XENON HID lamps do not have a filament. Instead the light is created by an electrical discharge between two electrodes in an air tight tiny quartz capsule filled with xenon gas, mercury and metal halide salts. This improves durability as road vibrations can cause damage to coil lighting...

it's a discharge light, far more efficient than the standard halogens and consume less power once ignited. But as for the point...? erm...dunno! lol!

that's the one James, knew i'd seen it knocking about on the forum! :approve:

That plate is assigned to a Mk2 Clio V6 mate and indeed it does look sweet! :approve: :cool:

mines...well i'm sure you can all guess! lol! ;)

^^ it's a Clio forecourt! lol!

does it leak day in day out or is it simply after the temperature drops below freezing mate? Maybe it's simply down to the washer freezing up?

FPMSLMAO :race: :rofl:

Oh boy, if only i'd managed to sell mine, this is sooo tempting and the best colour by far! :approve: eBay link :star:

Spotted outside Blockbuster in Colne about 30 mins ago. Reg was FH05 *** (i think!) Black/Gold 182 but looked naked without the cup packs! :nono: Pic here

kwik-fit are discounted on Conti's at the momente. 15% off 2 or 25% off when you buy 4. Keeps the price down nicely. Think it runs till end of november.

if you're disconnecting the battery you should really take the +ve terminal off too. 1, As for how long I would presume 15 to 30 mins would be enough. 2, The code will be needed if it's the standard renault job. 3, Shouldn't due to internal memory/battery etc.

the code for gris iceberg (Iceberg Grey) is 77 01 422 387 as supplied here so I believe the paint is correct, it's just upto it's usual crap standard of colour match mate.

agreed, but otherwise a lovely car mate with top mods! :approve:

could be a UCH issue, like you say probably best to get it on the clip to see what's going on.

I would check the main earth to the starter motor/engine block mate. Mine went shabby and I couldn't start mine either.

1, probably ignition coil as you say mate, common on them there 172's! 2, the sensors never seem to work, check out this thread about this issue. Atleast 3/4 people have the exact same problem at any given time! 3, sorry no ideas on the climate mate Oh and welcome to the club :clap:

yes, well mine's been ok for a year now. ;)

Mondial blue, it reads TE D43 as oppose to TED 43

yeah that should be repairable looks like surface damage only?

totally ruin the look of a car :dead:

mine's a 51 on a 02 plate, 46K miles, no mechanical problems whatsoever, and electrically has been sound for nearly 3 years of ownership! Not all Clio's are bad, trust me!!!

toxic fume sensor, no idea what causes it mate but probably need replacing, plenty people on here have had this! Sure someone will be along soon... ;) You tried switching off and restarting?

lol, so windscreen sorted out mate?

Relatively easy, although i've never done one on a 172. iirc I did mine from underneath but it's some years ago now. It does need tentioning so always best to have someone who knows do it.

doubtful with the squeaking you've described. More likely the belt slipping.

the aux belt will also run the power steering pump, hence why if it's slipping it will be hard to turn the wheel. Also by doing this you'll be putting excess strain on the steering rack. The aux belt is often referred to as the fan belt, but in reality drives the auxillary items (power steering...

does the light come on then stay on unless you fiddle with the handbrake? Or does it go off on it's own? If your pads are worn then this will cause the light to illuminate because as the pads ware down the more fluid there is in the braking system and the less is stored in the reservoir.

Reet, here's the deal guys... I am currently 24 years old and my birthday is January 28th. My current insurance expires on 24th December, meaning that I will be 25, 1 month and 4 days after my policy renews. This makes a difference to my renewal believe me! So, I plan on getting a 1 month policy...

there is 2 removal tools yes, but in reality all you need is 2 small pieces of wire (coat hanger) bent into 'U' shapes to fit into the removal holes at each side of the stereo.
