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...

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...

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...

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...

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

SA05, last 3 digits like a high street music store. Followed you from Bures to Sudbury at about 6ish. I promise I'm not stalking you but I was also parked opposite you last night on Market Hill at around 7.

Just noticed it tucked away behind the bank, anyone on here? Seen quite a few 1*2's round here in the last couple of weeks since starting work round here but it's the first V6 I've seen round here.

Morning all, Just starting using the 172 as my daily and shes decided that she doesn't always want to tell me how fast I'm going. Its been doing it on and off for a little while now and normally if you ease off the throttle the needle jumps back to life and carries on like nothings happened...

Just about to press the buy button and get some Pirelli Pzero Neros but noticed the continental contact 5's are quite a bit cheaper. Since they replace the conti sport 3 that everyone seemed to love, are they worth a shot? Also, the cup has 45 profile shoes on at the moment but I'm thinking...

Just spotted you in this property advert; http://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/property-39380101.html If your on here, we're looking at this flat so wondered if you had any advice on the place or what the area is like? Cheers

Whilst doing work to get the car through the MOT we've noticed that No-name appears to have a intermittant misfire and twice now the emissions light has flashed up and gone away again. When plugged in to diagnostics its showing a P0300 error - random misfire. The car also seems to surge a little...

Its that time of year again and No-Name's just failed her MOT. Haven't seen the sheet yet to know the exact issues but just had a call from Soph and it needs; Both rear shocks, Front pads, Rear brakes (don't know if its just the pads/discs or if the calipers need doing). I'm presuming the...

silver x-reg, lowered with yellow fogs, hiding in the corner of the front car park of the big onion festival near Thetford.

Does anybody nearby have a code reader? Cars running pretty rough and haven't really got a clue where to start? If someone does, please could we clear our codes, have a drive and then see whats popped up again? Cheers

Had a new OEM exhaust fitted back in April after the old one rotted away, noticed the other day that it had started to blow a bit. Took it back to the garage that fitted it and they said it needed a bit of welding and done it under warranty as its only a few months old. I thought it would be...

Not sure if my eyes are playing tricks on me or not, spotted a black V6 in Watton a couple of times a few weeks ago, the reg was V66BAP...spotted a white V6 today with the same plate! Anyone know it?

While Soph's out and about in the Clio, I've been doing some sneaky spotting from the Micra - Haven't flashed or waved as it'll embarrass the little Nissan but have seen; Black V6 (V66***) seen a couple of times heading towards Thetford from Watton Blue Cup heading away from Watton at about 6pm...

After destroying a pheasant at about 60mph the other day, we've just noticed the little f**ker got its revenge and smashed the bonnet badge on impact. I've had a hunt around and can find places selling the silver diamond bit but we need the black bit behind it instead. Anyone know the part...

Can anyone recommend any good garages in Norfolk? Got a few little niggles and don't really want a 200 mile round trip to Ren-o-tec for little jobs but don't want to be mugged off either. Cheers,

Without wanting to hijack the MOT/tax thread thats ongoing... My other car's MOT is due on the 22nd but its going in this afternoon. If the car fails, am I still allowed to drive it until the 22nd or would the newer failure take priority? The car's still taxed/insured etc but don't really want...

So, I might have accidentally scrapped the wing mirror on the cup against a fence! I got out expecting to see a little scuff mark that would polish out but actually cracked the wing mirror cover. Is this part available separately or do I need to get a whole new mirror? I'm hoping I don't need...

Hi, My girlfriends just called me from work and said that when moving the car around the car park the brakes just failed on her. She said they now seem fine again but this is now the second time this has happened, both times theres been a complete loss of brakes but then they quickly return...

Just wondering if theres anywhere Essex that will do a full service and cambelt without paying the ridiculous costs I've been quoted so far; South Hills garage - £850 John Tinham - £980 Ren-o-Tec - £734 Whilst they are reputable garages and do seem to know their stuff I find their prices a...

Hi All, Just wondering if the previous owner of our Clio is on here. Bought the car recently with a partial service history - the car seems immaculately looked after for the first 3 years or so (a few warranty repairs plus standard services, tyres etc) but don't have much information after...

Our little Clio doesn't seem to be feeling very horny - more to the point the horn doesn't work. I've had a quick hunt around the forum and have found that I should check in the steering column to check the wires are correctly connected. I've also checked the fuse which seems fine. Only just...

My girlfriend has just phoned me saying she's had to pull over and that the central display states 'too hot' and the stereo has switched off. She's had a quick flick through the manual and it states that the unit has overheated. However, after getting the clio to replace an MGF, we're...

Hi, Just a quick query to find out the accuracy of the fuel gauge and computer. I filled the car up and have got about a quarter of a tank left according to the gauge (done about 200 miles on the 3/4's used) but the computer says I can still do another 197 miles! Not sure if the gauge or the...

Hi All, Just bought a 53-plate 172 Cup on Saturday and thought I'd say hi. Seems like quite a nice little car, managed to find one with one lady owner with 50k on the clock. Seems much better than the last car I got (MGF) which broke down multiple times and has had ££££'s thrown at it. I...
