Got a discount from the dealership, then a contribution of 60% (on the discounted price) from Renault UK. Bill reduced from £1890 to £600. I'm happy.

Up the Renault Customer Care!! My cars a '04 Clio 182 with 45K on the clock, its been regularly serviced slightly ahead of schedule by Renault and has been perfectly reliable up until Tuesday. Iv been away on business and then went to Silverstone, so hadnt driven the thing for about a week...

HAZ, thats always where they crack.

i got a scorpion (RS192), only been on the car a month so no rusting or cracking yet. it doesnt fit 100% perfect, needs a bit of adjusting but i cant find the time. its bassy at tickover but reasonably quite when driving normally and louder when nailing it, but not overly so, defo one of the...

Morning, no worries for yesterday cheers for beer tokens, they were converted and now im hungover, bbq was ace, ate 3 huge steaks.110 in convoys fun... now wheres the paracetamol.

Yeah, its my neighhbourhood. Dont see too many RS's about here really, i work in Darwen and there is a few up there. BTW have you ever seen any cars hit the kerb at the roundabout on eastway where d'urton lane is, iv seen loads, renamed it the 'slipabout'. bri.

Hey Mish, I dunno whos the car is, but I live on the Pennines which is just off the next roundabout up on the way to asda and I see it everytime I drive up durton lane. dont think its anyone off here tho. Never seen you about either? Bri

Tesco 99. same price as a main brands regular fuel, but 99 ron.

I got one, fitted it myself, getting the tail pipes to sit right is a b**ch, but they look good when its done. Has a deep bassy sound at idle up to ~2k rpm, then my induction kit makes too much noise to really hear it. Looks good and for £350 delivered is great value.

Yeah, aux belt was done at 34k, but it still does this squeal at high rpm. Its odd, I can hit the rev limited once or twice and it wont make the noise, but then once its started to squeal it will squeal at reasonably low rmp, like 4k. Anyone any ideas?

I get a fairly constant 35mpg, driving mostly m-way with some A roads, I don't generally drive in ruch hour traffic but I tend not to hang about on the m-ways tho. My max ever is 40mpg on A-roads. Simply can't do 50-60mph on m-way, would be dangerous, I would fall asleep.

Werksatt Acrylic Jet: unbelievable finish, I used this on mine at the weekend and couldnt believe the finish & it takes bugger all time to apply. Good shout that rich.

You will be loving the Clio just seconds before your bike slips on some crap on the road (probably left by a farmer) and you paint a dry-wall red.

Hey Andy, I bought some jubilee clips for my CV boot (pm you about it a bit back), it took ages to find somewhere that sold big enough ones (halfords etc..), eventually got some 4" diameter from Gibsons, do you recon that will about fit? or **n-bomb**? Brian.

I live in Preston and commute to Darwen, so I only ever really drive in and out and with starting work at 7:30 its not too much of a surprise I don't get spotted much round here. I did see Chris from "Chris & Nik" a few months ago, but that was only cos I had slept in and it was about 8:30 when...
