    Very lucky escape, huge lesson learned.

    i think you done the correct thing, you arn't out of pocket, guy doesnt want to knife you for reporting him to trading standards, if someone is that interested they will HPI it and wont buy it, if they arn't they wont, will buy it and probably have many happy miles motoring oblivious to the...

    Spark Plug blown

    Will a 32" TV fit in the boot of a clio?

    i got a 32" led in the back of my old dears twingo, seats slid forward as they dont fold down. alternator died soon after though, dont think it could cope with the power draw

    Opinions going from 172 -> R27 197?

    things move on, cars get bigger, safer, heavier. doesnt need to make them more boring, the 200 is much better than the 172/182 was

    Clio GT any good?

    try and find a diesel one in your price range mate, much quicker around town low down and mid range and do twice the mpg with half the road tax!

    This PCP malarkey...

    you can add servicing packages and other extras. just remember mate its a tough market out there, the balls in your court, i was in the dealership for 2 and a half hours fighting for the deal on my 200, i just threttned to walk away twice by just simply getting the salesman excited then saying...

    JP Exhaust (Yozza) + De-Cat - Amateurs Review

    either i must be getting old or these JP exhausts are black magic, standard clio 200 is too loud on the motorway lol

    This PCP malarkey...

    i was told by the dealer (not sure how true it is) that you get a much better rate on a pcp deal on a brand new car than you do on a 2nd hand one i dont know if its down to the actual interest rate its self or if its manufacturer support or what not

    My Megane Coupe dCi

    very nice, same engine i had in the clio, get a good bit quicker with miles, dont know what weight the megane is but it had a good punch in the clio 3, mine used to make great ground cross country and never even reving past 3k!

    TCE, stock turbo, how much power?

    yep makes sence, not many people have played with them so no one seems to know what other injectors can be used
  24. Martin_172

    This PCP malarkey...

    you are still paying for the millage by the amount it has de valued the car, as you would with any car. your not paying the excess millage charge as this is charged by the finance company when the car is inspected before being returned to them, in the case of a trade in though its not going...

    TCE, stock turbo, how much power?

    as above, injectors are your first bottleneck, not sure if their is a common swap for them for something else? after you have sorted the breathing mods id imagine the turbo will be your next limit, they are tiny! stock car with a remap though should be pushing 125-130bhp however as edde says...

    1.5 Dci - MK2 PH2 - 2002 - 65BHP - A lot of smoke - Oil being used fast!

    what sort of millage on it, sounds like the turbo oil seals have gone. pop the EGR valve off it and that should give you a good indication if they have or not as it will be covered in oil, another check is also to pop a boost pipe off, they should have some oil in it, just a light light coating...

    This PCP malarkey...

    No it doesnt, ive done it with my last 2 cars. The traded in car is being bought by the dealer not returned to the finance company, dealer settles the outstanding finance on your behalf and any extra is yours towards your deposit or any short fall is added onto your new agreement.
  28. Martin_172

    This PCP malarkey...

    millage limits only apply if your handing it back and walking away though, not if your trading it in or planning on keeping.

    Clio GT any good?

    a good few fun times in that car punching above its weight! not quite as good as the dci100 vs 172 cup incident!
