wheels would look ok without the red band and if the car was a bit lower but if it was mine id be going with the standard wheels, spacers and lower

£400 isnt enough money to do a decent job with aftermarket. as stevo says 172 cup dampers all round and eibach sportline springs is what id be spending my cash on (its what i did spend my cash on!)

sounds like worn engine mounts possibly

they are auto leveling, if you lower it the sensor on the rear beam thinks the boots full so it points the headlights lower.

true, another manager i work with has a bigger store, gets about 10k a year more than me and drives an old W reg 318 bmw, total shed of a car, rust on it etc but serves him well and he says hes not replacing it till it dies. i have no idea what its worth, possibly £2k? if that? and i once had a...

never had a bird comment on most of my cars, a few of them liked the silver 172 as it was pretty new and imaculate at the time. birds love the GT though, most ask if they can press the start button lol

the 2 local dealerships are that bad that after 6 renaults i doubt ill buy another, shame really as i like the cars! sales are a disgrace and the monkeys servicing are worse. infact monkeys is being polite

what wheels/spacers is the tce running?!?

serviced outside the network? lol this was renault that serviced it!

dont bite, i cant stand to read another thread go this way lol

yep sure was

ive just recently bought a Lenovo X121e with an i3 1.4GHz, mine was quite a bit more than your budget as i specced the better battery, SSD drive, 8GB of ram and windows 7 pro but the budget one comes in at about £370 on the Lenovo site and other places do them for cheaper although i couldnt seem...

i find it near impossible but hey ho as long as it worked for you! welcome aboard!

deffo the box oil. dont forget the cabin filter and air filter too for all it costs.

yep its been bullet proof until it got serviced 3 weeks ago and been never ending problems since they forgot to fit the boost pressure sensor back on and it ended up getting chopped up by the radiator fan! was that related to what ive previously said or have you had the same problem in the...

i can deal with it developing problems, what i cant deal with is the dealers, this is the 5th time in 3 weeks on a car that has been sound for 10 months and 19k miles until they have had their grubby mitts on it! they mess me about, its never ready at the time they say it will, they do sub...

its not even a year old yet lol!!

3yrs on them now

who knows, wont go above 25mph as if its in limp mode, no warning lights on either lol

ahh not ideal. worth a try though. as i said above im mr dci, i swear by them but if a fuel pump fails you can be £500-£1000 doing it on the cheap to fix! that compaired to a coil pack or something on the petrol at £40-£50 is a big difference. this wudnt put me off if it was my car as they are...

cheers fred. 5th time in the dealership in 3 weeks after the 18k service, this is getting better!

hi guys, my DCi has broke down just wondering what way i should go about getting it recovered, do i phone renault assistance and i assume they tow it to my nearest dealer or do i phone my usual dealer and they arange pickup? never had to deal with this on a car under warranty. cheers

they are pretty similar engines, we found the insurance was much the same so it made sence to go with the 1.6 for the extra 10hp and bit more torque, but do a quote to make sure your the same

edde, if i had a maximum budget of 2500 to spend on a car for my mrs who wasnt doing mega miles, i wouldnt be buying a DCi. as people on here know ive had 3 dci's now, and never been let down once, but ive also saw the bills of people who have been let down. i dont fancy spending my mrs money...

yep thats true, k-tecs systems have a telescopic pipe that can be adjusted to cater for both cars

DCi's are awesome however they are getting on a bit and the last thing you want is for it to break and let your mrs down. this is why i bought my mrs a 1.6 16v Dynamique. i bought it as her first car, and after she got a 1.2 16v curtisy car when her car went in for warranty work she said shes...

our little 1.6 16v VVT clio was quick until it had its belt changed.... that was 2 years ago and im going to get it done again to have it done properly this time!

looking good ma man, love the fact me and you a few weeks ago were talking about our love for ph1's and never selling etc and now they are both for sale lol!!

in the scale of old rattly hot hatches, your correct! compaired to a ph1 though ;)

engines are bullet proof, ive done probably 70,000 hard miles in 172's and never been let down with an engine related issue yet! or a gearbox actually!
