Just out of interest what happened with this saga in the end?

Sorry to hear about all this mate, you must be gutted. Hope it works out HPI clear for you! Yeah, and make sure you use Brembos for maximum effect!

It's a lot cheaper to buy a new HD...

£5700 for a 182 in that condition with only 36k on the clock? I saw a Cat D for that price a few weeks ago... I would wonder at why it was so cheap. Unusually cheap. Did you have it HPI'd?

What made you rapidly go back to XP?

AVG is the worst of the major free anti-virus packages... no if's, no but's, it just is. Awful detection and just as bad cleaning, proved in tests by major AV review websites, and on machines i've cleaned before that had it on. Avast! is better, and provides higher overall system protection...

Thhey aren't great, and can cause large delays when clicking on the taskbar etc. Give them a miss, and just get a hold of Vista. :)

Did you buy a new HD and clone the old one?

You're a bloke, you don't count as beautiful. :p

Ahhh my paologies... turbo is already on there... should be in for a cheap remap for an extra 20-ish bhp or so then. :) And never mind the other half... put your foot down man. ;)

I just see buying brand new as a mugs game... you will lose a couple of k in the first few months of ownership, money thrown down the drain, and all for a lowly 1.2? if you wanted to keep the costs of ownership down you wouldn't be modding it or adding a turbo, which will drink fuel and be...

Why oh why do people buy new 1.2 Clios and then want to mod them... it's money wasted, and pointless exercise imo. Why didn't you just get a bit more of a powerful model?

Do you work for Renault? That sounded like some cheesy sales pitch... not biased at all eh? ;)

Mate that pic 2nd one down in the OP is 1MB, may need scaling down a bit. :)

I'm a 'driver' (I love the way you accentuated the word as though only 'real drivers' would choose Cups) and I chose a 182 FF with cup packs... I wouldn't change it for the world and i've been in a Cup several times. Hmm... as a daily driver would I rather have a car with cruise, climate, and...

Ahh sorry, I forgot to mention that the stereo i'll be doing it with will be a Parrot RK8200, not the Blaupunkt. http://www.parrot.com/uk/products/carstereos/parrotrk8200

I had just parked my own car next to the retail park and cinema in Crawley and was just crossing the road next to McDonalds/Pizza Hut when a Black Gold 182, the exact same as mine, drove past me and over the mini-roundabout... containing a damn cute looking blonde! Then turned right down a road...

Sorry id this sounds a bit of a stupid quesiton but I am utterly crap with all things electric and wiring and all that malarkey! Basically i'm jus twondering if it's possible to to wire up aftermarket stereo units to the steering volume/channel controls, as my current Blaupunkt one that i...

Nice car, im actually starting to like that yellow now.

Cruise has changed the way I commute... I use it 70% of the time now!

It's actually not my fault, it's a psychological condition. I was raised on Blackadder.

How can yours be so low too... do you drive very hard? Is that after a recent reset?

How can it be so low?

Yes, that would be the sensible option. Get fined again.

At the moment i'm averaging 35.5mpg on my daily commute (10 miles each way, busy B-roads, lots of stopping and starting in traffic)... whereas with my old Vectra 2.0 SRI it was just under 31mpg. I'm very impressed with the Clio! :D It's hardly going to rise 40% in two months!

LOL, it looks like he's run over a church organ! What a tool.

The very best free software is Avira... but it can be less user friendly.

Avast! has a better detection engine and better cleaning... AVG missed a crapload.

Can anyone suggest a decent handbrake gator for the CLio 182? It looks bare without one... a bit naff. Is the handbrake easy to replace if you want to replace it with a more tasteful one?

AVG free is crap, Avast! is much better.
