Sorry to revive an old thread but good to see no-name is finally getting the track time she deserves. My wife was one of the previous owners, and banderson should recognise it, he did the shocks on it when we lived in Thetford. Sounds like the guy we sold it to did some work, we sold it...

Morning all, Been a while since I've been back here but spotted my old car on the A47 this morning heading into Norwich. I sold it about a year ago to a guy near Ipswich but don't know what's happened to it since, don't know if it's the same guy or if she's been sold on again. Anyone on here...

Sold.

Now on ebay for a reduced price; http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2003-Renault-Sport-Clio-172-Cup-/141241203338

As the title says really, the time has come for the Clio to move on to other pastures for new adventures; http://www.pistonheads.com/classifieds/used-cars/renault/renaultsport-clio/renaultsport-clio-172-cup-2003/2169377 Having a mortgage means we can no longer justify the cost of running three...

I didn't think I could have and it would have been a pretty obvious **** up but just seems a bit odd that its only happening now and was fine before changing the gasket. The only difference now is the gap between the cat and the manifold is slightly bigger as there is actually some gasket...

Im pretty sure I didn't put the cat back in upside down but I'll double check when I'm back with the car later, don't think it would have gone back over the sub-frame if I had though. Its definetely rubbing against something, I'll try to have another good look underneath but did look like it...

Hi, I changed the cat to manifold gasket today as the old one was completely rotten and blowing. Got the gasket fitted and all tightened up but now the car vibrates like hell when accelerating. It only does it under load and is slightly better in 5th but still there if you put your foot down. I...

Just found out the horn on the clio isn't working (perfect timing with the MOT due in 3 weeks). Its done it a few times before and the garages have always been able to get it working again but the receipt for the last work said that if it died again it would need a new rotary switch. Seeing as...

Thanks for that, hopefully we can get it back to the garage in the next few days to find out for sure. A sensor sounds better than some of the bigger things that could have gone wrong. Think oils the bane of my life at the moment, just had to do a run to the south coast in the micra...

Hi everyone, Sorry if this is covered somewhere else, I'm on my lunch break and a bit short on time to go hunting through threads. The clio's recently been serviced (normal interim service, not cam belt) by a reputable garage but now has the oil light coming on and off. I've done the obvious...

Think the numberplate 'OCD' sums that up pretty well!

Hello mate, I was in the cup. Spotted you a few days running a few weeks ago but haven't seen you again since.

I thought I recognised the plate as being someone on here. Sorry, would have stopped to say hello but was in a bit of a rush and Boreham was just a pee stop. Haha, I'm sure yours was cleaner! I'm currently doing 4-500 miles a week and its been a while since its had a bath! At least the dirtier...

Coming off the A12 at Sandon and down the A130 until the Wickford turning. Anyone on here?
