has a familial look of the recent lotus/vx220 ranges deffo

^yeah i thought that.

I have a Sony remote control, steering AND infra red! Just thought I'd use the OEM remote cos it's easier to use and looks better. Fubar is a legend, I've just read his guide on dash removal. Looks easy enough.

Cheers for that. That's what I was dreading. And no, didn't come with instructions. Is there an easier way???? In other words can I bodge it?

I bought this off a member on here, it's for my 172... (I've got a Sony stereo). Smartlead adaptor pc9-112 Renault with display to sony head unit. batch ref 3188. I thought it would hook up to my loom and then to the stereo, but it looks like this hooks up to the positive feed...

I had 4 passengers in my old e36 320i when I did my first controlled power oversteer,.. Was easier than I thought it would be and really predictable. I've never lift-off oversteered in my Clio. Anyone done this to good effect?

^it's not thieft insuance fella, it's warranty. It is worth knowing tho eh,.. I've been lucky with my N95 so far, but 18 months is a long old while!

What are your plans for it? Road/racer?

I can't even use the sun visor without blocking my view, but I am a big bast@rd. Peel it off, you know you wanna!!!;)

yeah what's with that stripe? Only midgets will be able to see out! Is that your e30 BMW in need of a polish?

dk = legend! Just ordered one of these to replace my trusty 4 yr old dell inspiron 1200. It's been doing my head in recently, and I was searching for a replacement, to no avail. Thanks a lot. Won't even be paying the VAT, so it's a steal at £280!!!

Ta dah!!! http://www.openoffice.org/ and http://www.abisource.com/ Oh and it's free. Damn you and your speedy fingers Griff!

^Headlights! Infuriating that mate. Mine has FSH etc, and I'm always on top of things mechanical and otherwise, but the first MOT was still a killer. Now it surprises cos I expect the worse

Took the 172 for it's MOT yesterday,.. 6yrs old with 80k under it's belt and it PASSED! When the garage rang I was shocked. The car's French AND has now passed 2 MOTs on the run. Anyone else been positively surprised?

why would you want a towing eye in place you muppets? Looks like your car has recently, or is in the habbit of breaking down!!! What's next?

Clarkson back in the day - Quality

Cheers Edde. The garage used a renault kit, and fitted new tensioners etc. Saw the old ones he'd removed, all looked ok to me. Would the replacement of the aux belt and/or tensioner be expensive? And would you not firstly suspect the water pump or alternator? Either way, I'll have to...

Major job to re-fit?

Cheers for that, but I'm not about to have the cam belt replaced again! What do I do, just throw money at replacement parts till it's quiet?!

http://video.google.co.uk/videoplay?docid=-6607492783452136804&hl=en-GB At my last service the mechanic (local indy) said there was a squeak from possibly the aux belt/alternator. Said it wasn't serious, but if it got worse to act. Now I'm just wondering if it could be the aux belt (the...

What's the power/engine compression like now?

FF 172 feb 2002 76k. engine still pulls like a big dog on a lead. Some people on here must use public transport more than their cars!

V.nice and quite rare in the rest of Europe. Nice scenery. Only saw a couple of Sports the whole time we drove in France, and just the one Megane 225 in Switzerland.

Excellent find Ralphy

yeah that's the fuel filler. The R4 is where it's at. Gear stick on the dashboard anyone? Honda Breadvan type-r copied Renault!!!!!!

I don't mind, I don't want to impress friends and colleagues who think it's just a clio. I think its charm is that it doesn't shout about it's power or have a boyracer image. I've had people trying to tell me that my tyres are flat, I've explained that's what a low profile tyre looks like...

30 years old! Don't see many old cars at all these days. Healthy supply of cars in the 2nd hand market I guess. My Dad used to have on of these, well he had a few actually:

I think it's generally accepted that the Renault Sport fellas over in Dieppe did a god job with the set up on the Sports handling wise. I think they acheived a fairly reasonable balance with the choice of 16" 45 profile. Apperance wise they suit the car, and in terms of turn in, tramlining etc...

i had 17s on my car when i bought it. For insurance reasons, and because i was getting chav admiration i opted for 16s. Turn in is better now
