I haven't had one of these for a quite few years but would would you guys let me know what you think this Flame Red 127 Mk2 is worth:

Thanks in advance!

Can anyone tell me if there is any physical difference between the 65BHP and 82BHP clio diesel engine - or is it the ECU that gives it the hike?
Thanks.
Does anyone know if the interior trim has changed colour since the mk2 was released? I ask because I got hold of a steering wheel from an 04 mk2 172 and Im sure it looks black compared to my original one which is slightly blue - although it could be my imagination!
Thanks in advance...
Behind the drivers headlight are two A/C pipes that are clipped together by a bracket that is bolted to the body of the car. Mine bracket was missing the bolt and when I twanged the pipes I got the same rattling sound I occasionally get from the front suspension (I thought?) when turning...
Got may car back from HillPower this weekend and am now running the following setup:
HP IK with under bumper scoop only, Group N ECU, HP inlet manifold and PowerFlow exhaust....
Drove it for about 300 miles on Saturday night and the change is remarkable. The car seems to pull harder from...
I have noticed that my car is slightly lower on the drivers side, I know I drive the car 99% solo and that I am not the lightest person, coupled with the car being lowered but is this expected? I was thinking of swapping the rear suspension from L-R, but is this a good way to go?
I also...
.. and subsequently get aggressive when you werent the easy meat they thought you ought to be? Over the past two days Ive been subjected to psychopathic antics by an LS400 and Audi S8. A Jaguar LWB V12 (?) didnt like being overtaken but after a little tailgating (from him) settled down...
Ive now got:
1 x set of 172 OEM springs done 5k
1 x Airbox, OEM done with a nearly new OE filter
1 x cat back 172 twin cat exhaust done 1k - changed under warranty
With the car being now out of warranty :@, should I keep them or sell em or would they be of use to anyone....just your...
Well, thats the situation. Im aware that the cat is about £800 - based upon people paying £200ish @ a 20% contribution.... What should I do? A de-cat would be the cheapest option but there is the problem of the "post" lambda sensor - isnt there? Ive also got the twin cat exhaust.... Spoke...
Noticed a small smear of oil from around the area of the plastic blanking cap (camshaft?) on the RHS of the engine when facing the front of the car. It looks like it might have got there from the rocker cover gasket (?)....Anyone else had this...did a search and found a Capn Slarty response...
Off the line you know what happened - however...
Between around 90-!20/!35 with the CBR restricted to 5th gear it was pretty evenly matched......except on the bends where his commitment wavered due to experience.....
My rear pads are worn out and are making noise and I was thinkng about doing it myself as I dont reckon I will be able to get anyone else to do it - I know its not a big job but how exactly do I do it.

Took my car back to Renault London West as a new dent and overspray occurred while it was with them for an insurance job. There was some debate about the dent but while that took place the guy noticed dirt under the original paintwork and reckoned the whole lot will get sorted out under...

Had some spacers fitted to my mk2 by HP and now find that the grip is back!
Now running on AVO springs at the front giving a 35mm drop and AVO springs at the rear with two rubber spacers giving a 25mm drop.
Previously when just lowered, the rear had a tendency to come round - in a controlled...
Someone I know :oops: got caught yesterday for speeding 34mph :cry: above the limit in a Clio. The occifer concerned issued a £60 fixed penalty notice and alluded to the fact that a few more mph was ban territory. I thought that 30mph+ above the speed limit was an autobahn(!). Anyone know for...

Ive been using these for a couple of days now....
I find that the ride is now smoother and quieter - bear in mind I m on AVO springs. The car doesnt seemed to be as affected by camber changes and longitudinal ruts. The back now comes around markedly in comparison to the Contis and makes for...

Just back from PE sooo....
HP IK (inc. twin scoops) and exhaust 122ATW 141lb/166ATFW
HP IK, exhaust and fuelling 140ATW 154lb/174ATFW
On the first run, I did see the ATW figure drop from 129 so even using that higher figure as a bench mark, the HP mods...

I cant seem to get hold of any Contis and Michelin - has anyone had the same problem

Does the 172 have any suspension adjustment for the rear, i.e. is a 4wheel alignment actually doing anything. I ask because a tyre place said there wasnt....

I have noticed that when flat out, my passengers keep telling me about a noise they hear - it sounds to me like the tyres hitting transverse ridges on the road. It only seems noticeable between 130-140. I dont see how the dealer can help me with this. Any clues?
