It is apparently ver common, what makes it even funnier is that my reg **02 *** comes up as a 1998 - 1999 1.2 Clio - a car that cannont legally have that number plate.

7 - . easy to mistake.

Greenlight was very good for me. Mods - Alloys, lowered, brembo 4 pots and big discs. All for £250 cheaper than tescos and directline who were the next cheapest.

You also need the xenon charging units, bolt on to the back of the headlight unit. I think the cost from renault is £350 +vat each for these but Im not sure.

Are you sure that was for a 172, sainsburys site when I entered my reg came up with a 1.2 clio. [Edited by black-cat on 27 May 2004 at 12:56pm]

Was that Lotus Carlton re-shelled? as I cant believe the roofline and sill was straightened.

I believe the 182 does have a "knock" sensor, although I am not to sure if the ECU programming is such as to take full advantage of optimax by advancing the ignition timing to the extent required. It does amaze me however how many people are unwilling to spend the extra few pence to better...

Is there any way we can find the build date of the cars that have gone up in flames so far, as it cant be a coincidence if they were built around the same time. i.e. Could there be a batch of dodgy wiring looms?

I beginning to think I was lucky as mine arrived almost perfect. Cant quite understand how the couriers managed to damage other peoples, must have had fragile written on it a hundred times.

Blackwood, work in Cardiff.

I got mine today as well. Willl fit it next weekend.

Dialling back the pistons on mine took it up to seven clicks on the handbrake. Would have failed the mot next year unless I adjusted it.

Changing the backs aint as easy as in the pictures (but you didnt ask about the backs), but the fronts are that simple. For the backs if you dial the pistons back as shown in the pictures you mess up you hand-brake. To remedy this you have to get under the car and adjust the handbrake adjuster...

I seem to remember that the cup was also advertised as having a stiffer sidewall tyre, but I dont think there was a difference between their contis and the contis on my meagre 172.

That problem with online insurance quotes is quite common. My 172 also comes up as a 97-99 1.2 clio. I talked to one guy who works for an insurance company and he said problems like that are caused when a garage pencils a reg for one car then assigns it to a different car, sounded very dodgy to...

If it was the same car tested, they fitted the kit in under 41 minutes, so it must be quite easy to do!!

Ive heard different reports from different people. A friend of mine has a small dent on his z3 and the repair guy was from dent devils and used a vacuum pump to pull it out. The guy I called lived very close to me, when I phoned hinm up he explained that he fitted private jobs in between...

Had one dint, called out a dent repair specialist. £40 later, dint is no more. Got loads of light scratchs on front bumper from combination of lazy paperboys and country lane driving.

Hi, Does anyone know the total amount of brake fluid needed to do a full bleed on a mk2 172.

Try ringing up motorsportsworld, 01357 529291. They dont list the B&M for a 172, but Im sure they can still get the part for you. theyve got the quickshift for the clio 16v 91-95 for £165 including vat, p&p of £9.

Greenlight (Cliosport insurance) - £650 Adrian Flux- £659 Admiral - £808 Directline - £869 Tesco - £890 Renault - £990 With mods (non standard alloys, lowering springs, brembo 4 pots +big discs), 3 yr NCD.

Ive also seen the pics of the early samples (they were sold off by k-tec), the "stripes" is the effect you get with the carbon fibre weave within the clear resin and will be on the new ones. The new ones will apparently be of better quality (the original samples from a british company had some...

I emailed dave a week or so ago and he said he is expecting the first drop of ten splitters in mid to late may, said to keep a lookout on the site as the moment they arrives they will be moved from the development to the "new" section.

You can buy a good example of a second hand 172 now for £9000 - £10000, in two years time youll probable get £6000 back when you sell. If you buy a 182 now youll be lucky to buy one for under £13000, and when you sell it in two years time youll only get around £9000 for it. Either way youll lose...

Thanks Edde, Ill try ringing up tescos and asking them (I may try it a few times on separate days as there is a huge variation between what the operators have told me in the past). Im hoping the second car insurance will be around £300-£500 per year, as I would like it fully comp. However the...

Does anyone have a weekend car, if so do you have it insured with the main insurance brokers tesco, directline etc or have you gone to a specialist broker / firm. Im tempted to buy a second car, just for a bit of fun on the weekend. Ive gone on most of the online quotation sites, but they dont...

There is a place in Cardiff that electro-plates wheels. On Newport road by the car-wash (i think its between the mothercare and the pcworld sites).

Some bugger put a small dent in my rear 3/4 panel last week, I have phoned up a local mobile dent repair guy. He has said that as long as the paint is undamaged and the dent hasnt got a crease they pop out fairly easily. I think they use a heat lamp to warm up the panel first and then gently...
