Just spotted you on bridge street at the lights. I was in the dark grey mk3 turning right at the lights.

Saw you at the traffic lights by the 3 pigeons. I was the idiot grinning and singing to Jason Mraz in the Mk3 heading the opposite direction.

Seen you a few times now. You managed to set off the 40 sign by Aldi the other night too when you sped off from the lights... ;)

Not sure if it was you Adam, but I was a few cars behind this morning on the way to work at about 8:15am.

Our eyes met like lovers across a crowded bar! :clown:

Fitted my coilovers today, and got them aligned. Stupidly, didn't get a printout so going back tomorrow to get one. However, just noticed my passenger side front wheel sticks out further than the driver's side!?! Passenger's side: IMAG0580 by johnpape83, on Flickr Driver's side: IMAG0581...

I've seen various threads about the MK2's, but my MK3 now with AP coilovers, is knocking at low speeds. Noise is coming from the rear. I noticed the springs for the rears are very short. The adjuster is set at halfway at present, so my ride height isn't drastically low. Untitled by...

So I've got myself some AP's now. Top mounts arrived, and I've been putting them together. Now, stupid question time. How far down should the top mount nut go? I've tightened both sides up so there is about 5-6mm of thread showing out the top. Does it need tightening down all the way down the...

So, I like to think I have some mechanical knowledge. The 1.5 DCI's, specifically the Mk3. Obviously there are 3 variants. The 68bhp, the 86bhp and the 106bhp. What is it that creates the power difference between them? I would assume turbo first of all, but is the Engine Management different...

Mk3 Interior Trim - aluminium dash strips in particular. Does anyone know the paint code for it? Want to match the heater controls/ stereo surround in the same colour.

The rear washer that needs to be drilled out on the Mk3. Is it the big cupped washer? ​Just enquiring before I take it apart this week.

Replacing my standard suspension with coilovers. Car has done just shy of 70k, is it worth replacing these too? ​

Found some Mk3 AP Racing coilivers for £450 inc VAT from these guys. Anyone used them? http://www.europerformance.co.uk

Bit overpriced in my opinion, but will be mint as feck! http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/290874225620?ssPageName=STRK%3AMESELX%3AIT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649

So what do you guys do for servicing your cars then? Are you happy to use the likes of GSF and ECP for your service parts, or do you prefer to use genuine? I've come to the Diesel Clio from a V6 Vectra for some cheap motoring. Whilst the running costs are cheap, genuine renault parts seem very...

So here are finally, some better piccies of the Clio. Not done a great deal to her yet, but enough to make driving a little more pleasurable.... Rocking out the Nervasports. Yes it needs lowering. I have some 40mm drop springs (FK's) that I need to fit. P3290871 by johnpape83, on Flickr I...

Has anyone got one of these, or used it? http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_storeId_10001_catalogId_10151_productId_928225_langId_-1_categoryId_165685 Just wondering what the quality is like, and if it does actually project Google maps Navigation through the speaker.

Anyone fancy the idea of a Banbury mini meet? I know there's a few of us in the area.

Does anyone know if Renault do silver wheel paint available over the counter? Reason I ask, is I have 2 rather tired centre caps from my Nervasports, but to replace them is £20 each from the stealers! If I can spray them up myself, I'm hoping it'll be a lot cheaper. Thanks.

Hey guys, I'm toying with the idea of upgrading the audio setup in the Mk3. It's bog standard at present (headunit and front speakers only), with the addition of a Renault iPod kit. 5 door model too. So I gather there are no rear speakers at all. I'm not looking to blow the bank, and I would...

So I thought I'd finally get myself another hobby, and this time I fancied taking my chances on amateur photography. It won't be anything legendary, just a chance for me to get out, take some snaps and have a play about with them. I was after something better than my Fuji JZ300 to use for...

My Mk3 has developed a knocking noise, which seems to appear at slow speeds and in time with the rotation of the wheels. I'm guessing this is the CV joint? I've read and seen that it's common on the older clios, but does anyone know what I'm looking at for a Mk3? Thanks.

Daft question, but I cannot for the life of me get the front wiper blades off my clio. :clown: Is it just a question of squeezing those clips together and the wiper blade should pop off, or am I missing something?

Pass your car on my commute to work.

Was that your car parked up at Spiceball tonight?

Evening folks. My mk3 DCi Dynamique has the one-touch window, so you don't have to hold down the switch for the window to go down. It's not on the passenger window though. Are any Mk3's fitted with this feature on the passenger window? Can it be retro-fitted?

I recently got a bargain buy of some Megane Nervasports from eBay, which are currently at city Powdercoating being done. The centre caps like the wheels, are a bit tatty, so whilst in town, took a trip to Renault to enquire as to how much new ones were. £20 each?! For a bit of plastic! Are...

Has anyone used FK springs on their Clio? Particularly interested on Mk3's? Not after a "I've heard they're bad" response. I'm wanting factual information please. :clown:

Put my deposit down today. Pretty chuffed! Unfortunately didn't get my own piccies - that'll be next week! Here's the dealer's pics. DCi 86 model with A/C It's got some minor scuffs on the back bumper that I will get sorted. Also; the trim around the radio, has actually peeled away and is...

Looking at this Clio DCi: http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201221472498771/usedcars?logcode=visc Just rang them up (the garage), and asked some questions. All HPI clear, fresh certificate available. FSH - 5 stamps. Seems to have been to the dealer for the first 2, then an...
