    Wiper mechanism revamp?

    @MarcB gave me a good tip when I did mine - before you start, put masking tape along the windscreen where the wiper blades are and draw a line along the blade on to the masking tape so you know the natural position of the wipers. Makes it a hundred times easier when refitting them.

    Just purchased a low mileage 172 CUP

    Completely agree. It will hold its value, no doubt about that. Lovely car.

    No experience myself but there is a product called CeriGlass by Carpro and you can also get special glass pads for a polisher. It would probably take an eternity to get the scratches out though, if they even come out. £40 for the product and pads + 3 hours work Or just pay your windscreen...

    Faulty Clio mk 5 fuel guage

    Does your fuel needle also drop really quickly once you get to about 1/5 left, like you can actually see it drop to almost empty.

    Faulty Clio mk 5 fuel guage

    I have this in my MK4 Clio. It does exactly what you say. If it helps don't be too worried about the range, I tested mine by driving around with a jerry can of fuel to see what the actual range is once the light comes on and I got about 80 miles, even though it said ---- left

    Hats off to you, that is stunning. Still a quicker build project than Project Binky.

    Hesitation on acceleration - Clio 3 R/S 200

    They all have this, you just have to be fast at catching it with the clutch. Its annoying and only real way of fixing it is to remap it.

    Clio 172 reverse lights

    Yes, it will probably be the reverse sensor that sits on the gearbox. The sensor is just a microswitch that I believe bridges the contact when you put the gear in to reverse. You could unplug the cable from the sensor - then use a paper clip to bridge the two contacts on the cable and see if the...

    Help needed please

    Its a 20 minute job removing the dash clocks on this, you just have to pry away the black plastic cowling that surrounds the clocks and then unscrew the few bolts holding the dash clocks. You can then take the dash clock apart and see if there is anything obvious causing it not to light up the...

    New Member Clio RS 200 in sunny Gibraltar

    That looks incredible ! That is the perfect car for the roads around there. Definitely don't lower or go for hard coilovers as the roads are better suited to oem suspension. I was in Gibraltar last week for a bit and stayed near Los Barrios. There are hardly any nice cars in that part of Spain...

    Caliper handbrake mechanism

    They are a b*****d to reassemble. Took me days of messing to get it back together. Once you have the concave washers in place try and get the handbrake arm through one hole, press down on one side of the washers and try and slide the arm over the edge of them,then pry down on the washers with...
