Spent all day cleaning it, inside and out. Went over to my brother's to use his machine polisher, was very good! Car was looking nice (still need to sort the front bumper out and get some funds up to get the wheels powder coated orange as I love the orangeness of them!) And then this happens on...

^^ this. I know the Pugeot 106 has them as standard (pretty certain) as my brother had them on his. Bonnet opened at near 90deg too. And then he lowered the bonnet and sat it on a section of 12" aluminium box sectiom (like a table leg) to have it open a jar for shows. Mght be able to bodge...

Very BTCC Laguna style. And very nice!!!!

If this happens to me I am making a mount for the child seat to fit where the rear seats used to be, not getting rid of the bucket seats. This could also be one reason why my mum is terrified if I ever have a child.

^^ This. Saying that I did have Viper stripes on my....wait for it....Fiat Cinquecento! But I was taking the mick with it as I also had "899cc and trying my hardest" in massive letters in my back window. My Skoda I did it two was two different sized off centre ones. Do feel that stripes add...

My car goes through fine without air bags, bucket seats and harnesses. I am sure as long as the seats are fitted properly and not going to fly out then its not an issue. The air bag thing is as long as the air bag light is off then it is fine. And it is door bars on roll cages that are...

stripes are cool. Just make sure it is a good job otherwise it looks shocking. Making them is easy, the first time I put stripes on a car I just bought a roll of Fablon and cut it into lengths. The second car I bought pre cut ones. Clio is the first car I am not putting them on

I know my temp sender has been a bit wrong for a while as when it got just above normal opperating temp the fan would kick in and the dial would drop to zero and then when it got colder at normal temp the fan cuts out and the dial goes back to normal, but the dial has always dropped to zero and...

Did it in about 6-7seconds....not sure my counting was accurate though, ideally need someone sat next to me with a stop watch. Engine is standard too and in need of an oil change as well.

Could have had a previosu plate change as on the V5 when I got it is said "registration cannot be tansfered" which apparently is what they say if it has had a plate previously on it before. It is definately not an import

About to tip 150k on my Ph1 which is about 10k miles a year-ish. Looked after and an oil change every 10k miles and belts doen at the correct intervals.

"Are you sure this is the right registration" I didn't ask at the time whether it was possible to add it to their systems, would have been pointless as I didn't have thr chassis number on me

Only remebered about this while in bed last night (the things I think about trying to sleep!!) and need to get it sorted. Went to get some parts for the Clio from Renault and they couldn't find the car on the old or current number plate, didnt have the car on my to look at the chassis number...

My gargles when it is cold, like pulling off in the morings and lifting off in 1st going down the road or work car park. However, apparently I have a hole in my exhasut as my emissions were on the limit on the last MOT test but the tester couldn't actually find it. But once it warms up it makes...

This. lol

The Elf stickers on your mirrors are sick, I do like them a lot. Nice mirror colour too ;)

Mine used to go off when I was driving it. No idea why it did that

I am going to swap my fog lights out and put in some air ducts, but I don't have any of the tools on me (a torx bit) to take them out to measure them, as I want to buy all the stuff and then go to my parents to fit/mod them. I was going to put this in the fog light surround and then run a...

I used a blow torch to get mine off, and a big screw driver

Love my Ph1. Would so have another. Great on track and a good car to drive daily, motorway driving is easy and still returns ~40mpg. Mine is a little impractical as its stripped out, but that is my fault! Picked mine up for £750 from my step dad. But the cam belt did need changing and a good...

I like the F1's. Mine were black before orange, but they look better in a lighter colour IMO as the black tyres sets them off and you can see the spokes, before it looked like I just had dished wheels from a distance.

Bit scared of Camp after I spun it onto the infield (no damage as I didn't hit anything) and I always back off before Quarry just in case, but was very surprised how quick the Clio is around there; but previous cars I have driven around are a Triumph 2000 with a BMW engine in, aka a boat, and it...

I have a chip in mine and a massive crack in the lower left corner...passes through the MOT tet though so not fussed atm. When I upgrade my insurance to fully comp next month I am going to get it replaced. Also mine is covered in crap like in the glass, the only thing I can think its like is...

need a 3.3ohm resistor to shove in the air bag connector to turn the air bag light off

Yes, drove my step dad's kit car on track which was an animal. And my brother's old 106 which was pushing 180bhp (did have it rolling road'd to prove this) and that was rapid. Yes, I understand the diesel has a lot more torque, you can't really beat a 535d!! (if only I could afford one!) it...

Does say "98ron recommended" on mine too. Wasn't sure if the extra cost of the fuel is balanced by the improved economy to continue running it. Although it did have a sharper throttle response but again not sure if that was like a placebo effect. Oh yeah, its shocking at low revs!! Pulling away...

Yeah I wouldn't normally be worried about other people's cars but this time I just got concerned about the health of mine, don't often get something I can use as a benchmark to see how mine is performing, I just want it running crisp and smooth as running too much power will be a handful for a...

After the near epic fail of my MOT test I need some new lights as the O/S one is misaligned and no idea how or why. Its the the LHD/RHD adjustment, it is as if the reflector bit is broken as the kick of the light goes completely the wrong way. I am not a fan of the original ones off the Ph1...

I was going with a little more power he had but I am carrying a lot less weight so thought it could have been an even match, but again he did continue past the 70mph mark and not sure how hard he was trying, my exit of the roundabout was effortless and sure I could have pushed harder if I wanted...

Think I could be down on power and not sure why. I only think this as I came off a roundabout in a flamboyant manner the other day (2nd gear all the way up to the red line into 3rd before 5th as it was in a 70mph limit and stayed at 70) and the diesel Mondeo ST in front (56 plate it was) just...
