    Whatever happened to Chris Harris' BG V6 with full leather interior?

    I was just thinking back, and remembered that Chris Harris had a Black Gold Mk2 V6 as an Autocar Long termer a while ago. Now the main difference was it had a full cream leather interior - a £1500 option IIRC. Not seen it anywhere since, so i wonder if it went on to be a renault UK car, or if...

    How gorgeous is this Vee?

    For me, the addition of those 18" Compomotives makes the V6 look a million times better... http://www.rims-cars.co.uk/RIMSStock/10.htm I want!!!!!

    Steering 'clunking' noise? WTF?

    Okay, so over the last couple of days my steering has developed a 'clunk' when you turn the wheel when stationary, left to right. You can also feel a 'jump' when you turn onto full lock in reverse/1st as you move off, as if something isn't right with the front sus. I can't get under the car to...

    LHS Headlight washer jet?

    Anyone know how much one of these would be from Renault? Some prick has reversed into my car in a car park and driven off. Luckily the paintwork stuff will polish out, but they ripped off the washer jet while they were at it. I'm guessing its a bumper off job to refit as well. w*****s.

    197 Renaultsport stickers on my Monaco 172?

    Okay, these aren't the ones in the group buy, but these ones: I'm thinking of getting a set in silver to go with the new style badges on the back. Just updates the car a little, i feel. So what do people think? will they look good? I may do a litttle photochop...

    Does anyone have any info on this Ph1 Flamer?

    White V6? Hmmmm....

    I'm looking for a project, and the thought has crossed my mind (after seeing the current crop of white Clios popping up), that i've never seen anyone do it to a V6. The way i see it is, pick up a Ph1 V6 (c£10k), then spend £1k on some nice anthracite compomotive 6-spokes, and a further £1.5k on...

    Rain sensing wipers - can i stop them doing it?

    As the thread says - i think they're fecking useless. I'd rather just have them on intermittent and set the speed myself using the rotary selector on the stalk... Mk2 172ff FYI... thanks all...

    Spotted you this morning on the way into work, around 8:50. I was a few cars back all the way down in the really irritatingly slow traffic. Cliosport sticker in the back window... I was in the noisy Monaco Blue 172... (thanks K-tec...lol)

    The noise from my K-Tec Stealth...

    Okay, so i've got a good 1000 miles on my Stealth now so its bedded in and coked up like a good 'un. The noise it makes it awesome, nice and bassy, with a wicked rasp when it runs through the revs. Not too noisy either, just sporty enough. The problem i have is that there is a metallic...

    Wierd buzzing noise from grille near interior light....

    My 172 has started making a wierd buzzing noise, almost like interference, from the little grille just ahead of the interior lights when the engine is started. Does anyone know what this is? Its kinda irritating and appears to be getting louder. Don't want to take it to the local Stealer as...

    K-Tec stealth exhaust

    Does anyone have one on their car? http://www.k-tecracing.com/show_product.asp?id=1088 Any idea how loud it is, does it resonate etc? I want a little more fruity noise, but not too loud. As i may want to sell at some point i also don't want to cut the bumper, or have the exhaust sitting below...
