After 3 years and 200 miles, My Clio is back at home with me....

that is really good, its been nowhere really in 3 years, should look pretty cool on coils as well, good buy

I know the feeling of wanting your old car back
 
You must have some skills, 9 cars and you're still married. Blimey.
 
I'd love to know where my PH2 172 is now, I'd be very tempted to buy it back if it was still in good nick, it was faarking MINT when it left me.
 
Hopefully it won't be disappointing for you, like an ex who's let herself go a bit.

Mk1 Hybrid,
Mk1 Clio ratvan,
ph1 172,
BMW 320,
1989 Audi 100,
1988 205 Gti,
Xsara VTS,
Fiesta 1.3 old thing,
Audi A3.

I've completely ran out of money now though so this week i'm concentrating on selling some. Hopefully. :o
 
I almost cried when it went. Hope the journey back was OK. The mission getting it on the trailer nearly killed us. Sure it's worth it though....!
 
It came off a bit easier but not a lot! lol.

Just picked it up from the garage, it drives bloody mint! Suspension is very good. Although I'm a bit short compared to your lanky self so i'm a bit stretched!!

I'll give it a wash off and get some pics up in a bit.
 
Blimey - it sat on my drive for months not starting. Glad you got it started though.

What was wrong with it?

Yeah, my mate had the same problem when MOTing it. He just wore a thick jacket!

Hope the brakes are wearing down the disks!!!

Brakes are getting there, slowly but surely. Going to strip them all down this weekend.

I've had the fuel pipe above the aux belt temporarily repaired, but its a pressure hose so needs to be replaced asap. Its on order from Renault at the minute.

Then it still wouldn't start, and we noticed the red cut off button had been pressed so reset that and Roberts your mothers brother.

I drove it about for a bit today and I'm so in love!! Going to do a load of work to it on saturday with Sam, the guy you met, he can fix anything! lol.

I can't believe how well you've kept it! Its so tidy!!!
 
I think you need a separate thread with pics of all your whips ROFFLE. Nice to see you got your old car back!
 
they say you should never get back with an ex. Not sure if that includes cars too....
 
Pics at last! :D

I'll take some proper ones once i've finished it saturday and cleaned it properly.

I don't believe that was it! I pressed that frigging red button a million times. It must have been all that bumping around on the trailer!!!

Can't remember if i screwed the injectors back in, make sure you check them.

Glad you're loving it matey. I sure did (do)....

Lots! :)

remove the whole front end and refit as its all just placed loosely atm.

strip down/clean/refit all the brakes

Put a phase 2 172 interior in it (Don't worry, i'm leaving the buckets/harnesses in!)

Get the wheels balanced as my teeth can't handle it!

Then give a full on valet

Then enjoy it hopefully. I may lower it a little more, depends on how it handles on track.

Lol. You're basically the opposite of Schweppy.
 
Isn't the ph2 dash conversion a bit of a c**t to do? Nice seeing a clio on coilovers that isn't setup to be a sex-pest to speed bumps.
