Nice one , sounds like you shouldn't haven't any problems with the claims . Hope your all feelin' better soon :)
The claim for the whiplash will come off the womans insurance . Plus if they do repair your car , it can devalue it after a repair , so you can claim for the depreciation of your...
It all depends on the severity of the impact , the position the car is impacted . Sensors in the car determine whether it is severe enough to deploy the air bags or just the seat belt pretensioners .
I had an argument with a motorway crash barrier on a bend at between 50- 60mph and mine...
Fcuk me ! Not " Gary " from Eastenders ?? Its gotta be worth at least a tenner more , lol ;)
Seriously , get your ass down and have a look , its not even loosened up yet :)
Maybe it will get better after you've got some miles under your belt , when it carbs up and smooths out the flow , plus you might get a slight noise increase .
Like ya say , have a drive in somebodys who still has the original if ya can .
Gotta admit though , thats probably one of the...
You could get em refurbed , if its only the paint and not kerbing as well it wouldn't cost you much .
Where in the UK are ya ?
Any pics of the bubbling ??
The back boxes do look alot smaller than the originals , now whether that is the cause of the problem i'm not sure . I've seen similar sized back boxes posted on here before but nobody seemed to have any problems with it slowing the car down .
Firstly , that looks the the dogs mate . How much ? Only thing i can suggest is that the bore of the pipe going into the back boxes is smaller than the original size , 63mm is the original iirc . If it is smaller you would be getting a slight restriction .
When you say it is slower , is it...
Certainly sounds like the wonder wheels ( acid ) has got under the lacquer / paint . Every 3 - 4 is way too much , maybe just a one time application if nothing else would shift the brake dust .
Just a quick question sorta related to the viper / maxogen / other filter argument .
All these so called dogs b****cks filters are enclosed , to stop heat soak from the engine bay .
How come when you see the highly tuned Jap motors running silly bhp like 500 bhp or more they use the HKS...
Thats what i'd buy if i were gettin a filter and just make a heat shield or an enclosure . Same filter as in the carbon box but a few hundred quid cheaper , lol ,

To be quite honest mate i think thats a pretty good price for your age , but get loads and loads of quotes .
I've usually juggled bewteen Adrian Flux and ashbourne in the last couple of years .Theres a guy on here , i think he's called Nigel , he works for greenlight insurance ...
^^^ I agree , nothing wrong with 2 owners , 1 being pre reg , sometimes they register em to make it look like a sale , boosts their sales figures, aslo could have been a demo which ain't bad either . Check out out , if it looks ok , you like it , knock him down a few hundred quid and buy it :)
Try renaming it , then deleting it . The reason you might not be able to delete it is cos it doesn't actually look like its on your comp if that makes sense , like its already been deleted , the size 0 bytes .
Oh well half a result anyway :) You might as well see if they will do the shock while its in for the oil leak , never done one myself but from i've read on here its minutes of a job not hours .
Open the tailgate and look down towards the light . 2 black grommets , 1 either side of the car . Check the spare wheel well also , water sometimes runs into here as well .
Take out the grommets , put some silicone sealant in the holes , replace the grommets but don't put the tailgate down...
Plugs aren't scheduled to be changed until 72k miles . Although i think thats a bit optimistic . Had to get mine changed on my 172 at 30k miles .

lmfao at the freezer . Phone a Renault dealership , they will probably have the code on their system . If not you'll have to get it unlocked and recoded .
Clio front ends are solid as fcuk . I smacked my 172 into a crash barrier going round a bend at between 50 - 60 mph , there was alot of cosmetic damage , bumper , wing etc ..... but the car suffered no deformation , i'd say the cabin of a 172 / 182 is a pretty safe place to be if you have a...
