Basically, I need some advice when cleaning my car, there's so many threads on here with different answers and different questions, but I just want to ask my own for help. I've just been using off the shelf cheap products so far to clean my car. I've been so basic with the process too, Wash off...

Just seen you've refurbed them, maybe it's because they're the grey ones, black ones make such a difference!

Headlights could do with a little refurb and polish mate, other than that, looking really smart

I'll give it a go!

Where are the earths?! I'll take a look

Just travelled somewhere in and was following my dad and he told me upon arriving that my right side light was coming on and then going off quickly, I have put led side lights in if that's anything and also automatic lights is switched off. Any suggestions?!

Oh whoops, what's the difference between rotary and dual action?! Hmm, that's very true! I'm like super tight at the minute haha! I'm going to keep looking! Which das6 pro is it? There's more than one I see on that website? Also what's the discount we get, I would look but wifi is being awful...

You're probably right with that, but I just think it will be a long long time before I can afford one you see

Would anything like one of these 2 be any good? https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B004SBPLOM/?tag=cliospnet01-21 https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B004WNPLNC/?tag=cliospnet01-21

Can't really afford that just yet, just a dual action buffer which does everything for cheap, probably a lot to ask for that?!

Just sent that, big shame. Well I'm looking for something under £80 but good quality really!

You got a link mate?

That seems pretty good, very cheap too! What's it like? Cheers mate, that narrows it down a lot!

I'm sure there's already a thread for this, sorry if there is. But I'm looking to buy a machine buffer, I understand there's a DA buffer, rotary buffer and another one? What's the best kind of one too go for? I've heard that Meguiar's G-100 Dual Action Polisher is one of the best, but that's a...

Thanks mate! Pretty pleased with it, came out a lot better than I thought it would! Didn't take too long either

Yeah I was looking at that last night funnily enough! Looks so much nicer without the plate, just so big! I'm tempted

Sounds like a dodgy one then! Yeah I know tell me about it thank you! It wasn't so much the lacquer that was hard to blend on the wheel arch it was the actual base coat colour which I struggled with! I widened the area so I didn't get a hard edge on the paint, and because I focused the paint...

@notfastnotfurious Christ really, Must of been giving it quite a hard time? Yeah it sorted out fine, purely because I used those wipes without thinking! Was so annoyed with myself about that thanks for your help though! Moisture didn't seem to be a problem after all that

Update 2 of 2. Finding the funds to do the sport front bumper wings and side skirts seemed way off So I set about colour coding my front strips myself, they all just popped out, wasn't a bumper off job like many people say! Was actually pretty easy I couldn't stand the plastic look, that faded...

Yeah I've heard they aren't the simplest of things to fit! What I'm worried about really if I get stuck I'll drop you a PM that alright pal? I'll get a blind panda in to do it then Cheers mate

Update 1 of 2. Decided to sort out some of the dodgy bodywork at the weekend, brought some P38 (great stuff) and paint from AutoPaints.com! The match for Pearl Black is incredibly spot on! If that even makes sense So glad I followed many of the people's advice on here! Baring in mind I've...

A lot of people have mentioned the fresh plates thing, but to be honest with you I don't see much of difference in it? Yeah I wasn't sure about lowering it but I am now, I plan to get some Eibach pros, heard very good things about them! Just looking for some spacers where I can use my bolts...

Just rolling started it and took it too a local garage, it's booked in for Monday now. Started fine after stopping at the garage too! I'll post in here the outcome!

Yeah that's a good thought. I'm the same, however my second car won't be a 182 I'm sure! There's the possibility I'll get one in the future but not as a second car! I have better plans for that. There would be only so much you could take from the 1.2 to 182! We'll see, just in a low about it all.

We are definitely in the same boat then haha! But won't you get more for it now compared to a few years time?

Good thought, cars doing my head in at the minute, in a low! Kinda in 2 minds as to whether to get something more reliable and sell the Clio! Is it really worth all this hassle I ask myself

Doesn't the fuel pump prime when ignition is turned on? It isn't possible to hear the quiet pump when it's turning over. I just tried spraying fuel into the throttle body while engine was turning over but that didn't work either, I hear the pump priming when ignition is turned yes, been starting...

Okay after cleaning the spark plugs, changing the sensor, my car was running smoothly and started every day since this post, come to my car today and it won't start! Help? Not crank sensor, not spark plugs. It's turning over fine. Battery is good!

I was always dreading getting to this point. Exactly how I feel, is it worth carrying on or better worth leaving it and saving for better car. Some guy said to me the other day, whatever you do to it it'll still be a 1.2, that's what got me thinking! We are in the same boat mate, hmm...

In a bit of a pickle now. I'm now I'm two minds whether to call it a day with the Clio and just leave it how it is, and save for next car in like 3 years time or continue working on mine and still get a car In 3 years time. I'm sure many of you on here hit this stage, a bit of advice would be...
