Hi all, long time no post. Just wondered if anyone can help me with what I hope is a rather simple problem. I'm having a problem with the brake lights on my clio (mk2, phase 2), here's what happens (I hope it makes sense!). With my headlights off: I brake and all three brake lights come...

Just had my 24k service done on my 172 and luckliy nothing needed doing so it "only" cost me £212. Thing is according to the service report my front tyres have 7mm tread left, rear 8mm tread left and the spare 8mm. Only problem is my spare tyre is actually one of my old front ones and I know...

Bad luck griff - bit of a p*sser that. :( Is it true that if you get caught twice in a very short period of time they will often only charge you once?

Hi :D

If its like the 172 wheels then the bolts are covered by a cap which you need a key to remove.

Just tried Sainsburys and they wont insure me because I keep my car on the road overnight. :(

I got my renewal quote through from Direct Line this morning and was very please to see it had gone down by almost £200 quid from last year. Even so Ive just phoned a few other companies up to make sure Im getting a good deal. What I dont understand is why my Direct Line quote is so much cheaper...

At least youve got a choice of plate - I was given **** WNK from Motorpoint. They even sniggered when they read it out to me on the phone. :(

Thanx everyone. I phoned the police seeing as its happened 3 times now and they were actually quite helpful - not thats theres a lot they can do - but at least Ive got a crime ref. number.

Quote: Originally posted by ian 172 on 31 July 2003 I think youve upset someone for them to keep coming back... Second time it happened I saw who did it - a kid no older than 9 or 10. It does feel personal but at the same time I cant really think why I wouldve upset anyone.

http://members.lycos.co.uk/jstratton/scratch.jpg This is now the third f**king time in 9 months and theyve done it good and proper this time, down all three panels on the drivers side! What the hell is wrong with people in this country that you cant park your own car outside your own house...

The only stuff I dont use is supermarket petrol because Ive been told its full of detergents and stuff. But this is probably rubbish as well.

Youre right about there not being much on there. :D

Colour coded the bumper and bonnet so u can see better how it looks... http://members.lycos.co.uk/thehype/cc_clio.gif

On the head I would imagine. ;)

Cheers mate, I was thinking there was probably a cheaper way of doing it.

Heres what it says in the leaflet I was given. Hope you can read it. http://members.lycos.co.uk/thehype/emservice.jpg

Ive just taken my mk2 172 in for its 12,000 service and they asked if I wanted an Emission Control Service" at the same time for an extra £24.99. Because Im so strapped for cash at the moment I said no but may have it done in the future. What do people reckon, is it worth having done? Has anyone...

Alternatively try someone like egg or Marks & Spencers for a loan. I haggled my APR with M&S down almost 2%. Plus they offer deferred payment loans so you can afford to borrow more as long as you can make a large final payment.

The first pic was photoshopped - this is how its really gonna look... http://members.lycos.co.uk/thehype/clioexhausts.jpg
