This ok to use on the plastic cover then Rich? You know, the bit that Cups dont have? Around the Renaultsport and 2.0l 16V badging. If so I'll buy some for the weekend.

With a bit of trepidation, I bought a Meguiars Quik Clay pack from Halfrauds. Missus's red micra was in need of a bit of love. Its cleaned weekly with the Autoglym gear i've got, but i though it needed it a bit of shine re-injecting into it. The bodywork felt reasonable but seeing as i was...

Evening all.:D Quick Q. What can I use on my 172 engine cover to clean it up a bit. Theres some yellowy staining on it round the oil filler cap/cover. Haven't really got any de-greaser at mo. Any recommendations? Cheers, James

Mk II 172 2003 model. My manual says 33front, 30rear at normal everyday driving. High speed on motorway is 39front, 36rear!!! James

From experience most renault garages put in 10w40 semi synthetic at services. Unless you ask otherwise...Having a 182hp hot hatch, you would really expect a fully synthetic oil such as Shell Helix Ultra as you say. I think they put in Elf Excellium if you request, and there's only about a...

Got to be same type fitting, ie Canon EF, Minolta A or whatever. HOWEVER....Digital Lenses magnify the power of standard 35mm lenses by about 1.5x ie, your 50-200mm lens say, becomes 100-300mm. Basically you only get the middle part of the image. Best off getting new digital specific lenses imo.

At least youve got some decent stuff in there. Running mine on shell helix ultra at moment and got mine from the local garage. Paid £45 for 6 litres. Presume yr changing the filter?

Silkolene Pro S 5W40 FULLY SYNTHETIC. Or Shell Helix Ultra. Just make sure its 5W40 and Fully Synthetic for best performance.

Go for yellow.:D Like the megane f1..... I've seen someone on CS who's got an racing blue 182 with the yellow badges and it looks cool......sub-zero.... Cant remember whos it is.

Try and be lucky and whatever you pick cross your fingers and hope its a good one! I have a 172 mk2 2003 model, leather,climate etc. And its great. One of the most reliable cars I've had, build quality is good, finish good. Really happy and had it a year. Spin round twice and you'll hear...

Had my cat back fitted a week ago at Top Gear Doncaster. [Powerflow] Quality seems ok - had replica of standard system but in stainless. Wanted it quiet as poss, but its a bit boomy at low speed/low revs. Bit disappointed in that respect but loves to be revved. £230 fitted, so cheaper than...

Quite right Dave. Burst capability on my Fuji is poor, about 1.4 frames per second. And it only records the last or first four of the sequence. Not that i use that function much.

Jay Have you considered a bridge/prosumer camera? Had Minolta SLRs for years and just flogged them and bought a Fuji S9500. 9.5Megapixels, 28-300mm built in zoom lens, 58mm thread for filters, non-rotating lens. £300. Results are superb. No lens swapping, no probs with dust etc. Whip...

Try CEF City Electrical Factors, they're all over the country. Currently selling for about £37 + VAT.

Hold down CTRL key and use scroll wheel back/forward on mouse to enlarge/ reduce text in Firefox etc.:cool:

Mine was out of warranty in May, cue the amazing dropping off exhaust last week.:mad: Been driving round in works LDV pickup. Clogging b*llocks off it you get 69mph down hill with the wind behind you!!! Looking forward to the drive tomorrow. Limiter all the way.............

Nice one Alan,:eek: Nah, just the route to work is limited to 50mph and crawling with cops/cameras. Hence, you can't fail to get good mpg!!! unless i sit in second.... Gonna whack the ass off it tomorrow as my stainless cat back + sports cat is fitted:cool:

Just done Scottish Border back to Notts and a week of driving to/from work. £45 of fuel to full @ 95.9p/litre [Shell V-Power 99 RON] 46.9 litres [10.28 gallons] 460.5 miles 44.8 mpg Yeah I know.....crazy. Lovely fresh Shell Ultra 5W-40 Synthetic Oil, Renault oil filter and a new ITG PANEL...

1172..... Well noisy on idle/ low revs. been driving with the windows down, its a laugh, but 50 miles a day to work is not good. Tempted by the Blueflame in Lancs, long drive but whatever eh? Don't want a sh*t exhaust, so am prepared to travel about. Just wanted some recommendations if...

c'mon guys, help us out a little here? I've used the SEARCH button, just can't find what I need. POWERFLOW has been recommended to me.....mate lives in doncaster, there is a TOPGEAR fitting centre there. Are powerflow any good?

bump

Anyone?......

Got in the car this morning to be greeted by a big deep farting exhaust. Great. Not! Want a stainless exhaust obviously, any one recommend a decent fitter around Notts area? Tempted to go for a Blueflame through Rory182's group buy prices, however Lancs is a couple of hours away from me, may...

Expect they would be 'W' rated [upto 168mph] Standard tyres are this rating when new. Michelin Pilot Primacy or Pilot Sport are good, reasonably hard wearing too. Had them on mine, had done 23k miles, still 3-4mm of tread left on when i sold it! Bridgestone are now standard issue on the new...

New wheels look mint! Nice bit of beading you got going on from the rain. What shampoos/polishes/waxes did you use?

Start up the computer, press the 'DEL' key when booting up, it should go into the BIOS/SETUP menu......[blue screen usually] Should tell you somewhere there?

Welcome m8. In the short time I've been using the forum, it has to be said there are some sound people on here. Get some pics up....lovin that 'V'!!!

Local lads eh? Originally from Skegby! Still work Mansfield way.....keep yr eyes open for Monaco Blue 172 on the A617

Nice. Went to Edradour last summer, and Blair Athol. Nice places, esp good tour at Edradour. Did 24 distilleries in 3 days! Best tour by far was Glenfiddich near Dufftown. Nice mellow drink is Auchentoshan, latest ones I have tried are Speyburn and Dalmore. You still the man to get in...

Hi all, Reading thro the posts, it seems loads of you are from Scotland. Respect, I have been enlightened by the uisge-beatha.......actually i've been drowning in the bugger! [Water of Life........cue a dram of single malt scotch whisky!] I live near Newark in Nottinghamshire. Who lives near...
