Ok, feel as though I need to clarify a few things after reading your comments so far!!! I already have a diesel, its a 150PS Astra SRI, which I hoped would give me a good compromise between performance and economy. The thing is, it just is NOT me!! Yeah, its ok on the motorway but the...

As above really!! Which would you all go for? Bare in mind I do 50/50 motorway driving and cover approx 350 miles per week. Which is supposed to be more 'liveable' with?? I know theyre both fun on the twistys but which would be better on the motorway, MPG etc?? ta

Re: SHOULD I GET ANOTHER CLIO 197?? RUNNING COSTS!! Sorry if I didnt!!! Ok well, the main things I want are something fun to drive, as I spend so long in the car. A car that I have the urge to look after, clean, pollish etc. Something I can really enjoy, rather than just something that...

Its come down to Clio 182, 197, Focus ST or Golf GTI, which one would you lot go for (without being biased)?!? Ive heard the Golf is quite good on fuel, however, more expensive to buy. Im edging towards another 197 or Focus ST!! The idea of a weekend car would be great, but I cant really...

Re: SHOULD I GET ANOTHER CLIO 197?? RUNNING COSTS!! I cant actually remember!! Mine was a '56' plate, pre gearbox change, did the change make much of a difference in economy?? I loved driving it, and would love another I just wanted to find out what people were averaging!!

Hi Guys I was on here a year or so ago now. I used to have a RB 197 but changed it for a diesel due to work commitments. Now I still have the same work commitments but im bored of driving around in my diesel Astra and am seriously concidering getting back into a 197!! My job involves alot...

Do you mind me asking how much you paid?

agreed!!!!

I understand that and couldnt agree more but would you pay an extra £1000 for the privilege?? Its driving me mad. The cars in question are on autotrader, they both have similar specs, ie metallic, cabasse etc but one has xenons and I guess that also means auto lights and wipers from memory!!

of course there is, what else would you call it?? It was a non cup so I always though that would be classed as a Full Fat? Ah well........... I traded in the 197 for a diesel as I was doing more mileage etc but im now desperate for another!!

Hi guys Ive been away for awhile, having previously owned a FF172 and then a FF197 I traded in for a diesel and now im sooo fed up of the noise and smell and general lack of excitement that im coming back!!! BUT.... heres the thing, I can get a nice low mileage 197 without xenons for...

Ive owned both (172 FF and 197 FF) and im looking into getting another 1*2. Much more involved drive imo!!

thanks. £270 seems like a good price from Renault! Is it adviseable to have ot done before 72k?

the car ive been looking at is a 2004 '53' and has done 52000. Is that too many?

Hi guys, im after some advice!! Im looking into getting a 1.2 dynamique for my girlfriend. Ive had one myself years ago and think theyre good for what they are. I need advice on: 1. what is classed as 'high' mileage 2. when does cambelt need changing 3. how much for the cambelt changing...

Its a carerra 2 (non 4wd)

Ive just had 4 SP SPORT MAXX fitted on my 197 and they seem ok, nothing special! Wear rate is alot faster than the Conti's and they are made in Japan

mummys boy?:rasp:

Im 24 with 1 year NCB and pay £95 per month. Its registered in my name and is my policy. Thats with Privilege!

Hi mate, ive just bid on your mats.... is there any chance you'd end the auction early for a price? Say £40.00? Cheers Tom

i bought a 720 yesterday after my 510 died!! Got it for £180.00 good piece of kit!

that looks awesome mate!! I still miss my 172!

STAY WELL AWAY!!!! Iv had 5, yes 5 6500 slides and every one has crashed/broken!! They keep replacing them and it happens again!!! Iv bought myself an E51 now!!

agreed, I do mine at leat once a week and always make sure the wheels are shiney!!

that looks f**king horrible!!! It really annoys me!!!

Can I ask......... how did you paint the calipers and still retain the 'Brembo' writing?? My calipers have lost their colour and need a repaint!!

I get on average 25 MPG per week. I reset the clock at the end of each week! The max ive had was 32 MPG on Mother's day with my mum in the car, lol!! I dont care though, I love the car!! On my 3rd set of tyres too!!!

Sorry guys, BUT whatever you say, Lexus style lights on non IS200/300's look absolutley gash IMO!! Only my oppinion but thats that!! Yes, I do think they look chavish and usually the cars you find them on also have crap alloys, dustbin lid exhausts and max power stickers!!! LoL! Sorry if that...

jesus!!! why would anyone put those on a car?? I f**king hate clear rear light clusters they look so chavish!!!
