52?:dead: Whoah! Think I'll leave mine standard......agree though dude, it does brighten up the engine bay.:D

What's the advantage with the Hillpower bend Rich? I've got an ITG panel filter on the 172, but not modded the bend or the cold air feed.....yet.;)

That'll T-Cut out. Cant believe it - 34th post and no-ones said it yet? Sorry Ben just bein a tw4t. Gutted for you mate, from experience bonnet alone, genuine Renault sprayed and fitted is circa £400 inc VAT. 3 wheels = £300. 3 tyres = £ 210. Thats over 900 quid without going...

Thanks everyone.:D The car is used everyday too. Not just locked up in a garage and looked at every now and again. Just clocked over 51,000 miles:eek: Spared no expense, full Renault History from new. Just need to apply some leather cream inside [to keep it looking good] and it will be the...

Welcome to the forum Matt:D Flame Red, I believe.:cool: James

Looking good without doing anything John!!! Yellow calipers :cool: Keep 2.0 16V badges silver and grille badge. Black side repeaters? :cool::cool: Got any videos/sound of your Milltek exhaust? Would love to hear that if its anything like Craig182's. James

Thanks:D I'm pleased you said the latter!!!;) Hose off loose dirt, AG shampoo [two bucket method] with SERIOUS_PERFORMANCE lambswool washmitt, rinse, silicon blade on roof/bonnet to remove rinse water [carefully], then Aquatouch drying towel all over. Has previously been AG Super resin...

Finally got round to posting some pics of my car.:cool: Just had a new bonnet fitted after a [empty] pallet landed on it at work.:dapprove: Just a standard clean today, clay, polish, seal and wax to come in a few weeks.;) Happy with the colour match. I was a little worried to say the least...
