What garage was it?

I'm in Bristol too and had (sold it last week) a real nice 172 engine. Gutter. :(

I know hindsight is a wonderful thing, but i'd have sacked it off first time round. You only paid £1250 for it so even with a fubar'd engine you'd have got £500 for it on ebay. But nevermind, what doesn't kill us makes us stronger. :D

If I come round and take all of your clothes off, that may solve the problem?

Fred rang me about this as soon as you left his place. Glad its all sorted.

That is fcuking superb!!!!!!!

There's good money in that. If you bought it, tidied it up and advertised it for £2795, you'd sell it. Some chavvy girl would LOVE it.

Who painted your front bumper inserts?

Thats some big spacers!!

I used a razor blade bare (no actual handle or owt) and just scraped the seat. A stanley blade will also do but make sure whatever you use is brand new! Scrape in short motions and gather up all the fluff. Works a treat!

I just razor bladed a 172 drivers seat and it came up like new! Proper suprised!

Mine never EVER went above 28mpg. (Maybe 28.8 but that was it) Admitedly mine was brand new and I sold it with 4000 miles on it so it wasn't 'run in' but still, bad mpg's.

What is your reason for wanting a Zetec coil pack? I'm not up on ECU's so may be speaking out of turn but I sell a lot of renaults and a lot of fords and the fords are infinately worse with regards to coilpack reliability! lol.

As soon as my kids are a bit bigger, i'll be getting another. Fantastic cars imo. Great on track, cheap to run, built well (for a renault) and good spec. The only downside is the fuel. Its terrible for a warm hatch. If it was 230hp 2.0T I could understand it. As a family car though it will...

How is this thread any different to any of the other project threads you've made? Or any of the other marque threads you've started about what car you're getting next? Or any other thread that you've started for that matter?

''Giving it more air'' is not going to happen. Its a 1.2 mass produced engine so will suck in all the air it needs. You won't be able to give it any more than it already gets.

LOL!!

According to facebok he's just split up with his Mrs so that along with a brand new car thats shat its engine out, I expect he is now sat in a pub somewhere! lol.

Re: some options on these alloys!! Absolute horse s**t. Why the fcuk would you want them??

I don't mean to sound rude, but are you actually saying that that car has covered about 20,000 miles since 1996??

WTF is that? Looks awful.

That could take a week in itself. I can name 20 within a 5 mile radius without even thinking about it and bristol's a big place.

Why are you trying to argue with me when all you're doing is agreeing with me? All of what you just wrote is correct, so why complain about insurance when you are the very person that you are writing about?!

Because my desk was next to the service reception when I worked for renault, i've heard all sorts! lol.

Sounds to me like you had a cable opperated throttle before and now you have an electronically controlled one. It was a common complaint when I worked at renault and people came out of mk2 meganes and scenics and into the new shape ones. Basically, you need to adjust your driving style and...

I think thats my issue. You haven't actually done anything different to break any moulds. You've just done a load of cheap mods that have been around for years.

Its your choice, but i'd rather put my dick in a deep fat fryer than be seen in that. Looks absolutely terrible.

Looks like a standard W reg clio to me? :S And what is J euro? I am not down with the kids.

That blue tape that you've left on there would piss me off so much...

That bit of missing paint behind the bottom of the bonnet strut would piss me off so much.
