lol @ the comments, unfortunately they apparently do want all that for 10 minutes work. Question is am I a lot better off getting the switch from a scrap yard, and would I be able to replace the switch and button myself, or is it a pretty skilled task? The thing im worried about is the rear...

Never got round to doing this, and it's finally got to a point where the button doesn't even trigger the hazards at all now! I called Renault. They said: - £17.05 + VAT for the HzL switch - £34.43 including Vat for fitting Oh dear. I really don't fancy spending £50+ to replace a 3 inch piece...

Naa agreed ^^. They didn't even colour code the door strips, which I don't like imo, and the alloys leave a bit to be desired. I think there's very few cars that look tasty in white, Audi A3, Spoon Civ + ITR's and Scoobs are about the only one's that can pull it off. I really like the 197...

Get a 1.6 Dynamique mate, particularly nice in black :) Perfectly fast enough for you at your age, and insurance is likely to be nicer on the wallet, and still has some modding potential. Unless you have no monthly finanical outgoings and a lot of financial support from family etc OR a very...

www.letstorquebhp.com/calculator.asp Along the same lines as Foxon's post but slightly easier ;)

Is there an official UK release date for the W960? I'm biding my upgrade time with o2 for that one! Can't wait tbh, looks a really tidy phone. Thanks, Pete.

I hope that's it - sounds like it! Shall try - Many thanks :D

Hey guys, My Dyna came with Xenon's fitted as an optional extra purchased by the previous owner on production, and until now the auto xenon feature like on the 1*2's always worked without fail on my car. I went and dicked around fitting various different LED sidelights to replace the halogen...

What, in 6th? I thought the rev's would be lower than that :S Pete.

Hey guys, In almost every review I've read on the 172/182, the first negative point is usually always that they aren't very comfortable, or generally not very refined on motorways. I really am unclear as to why. Even my 1.6 Dynamique sits at 80 very comfortably and has a lot of umph left in it...

Hey Has, Gonna bring this thread back from the dead again. If I disable WEP key encryption, but just have MAC address filtering enabled on the router downstairs, is my wireless still 'secure' and only the machines I list in the router config are able to steal my internet bandwidth and access...

Oh, cool. Heard that on here tbh. If I find it, I'll quote it in here. Think it was on my last sat nav related thread. I've gotta say your the only one I've heard say its good. Yeah I mean aftermarket asin TomTom/Navman/Garmin portable units, they're popular but I'd much sooner have one as...

Ha, but, just generally if there any any to avoid. Obviously, if I buy another Renault I want to know if there's is any cop.

Hey guys, How easy is it to take a car x years old, and go to the manufacturers direct and have a sat nav system installed? I'm expecting the prices are fairly through the roof, but don't mind too much as nothing is cheap from them direct. I understand the official Renault unit isn't too good...

This happens so much, I don't think there's any point in reacting anymore. The right hand lane for straight on at roundabouts to get past queues ****'s me off just as much as that. It's dangerous and selfish when the rest of the traffic infront and behind takes the left hand lane properly. Pete.

Completely random, but my 1.6 whistles whenever the aircon or climate control is completely off at higher speeds, soon as you knock it on, it stops. Obviously nothing to do with the engine, but maybe worth a look. Pete.

The new diesel Dynamiques are 6 speed aren't they - That must help matters performance and economy wise? Kinna waiting for a bargain on one of those 100 brake models. Pete.

Pic Request Please: Monaco Blue 172 on 182 Anthracite Wheels. Did do a search! :D Nothing found though unfortunately. Real piccies or any photoshops would be ace. Thanks, Pete.

Without trying myself, will the same app work on my SE W850i too, as it uses the same format software as the K800i if I remember correctly? I understand it's also 3Mobiles only? Thanks, Pete.

Is 130bhp the best you can expect chaps? Was hoping for slightly more... Must say the dci106 has caught my eye as ideally I require a diesel as next purchase. Any other engine mods that could improve performance realisitically? Thanks, Pete.

Wow, no fog light pics - You must be normal :p ;) Joking apart bud, looks a really nice, tidy example. Xenons against the iceberg look the dogs, will look awesome at night. Hopefully one day soon I'll know the feeling of staring at a 172/182 freshly purchased and parked on my driveway...

Is there anything you've got to ensure stays fresh/clean to keep it around the 40mpg mark? I dont get that now in my Dynamique, let alone in a 172. Is the key regular Air filter or oil changes, or something similar? I check my tyres, oil, screenwash and engine coolant, but doesn't really...

Hey Russ, Only 5 brake extra? Wouldn't be worth it one bit imo. I understand generally there's car specialists throughout the UK that can tune Audis and VW's from the 130 mark up to 180/190, maybe thats only diesels, I'm not sure, but why's it expected to be so little on the Mk2 Clio's...

Guys, New office at work is just over 30 miles away, meaning I'll be doing 61 odd miles a day just to get to work and back. So very tempted to trade the Dynamique in for a 172, but mileage and fuel usage puts me off. Ideally I'd get a diesel obviously [or a new job ;)] but new job isn't really...

Gonna' bring this thread back to life if you don't mind fellas. What's involved to remap a 1.6 Dynamique, how much could you expect to improve performance and expect to pay? Many thanks, Pete.

Suprised he had time to make that video rather than spending it in the gym, so he can look a mac'ho-mo' man in his tank top :eek:

Hey Guys, From being on the forum the short time that I have been, I've strongly sensed that the general opinion is that the Michelin PE2's are the best tyre that most you 172/182, cup/trophy/PhQ etc owners have on your Clio's. Do you chaps believe they are they the best all round tyre on any...

Thanks Carina, they look really smart imo. You've got 2 accounts?! :)

Sorry Carina, you recommending those to me? :D Look good... Are they noticeable in the light, i.e. evening before dusk? Thanks, Pete.
