the plugs were from euro car parts, so a legit source, but they will definately be getting returned when the garage get the old plug out. The car is at the garage now, so they are gonna be dealing with getting the threaded part out. I put the plugs in myself, and I used the old trick of a length...

Yeah it doesn't look like there could be anything down in the cylinder, as I say the spark plug is perfectly in tact, just seperated into two pieces. I did think about it maybe being put in badly, but surely if this was the case, the whole plug would have blown out, not just seperated. There...

Argh, what a nightmare few weeks I've had with my clio. The car is a mk2ph1 clio 1.4 8v. On the way to work the other morning, everything was normal with the car, was running absolutely fine. I was cruising along in 5th at the NSL, and came to a reasonable hill with quite tight corners, so I...

Cheers for the very helpful replies guys, i'll drop you a line after the weekend. Thanks a lot

Hey guys, the gearbox on my mk2ph1 clio 1.4 8v is on it's way out sadly, according to the garage, at 74k. Now I won't be replacing it for a while hopefully, but in any case, the cost of buying and fitting a new gearbox is about the same as the value of the car, so my only real option is a second...

Other differences I've just remebered are the colour coded wing wirrors and dynamique spolier

Go down halfrauds, they will flog you some speaker cable that will be a great deal thicker than your current

What year is it mate? Mk2Ph1 I assume? If so it is the same car as mine. Same as a normal clio really, this is my second Mk2Ph1 clio. It has a different dash, mine had the uprated sound system (still not much cop), more supportive seats, half buckets but not leather, sunroof, still the same 1.4...

SPL = Sound pressure level, so SPL speakers will mean you have the loudest sound system on the block, but from your last post it looks like you want good quality too, so I reckon look for something good quality from a decent SQ brand. Tried Focal?

They do not look good, but I'm not speaking from experience. They seem to be a woofer and tweeter in one unit. A ford focus grille will not fit over this speaker. Sound quality will also be lower than you might expect with this kind of speaker, as normally in a car the tweeter will be placed on...

Did you look at the actual car there? A true Machine no doubt, but stunning, no way!

I am getting a stange creaking noise from the rear passenger side of my clio when i pull off the last few days, and also occasionally when changing gear below 4th when cold, seems to disappear when the engine is warm though which doesn't make any sense to me, as the engine isnt in the back...

Not necessarily, mine is 8 valve built in 2000, depends on the precise one he has

His car will be a 1.4 8v though, and there is no chip listed for that

You want to try and get the power cable through the bonnet release cable grommet, do a search on here it has been covered a lot, if it won't go, I drilled a hole in the firewall through to the enine bay and put my own grommet in it. Any other specific questions you need answered?
