Good luck with your hunt..
11k in 13 years is pretty damn low and even that one went went 11 years without a belt change. Make of that what you will as far as it being “well” looked after collectors item.
Price wise £15k approx New in 2005 means any original investors would be wanting circa...
I defo think the 182 non trophy market is at a turning point where the majority are cheap and unfrotunately have now got in the hands of those who cant really afford them. So the quality will start to shine thru but with a prices quite rightly to match. I think enthusiats will realise there is...
I would get an advert up Matt. Some folk don’t use Facebook but deffo “watch” this forum. A trophy a potential less than £5k is a rare thing these days
6 weeks ago anyone on here would have paid that for a brand new set even if they were painted purple and orange.
yeah its frustrating when 12 others wont so I think you lottery idea is a sound one. I also think TIm (claude) should be removed form the lottery due to agreeing to help Ben deal...
Decided to go down the s/h route.
For reference.. Renault Wolverhampton (RRG) had a pair at £250 delivered. However one was on the dreaded back order from France not even showing as French stock. last time that happened to me was a new arb... never happened.
Seems they have either uk stock...
An update on my own pre- group buy set. my last issue was that the passenger pin had been drilled directly over the ball bearing location. meaning that the ball bearing would fly out when adjusted. Followed @Rik Perry advice and filled the adjuster knob holes with some epoxy filler.. Worked a...
147 currently has xenons.. which are misted. Also technically an mot fail with no washers. but I would be impressed if they ever flagged it.
I have tried polishing s/h units before and found that once you go down the road it just requires attention sooner every time.
So am considering new ones...
That’s a shame. I think you and Tim have done a sterling effort to get it this far.. There was always the potential for a bit of luck of the draw with these. I hope whoever misses out understand that.
I wouldn’t leave yourself out of pocket though. Appreciate the language barrier but they...
Not had any experience on a cold car that wouldnt start. hot usually points at the cranks sensor. Saw somw threads on cs about the wiring loom breaking. TBH if £100 of relays turns out to be a DIY fix. Thats pretty cheap for a clio.
Have you tired renault Wolverhampton. They check all stock. Not just what's in the uk. If you go to the technical section the part numbers are listed.
I bought mine middle of last year.
I would wonder if your eve likely to change it on the side of the road.. the Clio jack is about the worst one ever made.. that’s if you even have jack pints left it can use as most have been flatpacked.. probbaly from using the Clio jack.
£160 each approx cost of a new rim from Renault. If you...
hats off to you, @matt the cat
Will join the jealous list who
Would have grabbed it for £7.250, get a thread started for 148!
