My gearbox has crapped itself, or so I have been told by the garage.
Just wanted to check on here before I fork out for a replacement to be fitted if this is truely the issue. Horrible vibration noise under revs, although its fine in reverse. No noises though if decelerating whilst in gear and...
On the drive home tonight the clutch would "occasionally" slip, happened about 3 times on my journey home. Would slip at about 3k for a second or two.
I could then not get it to do it again by flooring it until the same thing randomly happened again a few mins later. Only 30k on the clutch...
After years of wanting one the time has come to actually get one, picking up my Monaco Blue 172 tomorrow.

Cam belt changed at 11k

Incredibly excited and looking forward to getting involved with some forum events/meets!
Looking around at some 172's and seen a few with 110k+ on the clock but have reasonable history and recent top end rebuild?
What are people's opinions on going for something like this?
Im looking at getting a Clio Sport but I'm only 19 and I will be paying a lot for insurance regardless but is there anywhere that is especially good for young people that are not on comparison sites where I wont get bent over so far or is it the same wherever I go?
Any young people out there...
Was driving home this morning when the engine temperature was then hovering just above the mid point (I'm fairly concious of the engine temperature as it went through a phase of suddenly dropping).
After 5 minutes of that it then started to shoot up just before I got home with warning...
When driving my car takes a while to get up to halfway on the temperature gauge as well as randomly taking a sudden drop in engine temperature. Car still seems to run fine but something must be going wrong?
2002 1.2 16v engine btw.
I have bought some alloys that I was told would fit my Clio, was quite a while ago and they were cheap so not complaining about that if they fit or not but. When I tried to fit them the centre hub would not reach the centre bore of the alloy wheel (even though it looks like it would fit) if that...
Well after my 02 Clio authentique got written off and i received £2,250 for it i have managed to track down this beauty and put a deposit on her ;)

£2,250 :D really please with what I got for the money.
Well i posted about a week ago with a picture of my crash and some thought it may be written off. Others not. Turns out it has been written off, The insurance have offered £2,100 for a 2002 clio authentique. Declined that and they are coming back with another offer tomrrow. Ill be looking to...
Was involved in a crash last night, not my fault before you ask. Somebody pulled out on me :(
Unsure as wether this will be a write off or not?
EDIT: Appolgies for poor picture
Okay after recently purchasing a new HP laptop that came with a recovery partition I have created a recovery disc using windows 7. What I am asking is the recovery disc a replacement for the partition. If so I will be able to format it and install Ubuntu on it?
Does anybody have a Windows vista installation disc they would be willing to lend. I have my own licence key but i was supplied with a recovery partition on my laptop which was useless when the hard drive failed. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Ive booted the latest Ubuntu OS off my memory stick and Ive been running it for a day and I am pretty impressed. Compared to how windows used to run on my laptop (as well as it being slower as reading from a memory stick)
What I would like to know is anyone who uses it how they find it in the...
I bought some alloys led to belive they would fit my clio, turns out the centre hole is to small to fit over the hub on my clio. Is there anything i can do to resolve this adapting? Or should i just sell them on again.
Whirring coming at the front end starting at 40mph and gradually getting louder, It's in a 1.2 8v Clio (2002) and is slowly driving me insane. And help on the issue?
Im thinking side strips gloss black and possibly the bumper inserts to. 02 1.2 Clio in silver :)
Is there anyone who would be willing to whip up something on photo shop or any know pictures of what this will look like.
Okay my 1.2 Clio is leaking a reasonable amount of oil considering it is only being sat stationary for about an hour. its from the front end of the engine and you can see where it is coming from on the underside, looks like some sort of plug (don't quote me). Any help on the issue and what I...
Been searching all around the comparison sites and ones that claim to give you a cheaper price as they are not on these sites but I cannot get a quote below 2k. This is with me and 2 parents on which bought the quotes down from near 3k. Are there any other insurers i may not of heard of etc...
Im a bit new to all of this, and i have done some searching but none of it really makes sense, anyway could somebody possibly post an explanation of Amplifier Gain as its of great confusion to me, apologies to all the GuRu's out there who think im an idiot ;)
