  1. Who needs to balance coin when they can just be inhaled!
  2. Rough lumpy idling was once cool.
  3. Wow, was my sentiments exactly when I fell in love with my first Clio 172, the curious thing is that I’d never heard of Clio’s or Renault’s generally, but the megane 2 when it came out in 2003 was a beautiful looking thing, for one with a family heritage of Chrysler’s then Mitsubishi, then typically jap cars cause dad was not patriotic at all! Maybe the strange love is an under dog type of mentality.
  4. So should’ve kept my mint cordia turbo back in the day, I’m not sure why there’s not a lot of love for the 225’s, love my 08’ cup, 5 years w’out issue, and I’d get my money back if I sold it today.
  5. Should’ve kept the s2000, could’ve sold it now n bought three clios!
  6. I’ve seen a couple of belts shred a few teeth, and a couple more with shagged idler or tensioner pulleys, all equally unhealthy and expensive!
  7. What chuck means is ya have to send a few photos of urself.
  8. Keep us updated, might be able to help with bits or point u in the right direction.
  9. If there’s fluid leaking out underneath it’ll be the slave cylinder.
  10. Guessing it’s the robot auto, where abouts are u?
  11. Thank you for sharing ur story, is hugely refreshing and nice, u clearly have a great attitude, and fine taste in machinery, look forward to updates, nice crowd around here to bounce off.

    Bang for buck?

    Ph2 Megane 2 cups are getting stolen lately.
  13. Tried them in my Clio 4 and it didn’t seem to recognise them, maybe I’m doing something wrong.
  14. If there the same as a Megane I have a couple.
  15. Pretty rare for those type of leaks, good chance it’s residual from an oil change.
  16. Yeah there is a lot to be said about the inconspicuous Clio, I know if I were a law enforcement person n saw a bout of traffic light derbys, certainly would be assuming the Silvia owner the likely trouble maker!
  17. Yep that's the one, sold for $3800 plus approx $350 auction fees, must have been parked around manly warringah area abandoned for some time as there were stickers on the windows of that nature, no keys or any idea of it's history, like a lost puppy. Curiosity sake, thought someone here might know.
  18. Just after thinkin, be mindful that P plates are often magnets to power poles, trees n other cars on the road!
  19. Looks tidy, ur man still has it listed for sale on gumtree, unless he has two the same! Anyway, watch out for rogue chickens crossing the road at the bottom of the gorge, 10 dollar chicken nearly cost me a front end trying to avoid it!
  20. Can anyone identify a silver 172 nsw dodgy yellow plates BJ82HE, did have 182 wheels, interior n headlamps, mostly identifiable by hail damage, bit of a mystery.
  21. Just bought the Trafic with 392000km and a blown motor for $4500, is a high roof model, waiting for it to come up from melbourne, is very straight hardly a mark on it. Also ive got plenty of 172 spares, 2 engines and gearboxes, loads of other bits n pieces, maybe i should put that post up in another section, Thanks for ur replies.
  22. As i'm a proud owner of a Clio 172 and a Kangoo, i think i might be entitled to ask, anyone who might have a clue or know someone who might know whether the 2.5L Diesel from the Master Van, may fit in the engine bay of a Trafic 1.9? Not asking cause i'm hoping for massive power gains, just i need an engine one way or the other, seen a Master wreck at salvage auction and wondered??? Any help would be well appreciated! Also my 02' 172 is up for sale, 121k and log books, hoping for around 7 grand, Gosford, NSW area.
  23. Sure the towing capacity would be a problem, was a deluded thought i know, mostly just wanna pace the odd showpony tax deduction taxi ute, see who cops the speeding ticket, gotta love a sleeper.
  24. Jeez, thanks for the encouragement, gotta find a recipient kangoo yet, dreaming of the day i'll be towing clio track car behind kangoo up the freeway holding speed limit on the hills, how cool is that!
