Confirms what I suspected. Were the Raceland lowered the same amount because I found my Vmaxx harsh until the back was raised slightly.

Fancyplates 520mm x 90mm to fit the recess.

Yes, done the Renaultsport trackdays at Cadwell and Oulton. I find Vmaxx handle well on track but to be honest I don't know any better as I haven't driven Clios on other coilovers. My car compared to others does respectably though on track certainly not the slowest.

Think you misunderstood what I was saying. I think Raceland, being TUV approved and well reviewed by members, are just as good quality as Ktec/Vmaxx. My point was Ktec are happy to sell Raceland now because they are the same coilovers.

Trophy suspension unless your prepared to pay top dollar for coilovers.

Pics of your Mrs/GF is probably the longest at 10k plus replies. Clearly apart from the cosmetics Raceland/Ktec/Vmaxx coilovers are the same components (I have Vmaxx). Ktec were trying to protect sales of their own coilovers when they said they wouldn't touch Raceland. You'd hope Ktec wouldn't...

Can't make this either sorrry.

I'd replace the plugs mine looked quite bad after two years. Get NGK PFR6E-10 off ebay and change them yourself it's quite easy to do and better than paying garage rates.

432 only available from Renault in a touchup pen and Halfords Monaco blue isn't a very good match.

Does anyone know what type of bulb is used for the Cup Spoiler brake light? Is it the same as for the standard 172 spoiler? Cheers

I've got tax, mot and insurance to pay this week then I'm visiting jms for some goodies.

Thats a good price!

So am I! Where abouts are people staying the night before?

Cup spoilers improve back of car massively.

Hopefully you get it sorted tomorrow.

Just seen this today, shame your not offering this for sale I was interested in having it fitted :dapprove:

If thats true buy 4 for £250 and sell the 3 you've got for £120 each then you've got £110 for beer money....

Gives you full access to the site eg Guides section etc and you also get a nice membership pack and member discounts. I don't think £4k was overpriced from a dealer for a 172. Firstly if it was bought private you wouldn't have had any come back on the sale. Secondly Monaco is the best colour...

DS2500s are so much better than standard pads. They can still squeal even fitted properly.

Mine used to squeak every now and then but don't make any noise at all now.

No it was introduced to 172 from July 2002 onwards.

Knowsit LY ;)

Yes, I get mine from a mate who works for Camberley Auto Factors, they've got a branch in Portsmouth

Trading Standards, Citizens Advice and the Finance company have said you can return the car so just write the letter! If your not sure what to write give them another call. The Law is on your side so the garage have no option.

You don't need a solicitor they were just trying to scare you off using your statutory rights to return the car. Write the letter and send copies by recorded delivery to the garage and finance company. Also ring the garage to let them know you are returning the car and to expect the letter.

^^ Without a doubt!

I got them at trade because my mate works for same Group as Performance Parts Direct

I've been told my Stealth is louder than normal. What's best way to check the exhaust over?

I paid £77.13 + vat when I bought mine last summer.

It's a known issue caused by the manifold hitting the subframe. To fix you need to loosen the engine mounts, move engine forward then re-tighten.
