Thanks to those who took it in the lighthearted way it was intended. I don't even own a Clio, why would I care what people call them! It was a tongue in cheek post.
Oh and I'm sure we have enough grammar police on here already, we don't need another. And as for the post above, I'm not sure...
Not the website of course, long may it live. I mean the use of the term 'Clio Sport'
It's just wrong. Either call it a 172, 182, 197, 200 etc or use Renault Sport Clio.
And yes, I realise Renault have released Clio Sport's before, but they aren't the same thing and not what they term 'Clio...
Sounds like every 197 I've ever seen or been in inc the one I owned for 2 years. They are all a lumpy and need to be heavily revved to get them moving.
When I rebuilt the ones on my R27 I just did all the seals, the pistons were fine. If they're off the car then just pop the pistons out, if they have any corrosion on the important bit then change them.
I did a full guide on rebuilding and painting a set, I'll see if I can dig it out. It has...
Everything (movies, sports, box sets etc), 2TB main box, 1 mini box. £35 a month and £10 install cost. 12 month contract and 12 month discount.
That's just for TV, my internet and phone is with Virgin Media. The package I'm on should be about £90 a month, oh and I was a new customer so that...
It's an N/A car, so the map will have made virtually no difference to top end performance. It will (hopefully) have made it a bit smoother throughout the rev range, but other than that it'll be the same as any other MK3 Clio 200
It's working fine for me. On the image I wanted to link I just clicked on the IMG box of the 'share this photo' section and pasted in in this reply.
To be honest, photobucket is crap anyway and you would be better off using flickr.
That's not really the case though. You can easily tell if you've prepped the surface properly with the first coat of primer. Most of the defects on the wifes car and on Ant1's M5 would have been visible well before any colour and lacquer was put on. There's just no excuse for it.
My wife's (no) car has had 2 repairs. Once for a rear quarter by Just Car clinics and the rear bumper by VW.
The rear quarter took them 3 attempts to get right and the rear bumper twice (and that was at a VW main dealer).
Both thankfully didn't cost us anything as they were insurance repairs...
You can get the Syma X5C for £40, which has a camera, but the quality is bad. I might have a video somewhere to show the quality I'll take a look now.
Edit - video below.
I've had the Syma X5C, but the camera quality is low, so if you are wanting it for that purpose then avoid it. You'll struggle to get anything with what you want for under £100 IMO.
Take a look at red 5 http://www.red5.co.uk/remote-control/drones.aspx they've got a decent range, also...
Probably best to elaborate on that comment.
IMO It would feel like a big backwards step going from a 6 year old Fiesta to a 10+ year old Clio.
Value for money wise - 100% I'm with you. A 1*2 makes perfect sense, however not everyone wants to be seen in a 10+ year old French tin can.
Edit...
All 197's should have had a cambelt change by now, and it's a job that needs doing properly. I'd be wanting a receipt from a reputable garage to be sure its been done right.
Gearboxes can go bad and crunch, although mine was fine on >70k, it depends how they are treated. Gearboxes can be picked...
I prefer the touch one personally.
I've had zero issues with either box or remotes since install a few weeks ago, no freezing etc that others seem to have been having. Seems like a really polished product (well compared to TiVo that really isn't hard!)
I went for a Plus this time round.
Speed, battery life, the instant Touch ID, 3D Touch.
Plenty of upgrades over the iPhone 6 IMO, that's without even looking at the camera improvements.
I'm not entirely sure yet, I've not had the first bill. I was on TiVo, phone and BB, but dropped the TiVo for Sky Q.
I'm expecting £30-40 for phone and BB
