    ***How much is it worth?***

    It's gutting isn't it? I started with an offer of £1500, but had a 'lengthy' chat with the engineer and was armed with more adverts than he knew what to do with. Ultimately, I'm still out of pocket and finding a low mileage example in the condition mine was in, is proving borderline impossible...

    ***How much is it worth?***

    Hi mate, I suffered the same on my monaco 172 last month, was quoted nearer £2k to fix. Hope you got a decent pay out, I ended up with £1,820 cash plus the car (which was 9% or something) so I effectively paid £180 for salavage and sold that this week for £400. (Absolute bargain IMO) but you...

    About To Purchase A Clio 182... Advice??

    I might offer them £3,500 and be done.

    About To Purchase A Clio 182... Advice??

    Indeed! If it were £4k, I'd be thinking, may get it for £3.75k and have something a bit different, but not that much!

    About To Purchase A Clio 182... Advice??

    If you can stretch your budget!! (nothing to do with me btw...if it was £4k I'd be tempted, but £5k is LOT of money for a 'colour')...

    Clio 172 Cup Average Major Service and belts pump & dephaser costs?

    Parts (in March 2014) All belts and plugs etc were £283 delivered. Paid £180 to have them fitted, which I guess is about a days work (I also had a fog light fitted) so £600 isn't out of the ordinary.

    You've got one seriously trigger happy send finger lol!

    East coast spotted

    I've still got my eye out. Seen a low mile black 172 up for £895. Tempted to 'save' it. Sounds well serviced, just looks tatty, which with mine I can easily rectify. Just wonder if it's worth it or not.

    East coast spotted

    That's the one, think he's lowered it too, looks clean enough, although he's a 'youngun' so I suspect I'll see other mods appear ;) No pics to hand, someone went into the back of me on Bridge Road, bumper, tailgate and lights smashed. Worst part is that it made a dent in the offside rear...

    Belt change in Norfolk/Suffolk?

    Just to add, I had mine done by R&S Autoservices (near Asda in Lowestoft) Steve is a top bloke and ex Renault and and ex Clio 172 owner too, so knows the cars well. I think I paid about £600 for all belts, plus a few minor other bits (fit a supplie fog light was one thing).

    Anyone seen the flamer 172 around the Lowestoft area? Not sure if they're a member on here? Seen it parked on Beccles Road a couple of times and had him behind me (oo err) on the A146 once, he fancied a play but I had my son in the car otherwise I may have obliged (he tells my wife if I do 35...

    What have you done to your car today ???

    Lol! I've often thought about that in the winter, but I drive bare foot far too much during the summer (I live life at the beach) and like my feets.

    Going from a 172 to 182?

    My 172 was like a rocket off the line, I think the longer 1st gear in a 172 made it pretty potent, if not the 0-60 time overall.

    Going from a 172 to 182?

    Might get a Megane 225 then....surely they're quicker!? lol! (top end doesn't bother me, just enjoy acceleration!)

    Reassuring to hear.

    Going from a 172 to 182?

    Anyone done it? Preferred it? I know the 172s were notorious for not actually making that on rollers, so are 182s in a similar boat? I can't find a nice clean 172 Monaco since mine was W/O, so am being forced really to look at 182s. Not as much as a fan looks wise (172s go under the radar a...

    Waving?

    We tend to wave at other campervans, 99% of the time, there's acknowledgement either way. Ggenerally, when I was in the Clio, it'd be a knowing nod of approval to fellow Renaultsport owners, nothing too excitable lol! Currently driving around in a BMW, sorry, Mini Cooper SD and had a few...

    Another one bites the dust

    Glad I'm not alone. I've potentially 'sourced' a low mileage 172 in Monaco and possibly not too far away. He was asking £2400, so may be up for a similar amount again (advert was taken down). Fingers crossed something comes of it.

    Another one bites the dust

    I'm 35 years old, I like the twin tail pipes, but I prefer the 172 because it looks a bit more discreet. I had a Purple 4.5 V8 when i was in my mid twenties, I've done the loud and proud phase lol!

    Another one bites the dust

    With all respect, 182s are ten a penny lol (don't want to sound a c**t myself either! ;-) ) I've spent two days looking for a similar car and cannot get anywhere near what it's like. The car was immaculate and that's not an exaggeration. The only bad points I can think of (bear in mind I had a...

    Another one bites the dust

    You should have seen my face when I asked "insurance" and got the reply "yes, I have but not sure who with" I asked for his licence to get some ID and the licence said 'Indian Union Driving Licence of Goa State' lol! I thought, here we go, but turns out he was legitimate, but I was fearing the...

    DY03 ZKL Got rear ended by some numpty whilst I was sat at a crossing, proper whack, no idea how he hit me that hard considering i'd been stationery for so long, the girl who crossed was lucky...15 secs earlier I may have gone into her as he hit me that hard I ended up half way over the...

    Monaco 172 Lowestoft

    Slow to reply, but probably me! I usually go via relief road into town most mornings. If I'm not in the clio, give me a wave in the white VW T4 campervan with the black roof! Oddly, when I'm in the clio, I always forget and wave at other campers and vice versa!

    ***How much is it worth?***

    I'm considering selling my 172 so I can do further upgrades to my camper. Monaco blue 172 (ph2) on 69k MASSIVE file of receipts, the previous owner spent a fortune sorting this car. I bought in Jan 14 and in March 14 I had the cambelt, dephaser and aux belts done for peace of mind, then the...

    The 'What MPG Do You Get?' Thread

    OBC The only time I've calculated it was on a run to Birmingham and I got 38mpg (376 mile trip) but I was screaming along at times.
