Anyone know of any other secrets on a normal clio and 182/172? So far ive heard of these.. Turning off the ultrasonics so you can leave the windows open (172/182) Turning off the auto wipers Turning off the auto lights Anything else out there?

Just tried to register again with the website, what an arse ache. They want to know everything about you, your car, your address, when your going to buy a new car and a million other things before you even get to the website which was dead anyway. Anyone else bothered doing the...

After thumbing through the renault mag last night i noticed that they have released 2 new coulours, Petrol blue and liquid yellow (I think it was called liquid) and a very posh looking beige interior as part of the ID scheme. Anyone seen these colours, (Is the yellow the same as Geoffs) and...

After having a mooch around a 225 megane yesterday, if they are going to stick the engine in the next gen clio would you prefer the 5 or 6 speed gbox?

One of my contractors has just told me he just saw a V6 get wasted in Camberley, someone pulled out of a junction and in the mayhem 2 or 3 others experienced smash time. Hope it wasnt anyone from here, sorry if your finding out a friend just crashed, but he said the fella was sitting on a...

When buying a new toyota, the other half got this handy little sheet of pre painted patches in various sizes for Stone chips etc. Maybe Renault should try it as its a damn sight easier that those fiddly kits from halfords

When and if you purchased your clio, when the dealer says "of course youve got your 3 year warranty (I think he mentioned it was 1 year manufac and 2 years dealer), did they mention you would have to cough up on any repairs in years 2 and 3? Bit naughty that they dont say you have to pay a %...

Which zorst from cat back gives the sexiest sound? Thinking about getting a new one for the 172, and want one that makes kids and women cry out of fear and men(And some ladies) nod with approval. Not that bothered about performance as it aint going to be much difference

Does anyone know what the score is with upgrading to a 182 if your on the reno finance scheme? I realise ill take a hit on the value of mine as ive only had it 6 months, but wondered if it was worth looking into

Can you buy this in shops or is it mail order only?

Right, got the silvervision bulbs yesterday and banged them in (Which look proper Bo). Powerbulbs kindly sent me some free side lights but for the life of me i cant get the connector off, any ideas??

Just a quick one, where is the best place to get the silver(?) indicator bulbs so i can get rid of my fried eggs and whats the part number?

What have you done to you clios to make them more personal? I dont mean huge bodykits or alloys, just the little things like new gear knobs etc. With the newer 172/182s etc, what are your plans as your not going to want to mash up the inside/outside of your new car to much?

As the reno blurb says the 182 tyres have a stiffer side wall, are they limited to Contis as replacements when they are worn out, or will other manufacturers be bringing out copies and will they fit a 172 as they are a little wider?

With the next version of the clio just round the corner, my dealer pointed out something that made me think. The new car will be built on the micra platform which is a lot smaller than the current clios, meaning the new one is going to be quite a small car. Are reno planning a mid range car...

Popped into the local dealers to chat about the passenger side rubbing sound on my car, got speaking and he tells me that he just bought his boy a 182. He mentioned that a difference between the two was that the 182 had VVT and the 172 didnt, is this right? I thought we poor cousins in the 172s...

As above, what are the differences between the releases?

How long do you allow your engine to warm up before you start giving it some? Do you go for it straight away, or do you give it 10 minutes? Just though id ask and see if it makes any difference.....

Where do you get these bumpers from and what is the system? Is this just another example of the options i keep hearing that our european cousins get?

In terms of performance and handling. If you were driving out on the road, there were no police and XXXX pulled up next to you. What would you like to see there??

I know that the figures put out by companys are approx, but are they posted from a brand new engine before being run in? If so does that mean a car would achieve quicker speeds in the real world in perfect conditions? If they are set on brand new engines, can you remove a few tenths from each...

Thought it would be good to start a thread for new owners as well as a reference thread for current owners who need advice. If everyone puts in a bit, we can have a decent guide to owning and running 172s, cups, willys, valvers and other models. Maybe if everyone buys into it, it could be pinned...

Anyone else find that the 172/Cup (might just be clios) throw up loads of water in the rain. Ive never owned a car that chucks up as much liquid, is it to do with the wide rear tyres or aerodynamics underneath?

Morning all, mt dad got a nice letter from renault yesterday inviting him to change his car. Included was the most recent price list for the range, and on the renaultsport collection was a Renault182 and........wait for it.........the 172 cup. Thought these were out of production or is it just...

Just been out for lunch, and what was in the pub carpark? A Blue, LAD conversion MK1 172. Dont much like the alloys, are they part of the package? Couldnt see the owner to ask about the work.......

Whilst raping the car about yesterday i noticed that when you get a bit of wheel spin that the ESP light flashes. Didnt have the ESP switched on and was wondering if the system automatically retards(heh heh) the wheel spin in 1st and 2nd (Like most TC)

What ever happened with the Brake Bias panic that went on about 6 weeks ago, ws it ever put to bed???

If i buy the 30mm drop springs from one of the websites, how easy are they to fit yourself? Once replaced(If you can do it yourself), do you need to re adjust the suspension at all, i wasnt sure if it would alter the Camber etc (Im making it up as i go along, dont have a clue when it comes to...
