    Black gold winter prep

    Right chaps - been reading up a little on DW and apparently Colli 476 shouldn't be layered on top of tripple as the solvent will affect the tripple underneath? Haven't got the funds right now for another wax so i'm thinking Tripple with carpro reload or AF tough coat on top? Or just will the...

    172 cup turbo - ebay

    The ad reads like a dealers ad - "part x welcome" "cash,card or bank transfer".

    Problem finally found with my 200

    Such a shame - lovely looking cars, but i'd never buy one for this exact reason.

    Build Quality Battle - 182 vs 197 ?

    I'd rather spend good money on a mint 182 rather than a cheap 197. I have driven both and found the 182 much more involving and fun to drive. If you don't like rattles and bits breaking/falling off then buy a VAG car. It's part of the charm ;) Owning a french hot hatch is character building...

    Alarm goes off randomly

    It's been happening to me a lot lately with the warmer weather. I believe there's a fix whereby you swap the cables around on the interior sensor to reduce the sensitivity. Sure i've seen it on here somewhere. TBH i just turn mine off when the weather gets warm.

    Cheapest place for scorpion/milltek/piper exhaust

    I'm shopping for a new exhaust. Not overly fussed between the three brands above. Best price I can find so far: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/CLIO-182-SCORPION-2-0-16V-CAT-BACK-EXHAUST-SRN019-/120702825231?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item1c1a72f30f Can anybody come up with better?

    Black gold winter prep

    Weathers on the turn so I need to give the clio a bath. Have been using the carlack and collinite kit from CYC. Durability is great but it doesn't do much for the swirls unfortunately. I'm looking for a paintwork cleaner similar to carlack that removes all the gunk but does a better job of...

    Water pump failures?

    30 in a year is a lot :(

    Water pump failures?

    Ach, I don't know what's best to be honest. Knowing my luck I'll leave it to save £150 then two weeks later the pump will let go.

    Water pump failures?

    They have a good rep - well known on here.

    Water pump failures?

    I'll be getting both belts and dephaser changed in the next couple of weeks. Did ask the garage that will hopefully be doing the work about changing the water pump but they reckon it won't need doing. Are water pump failures rare? Car has just turned 80,000 miles. Logic tells me that surely...

    The 'Where's my old Clio' Thread.

    I bought my black gold clio from a chap around Wrexham way called Joel back in November. BT05 FOK. Quite interested to see if it's known on here. Had CS sticker and tax disk holder when I bought it.

    Headlight cutting compund

    Had a go with the 3M headlight restoration kit yesterday but i'm a little disappointed with the results. Headlights still looking a little dull. Bit of a rush job on my part. Going to have another go today but I've got none of the cutting compound left. What can I use instead? Preferably...

    Hot Hatch article on PH; RS Clio content

    Biggest problem with today's hot hatches are that they are bloated by all the weight they have to carry and are stupidly overpowered. I want to rag the tits off a car on occasion and not be in license-loosing territory. How much of the megane's performance will you really exploit? Just...

    Alternative supplier for 3/4 size plates

    £2 - still expensive when there are people on ebay knocking out plates for £8

    Alternative supplier for 3/4 size plates

    I know fancyplates are popular but does anyone have a different supplier? £21.50 for single small number plate seems steep.

    Rear wiper arm removal tool?

    I tried the two spanner trick and it would't budge. Hacksaw made it an easy job. Done in 20 minutes.

    Dam alarm!!!

    Get out of the car. Close door. Go round to passenger side, open door, lean in and press the "door lock" button on the dash. Close passenger door and lock it with the key. Now all doors are locked but no alarm.

    Engine ballast/noise resonator thingy

    That's the one. Do you reckon I could get it out with everything else still in place?
