Well whatever you say mate but i thought it was on late 16v and williams.

Methyl blue is the paint trade name for the colour (used to work at paint shop) , its the common dark blue pearl they used on the late 16v and williams Dont know the dealership colour name, someone will though....

Anybody got any idea what my dad will get for his 03 reg Clio 172 sport, Its only just done 10k and obviosly hasnt even had its first service yet, hes had it from new and its immaculate. I have no pics but just think what a methyl blue 172 looks like as it leaves the showroom and youll be about...

Some guy came in to my shop today (autopaint, leicester) and ordered some special effect paint for his car. He was very fussy about it and so i asked him what he was painting. He said " Dimma Clio with a Cosworth engine!". Told him to bring it down when its done so ill try and get some...

Cheers all, Gonna get it sorted coz its pizzing me off.

before anyone says- i mean "can you get"

Can you can an adapter lead so the stork controls for the stereo are not useless. I heard you can. The stereo is a Kenwood Mask (about 2 year old)

is it easy to get at?

My cooling fan dont seem to be kicking in so can anyone answer me the following little posers. Where is the fan switch? where should the fan kick in on the temp gauge? Could it be anything else, I darent use it in case i cook the engine in traffic! By the way, Ive checked the fuse!

Use a Tack Rag from a automotive paint shop - £3.25 a box in our shop. Ideal for getting dust off your interior plastic and the white powder you get on the outside after polishing. works dead well.

Waiting for mine, paid full price as well coz lost my members card! Small internal one as well. Someone was on about making silver and gold ones on here, did they ever come about.

I agree, Clios appeal to a lot of age groups. We have 3 at home, My 16v, my sister has a 1.4RT and my folks have a 03 reg 172.

If its using a lot of oil, it could be: Worn piston rings (Blue smoke everywhere) Worn VALVE STEM SEALS ( whats valve steam oil sills? no such bloody thing) Oil leak.

The only thing is, its done that flickering since ive had it but its only just started runnig crap....

not many engines are gonna fit the original box?
