    12k mk2 v6 in mars red

    Didn't go to the final bidder or a dealer, went to a chap who is likely to care for the car and look after it responsibly. Going to seriously miss vee ownership, but life must move on!!

    Ruined V6

    I agree that the boot looks out of alignment in the rear shot, but in the angle shot it looks normal?. I've never paid too much attention but the surround on the Renault badge on the boot is all black, not silver?

    People are w*****s.

    Unfortunately yes, as it's gone through to the base. Is that a new fog light as well? Careless b****rds.

    12k mk2 v6 in mars red

    Timewasters as in wanting a ride and not much else, silly offers as well. Yes the belt is overdue, but that is all that needs doing in terms of servicing. The new owner will at least then have piece of mind. It's reflected in the price. I must admit I'm suprised as a cat D one went for 12k...

    Iridium spark plugs

    Hi, They present no performance gains but last longer than standard plugs due to the tougher tips. In terms of value for money, it depends on your mileage really. Charlie.

    Vee owners - please learn how to park properly

    The sill is huge, the door has to open much wider otherwise you have to be pretty flexible to get in and out!

    Alternatives to iTunes

    Sonicstage is being shut down in a couple of months so don't use it. It was poo anyway. I use WMP for my walkman, had an ipod for 4 years (until it had a spin wash) but itunes was crap!

    V6 is gone! happy days!

    Cars are normally sold on an 'as is basis' so if it looks and runs okay, then off you go none the wiser. It's up to the buyer to do an HPI check. If I was buying ANY car of reasonable value i'd do an HPI check. But, the insurer needs to be informed that it is cat D! so buyer really must...

    Downloading Illegal Material

    Perhaps my view above was a bit 'opinionated' but what I will say is that would you still download for free if your internet connection was monitored? (in the same way a shop has a CCTV system). Some people will perform illegal acts if they can hide behind anonymosity.

    Downloading Illegal Material

    You're completely right, however there was a quality issue with tapes, recording radio 1 didn't quite have the same appeal as listening to the latest Now! compilation!!

    Downloading Illegal Material

    Is it pure theft to not pay for movies and music and to say any different is plain wrong. Say you spent a month producing a song and then everyone started sharing it for free, you'd be a bit p!55ed off!! It's completely rediculous to say movies, cd's, and music is expensive - it's their job...

    Cyclist Hit my car

    It's appalling that cyclists don't carry insurance. I drive and also use a cycle most days. I have cycle insurance through Cycleguard and it costs me over £60 per year. It covers me against any liability such as in the case highlighted above and insures my bike at replacement value. My...

    How much do Renault charge to gas the air con?

    You don't specifically need renault, i'd take a look in the yellow pages for a few quotes.

    mk2 v6 vs 182 cup

    Fair to say that absolutely. As i can't get any hard data, i'm making an assumption! I've always thought the Nissan 350z has a similar performance, but that's missing 0-100 as well.

    mk2 v6 vs 182 cup

    Agreed, although Evo don't have 0-100 for the aformentioned cars, they do have them for the trophy at 17.3 and the mk1 V6 at 17 and the Megane 230 at 16. The Golf R32 is 15.2, and the V6 is lighter than the R32 and is 182bhp/ton to 165. So i'd be inclined to put the V6 in the low 14s definately.

    mk2 v6 vs 182 cup

    Plastic add-ons?! fibreglass i think you'll find. I hate to say it, but a bit of research goes a long way. I'm in the process of repairing my power steering line, I removed all the trays under the car today; the work that has gone into the car is quite amazing when you take a look at what the...

    mk2 v6 vs 182 cup

    This thread is in danger of boiling over!! Some good comments have been raised, it's the xbox v ps3 for clio's! Factors to consider: performance, pacticality, looks, cost - everyone is different, if we all had the same opinion then we'd all be ford owners so lighten up! If cost is a...

    mk2 v6 vs 182 cup

    I've had my V6 for over two years and can safely say that it wasn't a mistake in getting one. Would it perform better than a 182 cup? In the right hands probably, but from the trackdays i've done each car has different qualities, i'd quite happily own both! The v6 when treated with respect is...

    V6 + 172 Cup S.J Cook and sons Bristol

    Yep it needed road testing, the mpg average was down a 'considerable' amount!!! I'm never been the complaining type, mainly because I can never see the point, I never get anywhere! Need an MOT soon, but i'm not paying £305 for front pads that I was quoted!! some Red Stuff will be my next...
