Matt's too far away mate stays in irvine,ayrshire.Ive found another engine and someone who can fit one but just need to know if the megane engine is the same as the clio one,anyone know the engine codes?

My mate has a 52 plate clio 1.4 16v,was in at renault getting coil changed and asked the spanner monkey to have a look at the timing belt,was given the reply "its ok mate,dont need it at 55k" sure enough 3 days later it went,renault quoted nearly 5k for a new engine but is the engine the same...

And i/gf have to take some of the blame on the wheels sorry bud lol

Just picked up a clio 16v with a problem,turn the key it turns over but wont catch,floor the throttle and it will but you have to keep the pedal planted to get it to just tick over so its undrivable,anyone any ideas where to start,cheers

An astra sri 190,its quicker than the clio but at the end of the day its just another astra.Leave it in a car park it looks like all the other cars,the clio stood out a mile.

And i still regret selling it,looks good still

What the hell is a fly by wire throttle?Apparently thats what my car has and i dont have a clue what it means :confused:

Glad your enjoying my car!!!Seriously though that was one of the hardest things ive done watching you drive out of my street and away with MY car,still havent got over not seeing it in the driveway every morning :(

I dont think id want to be doing 165 mph in a saxo,120 is bad enough

Dont need to rev to draw attention,not enough power to break traction and cant afford forkin out for 215 and 225 pirellis every 2 months even if i did!Around my way old astras and cavaliers are wheelspin kings.

Make sure the heater is turned to red and the air con isnt on

A******e with spraypaint,polished out of the body work and glass but cant get it off the wheels,thought about brake fluid or nitromors but they are quite extreme

Its just muck and dirt,shouldnt use it to get to work and back,quite impractical needs cleaned cos it really is a state:(

Need to clean my front seats and carpets cos theyre manky,what products can people recommend that actually work?Also need to remove paint from alloy wheel without damagig the laquer and pain underneath,any help much appreciated

I know LAD are not very well respected here but i have to go on what ive seen in the flesh(or metal/plastic) my old ax gt was lad prepared,i got it from my mate and it was independantly rrd at 108bhp (mate claimed 120bhp),standard was 85 and it was a little rocket up to 70 so they do...
