Gray - i know, i feel a fool for not thinking of it sooner, it ran fine after the cleaning operation but few days later it was like this, probably due to being left for a bit, ah well, alls well that ends well and least i found out about spark plugs and feel better for knowing i've checked...
Re: Best clio sport blue opinions
to sell on, keep it o/e and respray it monaco
for your own use, alien green could look trick or LY as a favourite
best blue is obviously Racing, but a 172 is not worth of it ;) rofl!
cheers Craig
ai the plates will be being replaced with clean and simple pressed jobs like i run on the mk1, much cleaner, just not got round to sorting them yet as toying with getting a personal plate for it so that can wait :-)
its currently rolling on the black superlegs but i do have white...
as above, sometimes you can get them out if theres enough of a gap, but for the sake of 10 mins removing the wheel, its not worth breaking the cap or damaging the wheel risking it imo
totally normal, my mk 1 on the F7 lump does the same, in fact all my mk1's have, 16v and williams slight hiccup in the idle.
the 172 and the 182 have both been the same

First day using the car for work etc...........and it goes belly up!lol!
spent the morning commute kangarooing and spluttering down the road at 40mph, very annoying! got to work and left it till lunch.
did a bit of geeking and pulled up the CTS as likely cause so i took a half day...
i want to remove them from the car, but how have people stopped the pipes pissing washer fluid out? screw up the end or something less pikie?
cheers

as above, either repair it and stick it on the rear and take a spare wheel to get you home if it does give out or get two matching budgets sorted for the rear of the car and have a bit of tail happy fun sunday
take yours off and photograph it and send that pic above in with it to the supplier and tell them they have an error on their part system and you want a refund/replacement
he tends to run steelies on track ai, but Williams wheels in anthracite daily, thing can do 12 second 1/4 mile on drag slicks as well iirc, in a van with a frankensteins monster forehead on it! epic!
pretty much cheers Pablo
just one more bit, if that list is concise then this is a rhetorical question but are all 182's same offset, so standard, cup/ff and trophy?
I did a quick couple of searches in the obvious places but couldn't easily find the answer I seek
what is the official and correct offset for each clio mk2 sport model? so:
- phase 1 172
- phase 2 172
- phase 2 172 cup
- phase 2 182
- phase 2 182 cup/FF
- phase 2 182 trophy
cheers...
correct, tis not something that will lead to an instant failure, and I don't deny it will add wear, but from my experience that extra wear is so negligible over the life I get from parts and the cost of the parts its just not even worth talking about. its the same when people mention camber...
splitter is like a million quid from Renault so most (myself included) use skoda splitter, £11 from the dealer and its from a 07 plate or newer fabia, trim a bit off and self tap it on, done. its not identical so those purists in the know tend to poo poo them but for the cost on a low car its...
I have run 15mm bolt through (but centre bore lipped) spacers on the front of my mk1 for 5 years, done 5 track days and countless pod runs and lots of road use and still on same bearings I put in when I did the front end overhaul at same time I fitted the spacers. I also run none centre bored...
