    Confused at lighter socket!

    £12 in Halfords, only really need it for the occasional charge and with my test and insurance cost coming up, every little saved helps! Opted for the cheaper option on eBay instead but just ordered a different one with two USB ports this time, a Griffin one that i'd say is more genuine than the...

    Confused at lighter socket!

    Was quite cheap yeah, that'd explain it not working at all just don't get why it would work on every other car I've tried it on really. At least it sounds like its saving me from smelling it!

    Confused at lighter socket!

    Belkin one I found sticks out around 1CM on every car I've tried it on now - Not sure whats different about my lighter socket or if maybe the bottom of this Belkin one is different? Will post some pics up on Monday of the exact charger.

    Confused at lighter socket!

    Tried that, to the extent where I snapped the plastic to bend the pins out even further!

    Confused at lighter socket!

    Basically I went and bought one of those Belkin USB to cigarette lighter adapters off eBay, as pictured below. All was going well, it arrived and I thought it looked good quality and seemed like a great purchase until I plugged it into the Clio. I've got a Mk3, and for some reason this doesn't...

    Jacking Up A 1.2 Clio Mk3 For A Beginner?

    Got the trolley jack and the axle stands :) I just tried jacking the car up and it went well, felt quite sturdy. Where would you put the axle stands? If i'm jacking up with the jack point on the car pictured above? I basically just want to give the wheel arches a good clean as they haven't been...

    Jacking Up A 1.2 Clio Mk3 For A Beginner?

    Would it have to go into the groove at all or just sit generally around that area? (Novice at this!)

    Jacking Up A 1.2 Clio Mk3 For A Beginner?

    Will admit I have bought enough black paint to correct it afterwards when I probably realize it doesn't look great! Would still like to see how it looks though :) Thanks for that, i'm going to use a trolley jack to jack the car up, so as this doesn't have the shape the Renault one does, what...
