    Question RE: Insurance & MOT

    lmao, legend. Personally I would ring up the insurers and explain to them the situation and make SURE you are okay to drive it without MOT. It really is that easy to get pulled and if you are found out to be without insurance or MOT they will rape you up the behind.

    Spliting rear speaker cable

    Don't bother with 6x9's just get some uprated ones to fit in place of the originals if you are that much of a skint flint.

    Using hammerite on plastics. Can i?

    Hammerite is only for bare metal really as it's all about protecting metal from rust.

    Midlife makeover suggestions!

    1. If you want to give it a fresh, tighter feel then you'll probably need to get springs and shocks + a full set of uprated bushes will go a long way. 2. Standard plugs/filters/oil will do fine. 3. Go for it. 4. It's the upper engine mount iirc you have to loosen the bolts and pull the...

    hell yeah failing that some 172 wheels will look 10x better than the standard dynamique alloys especially the early ones.

    Depends what colour your car is although I would say get some 16's first.

    my clios a bag of s**t!

    Indeed hit and miss I'm on my second clio, the first was an absolute nightmare of a car to have but I loved it to bits thats why I took a chance on getting another and so far so good after just over a month of ownership.

    Lowering: Insurance

    I got a quote with Adrian Flux with a huge list of mods, some I haven't done yet and it worked out cheaper than insuring the standard car with another company. Anyway on topic, honestly I would say get your own insurance and then tell them about as many mods as you like but if you are going to...

    Couple of Rust Spots

    Just wondering if anyone can advise the best way to go about removing a couple of rust spots on the wheel arch? I touched them up a few weeks back but only lightly so it seems to have come off with the air being fairly moist and what not. I'm thinking of taking it to a bodyshop but not sure...

    Blu Ray DVDs

    Only Blue-Ray movie I have is Dark Knight which I had to get seeing as imo it's a quality film and it was one of, if not the last film/s the late Heath Ledger was in.

    whats the best remap for 1.6 16v?

    The 1.6 is fairly nippy as standard but I wouldn't bother with remapping it and judging by what you've said you don't look like you are going to pile loads into it so the cost of remapping would be better spent elsewhere.

    Xenon Headlights

    £120 starting bid?! How much are you after for these?

    my car is drinking petrol :(

    First off check tyre pressure, it should be at 30/31 psi all round. Then get the car serviced and third, reset the trip computer and take the car for a good run and go from there. If the problem persists then there must be an underlying problem which judging by what you have said you are not...

    ebay probably but they are a waste of time.

    Front speakers

    Personally I would put better components in the front doors but run them off the headunit, forget about the tweeters in the dash just fade the output to the rear slightly and if you put amped components in the rear then you have a decent setup.

    how to check if the gear box mounts are gone?

    Chances are it will be the bush inside the rear gearbox mount that has worn but Renault don't supply just the bush, you have to buy the whole mount but for mine it was only £20 and free fitting.

    Any Running Issues On A 172 Running DeCat???

    Never had a decat myself but my dad had a decat on his 216 GTi a few years back and it run like a bag of poop, poor mpg, strong fuel smell, poor idle but it did give it that extra punch in performance. Obviously we're talking Honda here so a totally different kettle of fish but just a heads up.

    renault garages are a joke

    Just take it to a place you can trust (ie not kwik fit) it's just a Clio at the end of the day we aren't talkin about a merc/bmw/ferrari etc are we the technology in the whole car is ancient so pretty much any mechanic will know what he's doing, I fail to understand why people would want Renault...

    First Big Update :)

    To fit that bumper all you needed was the bumper itself and 172 wheel arches? Does look better but howcome you want a ph3 front bumper?

    All dealers are clowns full stop I waited about 2 hours whilst the car was supposedly being serviced which it hadn't.
