Pointless?
It weighed 20kg less but more to the point was over £2k cheaper!
I know someone who bought one new for £10,500.
The seats really let it down thou.
I think these are the prices you should adverise at but expect not to get quite that asking price as ever:
2005 (05) Clio 182 - Arctic Blue, 64k, FSH, Both cup packs, 1 owner £7,999
2001 (51) Clio 172 - Mars Red, 54k, FSH, 2 owners £6,499
2004 (54) Meg 225 - Inferno, 3-door, lux pack...
Dom,
this is obviously the wrong section to post this but have a look in the guide section, there is a full guide on how to do this.
Also do a forum search.
Price is about right. I'd say between £7-7.5k is right, just depends on how quick you want to sell.
£7k for quick sale or wait out for £7.5k.
I have seen this car in the metal and I know its 100% mint!
I went from a 182 cup to a ph1 172 and im not regretting it. You really have to look around for a good one though.
Mine is certainly faster than my 182 due to it having some work done but it does not handle nearly as well as my cup did.
Im hoping a set of sportlines will sort that out.
I...
I met a guy from here who had a ph1 172 it had done 177,000 miles! and still running well! It was still running on orginal internals although pretty much everything else had been done at least twice ie cambelt and shocks!
FYI - it was also running an lpg conversion!
If its a racing cat then it should pass MOT. If its a straight through pipe then it wont.
It will be hard to get hold of one at short notice. Try get one from a breackers.
You obviously not been shopping for 182 recently have you?
I bought a mint 05 reg 182 with 21k on the clock for £7k.
I think you could buy a 182 for just over £6k now if you really look and argue price. Also with much less than 55k!
P.S. - 197 FTW
I wounldn't have thought hydro forming costs that much on an industrial scale.
I think the time to weld all the pipes together would be the most time consuming and expensive. The 182 mani is made up of like 20 different pices, must have cost reno a fortune to make.
I use to have a 1.2 Corsa I know its a different car but its still a 1.2.
I could not for the love of god get it to do more than 39 mpg. Most times I would see 36-37 and that was real carful driving.
Dont forget in cold weather you will lose mpg.
All my other electrics seems fine. ALthough it looks like its still running on orginal battery as its a Renault one. I should prob change it ASAP TBH.
I still think its giving a good charge thou.
HI,
Came t0 my car this m0rning and it w0nt start. All I get is a big click s0und when I turn the key. Checked all fuses and they seem 0k.
N0 warning lights have flashed 0n my dash b0ard, it just w0nt turn 0ver! its the first time its ever happend.
Trip c0mputer seems t0 w0rk 0k.
All ther...
Dont forget stripping the interior is free! I heard every 10kg loss will gain you 1bhp per tonne.
I think a re-map and matched inlets will give you an edge. (+10 bhp)
Ye the Ph1 steering wheels are made of rice paper or something! Saying that they do feel lovely and soft.
Can anyone point me in the direction of someone who re-furbs steering wheels?
thanks
So really they are saying the clio is a more focused/track car. I like that!
Seems that everyone who drives the 197 says it feels slow. Is this because its quite a nice ride or something?
Just serviced mine my self yestersday.
Fully synthetic oil, oil filter, air filter, gear box oil and new copper washers came to £59.
I kept all recipts for proof.
