Not far off the mark there, I have been offered 4.5k but with £300 off the car I want ! Plus mines due a timing belt change so if I do part x that could count as a £400 saving
Thats a nice car, but I'm looking at getting a 1.8T 20V Passat Sport, it has 14,500 miles on the clock on a 53 plate...
Have you tried fitting a pram in the boot, 16month daughter in the back, and the shopping from costco ??
The daughters legs will be round her head soon ?
F**k me I sound like an old man, maybe I should buy a honda accord:quiet:
Thinking about trading in my imaculate clio :( for something more family friendly with 4 doors blah blah :cry: :cry: :cry:
What would a fair trade in price be for a full fat 51 Reg Silver Clio 172 with 51k on clock ??
Or if there is any serious buyers in Newcastle area or else where, then...
I got a Ktec stealth direct from their website for £311 and fitted it myself using some ramps. Not too bad if you don't mind getting dirty. Exhaust is good quality stainless steel
The exhaust note is deep and loud during accelaration in any gear
How did the 197 not roll over, I couldn't go that sideways at an Ice rink. :eek: I was impressed by the williams as well, is the owner a member !?. I have entered the comp so watch this space :D
Apart from this feature I think the new format of 5th Gear is absolutely crap, hate that...
Car sailed through the partial MOT as it only failed in the first test for a failed hand brake on 1 wheel. People were right about the MOT date though can't be changed due to the new computer system ?
Went to garage and it doesn't look like the MOT cert will need to viewed for the insurance...
Guuuuttttted , I just pranged my pride and joy !:( :( :( :( .....:cry:
Stuck in the right hand lane going no where, so decided to move into the left hand lane once the traffic had cleared or do I thought when f**king white van came out of no where and bounced off the front corner of the car...
Has anyone got a part number for a drivers side hand brake cable for a 172 mk2 51reg !
I've had 3 now and none have been the right size, starting to develop a twitch now and I may turn nasty if I get another wrong one !!!!:evil:
Even better if you live in the Newcastle area and know of a...
Booked my car for its MOT yesterday and was given a bloody Hyundia Getz as a courstesy car !:clown:
It has to be said this thing corners like it is on marsh mellow springs and you have rev the tits off it to go anywhere !! But the worst thing is that the indicator stalk is on the otherside...
don't touch 'Stunner' because their not !! Everyone raves about Mich PE's but you 'd b lucky to get them for 50 quid. I chose Dunlop sp9000 for about 55 quid ish and I'm not disappointed.
Read the reviews on mytyres.com
I do put my problems down to in-experience of fitting the exhaust, but I would have been helped by an A4 sheet with simple photographic instructions and care points, like 'dont reverse over the exhaust paste'.
In summary the exhaust is of a high qaulity at nice price and does not rattle on the...
Finally got my new stealth exhaust on Friday so decided to fit it on Saturday using ramps...went quite smoothly apart from having to grind off the heavly rusted cat bolts and reversing over the brand new tube of exhaust paste !!!! :mad:
Got it started up and it sounded lovely, until I offered...

I'm waiting for delivery at the moment as they quite popular, I read the forums and the comments on this exhaust were positive.
Renault stealers wanted £180 for the mid section, £100 for the back box and then VAT after that F**k...

Getting mine very soon and plan to fit it myself by borrowing a couple of axle stands, could probably buy axle stands and it would still be cheaper than paying somebody to do ! Its not rocket science...
I've used this redex before, it seems everytime I use this the stop light flashes on and off intermittently. Have had this checked out by renault and they found nothing wrong.
Probably just coincidence.
Has anyone tried to replace the Gearbox Selector Seal on a Phase 2 172, with the little kit you can buy from renault, if so was it difficult ?
I can't be the only the 172 owner with leaky gearbox !
No I don't play football
I wish ! the money would be nice ! Think I play for some Scottish club now ! Think I will change to a nick name as your the 3rd person to mention that :D
