Well its about time they opened their eyes . Labour rates are f*ckin extortionate , its not as if the parts are that expensive and they could easily charge competitive prices and still make money . No wonder people go elsewhere . MrBillyUK !

It gets better ! Wait until your 72k service with cambelt and spark plugs ,lol . Its about £450 just for the cambelt at Sunwin Renault Preston MrBillyUK !

Thats the way it goes though , sad but true . Some people want the convenience of a quick deal , part ex for new .So they have you by the short and curlies and give you well below the market value . Thats how they make their money :( Privates sellings the way to go , but once your cars gone it...

^^^^^ Your right mate . Some people haven't got a clue , some are priced miles under . Always price it a couple of hundred over and be prepared for the haggle , price it under and your giving it away . Alot of people say that the new rs clio will affect the price of 172's / 182's but imo i...

And how much would you expect to get for it on your forecourt ?? MrBillyUK !

What exhaust and filter you got on ? So if you get an unlocked one you can just do a straight swap with your standard ecu and it just locks itself again to your car ? Did you tell your insurance about it ? Can Renault not f*ck it up if they have to reset your ecu ? Lots of questions...

Powerflow in Burnley are sh*t hot . Made me a 172 cat back stainless and fitted in 90 mins , £270 :) They have franchises throughout the UK , one in Warrington but obviously don't know how good they are . I'm guessin they have to be of a high standard or they would lose their franchise ...

Just fitted some silver visions today ! Looks miles better than the standard orange ones , but what a b*stard to fit :( You need the hands the size of a small child , fiddly as f*ck to get the offside one in , i dropped the bulb and holder into the engine bay and didn't think i was gonna...

Not sure mate . From what i've read on here after market airfilters / induction kits give no extra performance gains or very little , i guess its the same for exhausts , more noise than actual power gains . Probably smooths out the power curve a little and it raises the rev limit to...

6.5K If your lucky ^^^^^^^ I was offered 4k for a mint 51 plate 172 ff , got £5900 for it private :) Part exin on a new car they will offer you silly low prices for yours . MrBillyUK !

More about grp n ecu's . http://www.bbperformancetuning.co.uk/Products/Default.asp?type=dept&DepartmentID=7968 MrBillyUK !

According the Renault service book . On your first service for a 182 ,12,000miles of 12 months whichever comes first . Oil and filter . Pollen ( cabin ) filter . Check body work . Check all fluids. Visual check of brakes . Windscreen wipers All the usual stuff . Air filter is supposed...

R-jay paid about 3 - 4 quid a litre for sonax , my local vauxhall stealers charges £6.37 for 500ml ffs :( MrBillyUK !

If your worried about using wonder wheels you could always dilute it with water . I got some stuff off ebay quite while ago , Astonish alloy wheel cleaner , shifts sh*t really well , cleaned all the baked on sh*t on my brake calipers before i wire brushed em for painting . The sh*t...

Seeing that your supplying your own parts , have a word about knocking at least the VAT off , they dont need to put it through their books if its just for labour ;) MrBillyUK !

How come you've got no warranty ?? Sumarise ! On an 04 plate you should have some of the 3 year manufacturers warranty remmaining . MrBillyUK !

They look a bit sh*t in the pic , i saw some today in Halfrauds , high gloss black , looked mint :) MrBillyUK !

What about these ?? Would look good on your car imo :) http://www.nicenewcar.co.uk/parts/part-2110.html MrBillyUK !

As far as i know 172 and 182's are the same . MrBillyUK !

How sh*te is that . If you get a 3 year warranty and the engine goes titups they should be obliged to give you a courtesy car imo . A woman was driving past me oneday and saw me gettin' out of my old 172 , she pulled over and told me that her 172 cambelt had snapped on 8k . Hope ya get it...

According to the latest Evo mag it says 2390 cups were made before the 182 was brought out ! Theres a few pages on buying a 172 . MrBillyUK !

You'll be alright mate . Its only used for marketing purposes , checkin' on pay per view stuff etc .... MrBillyUK !

White wheels look mint mate , probably be a biatch to keep clean , plenty of ag super resin polish on em to protect em . MrBillyUK !

Yeah too much like a pug 206 in shape , lots of car manufacturers make cars similar shapes , at least the mk2 clio looks like nothin' else out there , probably rattles like no other car out there , lmao ;) Still love it though :) MrBillyUK !

Took me a while to find it ,lol ;) Here ya go : How do I become a ClioSport Member? In your Users Control Panel (UserCP) you will find an item at the bottom left of your screen in the Miscellaneous section named Paid Subscriptions, in there you will find a ClioSport Membership...

Alright mate . My last car was a mk2 172 and covered 48k miles in 4 years with no real problems , yeah they rattle a bit but like ya say its French . I've just got myself a new full fat 182 with cup packs and i have to say it handles alot better than my 172 did even though the 172 was pretty...

On my old 172 i had a replacement front bumper after an argument with a motorway crash barrier that i lost ,lol . In the pic you can see that they sprayed all the front even where the arrows are pointing that is normally left black unpainted plastic . I would say theres a fair old chance that...

Theres alot of keys on ebay mate and something to recode your key . Worth a try maybe ?? http://search.ebay.co.uk/search/search.dll?from=R40&satitle=renault+key http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=4614845423&fromMakeTrack=true...

Some cheaper ones here . http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/PHILIPS-SILVER-VISION-INDICATOR-BULBS-PRICE-PER-PAIR_W0QQitemZ8039909328QQcategoryZ72233QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem#ebayphotohosting MrBillyUK !

Very strange . Like ya say , better off checkin the dipstick rather than goin off the oil level lights . If you've left half a litre in the can you've only put in 4.5 litres , but it should still show 000_ _ at least . Might need another 250mls ?? Not sure were the sensor is ! MrBillyUK !
