I have a 3/4 size plate fitted to the front of the Clio, and was wondering if ANPR cameras and digital average speed cameras can pick the digits up?! I have no idea how ANPR etc. works but I do know that theres little tolerance in what the camera can pick up from 'standard font'. Don't plan on...

On a run yesterday up through mid wales and had a play with a Seat Ibiza Cupra 2005 160bhp model. I've got to be honest the 172 couldn't touch it in anything other than the very tight and twisty stuff and even that was a struggle. The thing seemed to pick up instant power, and powered past me...

Had a Goodmans LCD TV for just over 18months now. All of a sudden, it stopped working. Theres sound but no picture what so ever, just a black screen. Any ideas?! Hope its not screwed, cost £380 18months ago!

Recently noticed 206 GTi180's are quite cheap, especially when compared to 172's etc. of the same age mileage?! How do the 180's compare to 172's? To be honest, I prefer the interior of the 180's, those seats look great! But performance wise I dont think they are as quick, or handle as well...

After an oil change and needing to scrub my new tyres in, I headed to Brecon last night for a quick spin. I took a shots and I thought it were good enough to share....Not due to the camera work, but the Welsh roads & scenery!

As above really. I have Apex now (came with the car) and the ride is so so harsh! Also think the springs are to stiff for the road and ruining the handling?! I have a standard set of 172 springs that could be fitted... thoughts?!

Black 182 with gloss black alloys, Cardiff bay link road about 5:15 yesterday?!?

Ive recently bought a Monaco 172 that has a few scratches to the front and rear bumpers that are a little more than surface you can feel them to touch and see them from a distance. I have used colour Tcut in the past to hide scratches but you cant polish over that as the tcut comes off on the...

ALSO IN FAULTS SECTION Recently bought an early 2002 172. I noticed the other day when cleaning it has a CD changer under the PAS. seat, good news I thought..... But its not working! I assume they use the same fuse as the Headunit? which is OK Also checked the plug at the back of the...

Can't help but think the front wheels look quite far inside the arch on the ph1*2. Can spacers be fitted to push the wheels out of the arch? Has anyone done this and is it recommended?! Thanks

Me Again; On the back of this mornings thread and a good suggestion of this by someone on here, Im looking at this tomorrow. http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/994428.htm Due to the lack of MOT i asked about anywork he thinks may need doing. This was his response:- ''Regarding MOT work to...

My first proper post so big hello's! :) Right, I recently had a spout of car trouble so have taken the plunge and decided to get a new car. I've had a few hatches Saxo VTS / ZR 160 etc. and I see the Clio as the next step up. The trouble is £3500 is high end PH1 or low end PH2. It has to be...

I know this should probably go in the Track Day... forum, but not being a fully fledged member YET, it wouldn't allow me. My g/f has promised to get me a track day experience for me Bday :D Lucky old me! But there are SOOO many I just wanted some advice on the best ones really? Ferrari...

Hi guys, just a quick thread wondering of anyone who has been of a simular age, experience and NCB as me and has insured a VTS? I am getting quotes of about £1100 TPFT is that about right? And also what are they like? At the mo I have a VTR but feels it lacks pace, VTS's a lot better...

HELP! Last night I hit a speedbump a little too fast, (a mistake I wont make again) and now my front offside wheel seems to have movement in it, and the turn in is no where near as sharp! Question to all those with more knowledge than me, any idea what the problem could be? Is my wheel...

I realise this question has probably been asked many times but I am after a little advice, I am 19 have 2years NCB and really want a 172, more than my Gran wants a new hip! Insurance appears to be an issue, but I am not surprised, I am getting quotes of £1700/£2000 TPFT on a 172, still a...

My First Post! I'm looking at Clio 172's. I got about £5500 once I sell my current car (Golf GTTDi 110 black 3 dr T-Reg 97,000) If anyone is interested :) ? I'm not to sure if the Cup is worth losing the goodies over? I prefer its exterior looks but no Air-con & Leather etc, will they be...
