Hi all, Dephaser on my 172 has started doing its rattling thing so needs changing, so time for all the belts to be changed as well as the water pump:(. My local trusted garage says they cant do it as they don't have the tools (more likely they didn't want to mess it up). So can anyone recommend...

I am another one of those people that really like how the cup looked originally, but can appreciate the stripes etc. (wouldn't do it myself though). Would be interested to see how you meshed the grill, was tempted to try something similar but never got round to it. Is the mesh just situated...

I am definitely considering switching back to Greenlight for my 172 this year (quotes permitting), the only reason I am not with them now was that when I renewed I could not protect 4 yrs no claims (with Admiral I could). I felt it was worth switching even though it cost me more for the year.

The wheel lock bolts were for my grale (reguired long bolts about 40mm long) and as the car is parked in an alarmed and very secure garage 99% of the time I didn't think over £30 was reasonable. Got a set of new McGards for £22 in the end inc p&p.

Anyone know a good place to get decent wheel lock nuts. I want a decent set similar to the McGard ones but don't want to pay the £30+ they are charging. Thanks

Hi G18llo, I take it you are the same guy as on evoforum. Classicline quoted me £470 this year, but they said that when I am over 30 my premium should shoot down. I am a bit worried about any insurance policy on the delta as I can't see the solextra glass being covered by their windows policy...

I am with Admiral for the 172, cheapest I could find that insure my mods and protect 4 yrs no claims (Greenlight only protect 5). I am 26 by the way and pay £700 for the Clio. My Delta Evo 2 only costs me £350 a year on an agreed value (£13500), limited mileage classic car policy.

Most classic car insurers will require the car to be 10 years old or more to get classic car status. However try classicline insurance on 01455 639000 as they do taylor made policies. Also AON may be worth a try think number is 01483 706070 but have not checked.

Mine were originally yellow, but were a bit manky so I resprayed them blue with VHT brake calliper paint. http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a234/gilesap1/b347b43a.jpg

Focus ST gets my vote too

Use my 4 yrs no claims on the clio (now with Admiral), The delta is insured with greenlight (they matched the no claims on my clio policy which was with them at the time), this was after a mixup with a classic car insurance scheme. Will be going classic car next renewal as they dont work on a...

Hi, Looking for a part for my brothers clio 172 mk 1, thought Id try on here before having to resort to a dealer. Part No - 77 00 842 246 Desc - W/REG ELEC RH Basically its the drivers side electric window setup, motor, guide rail etc. Looking at my dialogys its one complete unit and I...

Its a good idea to predrill small holes before screwing in self tappers.

Clio - Mine lock stock Delta - In shares with mister lloyds, 2/3 mine still owe 4k

Left handed as well

Awkward question, my 306 Dturbo was always a blast. The clio suffers from the same problem but to a lesser extent as the Grale, it is hard to really extract the fun from the car legally. I mean four seconds off a roundabout and Im doing *15 makes me worry for my licence.

Where abouts are you from then? In Blackwood (where I live) 182s are now more popular than saxos, my 172 is almost regarded as an out of date classic car.

Terrible aint it, use it most days as well. Now I got a weekend car the mileage is going to reduce as well.

My mk2 172 passed its first MOT today - yayyy. Total cost for service and MOT (I provided oil and other parts) £70. Probably a record, car has now done 9000 miles and has had four oil changes. Funnilly my bros mk1 172 failed its second MOT on emissions last week, lambda sensor had gone.

My 172 (02) isnt, my bros mark 1 172 is completely bog standard.

That group of companies (esure FA) were the only company that refused to quote me even though they advertise specifically for people with 4+ years no claims. Will be going back to greenlight next year as they will protect 5 years but not four. Delta will be insured with AON next year, Ford...

First Alternative refused point blank to provide a quote for me. 26 yrs old, 4 years no claims, no points, good area, two other cars, but my clio has modifications.

26 Now, bought 172 when 24, still enjoy it now every day. bougth Delta when 25, whhhooooooosssshhhhh!

I got a spare set if anyone wants them (discs pads and callipers - only 6000 miles). Definitely vented by the way about 280-285mm. [Edited by blackcat on 26 January 2005 at 5:36pm]

Clio is my mundane everyday car since last Novemeber when I bought something more fun for the weekends.

I was under the impression that numbers on a car were to signify that you were taking part in some form of motorsport event, and are therefore covered under the event insurance. i.e. before the official start of the Wales Rally GB the competitors car are not allowed to travel on public roads...

O2 reg mk 2 172, just went through 7500 miles. Even worse I have just put a deposit down on a weekend car to have some fun in, so that mileage will reduce next year.

There was a post reltaing to this contract thing on before, concerning an ex Renault salesman (best in country apparently) that sued Renault UK for unfair dismissal after being transferred to the Fleet sales department. If I remember correctly he worked for Renault Birmingham and they were...

I had some seagulls (must be because of the size of the splatter) leave three big marks on my car over the weekend, noticed it this morning and washed my car this evening. Even Autoglym super resin poilish wouldnt remove the marks in the laquer, does anyone know of a good more abrasive polish...
