Noticed lately that my car is not starting very easily from cold. When the car is left for more than, say 2 hours, the engine needs to be turned over for about 5 seconds before it would fire up. And its usually accompanied by the smell of fuel (which is expected with difficult startups). Has...
Just did a bit of browsing, and come acros http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=9861&item=4540866557&rd=1THIS on eBay... looks rather tasty!
Im hooked on the wheels - looks like Im getting a set on my car!:)
First and foremost... hope all of you had a very merry Xmas!!
My car is due for its first MOT in January. Now.. Ive given it a quick once over and it all seems pretty well. BUT... I have 2 potential problems and I was wondering if they need seeing to before the MOT.
1) I have a stonechip on...
Recently started making regular long distance journeys (London - Liverpool) and have noticed that Im getting a howling noise above 70mph. Im not sure what it can be, but it may be possible that its due to the tyres (no sound at all below this speed). I didnt have these noises on the Toyos I had...
Well... this is one simple question.....
Bought 2002 Clio 172 a while back... got all the codes/ manuals/ paperwork/ reciepts/ certificates.....
WHERE THE HELL IS THE KEYPAD???
LOL!
Well... having a 172 and putting up with squeaks & rattles is the norm.

I normally use BP Ultimate (98 RON) or Shell Optimax (98 RON).
But Im getting a bit fed up of paying 90p per litre!!
Now I have discovered that Esso Super Unleaded (says 97 RON) sells for just 86p per litre here. Now... is it really worth paying more for Shell or BP?? Esso petrol is...
Im very close to buying a Clio 172 Mk 2 (51 reg 2001) for just £7000! Its been owned by 2 owners... once by son and now by mum. And looks pristine with only 24k miles! Now, the car has one prob... the front wheels (FOX Evo 3) are quite scuffed! But Im sure that its not a big problem- a quick...
Hello people!!
Straight to the point... I am in need of a car (approx £6500) and there arent many true hot hatches available at that price.
But trawling thru the AutoTrader, I have seen Clio 172s around at low mileage (30-50,000). Cars are built mostly in 2000.
Now the dilemma is this...
