Just recently bought a cheap 172, in having trouble with 1st gear thou, goes in all gears including reverse absolutely fine, there's no crunching or whining from the box at all If I'm stationary, I'll have to keep pressing the clutch in and out for it to go into 1st, I have to do this at least a...

This will be my second clio sport I'm buying, the first one I bought in the heat of the moment, ended up spending a fortune on it, kept it 14 month and got rid just after christmas, regretted selling it straght away, I don't want to do the same again, tbh from the pics it looks quite agood...

I've emailed the guy and unfortunately it has no history, with it having 12 owners the history has been lost down the line, will be a nightmare to try and trace i was going to go have a look tomorrow, as the condition seems to be immaculate, 12 months mot and its the colour I'm after (Monaco...

As title it's from a dealer, looks pretty clean with only 65 k on the clock, I've hpi'd the car and its only came back with plate changes, I've got the reg number + v5 document number to do a mot check on it and the milage seems legit, it's 2003 and I've managed to knock him down to £1400 ​would...

Nightmare to get hold of by itself, they pop up every now and again but usually sell straight away. It's easier just buying a whole new cover of someone with the cap included mate. Can usually get hold of one for £30 posted currently one on eBay but its a bit on the expensive side at £24 posted...

I agree with the above, Tbh it would cost way too much for me to have the head taken off, new belts, head gasket + labour, the cars out off mot in a couple of days, so it just wouldn't be worth fixing in my opinion, I'd be looking at £600/£700 just to put it back on the road if it can be done...

Cool....will go round a few garages on Monday then, was panicking abit incase the head had to come off, I wouldn't of repaired it if that was the case

Had the car a year now an it's ran absolutely fine till the start of the week so it's not timing etc. When I first start it, it's idling at about 1200 ( it's never idled this high since I've owned it), once it gets to temp it does the total opposite and idles at about 500 and keeps cutting out...

I was originally planning on turinis mate but sourced the 182 wheels cheap enough so took them, I am thinking of spraying them the same colour as the diamonds (rover stone grey) as they are in need of a refurb. They look spot on IMO so I'll defo be keeping them for now Not really sure what else...

Been ages since I've updated this thread, in the last couple of months it seems ie spent a small fortune on this thing but it seems to be getting there recently *swapped the springs that were on it for sportlines, car handles brilliant and doesn't bounce about like it used to *fitted new rear...
