Hi guys I'm looking at a new car and considering trading in my old car against it. So the question is, how much to sell privately and how much to trade in? Clio 172 cup 2003 95,000 miles Standard except Eibach springs Belts done at 50,000 Thanks

Check the connection for bulb in reg plate. Mine was slightly corroded, bit on sandpaper an good as new

Cheers

Any idea what the difference is apart from looks, i.e. spring rate and length?

As the title says, are they the same? Looking to go back to standard as the Eibach springs are an issue when getting warrantee on OEM dampers ( whic lasted 5months and less than 5k)

Didn't see your number plate, tho you do have N/S head light that's out. Thanks for letting me out the car park :) Pole Park rd to Muirhead

Get Goodyear F1 gsd2 if you can, they apparently stopped making them recently but can still get them, I just got 4 for £333.30 full fitted fr 195/45/16 from national tyres.

Ditto, got mine from G172, good price, quick delivery.

Agree with Ghm, put someone older with no accidents as an occasional named driver and it does help. I've been driving for 12 yrs now used to put mum on it, now she's older it doesn't help so I put my b/f on it now and still saves some pennies. tho if I got a £3k quote I'd get a bus pass until I...

My bf's phone not worked until this morning, full signal but couldnt txt or phone. My iPhone been fine throughout thou don't know about 3G cos at home on wifi. Real shame that people's life's come to a stand still cos of a mobile phone <sarcasm> (not including business relating problems of...

Agree you have to re-apply Rainx monthly if it rains a lot. Might try something else mentioned on here

Whats the price tag on that one?

Been there done that!

Used to be with virgin and didn't have any problems (non cabled area) UNTIL we moved house, literally 10mims down the road. They said we couldn't keep the package we were on and had to pay more! Help desk useless! So, I asked if a new contact would be started, "no we'll just add to ur existing...

Tried this? It's great, especially due to the weather we've been having up here recently. Can't believe how much better it works than any other (cheaper) brands I've tried. Worth the price tag for such a wee bottle

We both have clio's, me the 172cup and him ph1 172, I prefer mine as he has lowered his and not that comfy on the crappy roads round here. I bought mines first and he drove it and not long after he had to have one too. We love them and feel a little upset that one day they'll die (little...

When I ditched my car when oncoming vehicle barged me off road (no he didn't stop) I had to do it on a budget, bought bits off eBay new and second hand and got small local sprayer to do them for me and fitted them myself. Still cost a small fortune I'm afraid to say, bumper, fog and head...

I am female, "of a certain age", and live in decent post code and been driving for 12 yrs :)

Last 4 yrs my cup has been insured with Adrian Flux, Aviva and Quote me Happy this yr £247 :)

What is the point in cosmetically altering your car to look garish, especially when it is a 1.whatever! Save the cash and buy something with a bit more grunt!

I've used Coatech,in carnoustie) for silver and black wheels, v impressed.

My 172 cup is called Victor as it has a V in number plate and saying it over the phone I always have to repeat it Our 172 is the wee black basterd, yes it's black Westfield is called Wester or Westy Peugeot 106 is Pug Micra is piece of s**t :)

That's the one I printed and took to MOTer, I'll have to print it again and keep somewhere safe!

I've had a look on VOSA and their "special notes" section only goes back to 2008, pretty sure it was it that section but obviously an older year Looks like it was Feb 2006 as that is the old link that doesn't seem to be working

Had the same problem. Failed a couple of years ago as he said load sensor missing a part, according to VOSA the cup doesn't have this part and there is a specific page in the MOT tester guide that shows a pic of the cup and tells them to ignore it. (can't find the page online tho?) More...

I have a cup and my other half has a 172. 172 + air con, more comfortable seats, more comfortable ride (before he dropped it), cheaper tyres, better accelerator feel (cable), cheaper to buy. 172 - lights are crap even with brighter bulbs, dash and colour coding horrid (tho you can swap all...

I used them a few years ago as they were best price by £100 ish. Tried them every yr since and usually £100 more than current providers (Aviva + quote me happy) 30yrs old, female, standard 172cup, 10,000 miles per yr including commuting just paid £247! :) I've also got my b/f on my insurance...

Yip I agree, I got these for road use only and reasonably priced too

Forgot to say new XS Is only £50! Probably due to my age ;(

I'm with Aviva through an independent broker last yr and renewal was £260 with £350 XS and they say only 5 yrs NCD, thought it should be more but nevermind. This yr tried quote me happy and got £220 for Clio 172 cup without breakdown etc and no mods. Took it and seems ok so far, they have an APP...
