Was behind me on Carterhatch Lane for a bit then passed me on the A10. Cliosport sticker and a plate starting with D1. Lovely colour.
Inferno on the A10 as well heading towards Enfield. 55 plate I think, around the same time.
Spotted the 182 at about 12:15 in WGC - I think it had a CS sticker in the back window and some other stickers. The 172 was behind me on the Ridgeway being driven by a female at about 1245ish.
Just driving home when the engine revs raced up all of a sudden, thought the car had jumped out of gear and found 5th gear had totally vanished. All the other gears work fine but the gearbox is making a right noise now. I've searched through the forum and there seems to be various thoughts on...
Took my car to Renault this morning due to steering wheel vibration at about 70 mph and occasionally getting an engine warning light come on. They've told me there's nothing wrong with the car mechanically (including wheels and tyres) but it has a faulty upstream oxygen sensor (I think that's...
On the M25 driving home, I'm in the centre lane minding my own when the traffic in the fast lane starts slowing up. A van pulls out in front of me from the fast lane without indicating so I take a bit of evasive action, avoid said van, curse a bit - not at the driver I'll add, then carry on...
I've just sold my ST24 and am thinking about getting another 2nd car at some point in the future. In the meantime is it going to be a problem if I'm still registered as insured on the car (i paid in full right at the start of the year) in order to keep my no-claims going or do I have to tell the...
Does anyone know how the plastic panel on the inside of the car - covering the boot lock and base of the tailgate - is removed? I can see one screw holding it on and presume the rest is clips but I dont want to just yank it off and break anything so thought I would check first. It's a 182. Any...
Just reading that 'Difference between a 172 and 172 Cup' thread and I had forgotten about the options list for the Cup. Anyone remember? In the official brochure it was stating options for roll cages, upgraded brakes, suspension (I think) fire extinguishers etc. Did anything ever come of that?
So I was just perusing the bay of E to see what the prices of parts are like for the old barge, when I came across this:

And he is charging for it as well.
PF03ORS (I think) with Trophy wheels. At about 1730-1800. I could not see the driver as he was totally obscured by a blue hoodie. Headlights and fogs both on in the bright sunlight and rolling with his fellow hoodies, innit bruv, braaaaap etc.
My car needs a new rear drivers side shock absorber as it is leaking. I have read the guide on here for changing them on a 172 and it seems to be quite a straightforward job. Can someone advise me if this guide is the same for the 182 as well - jack car up, remove two nuts, change over shocks...
Following on from this thread http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?t=248267&highlight=got+hit+yesterday where my car got hit in the butt i thought it was time for an update. Basically after the girl's company admitted liability i took the car to their approved accident repair centre - a...
As per title really. Had a youg girl smash into the back of my 182 at about 20 mph yesterday afternoon on the A10 near Enfield. Her Ka is a bit of a mess and probably a write off. Mine is worse than it looks - boot floor badly bent up, rear panel buckled, underside is bent up with all the...
I'm thinking about getting another car and i have a couple of years no-claims on another policy seperate to the one i have for the Clio. I have not used this policy since 2003 so is the bonus still applicable or has it run out? Cheers.
Just gone out in the car to find it has packed up. When i press 'Auto' the display comes on as normal but all I get is a little whirring noise then nothing. Anyone else had this problem and how big a job is it time wise? Luckily the car is still under warranty. Cheers.
Can someone tell me if my 182 was supposed to have had it's air and cabin filters changed at this service interval (a whopping £300.00 at Renault Enfield! Although that did include tracking)? It says in the service history that they are supposed to be changed at 12,000 miles but my car is on...
Won't turn off. Sitting in my car waiting for my girl to finish work and there was a single click from somewhere in the dash and my hazards are now constantly on. I think it's the actual switch as when its pushed in they go off but when you let go they come on. I wouldn't mind but i have never...
at about 16:00 today. Was right behind you in a crappy Astra hire car (we were until you tore off anyway) at the Bullsmoor Lane junction going towards Enfield. Bit of a noisy exhaust too.
7.30pm a Black 53 plate 172 on the A10 being driven by a mature lady. Then at around 8ish an 05 plate Arctic 182 by Ware college and then at about 830 a black V6255 in Potters Bar! Clios - bloody everywhere.
I normally drive round with the ESP switched on but as an experiment I switched it off the other day to see if it made any noticeable difference. After a dirty great big wheelspin from a standing start the car seemed to pull a bit harder through the gears and felt sharper (if that is the right...
