Recently ive noticed the car vibrating a bit at idle, like the exhaust is touching something, it comes and goes and seems worse on hot day. If i put my foot onto exhaust pipe the vibration goes away which tells me the exhaust may need dropping slightly as its rubbing against something. The car...

Just went to put stuff in my boot only to see this crack/split in my bumper. Absolutely gutted but i have no idea how it got there! No evidence of a shunt and can't remember even parking the car where it could have even happened. Anyone seen this before and how much would you say to repair...

nice! I am leaning towards cooksport, car seems to fit perfect on the pics i have seen. Some people find them a little harsh and some say they're fine but guess there is only one way to find out.

that looks perfect, were these the sportline as it looks lower than other pics i have seen?

All, In a few weeks time i want to get one of the above for a Daily 172, still don't mind if the rides a little harsh if it means getting a better ride height though. Show us what you got. Cheers

Thanks guys, I know clios are rattly but it does seem to vibrate a lot more than i remember my standard 172 cup ever did! On the plus side gear changes are beautiful and precise, i really couldn't believe how good the box felt when i first drove it, much better than some brand new cars i've...

The car currently using Evol Dogbone Mount which already feels like its already adding some vibrations low down, wasn't sure how much much worse the insert would make it as i use this as a daily. Cheers

Worth purchasing though?

Recently picked up a 172 fitted with febi top mounts which have only been on the car a couple of months. Has anyone used the yellow powerflex insert? How are the vibrations? Any feedback would be great. Cheers

Nice one mate, seemed a genuine car though, be interested to see what you do to it. What niggles were there?

Seen a number of classified ads mention a lumpy idle from cold as being normal/common issue. From your experience is this 'normal' and would you still buy one that suffers from it?

whenever i post anything someone always posts one in the for sale section! :)

Hoping 2.5k gets me something good!

Appears this car sold, only took a week. So do we think over priced still and someone has been ripped off or do you think prices have just risen of late as i can't seem to find many cheaper ones atm. I ask as i may just have to accept spending more the way the classifieds are looking!

Couldn't agree more!! The majority i see online would be considered as over priced buy members on here but im struggling to find anything cheaper? Are they just dearer now?

Going by what current up for sale the £2,800 actually seems reasonable? I can't seem to find any much better than this price wise and if i do it is because belts not been done, no serv history and poorly modded! One will come up though, patience is key

I cannot knock anything you just said, which is the very reason i didn't bother viewing it weekend but now its Monday, nothing else so here i am considering looking at overspending :)

haha, If i all else was positive then i'd try a good bit of haggling!

https://www.gumtree.com/p/renault/2003-03-renault-clio-renaultsport-172/1298230477 Still considering this car for sale, even though its quite over priced from what i gather. Previous owner is a member on here but not been online for quite some time. Anyone else know this car and/or its...

Looks nice, what what that issue could be from cold? Exhaust is way too much for me though, i imagine that being very loud. Will drop the seller a msg though, thanks for this mate

I have done a wanted thread but no luck still mate

Been trying mate, nothing come up just yet, I'll be patient. Suddenly im keen on a Monaco blue 172

I think you have put me off guys, not a bad thing, just exactly why i post on here. I'm not in a rush to purchase a 1*2 but its only a 30mile drive this one but appears over priced. £1,750 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/292558043180?ul_noapp=true

I had £1,500 in my head if the body was excellent, going by some comments on here though i should be looking to pay in between £1-1.5k

Do i see a 106 rallye as your profile pic! Love them

Just waiting on the belt info, i am supposed be hearing from them before 10am. So lets say, 12 months MOT, standard form 172, standard seats, wheels etc, zero mods, 130k with reasonably good body. With full or almost full history, including belts within last 2 years with proof. What do you...

Morning, Seen a few with this amount of miles of late, some of them still 100% standard examples to. Whats the most you would you pay for a 1*2 with this kind of mileage or would you just avoid? I will only be covering around 3k a year myself.

From memory that is exactly what is was when i looked underneath, at least i know its a one to avoid for me personally. Cheers

I read a few posts on here saying the same so a little concerned! I liked the sound once revving, on the move, but at idle it thought it was droney personally. I'll have to listen to a few more though. Felt great getting back in one though

Morning, Viewed a 182 yesterday and when i arrived i could see it had a scorpion exhaust. Although i liked the sound of it there is no way i could handle that on idle, 10 years ago maybe! At idle it was giving me a headache! So my question is, how loud it the Scorpion Exhaust in comparison to...
