He was using the Subaru as an example to explain the relevance of knock sensors to fuel grade/RON which I thought was a good way to illustrate the point. Mixing petrol....do you mean using octane booster?

Well I certainly wouldn't locate any oil sensor in the sump lol

lol @ Weeman

Absolutely....same with a lot of Jap cars running big turbos

Have to agree..on public roads there can't be much difference

Exactly....sump is a s**t place to take the reading from anyway especially temp.

Good advice..your kinda wasting money chasing bhp on it

That's what I suggested up there...worth checking

Oh yes..love that chequerplate floor as well:D

Compared to the 182 you'l find the Golf TDIs handling/steering so, so vague...you can really feel that it's a heavy car. Economical though and if your doing large amounts of motorway miles is quiet and comfortable at speed.

Agree but a completely different type/category of car really. Doesn't stop the Clios being good fun to drive though:D

Have to agree on the above

Good advice:D

lol We'll need a sticky for air filters/IKs, decats, exhausts etc etc though

I'd go for the 182...if your not tracking it often it'll be more than enough to keep you entertained on the roads plus it'll have all the toys:D

I used Super in my WRX and that was fine even though it was an import so I always whack SU in my 172 knowing that it's safe. Lots of people rate Optimax but I also don't use it as there just aren't enough Shell garages around my way.

Pair or single Fred? Wouldn't mind buying a set of these if the price is good

Nothing....it's good enough as it is

Now, now, you can't say ONLY a 172...that'll cause lots of s**t on here lol

Crank sensor if there is one?

Could do bushes as well..that would ighten things up in the handling department.

The one piece exhaust for the 172 is bloody expensive new...IIRC Renault quoted me over 300 for one! Obviously I sacked that off and got a K-tec Stealth instead.

Trophy is limited edition anyway Even if it was red the giveaway is the seats

I wouldn't of thought Xenons aould be that bad if properly adjusted. As for the fogs..well, unless it's foggy just turn the f**kers off.

I don't think so

I had a custom made Janspeed exhaust on my old 205 gti and the quailty was very good. Brought a Janspeed sports cat recently aqnd that's good quality also but not sure what their exhausts are like nowadays.

Someone should get on the case an make up some stonger aluminum brackets to replace the OE ones.

Always sad seeing a cherished car go:( I remember selling my old car...met up with the buyer who I knew at a pub down the road handed over the keys, had a pint and walked home with the cash in my pocket feeling a little sad. That soon passes though when you find something new:D Good luck...

Depends how old you are I suppose I wouldn't want to pay anything over £500 on the Clio but I have hit 30

Knew that would amuse someone lol:D
