I wonder if it was a shock absorber but I'm no mechanic!! lol Its going in next week to be looked at, hopefully they won't try and pull a fast one and say its not covered. My mums Focus had a faulty shock at 2 years (20k) and they said it wasn't covered under warranty. Lets hope Renault...

Basically.................is it difficult on a Mk1 Clio??? I've just ordered a ready primed Clio RT front bumper which I'm gonna get the bodyshop to spray up but to save on costs I plan on taking the old one off and fitting it myself. Anyone know how difficult it is or problems I could...

My missus Clio 182 Cup has been making some odd noises and is booked in for it to be looked at under warranty. It seems to make a slight creaking noise, not when driving at speed but at slow speeds. If you creeping over a speed bump or when parking and stopping slowly. The car was looked...

Being a turbo it'll be easy to re-map and get over the 200bhp mark as well!! But at the end of the day, its still a new Corsa and they're uglier than most of the new shaped motors and don't forget they're now massive too. (much like the 197 anyway).

That splitter does look like a noncy girls skirt IMO though!! lol Have to defend inferno though, done right it actually looks aweseome, especially in the sunlight. I'm glad they stopped it coz it makes any inferno RS' that bit rarer. :p

Their service varies completely at that place. I took my 172 in for a service and to have the seat tightened up. Came back with damage and took em nearly 4 months to get the correct parts to replace what they'd damaged. Eventually they got it back to me and refunded my £200 service so they...

Maybe if they'd have launched it at a reasonable price people wouldn't be so reluctant to buy one. I know a couple of people I work with who got one on launch and paid £500+ for it with a game or two. They are the complate techs who have to have all the latest computer hardware and software...

Anyone??? :p

Does anyone know if a 1993 Clio RT exhaust would be bolted on or welded? I've been offered a Powerflow back box for mine at a really good price but trying to work out how easy its gonna fit. The back box was originally off a 1991 Clio 1.2 RN. Any help much appreciated. :D

If the paints not broken then that should cost you a fair bit less!! Which is good :D :D :D

Take it to a proper body shop, get em to quote your for a total repair. Less likely to be a new door, they'll pop the dent out, fill if necessary and respray the area!! Probably looking at £200 to £300 if its anything to go by on my Clio. Maybe more as I know inferno isn't the easiest colour...

Shame abour your rims mate. Have to say that the black steelies look strangely good. Definitely try and get some black alloys to replace your damaged ones. :D :D

Well mate, as long as she's aware its got this damage leave it up to her to haggle really. If you're honest with whoever you're selling to it should be ok, let her make her mind up. If you haven't told her that the door got scuffed today she might be a bit p!ssed if you haven't mentioned it.

Got a 93 Clio RT 1,4 has 69.5k on the clock and driver well except one thing. The gear change from 1st into 2nd sometimes crunches, almost like I haven't put the clutch down in time. Doesn't happen from 2nd to 3rd and almost seems a bit worse after its warmed up or on a fast change...

They look very moody, especially with the dark wheels. I guess it depends on the car. I know the Fiesta Zetec-S headlights can be opened up, a lot of the time to remove the orange reflector and a number of people have sprayed the inside of the head lights.

I actually reckon that Punto forum is actually pretty decent. You won't find many car specific forums that are as open minded and logical as that one. Try the MR2OC for that!!! Fair enough some of them didn't like the V6 but everyone is entitled to their own opinion. I reckon most of them...

They won't make the Clio 197 faster than a Megane 225 otherwise we'd all go for the cheaper Clios. But what they could do is make a 'super Clio' like they did with the V6 or just move the range upwards so the 197 gets faster and so does the Megane. The performance is all reflected by the...

Where's the info on this, is my Megane 225 tax gonna be something stupid???

Reliability wise I don't think this would be the reason why they haven't done turbos so much. On MeganeSport.net there is only one possible case of a failed turbo, not heard of any more through there and there have been about 1500 phase 1s sold however many phase 2s have been sold. Turbo...

Surely, you'll be able to trace this back to who ever broke into your car??? Just get your 'mate' to ask who he got it from, to contact the theif for some 'extra business', then meet up with him and kick the little cNuts head in!!!

Due to the Clio 3 being that much bigger they'ver kept making the Clio 2 to fill the gap in the market for a smaller hatch. The Twingo will fill that gap when that comes out. The same way that Renault brought out the Clio in 1991 but kept the 5 in production until 1995. The Twingo could...

I guess a Clio 182 would be fairly practical but a 5 door Meg 225 would definitely tick all the practicality boxes and still give that turbo buzz she'd have got from the Evo. Also you can get a Meg 225 for £12k with decent mileage on it too. :D

Actually, can I change my worst!! I actually got over taken by my aunt who insists her battered, left hand drive HDI 206 is the fastest car ever built. I was in my mums SportKa but had a BMW in front of me yesterday. She pulled up on the right and floored it but I had to ease off due to not...

Oh dear, looks like someone's got a bit handy with the Tippex!!! lol I'm sorry but white colour coding, even on a white car generally ends up looking pants.

From what it says on you profile you've got a 1999 Alize but what colour you got?? (can't see pics) Good start is wheels, springs, exhaust. Might want to sort out some ICE as well? :D

Worst - Some chavved up old Civic while driving my mums old Focus 1.6 or the Corsa with 2000cc, 250bhp and throttle bodies!! Still a Corsa though haha. Best - My missus 182 Cup coz my Megane hadn't warmed up and I couldn't boot it! :(

Looks good mate!! Friend of mine had a modified Cougar which he made his own angel eyes for. Had three in each headlight cluster and looks the nuts.

I wouldn't let anyone drive my motor let alone a learner!! :(

Car looks lovely mate, probably the best colour 172 IMO, even though I had an iceberg one!! lol Probably the best colour for a 182 as well!! :D

If its insurance then speak to your insurers and get them to sort it. When my mum's SportKa got damaged and repaired by some bit repair centre it came back with the bumper not lined up correctly. She spoke to em and they sent someone out who fixed it outside the house. If you're not...
