Direct line quoted me £130 more than last year?? even though I've been with them for years and got full no claims - I think they just make it up as they go along.
Switched to the AA - £30 cheaper than last years - £440
My power washer's just exploded so used a normal hose and just a sponge with water - got the same result as you Oliie - hardly any effort and looks like it's just been polished - even a few spots of tar just wiped off!!
So far so good - just hope the stuff keeps going for as long as they said...

Been in touch with permagard and they've got a franchise in Stockport(about 20 miles from me) I can't get to them for the next few weekends so would be v grateful if you could let me know how you're getting on over the next few weeks - before I take the plunge!!
Cheers

Got one in at Holdcroft in Crewe.Had a look at it on Saturday - if I'd got kids to scare I'd be tempted. First job would be to lose the stickers - apart from them looks great.
With me being a lazy so and so and not having a clue about polishing cars I've been phoning round a few places trying to find someone to do it for me. Found a place in Stoke that's offering a full valet,polish andl Diamond brite treatment half price - is this Diamond brite stuff any good? Looked...
When I was buying my 182 cup the Renault salesman insisted that you could get one in silver,when I tried to explain you could only get them in Inferno and Racing Blue he told me I was wrong - I then showed him the 182 brochure and he said that was wrong too!! They must be programmed to talk bollox
Yeah I realize no two engines will be the same and that cold air will make a difference but I've driven the cup in colder conditions with nowhere near the same result - like you said could've been a duff engine - even more glad I swapped now!!
Took the Trophy out for her first blast on Saturday and even though the roads were a bit greasy had great fun around the Derbyshire hills.
One thing that stood out apart from the handling was that the engine seemed to be a lot stronger than the one in my old 182 cup - It seemed to pull a lot...
Will do mate - mines got a private reg (V7GRP) at the moment - Holcroft are just waiting for the DVLA form so it can be swapped back to it's original plate. I'll pull over for a chat if I see you.
Got it from Holdcroft at Crewe,only got it on Tuesday and the sale went through ok - not dealt with them aftersales yet though. I've been on the cliosport website for a bit and yes I've heard some horror stories withe Renault dealers.
Hi Nick
Living just off the bottom of Park Lane,how about you ?
I've def seen 2 about town and see another now and again. Must have seen you about - you've probably seen me - had a Racing blue cup?
