    Vibration at 50mph

    Yeah someone's suggested balancing. Why would that just suddenly go awry tho? As for why did I choose it... well at the time, it was all I could afford that was that new and reasonably low mileage. Plus I fancied having something loud and brash. Unfortunately I've owned a BMW and been spoilt...

    am back after years!!

    I wouldn't worry mate. Screwed if you do, screwed if you don't. I have just returned to the fold after years away too, having just bought another Clio. I have regretted every second of moving from BMW to Renault, with all the grief I have had with the damn thing, and if you look on the site you...

    Vibration at 50mph

    Not completely but not nearly as bad below 40 or above 60. http://www.evanshalshaw.com/v2/used_car_details.htm?ref=IM^I^9VV^9YTO&typ=U&make=BMW&model=3%20Series&extra=Extra%20details%20i.e.%201.3%20LX%20hatch&max_price=4000 I think that before the year is out, the Clio may become the car I...

    Vibration at 50mph

    How much will that cost to rectify if it is that - roughly?

    Vibration at 50mph

    At first I thought I must have a flat. I was doing 50mph in 5th gear and there was a vibration coming thru the seat. The engine note seemed pure enough and I could not see or hear anything vibrating. However, I could feel a constant vibration in my legs and bum. What could it be? It wasn't the...

    mint orion!

    Don't you mean "minger"? FULLY MODIFIED COSWORTH STYLED ORION - it's the bit in bold I am questioning. Why do people think that the thousands they have spent on modifying their £200 car makes the car worth substantially more than £200? At the end of the day modifications are personal and do...

    Spotted black 172 in Hull

    And there's a pale blue 182 with Cup pack that belongs to Fireman Sam at Clough Road Fire Station. Not to mention the 172 Exclusive that I have that lives in Cott. Where in Cott are you Rob, cos I have never seen you?

    Spotted black 172 in Hull

    Eh... shurrup in yer face! The MX5 is terrific. I thought the 206cc and the Tigra cc were the hairdresser cars of the noughties.

    Oh dear. Looks ok from the side. But the back and the interior are dreadful!

    Starting problems

    Can I recommend you contact "topgear-hull" on this forum. Adam has just rectified exactly the same problem in my 2001 172 Exclusive. Cranking without firing combined with relays going etc shagged my battery as well in the end, so no cranking at all, never mind the firing. The business telephone...

    Thank f***. It's not the alternator. All sorted... for now...

    What are symptoms of a failed alternator on a 172?

    I sincerely hope so - Halfrauds sold me a battery yesterday for £99.99 which was too big to fit in the space. Nobs

    What are symptoms of a failed alternator on a 172?

    As if I haven't had enough problems, now via battery won't hold any charge. Had the wife come out and jump me off last night and drove around for 15 miles. This morning, nothing - I even locked car without alarm last night to conserve battery. The wife is going to get it sorted this morning if...

    No feed to fuel pump or coil pack

    Take him into A&E and just cause a stink. It's fine if you're a smack rat and you stumble in there having OD'd... but not if you're an innocent little kiddy. It might mean a bit of a wait, but do it anyway.

    how much is my car worth?

    Do you live in Moss-side or something? When I was 22, my 1.2 Dynamique cost £220 to insure full comp. At 25 I had a Cup full comp at £500 and now aged 29 (living in a terraced house, with no drive or garage and on street parking, in an HU postcode) I pay £300 full comp on a 172 with...

    No feed to fuel pump or coil pack

    Yeah, I've spoken to Adam via email - just wondered if anyone else had had similar problems. Don't want to seem like am pestering. Just interested to know what's happening etc... you know. As for your little 'un... what's the prob? As for the NHS and hospitals - you give em $h1t girl! But good...

    and so non-start. Believed to be a broken wire. All relays working. All fuses intact. Anyone had an experience similar?

    Fuel economy - or lack of

    Crikey. Do you rag it everywhere? I got 100 more than that in my old 2.5litre BMW and I get (when running) 400 from the same in my 172!
