    What have you done to your car today ???

    Stunning wheels, love them! Love the blue bolts too to be honest. Today, well strictly last night, I replaced my wiper motor as it was going faulty and rarely worked, normally only on the highest setting, and occasionally stopped working leaving the wipers in the middle of the windscreen...

    Front Wipers

    Hi, Looked at my clio a while ago and the drains were blocked, submerging the wiper motor. Unblocked them and for a couple of months all was well, however now, my wipers have stopped working. The wipers slowed right down and only worked on their fastest setting for a while, but when you turn...

    Squeaking window seal :(

    My window seal squeaks really badly when you open and close the drivers window, its so annoying! Embarrassing when you're sitting at the lights and its all quiet and you go to put your window up... Anyone got any ideas how I can fix this? A quick Google suggests silicone spray which I tried...

    Mk3 acceleration hesitation

    Mine does it a bit when cold but never when warmed up, its like described as a bit of a flat spot. You put your foot down and it doesn't really rev, then kicks in and accelerates. Is this just because it's a 1.2? Never really thought about it until this thread to be honest.

    B3NCHYS SILVER MK3 PROGRESS THREAD!

    Never heard of the stickers thing tbh, if they work then fair enough but still projectors would be the best way to go

    B3NCHYS SILVER MK3 PROGRESS THREAD!

    A nice start but a couple of things, first those are reflector headlights aren't they? Isn't that dangerous putting HIDs in them as they dazzle other drivers? Secondly, is your scuttle panel and top mount covers missing? Guessing you just took them off for the pic! Don't forget to clean out...

    Pain in the arse Parrot kit!

    A quick update! Soldered the screen back on and noticed the red pin in the plug had come out. So, plugged that back in and it all works now! The stereo screen even turns off and on! Now just to wire it up in the car.

    Need your guys help!

    I don't get how those work, surely if the bottom of the wheel is further out when you've fit those spacers, surely then when the wheel rotates the top would be further out, and so on, causing the cars wheels to be all over the place :s am I being stupid? Haha

    Pain in the arse Parrot kit!

    Nope :( On a side note! I love you all for your help! (In a heterosexual way), just wired it up to a spare PC power supply I had lying around, worked first time! So obviously that's where the fault lies :) just got two minor things to sort now... Firstly, anyone know how I can get the...

    Pain in the arse Parrot kit!

    Ah ill be trying that soon then :) the orange and the red are ignition and permanent live aren't they? What colour would the ground be? That still leaves the problem of the screen not turning off when the stereo goes off too :(

    Gearbox oil

    Yep that's the stuff got a 5l bottle of it in the garage from filling up my clio!

    Pain in the arse Parrot kit!

    Could be an idea... Would the parrot kit do anything if I just connected 12v to the right wires? Could run it off a spare PC power supply I have if so and test it

    Retrofitting one touch windows

    Thanks for the offer that's very kind of you! :) I got the switch from a Renault Laguna as it looked identical and had one touch and fit in the handle, the plugs different though! It's the drivers side one touch window switch, the physical plugs the same there's just one extra plastic tab...

    Pain in the arse Parrot kit!

    Put the radio back and it all works fine, still stuck about the Parrot kit though!

    Pain in the arse Parrot kit!

    Just works off the ISO leads I believe, you plug the two leads into two plugs and then these plug into the stereo.

    Tried that but no luck :(

    Pain in the arse Parrot kit!

    Okay so I took out the stereo, and plugged it all in and as far as I can tell it should work fine... But, when you turn the stereo off it still says the radio station/whatever it said before on the screen, and the Parrot kit won't turn on :( Help? Shouldn't have started this in my lunch...

    Very low MPG

    Timing might be out? Has it had a belt change recently?

    Parrot Kits

    Ah I wasn't sure if you'd have to declare it because wouldn't it be appealing to theives? Also I've got a Mk3 so not too sure where to mount everything, might put it behind the hazard/lock buttons I think theres a compartment there you can use but not too sure! Just need to try it first and see...

    Rear number plate bulb

    All the festoon bulbs in my clio measure 38mm, so I used 36mm bulbs, but you could fit a 39mm one in there easily I'd imagine.

    Retrofitting one touch windows

    Hi, My clio doesn't have one touch window switches on it at the moment, but I got some switches from a clio at the breakers for both drivers side and passenger side with the extra one touch bit. My question is this, can I simply connect up the new switches and have one touch windows? Do I...

    Good placement! I'm thinking now either that or right hand air vent, How'd you find the kit? Not even turned it on yet!

    Laquer

    Hi all, I got a touch up pen today, and while it's for a different colour car, I was wondering there seems to be a couple of bits of damaged laquer on the car, chips and scratches where the colours still there but it's quite a scratch, can I fill this in with the laquer? If so how would be...

    Parrot Kits

    Picked myself up a Parrot CK3100 kit from a Citroen at the breakers, and have a few questions. Where has everyone mounted the screen in their clios? Not sure where the best place would be! I assume I'd have to declare the kit to my insurance? Is the wiring all going to be right as its...

    UCH issue

    Theres one near the gearbox iirc? Also might be worth checking the relays and cleaning them with contact cleaner
