On the old BMW's I've worked on I found them a delight to work on as they are simple and logical, and being a longitudinal engine really easy to remove. Glad this one is being saved :up:

I have storage for the interior and wheels for future value. But don’t want the hassle of doing it. Rather have a red or blue one without the interior swap. I heard Renault planned to sell the exclusive in more numbers but could only find 172 people that liked the interior enough to buy it.....

It’s more of I’ve had a titanium one and wanted something different. Would have an exclusive but I couldn’t live with that interior.

My thinking exactly. I’ve just tried to work out if I can go look at it but the world doesn’t want me to 😞 I have zero time pretty much all of January. However never say never, I might work it out somehow as this is exactly the thing I am after. Standard, looked after, little bit...

That would explain the nice looking 205’s in the pictures! Yeah the add is fine and honest, just a little too much. If I wasn’t away with work all week I would be going to have a look.

Definately need a bit of drop in ride height.

Sorry it’s been a long day! https://www.pistonheads.com/classifieds/used-cars/renault/clio/flame-red-phase-one-172--1-of-60-98k-4owners/7742515 Also says standard but looks like it has a bucket seat for the driver.

Just seen a flame red Ph1 on Pistonheads. £2500. Seems a bit steep considering lack of history. Also I recognise it from somewhere but can’t remeber where, anyone know it? Still on the look out for one to replace my Octavia....

My non-sport I had was awful for this if I opened the door too soon. The Ph1 172 was a lot better, although the alarm has gone off whilst driving it after about 2 mins of opening it, getting in and then setting off. Looked liked I stole it. Difficult to turn off as it wouldn't respond to the...

I like your battery mod for jumping it. As the battery in my E34 is under the back seat there is a positive terminal under a flap under the bonnet then just use a bolt for the negative. Might have to do what you’ve done as the top mount bolts are tiny to get a good grip on it. Also a right faff...

Pretty much yep! Mainly as I like the colour of them.

^^^ This. They put the wrong colour interior in it. The wheels I could cope with but the first thing I would do is swap that interior for a standard Ph1 one. Obviously keep the awful interior for when they go up in value and revert it back to standard. The colour is really nice and suits it...

Green and yellow like the Laguna!! Will have to go gold alloys and a Nescafé sticker too... You cannot to wrong with a bit of BTCC-ness. Big wing also compulsory.....

Dark purple would be really nice.

Must. Not. Open. This. Thread. In other news, people may have seen on Facebook my old one might be for sale, lad posted a “what’s it worth” ad and was shocked it was worth what he paid for it despite getting the belts done. Part of me says buy it back. Part of me says never in a million years.

That will polish out.....

I managed to get mine on track once on the Clio, think she was just intreeged by what it was all about. She thought the Clio was loud, harsh and stupid. Prefered it when I too the orange wheels off. She much prefers the E34 I currently have as we can use it more, I couldn't see why we couldn't...

I wondered why it wouldn’t come up on auto complete.

Just as long as it is whiter than it is then I will be happy. Annoyed as I use a seat covers if I go cycling in case I get muddy and wet, which I did today, and took the seat cover off to vacuum and there was wet spots where it had seeped through.

What is the product to clean seats? The white parts in my Octavia vRS seats are not as white. Whoever thought white seats and carpets was a good idea is a fool.

May have missed it but what colour you going for? The original colour or another Renault option?

I removed half a bucket of water from the sills in my old Ph1 once. No idea how long that was in there for.

Not really, will give it a go when I am next in the car. I am sure someone said it was the air con causing it to me ages ago, but never told me how to solve it.

Ever since I had my air con regassed my windscreen appears to have this greasy-like marks that appear over time that looks like it needs de-misting, but it doesn't clear with the heater. They sort of look like smear marks as if I haven't dried it properly when washing the car. Definately on the...

Yours was that little bit extra though than just a “standard” Ph1. For that money I would want a bit more than standard and well loved

I have been wtaching this too as I am after another Ph1. Although being an Exclusive I am not 100% tempted to just go and buy it and deal with having to sell my daily car after, plus not being at home during the week atm too to sort out selling the car and that. I think it is a good price, I...

Mine used to drop to cold/off when the fan kicked in and then when the fan stopped it then jumped back to the temeprature it was. Turned out to be a faulty temp sensor. And yes it is under the air box area on the side of the engine.

I've omitted I have the Ph1 disease

From when my PAS high pressure pipe went I looked at it and thought that is a pig of a job and took it to a garage, who i think made it into a bit of a mamoth task by dropping the sub frame and complained to me that it was far too difficult, and from comments on here was totally un-necessary. I...

If the Exlcuisve was to be a second car I would buy it and swap the interior without a thought. But as it is to be the daily I don't want to put that much effort into it.....yet. Odessey Blue, Scarab Green (just ruined with the interior!) and Flame Red are the best colours IMO.
