hi clare :) i took my 172 in for its 1st service today, they gave me a pricing book. looking at it now, a diesels small service is £129.00 all in excl extra parts from Theale Reno near reading. Hope this helps, g

dont want to stop reading it. want to be bitchy about it instead :D g

sorry, what i meant was.... i tend to doubt most of what autocar writes; however, Im not doubting that the Clio V6 does sound great. g

one ear and two mouths... g

autocar also said they could tell a great deal about the handling dynamics of the new Jag saloon...from the passenger seat. Thats about as accuarate as asking Stevie Wonder to draw what he thinks the Jag looks like, so I tend to take Autocar with a pinch of salt. g

so, the puppys in for a 12k service (at 11k...) and to have the rust fixed. I bought two new front tyres on saturday (£140 all in) and my service will be about £125. Ching ching. Not sure when itll be ready so I now have a green Clio 1.2 with 5k on the clock as a courtesy car. Its very, very...

if you buy a reno via reno uk, you should get a customer mag every now and then. Owners of non reno uk imports dont qualify for it. Maybe they think we cant read English or something. g

oooh, matron! g

aye, and theres prolly a half hour labour charge for it! g

LOL!!!!! :D :D g

sheesh, I never thought that what lays underneath would be as exciting as...the chassis number! :D Youre prolly right, Chavy. g

lol, yeah, surprised the cup has them!! ;) g

but theyre quite stiff and I didnt want to force them... g

sit in your drivers seat. Look down to your left at the trim that covers the sills on the passenger side. Run your eye along it until you come to a flap. Theres one on the opposite side on drivers side too. Whats under the flap? Any ideas? g

Good thinking! You are the man!! Better strip all the paint off too - no point us being rumbled if weve got this far!! :D g

very best wishes for your new home! Easter is the best time to move for sure and you have the summer to look forward to, also! g

top plan! We may need to talk about the engine, too; no one wants the mickey mouse 2.0 when the 1.2 is all the rage. Swap ya for ya interior bits also, if that helps? :D You are so doing me a favour here!! :D g

thats what AutoExpress reckon. the Clio 1.2 16v is currently the best used small car you can buy. In light of the sudden demand for used 1.2s that this accolade is going to generate, Im going to badge my Clio as a 1.2 a sell it tomorrow at a premium price over a normal used 172. Is I a genius OR...

Hate is a pretty strong term, which is why Im happy to make a sweeping statement and say that I hate all drivers of black cabs and mini cabs. Except for the nicer ones, though. The rest should all be tipped into an incinerator. g

hi Ben, it could have been the 4WD one that they did about ten years ago. They were meant to be pretty quick, a 1.7 16v. I think (but I maybe wrong) that they were a quad cam, too, though my 33 knowledge is a bit pants! g

Jeremy, youre biased ;) g

even if it wasnt a BMW, no harm in blaming a BMW driver anyway ;) g

Hippy and BenR - I was terribly saddened to read of your personal losses. I hope that whatever suffering youve endured in the past is at some point in your life matched by an equal pleasure, because you dont half deserve it. g

good thinking Carlo!! next time youre driving, why not saying something aloud like my the EUs planning to ban lunchtime across Europe soon. That should do the trick! g

snails. Hes French. :D g

i cannne control her!!! g

when accelerating from rest, swerve violently from left to right to create the impression to other motorists that youre wrestling with 600lbs of torque thundering through your front wheels. Instant respect. g
