Got serious issues with my car :( Keeps misfiring now and again and has been getting stuck at 2000 revs then after that going fine. Was coming up a hill today and it did it and started pouring out smoke :S Am thinking the EGR is kaput, cleaned it the other week and was fine until yesterday and...
Just come home from work an my engine started to rattle when im changin gear on the dci, opened the bonnet an theres a slight layer of black s**t in the engine coolant and it stinks like fish, gonna let the engine cool down and check the oil for mayo crap but i'm s**t scared of drivin to work...
Gettin rid of my 1.5dci, been to see a Pug206hdi today, but laughed when they only offered 1900 part ex for mine!!! Holdcrofts in Hanley got a 1.2 16v Extreme, bit optimistic on whether to go back to Petrol tho, as i do 33 miles a day to work. Plus side is though they don't mind swapping my 182...
Cleaned the EGR valve a few weeks back and changed the fuel filter, still gettin a big black soot mark on the floor when i push the accelerator right down, I'm not sure if thats really normal :S thinkin maybe the fuel injectors want sorting, or maybe I should really put some more thought into...
Lookin for a new set of front brake pads, got shitty halfrauds ones on at the mo, can hear me braking miles away the squeelin their doin! Got a feeling they're sticking too. Will prob get the back drums sorted while I'm at it too!
Arrived just before me, CS.net sticker in rear window. Maybe taking advantage of their 30% off Reno Servicing??? (Unlike me who forked out 140 quid for new coil springs :mad: )
Just started this afternoon after I went over a small speedbump, how that matters I dunno lol only does it if I go over big bumps in the road, wonderin if its my wishbone or suspension arm on the drivers side, gonna have to get a look underneath tomorrow :S
Took my dci down to Potteries Diesel this mornin, started smoking last night when cold outta the exhaust :dapprove: guys took the air system apart, that's fine, got a whole exhaust pipe of smoke comin out when acceleratin hard, so either the turbo or the cat? Trying to get it into Holdcroft...
Snow had melted before I got up, decided to wash my car and take some photos with the new grille on ;) Not much compared to a lot of others on there, but with time and money i'll get there :D
Got my RS grille, just wondering if it's a tricky job removing the old one and fitting the new one? I've had a look and to be honest all I need to do is unscrew the old one and clip in and screw the new one? Any tips would be appreciated :D
think it was J17 something headin down reginald mitchell way about 4pm noticed u while i was quein at the roundabout. think i spotted middo yesterday morning on the a500/a50 too, i went past doin a tad over the speedlimit :nono:
Had a problem last year with my rear light, the connections had coroded so had to retro-fit a whole new light, however it's gone again, haven't checked to see whether its corroded again, hoping it's just the bulb, anyone have probs like this? and is there any way to stop the damn thing from...
Spotted two in the space of about 30 seconds! You were heading out of Alderley Edge, flashed both, anyone on here? (If not I look like a silly bint flashing people LOL)
My hazard light switch is stuck! Won't press out when i press it which is kinda dangerous LOL Cause if i need to use em i'm screwed, i know a mate from work had the same prob on her clio she has a piece of card wedged in hers to keep it from poppin out :S anyone have any ideas??? lol
Had a bump last night :( got drivers side headlight scuffed and front grill is pushed in below the headlight, taken a look at the cross bar inside and its come up slightly, got the front skirtin popped out slightly on the driverside :( gettin it looked at tomorrow to c how much repairs gonna be...
Anyone know where i'd get a pair from for my car? Dad's gone to live in Spain and i'l be goin next year, thinkin about exportin the clio and i'd need some left hand headlights to get it re-registered onto Spanish plates, anyone know where i'd get em from???
Looking at swapping my Dynamique for a newer model, its on 92k atm, 53 plates. Checked on parkers and its worth about 3.5k according to them, got the following specs:
Billabong pack/metallic paint
A/C climate pack with auto wipers/headlights
Aftermarket double spoiler
Sport badges
I like...
Never posted any "proper" pics of my clio, gave her a clean today and took a few snaps :) (excuse the pink heart airfreshner, thought it looked pretty retro lol :o )
Tryin to find where the spoiler came from on mine, i think it was added after the guy b4 me bought it from new, cause ive never seen one on another clio, maybe once that was it, the only image i've found is this:

I'm not fortunate to have colour coded rears on mine, just wondered whether its worth sprayin em? Mine's pearl black not sure whether it'd make a difference at all? lol And are there any places round the midlands where they do it professionally? don't want any bodge jobs ;)
Just a query what the hell is that? lol Car went to be checked for MOT today, needs new CV joint, ball joints, 2 new tyres and a bulb went after I checked em all yesterday, lucky I had a full set for the front in my boot so the guy is fitting those 4 me. :S
Just bought myself full sets of Xenon bulbs for my headlights, I'm a bit of a novice at fitting bulbs (they're a pain in the a$$, I know that one) but do I have to have actual xenon lights for the bulbs? Mine are the standard clio headlights, bulbs are exactly the same as what's in now but i...
I defo need to replace my front discs and pads, have done for a while but I've noticed now its making a weird noise, to explain sounds like when a wagon stops an squeels or whatever, but it stops when I rub my foot on the brake pedal, I'm wonderin whether its the pads that have dried out an are...
