I haven't been on here for ages, but I thought I would let everyone know that I've just ordered an Alien Green Clio 200. Picking it up next week.
It's a full fat with Cup suspension and Anthracite Exterior Pack. If your in Stoke, you will probably see me around.
I'm part exchanging my 5...
Apart from the colour, are these wheels the same ?

I'm looking to purchase a 197 and considering fitting the following parts.
-197 Raider Alloys, RenaultSport Decals, small rear spoiler (picture below)
Is this possible and does anyone know the part numbers please.
As per this picture-...
The rear of my 182 Cup seems more bumpy than usual. I suspected the dampers but Renault can't find anything obvious. They unscrewed the dampers from the wheels and tested the dampers for resistance. I was standing there when they did it.
The tyre pressures are okay. I believe the balancing is...
Okay, here's my problem-
I recently hit a massive hole and I've had handling problems ever since (understeering and very unsettled).
My car is a 182 (with cup pack).
I've taken it to two independant garages and between them they have done this-
- Left suspension arm and ball joint...
After hitting a massive pothole on a roundabout, the steering has been rubbish. I'm getting loads of understeer whilst turning right and the car feels very unsettled at high speeds. (the tracking and balancing have been checked okay).
My local garage have suggested replacing a bent arm (or...
Haven't been on here for ages, so it's good to be back again.
I've had my 182 full-fat since January and the handling has been spot on.
However, a few weeks back I was pushing hard whilst driving into a roundabout and I hit a massive drain cover that had sunk into the road.
As you can...
....I did have an affair with a new shape Honda Civic and civinfo.com !
I thought I was ready to settle down, but it appears that I wasn't. I lost sight of what really matters the most. Fun and excitement !
It all started in 2001 with my 172 mk1, followed by a 172 mk2. It finally ended in...
Whilst reading a posting by 'eddd' (I was comparing 182 FF to 182 Cup), he mentioned that the 182 Cup had improved caster.
I may have misunderstood, but I thought the 182 FF with Cup suspension was identical to the 182 Cup. Have I missed something.

Does anyone know the procedure when buying a car with a private number plate.
The seller wishes to keep the plate, but I want the car asap.
How long should it take. Do I have to wait for the transfer before I can drive it away ?
Thanks
For any Trophy owners that dont already know, theres a grab handle underneath the Recaro seats (at the front). Pull this and the seat extends forward.
I find the seats far more comfortable when extended forward.
Enjoy.
Can someone please confirm, do the Gatso cameras only take pictures after you have passed them, taking a picture of the rear of the car.
The reason for asking, I was approaching one of these (it was facing towards me on the other side of the road), and the camera flashed.
I was going over 30...
Im having my front bumper re-sprayed soon and was thinking of getting the splitter done in the same colour. What do you reckon ?

My 172 MK2 was booked in with Renault to replace the suspension mounts and to carry out the 172 strut modification.
I agreed to pay for this work because the warranty was invalidated due to the fitment of Koni adjustible dampers.
They now tell me they have replaced the shock absorbers...
Make sure you buy your copy of AutoExpress :)
