Ok so ive just been asked what my first car was and to help i was searching for a picture of one, Then i found this!!!!

Just caught sight of you leaving the roundabout, possible albi blue, maybe a gordini edition.

Dropped it at the dealers this morning, but in typical French style it was silent when I first started it. I'm already worried about letting someone loose with it so I informed the young lady it was trackered. She asked if I had a dash cam as it would need to be disabled before it went into the...

OK I'm going to throw my thoughts in here. You say it's passed a sniff test, that's great but as I've learned over the years, these sniff testers are fantastic but not 100% sure fire way of diagnosing issues like this. K-seal is a good product but I have pulled engines apart that have been...

So this morning the car started making whining noise. Goes when it warms up but comes back after a few hours when it's cooled down. Caught a little video of it, personally I'm thinking water pump (worst case) but it's not leaking yet or alternator. What's your thinking?

I received a call from a worried halfords customer about 6 months ago, he wanted advice or reasons as to why halfords were charging him for head removal, gasket and 16 valves after he took his car in for a turbo replacement. I honestly don't know how they managed to screw the timing by changing...

as an old friend of mine once said, "Yes there is always someone who can the job cheaper, But at what cost?"

There is an rb200 on a street near me, usually see it when leaving for work and when coming home. Anyone here in Wakefield, ossett

Behind me at the traffic lights about 2 weeks ago opposite killingbeck police station? i was in the racing blue 200

This on goes down york road regular, hes been behind me before and i gave him a flash of hazards and he gave me a toot so he seemed friendly but not appeared on here yet.

Does anybody know where i can get my hands on the carbon fibre spoiler tips? they appear to be rarer than rocking horse s**t Ktec dont seem to list them on the site :( I have done a forum search but not finding what im after.

Checked it, kept it. No damage has been done other that the damage to my trust in dealerships and the retards who work in them, barring the handful of good techies out there. Oh and my fingers after writing furious letters and emails!. But yeah your right, had I seen damage on the inlet, valves...

deffo need some tyres, going to run these crap budgets off first.

Still working on a letter.

Yep totally get that, daft thing is I've been a vehicle technician for 10 years or so and I would have told anyone else to take it straight back. I find having some knowledge and knowing what to look for settles my mind about it but doesn't excuse what happened. I have satisfied my mind for...

Luckily the gearbox was sent out for repair, have all invoices for that, gunnar see how it goes for a week and get the scope in there again to be sure.

Had the bore scope in there today, no sign of any damage muck or debris, valves and seats look fine too. It's just had the gearbox refurbished so I would imagine it was removed then. Still not sure what to do with it but I do feel much better now I have seen the insides. Don't get me wrong I'm...

So just out of interest i thought i would check what air filter my car has, Imagine how F****D off i was to discover its not got one at all!!! Only bought the thing on friday from evans halshaw. All i can think is that the previous owner traded it in and removed the aftermarket panel filter...

Yeah I'm pretty much same as you guys, 34 , Mrs and kid but love small fast cars. Don't get me wrong I will happily put the boot down where and when I feel it safe and appropriate to do so. But I will not get involved in blatant dangerous driving.

Wakefield

done a tank of fuel in tonight, decided to give it a run to the coast. Fantastic little car, not sure what exhaust is fitted but it sounds lovely. The one issue i do have is that it seems to attract both good and bad attention. Good being the people that want to admire it and bad being the one...

Only a few hours to go until before im driving this bugger home :D

Been doing some digging today, turns out the clio used to be on a private plate Does V18 SPB ring any bells with anyone?

Dont honestly know, just panicking because its my first dealer purchase.

I just hope nothing falls through with the deal! Cant get it untill saturday as i only left half the needed deposit fingers crossed i find out wednesday if all is ok I have already insured the thing :p

Does putting spacers on the rear affect handling? Sure I read somewhere that they don't respond well to it

Well I bought it, collecting it next Saturday. Full service history, cam belt and dephaser done 20 thousand miles ago. Brand new gearbox fitted last week. Should be fantastic.

I went to test drive it 2 week ago and when I got there the car was on a ramp with no gearbox as it was sent for repair

Hi all im new on here, been on the facebook page a month or so just browsing. Anyhow the reason for this post is basically fishing for anyone who has information on a particular clio 200 i have my eye on. My main interest is history, reason for trading in and of course if there is anything...
