Hi All, Got my Bean a few week back now and it is due the belts doing. Was wanting to take it down to Mick at Diamond but it may be a bit too far, wondering if there's any decent and trustworthy places near to home (Leeds) that I can take it? Thanks

Hi all, Just bought my 182 a few weeks ago, came to take one of the wheels off to easily measure the hub spacing and it turns out I don't have a wheel wrench/brace/whatever they're called. Tried my other halfs 206 wrench but they weren't shifting so need something a bit longer to get a bit more...

Hi all, So, seeing as though my 182 has come with what can only be described as a couple of bricks instead of springs for suspension, I'm looking into getting some coilovers. Had AP's on my A3 and they were brilliant for the money. Looking at the Clio ones, it seems as though some have a...

Hi All, Quick question, replacing back box on my other halfs 206 at the weekend. What's the best stuff to use for sealing the joint? Sealant or Putty? Thanks

Hi All, Just a quick question. Going to look at a 182 at the weekend and looking at the past MOT history, in 2012 and 2013 an advisory was noted under 'Alternator belt perished+ crack.' However this wasn't apparent on the 2014 MOT. Now the owner says he will lower price as belts need doing and...

Hi all, Been after an Inferno 182 for a while now and need one ASAP as I'm currently using my other halfs car. I'm looking for a FF with full service history but most that seem to be available aren't FF or are over £3000! Seen this one on eBay...

Hi, Just in the process of buying a black car (I know they're a pain the arse to keep clean!) and the trouble is, I don't really know where to start with making the car spot on. The only car I've owned has been Silver so with the Werkstat Acrylic kit, has been very easy to keep on top of...

Hi, Basically, I've had my car (51 plate 1.2 Dynamique) since I passed my test which was around 2 years ago. Its served me well but due to a number of issues, it's time to get rid. I was 20 in Feb and the insurance on a Sport is still silly money but I've noticed that I'd be paying pretty much...

Hi, Been searching for the past half an hour about this as my Haynes manual is s**t. Anyone got an idiots guide on how to clean the throttle body on a 1.2 16v engine? A lot of people have said its really easy to do and mine really needs to be done, but I'm no good unless following step by...

Hi, Firstly I've got a 51 plate, 1.2 Clio Dynamique and this problem has been happening for a while now. When idling, the idle on my car can only be described as erratic. It happens when it starts up and then seems to settle but as soon as the throttle is touched, it'll start idling stupidly...

Hi all, I remember watching a video of a non sport on track chasing, and keeping up, with a 1*2. Anybody know where it is? Can't find it anywhere! Cheers

Hi, I've been using Autobrites Magifoam and their HD foam lance for a good couple of months now. I went for both these products after many peoples recommendations. I thought they worked alright-ish but after looking on DW at other peoples experiences with them, I've been left a little...

Hi, Replacing spark plugs on my 51 plate 1.2 Dynamique. I know exactly how to do them, however I haven't got the tool that's needed. What tool is it that I need that I can readily get at Halfords? Thanks in advance

Hi, I know the spark plugs questions have been done to death but meh. I've got a 2001 (51 plate) 1.2 16V Dynamique and the spark plugs need changing. Read the NGK LZKAR7A are the ones most recommended. Are these the buggers...

Hi, Couple of months ago, my Clio decided it liked to have a lumpy idle which got so bad that it started to stall itself at junctions. Scouted about for advice, replaced the coil pack and all was fine. Now a few months down the line, whenever I'm traveling somewhere it high speeds, when I...

Eyup, I've been using Very Cherry for a good couple of months now and find it really good stuff, although lately I've noticed my wheels are looking a bit duller than usual. I don't know if this is down to the wheel cleaner or just my eyes :rolleyes: Is it safe to be using VC every wash...

Hi, My car seems to have developed a whining sort of noise whenever I turn left. Sounds like a belt almost. It only happens when the car is moving and only when i turn it to a certain point. Bit embarrassing as one of my mates thought it was my tyres squealing from going round a corner the...

Hi, Just a few quick questions. Firstly, are the plastics in the Dynamique the same colour as those in a 1*2? Also, has anyone put a black carpet in a Dynamique? Pictures would be great if poss! Cheers

Hi, Recently noticed today that I've got a couple of stains on the roof lining thingy. God knows how they've got there but it generally needs a clean anyway. What's the best way to get rid of these? I've got some APC, brushes and MF's if they can be used. Cheers Ethan

Eyup, Right, last week I used the Jeff's acrylic kit on my car and got 4 layers of the Jett Trigger down. I want to give my car a quick once over again but do I use the Prime again after drying or just straight to the Jett? Simple question but I just want to make sure so I don't f**k it up...

Hi, Right, my oil is just above the min level so it needs topping up. I've read loads of threads on here all stating different oils to use so I'm confused as to what I can actually use. So what should I be putting in? I've got some Castrol GTX 15w50 in the garage, would that be alright...

Hi, Right, so I spent a good few hours on my car the other day the other day. It was the first time I'd used most of the stuff like snowfoam, clay, tardis etc so took me longer than expected. Now, I used my Werkstat Acrylic Kit that I bought and the car looks amazing. Looks like it's on a...

Eyup, When my new PW arrives, I'll be trying out my new HD foam lance sometime next week. One question before I go at it willy nilly. Ideally, what should the tap setting thing on the top be set at? More towards the + or the - ? Cheers

Hi, This problem started a couple of weeks ago. Just as I lift my foot of the brake, there's a short squeek. This also happens when I take the hand brake off. It seems to be coming from the rear near side wheel. Here's the video with the squeek noise. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks

Hi, Just seen a black 172 driving down Leeds Road in Rothwell. Anyone off here?

Hi, F**k knows if this is in the right section, but I couldn't really find anywhere else to put it. Anyway, I got my first half decent jack for my birthday a couple of weeks ago as I need to do a few bits and bobs on the car. I don't really trust just having the jack under the car so I'm...

Hi, Just purchased some snow foam and a lance from a GB on DW. Now, can the snow foam be agitated on the wheels, using a wheel brush and an Envy brush, to clean before rinsing and using Very Cherry to get rid of the left over crap? Also, what bits should I be looking at agitating when the...

Eyup, I'm looking to purchase Autobrites HD Foam Lance and some Magifoam from them too. Got a Black and Decker PW1400K but I'm unsure on the adaptor to get (?). I've had a look at a brush that came with the pressure washer which goes into the end of the washer and the adaptor on the end...

Hi, Bought these over the past month as I got a bit of money for Christmas. Werkstat Acrylic Kit (Prime, Jet Trigger, Gloss) 1 x Poorboys Super Thick & Plush Towel 2 x Poorboys Deluxe Mega Towels 1 x Meguiars Microfibre Applicator Pad 3 x Atomiza Microfibre Work Towels Bilt Hamber Soft Clay...

Hi, Not sure if there is already a thread on this so apologies if there is. Anyway, I was wondering what the difference is between the 1.2 Dynamique interior and a 1*2 interior with regards to carpet and dash colour. Are the carpets in 1*2's black? As mine seems to be blue which doesn't...
