Do you mean shorts blades? They’re going to be shorter at both ends, of just the top of the window

Is it really the Clio 5 though? Looks more like a face lifted Clio 4.

I’ve still got an ELM327 from when I had my 197. I’ve got a mk2 1.2 now, are there any specific apps that are recommended for this type of car for reading and clearing codes. There’s no lights at the minute but I’d like to have one ready for when it happens. I’ve had other cars where model or...

I thought there was only a reverse light on the passenger side and the drivers side is the fog light?

Just go to your own insurer. Why go to theirs and hand control of the repairs over to the people that are paying for it? Your insurance company should (in theory) be looking after the claim and ensuring it’s done to the correct standard. They will then be reimbursed by the insurance of the at...

I had the same issue recently as mine is 58mm spacing and I didn’t want to ruin the ride as it’s a daily run about. I considered standard shocks so if that’s what you’re after then Kam Racing have new Bilstein B4 for the fronts for £40 a side. I ended up ordering some Supersport Sprint springs...

I’ve just been reading this whole thread from the start. Good going getting it to where it is now. I’ve got a 56 plate 1.2 that seems to be about the same spec. Never seen one before, no rear headrests, manual mirrors, no rear speakers but it has air con. It’s just a run about so I have no...

Have you been to a garage to sit in another automatic mk4 yet?

I’ve only had vibratechnics ones and they were fine once you’ve done say a thousand miles with them. A bit unpleasant for that early stage but in my opinion it’s worth it.

The engine mounts will make the gear changes so much smoother but will compromise comfort at first with some vibration until they settle. Alternatively just change them for new standard ones

Updated engine mounts

Does the window go up

Go to a garage with a mk4 Clio and have a sit in

I take it it doesn’t have cruise control?

Have you tried a replacement interior light unit? They’re cheap and might solve the problem if there’s an issue inside the unit

It’s a case of trying to figure out where it’s coming from first so I’d suggest taking it to a reputable garage for them to have a look.

What size is the front plate? Looks about 100mm deep

Just been on checking out lot, thankfully all clear

Replied to say the car did have damage but wasn’t recorded on HPI. They also said the car had sold, wonder if I’d have got a different answer if it was for sale? They didn’t state the amount of damage but I also didn’t ask for that detail so can’t complain about that.

Just asked the question. Listing is dodgy anyway, judging by the language used I’d say they have a low IQ or English isn’t their first language. Listed by Pellonmotorz but description is showing as MS Cars (Halifax). Which is it? I’d say it’s a one man dealer where many of these are selling...

Love stuff like this. You got any pictures of the interior now it’s all clean? How hard were the front and rear belts to remove?

Been buying a dash cam with a parking mode. I primarily want to hardwire it in as I don’t want any wires on display but might as well make use of the parking mode as it’s there too. I’ll therefore need a permanent live. Will the wiring for the interior light be enough to take this or do I need...

Is it anything to do with these insurance policies where if the car is in an accident in the first 6/12 months then the car is replaced with a new one? The amount of damage may not be enough to warrant a total loss but the car is taken away.

Any mk2 5 door will fit. A 3 door will be too long

Have you checked all of the inlet from the air filter onwards. What filter is it?

I used someone from the 197/200 forum in the past, they probably used a similar kit. Just had a look on the Biggred website and it’s awful on a phone, I’ll look on something bigger later.

I’ve got a set of Brembo calipers that need powder coating. When everything comes apart they may also need seals and/or pistons although the car drives fine so nothing to suggest his is the case. Does anyone on here do these?

Up until I got another Clio I was using a Supercharged V8 Range Rover as my daily. 16mpg around town meant I needed something more economical for my longer commute now. It’s a big change swapping between the RR and a 1.2 Clio.

Wheelbase is exactly the same.

Must be if they’re 10mm apart surely
