Thanks for the replies, I'd never seen or heard of a blue font either! I'm ringing my insurers now to say I won't take it back till the seats match.

The place repairing my 2002 Clio 172 on insurance have told me that Renault no longer make the Renaultsport seat trim with silver writing. Does anybody know if this is correct? Now they are going to fit one with blue writing as they say that's all they still do. Part number I was given is...

Get one you won't regret it.

Me as well as I was delighted with your work when you serviced mine. I can also recommend Martins Renault in Basingstoke as I've had a few bits and bobs done there.

I was using Tesco 99 but mpg was quite poor, with V-power I get an extra 2/3mpg and it runs alot smoother.

Would it be possible to drop a 197 engine into a 172 or 182?

Not your car is it!?

Not me I haven't been to Soton for ages.

Do you have a ClioSport sticker and tinted windows?

They probably think they look the dogs b****cks :S They look worse than in the pic as well!

Spotted a Clio 1.2 Grande with hubcap "spinners" in car park of Tesco in Hook.

He was responding to my post. I agree with what he's said since and I own a 172.

Depends how its geared.

A pair of pliers does the trick as well.

This must be a joke if they'll recall a loose bit of carpet but not a potentially lethal bonnet catch :S

Totally agree with you. Its rare and different, I've only ever seen a couple of Vee's on the road before. Performance and handling doesn't make a car. A great car is about how it looks, feels, sounds etc.

Do you work on Houndmills? Seen a Black 172 sometimes when I go to HSBC.

Anyone on here?

Out of interest what readings did you get? Or was it a dodge?

I get this quite often in my 172, mostly happens in traffic. I ease off to get a decent gap to the car in front then I pull away from the car behind into the space i've created. Usually they get the message if not i'll give them a brake test!

Good idea but it won't act a a visual deterent to thieves which you get with steering locks. I've always find after a while you never bother fitting them.

Got home from work today and the key wouldn't lock the car. The light on the key flashes when I press it but nothing happens. The spare key works though so is it a case of needing a new battery or something more major?

Good price that and the best colour. Might just be unlucky with the stone chips as mine doesn't have any problem with them.

The TVR looks amazing. Bet its expensive if something goes wrong though!

Probably nothing to worry about. Clear the faults and check again in a few weeks.

So you've never got the backend out on a rounabout in your rattly 182?? New thread needed. dandycaptain: c**k extraordinaire

I was parked next to you in my 172.

And the spectators start clapping :eek:

K-Tec do a 182 mani to 172 exhaust link with either sports cat or decat pipe.
