even our 182 system is under 98db (just, when decatted)

its less than 10kg, very much doubt it does anything for strutural stifness

its pretty "normal" (for a renault) we see it all the time, Renault will probably tell you no its caused by the bump stop sleve rubbing on the shock, surpising plastic does that to metal not dangerous

don't even bother, just use decent 5W40 and change it regularly

any 5W40 fully syn

yeah i get off at the same junction, turn left and then turn right by esso and head in to town P81* XGA white 5door knackered clio!

8.59am on the slip road exiting the m40 at junc 10 you we're "pressing on" ;)

i have no idea, but it won't be cheap as you'll be needing the airbag too

its not headgasket! its rocker cover gasket (silicone)

90% of all 172's/182's do it, very common and it is covered under warranty, not dangerous though

did you know Renault were considering doing the Trophy in white! shame they didn't :(

the beast is in the workshop having throttle bodies fitted :) look out for a rusty white 1.9D clio Preg 5door (its lovely!)

I tooted my horn, i was driving a white clio diesel, you had a look of disgust on your face "how dare a shitty white clio beep at me" LOL

it varies between wet and dry weather dry we run ET37, wet we sometimes run a ET43

i just feel they drive much better with toe in, its suits my driving style too i guess we run the 240bhp cup with slight toe in (3deg neg camber) here's a question what happens to the wheels when you accelerate??? (apart from the obvious!)
