Yeah, but the second time it went they said it wasn't there fault, the follower lifting up was a fault with the original engine, they should cover this though, if the head gasket has gone or the head as cracked, I paid for them to change the HG, so it should be under guarantee.

You're not wrong, it does sound a bit far fetched to all happen within such a short space of time, we'll see what the garage says this time. Sorry if I sounded snappy, I just didn't like the comment that I'd go off telling my mates Clio's are s**t cause my one has been s**t. I understand that no...

Yeah thanks, but please don't judge me without knowing me, I still don't have a bad word to say against renault sport, I'm very picky and I made sure to check my area for a garage that I would feel comfortable leaving my car with, the garage I took it to IS a renault specialist, if you read...

Cheers mate, my partner has a car that I can borrow, a little 106 diesel that will probably out-live me. It's just a pain having to take her car from her when I should have my own!

Rang them up again after the final drive with the plumes of smoke, but they'd already finished work by then. They don't open on a Saturday but Richard opens one of there other garages on a saturday morning and swings by keynsham to check messages, hopefully he can get it picked up asap and find...

Jesus, I'm glad it's only a clio I'm having this trouble with! Haha, we'll see what the garage says first, but I can definitely see this car being sold very shortly.

Haha, they guy that I'm dealing with atm is called Richard, he's is definitely a top bloke, he seems to have my interest in mind all the time, regarding the car and the cost.

Yeah I do wonder a bit, when I phoned earlier this afternoon to say the oil filler cap was off he said "oh, well it could be that we didn't tighten it enough.." If they don't even offer to fix this free of charge I can see it getting nasty... which is a shame because I really like the guys...

Tell me about it :( total costs now are mental... good job credit cards exist eh?

Totally agree with you Daniel, If I'd have known that the head was going to go straight after getting the bottom end done, I would never have fixed it in the first place, I'm the position now where I've put so much money into it, if I were to sell it now I wouldn't be able to get half of what...

Cheers man, I just can't believe how many problems this one car has... the joke is, this is the only car I've ever had an AA check done on before hand, and I went to the clio from a 106 rallye, because I thought the clio would be more reliable as it's 7 years younger. :/

Hey guys, I'm gonna tell you a story about how getting a clio 172 has turned out to be the worst decision I've made in a looooong time. I was planning on making a thread on things I've done to it, things I'm planning on doing to it etc... but I haven't yet had a chance. Get a snack it's quite...

What exhaust have you got?

That's what I'm getting, if you watch the vid link I posted at the top, the description says "Cat back", and it sounds mental :/

Rang them up about an hour ago spoke to a chap called Martin, he said I have been sent the right one, so that stops me worrying, he said it might not sound the same because 1. Youtube are prob's showing decatted exhausts making it sound different 2. Mine hasn't really had time to bed in and coke...

Yeah I'm going to ring them tomorrow as I have it off, just wanted to see if anyone else had a similar issue, bought the ktec to be raspy but a little disappointed it's not!

Absolutely love that video, 3rd drive by sounds like an F1 car! With the Super Quiet back box is there a silencer in the backbox? cause if so, then I do think I've been sent the wrong back box. If that is the case, do you reckon they'd just send me the new backbox then I could send the old...

The centre pipe is unsilenced it's just a straight pipe, but the back box is where my confusion lies as it says "KTR Stealth Exhaust SILENCER for 172" I'm thinking maybe I was sent the super quiet back box by accident? http://www.k-tecracing.com/show_product.asp?id=3937&appid=2 As they both...

Hey guys, I need help! I bought a Ktec Stealth Supersport last week, fitted it last Wednesday and it just doesn't sound right... I expected it to sound like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7URiUB21WK4 When actually it sounds nothing like it, it just sounds loud and drones, there's no...

Are the rear badges removed like the front diamond? Just pull out? I'm guessing the "sport" is glued down if it doesn't have any holes?

The blue writing in the description hurts my eyes O_O
