Where can you get hold of the fault readers?? What sort of price would I be looking at and can they diagnose all faults? (e.g. Why abs light is on, engine management light and even the electrical faults such as the problem I recently had when my hazards wouldn't turn off?) Thinking of...

Ok so since I had the problem with my hazards not turning on, my satnav screen doesn't turn on anymore. We think it's because we've obviously been fiddling about behind the dash but cant be sure. You can turn the stereo on, but you need to input the code. This i cannot work out how to do as I...

Spotted on the way to the Mansfield v Fleetwood match. Plate ended in YAY, saw the CS sticker on the bonnet!!

Today I detailed my friends DCi Clio. To say it was a swirl bus is an understatement. It was the swirliest car I have ever seen in my life. The lady who owned it before him had it cleaned every week.... At her local foreign car wash :S Havent got loads of pics... But here goes! Pics of the...

As above, I'm going to order a decat and want to know your views? Basically, I have a Ktec supersport system on the 172, which is quite loud as some may know... So I'm not sure whether to go all out "boy racer style" and get just a decat, or get a silenced one to make it not ridiculously...

Had a search through some old threads, and I seem to be getting different answers.. Where would the alarm be for my 172? Is it under the wiper motor, or inside the dash board? Either way, how do I disconnect it? Any info would be great, thanks!

So I may be sending my UCH off to a company to look at rather than bending over for renault. How do I remove it? All I know is that it is under the glove box lol. Any help would be great, thanks!

Just seen this on their website... Are they any good? They're quite a bit cheaper than the sportlines.

So while my 172 was in Renault for it's free health check, I thought I'd give a 200 a test drive. Wasn't that impressed tbh... It was a nice car, but it didn't seem as fun as the 172. Atleast ive made my mind up that I definitely want a Vee instead of a 200. On a side note, I'm not...

Ok I'm finally coming round to lowering my car... I cant put it off forever! I don't think coil overs will be an option as they're too expensive for me atm and the ones on my 1.2 made the car very stiff. It will also make me want to slam the car, which I don't want to do again. I'm...

Most will probably not like this... Im not a massive fan tbh, but I thought id do it to keep my interest in the car! (They wont be a permanent fixture... Will go back to the normal bullets in due course) Btw, I didnt copy this idea from someone else on the forum :rasp: Comments and...

As above. Are they just good for one use, or can you wash all the dried polish off and use them again???

Could I get some advice please... Going to be having the wheels off in a couple of weeks to give them a proper clean and get rid of all the crap in the inside of the rim. I've got Bilberry wheel cleaner to sort that, but what's the best way to protect them after? I've been looking at RimWax...

So I gave the Flamer a good going over this morning as I hadnt had time to clean it for almost 2 weeks, and Im going away this week, so didnt want to leave it dirty! Came out great IMO... Mmmmm, orange peely! As im getting a right hoard of detailing stuff, I thought id buy myself...

Can you detail a car? I.e. Machine polish and cut into the paint? I did mine at the start of June and I'm getting ready to give it a polish/wax again, but there are still a few light swirls and RDS that I haven't got rid of. I wouldn't mind getting rid of them all but don't want to do any...

As above, let's see your different colored 172 alloys. I'm tempted to buy a cheap set and try and refurb them myself, but in a bit of a crazy/stupid colour. On a flamer would be great aswell as I realize not many colours will look right with red. Or is there any flamers with different...

As above, want to see your pics of 1*2s, on 15' wheels, that isn't lowered. The reason being I'm considering some OZ F1s for my Flamer but not sure whether that size will look alright on a non lowered RS. Cheers! :cool:

Made an order on Friday for an iPad in the Apple Store in Meadowhall. Just wondered if anybody else had done so (after it was released), as I want to find out how long I should expect to wait before they have it ready in-store for me??? The person who was serving me said that they are taking...

May be ordering one today and could do with this being answered so I know what to expect/do ;) ... Is there any way to stop the engine management (or whatever it is) coming on once you've fitted a Decat?? I read somewhere that you can plug the 2nd Lambda Sensor or something and that stops it...

A few weeks back I bought myself a DA Machine Polisher. Yesterday, even though the weather was terrible, I thought id have a go at detailing the car ready for FCS... Started off with a wash in the pouring rain. Then tried to dry it off a bit. Then clayed in the wet, only did this really quickly...

Who's going? Im going to meeting the Yorkshire people at J25 to convoy down. Whats everyones plans?

What are people planning to do/take to FCS? After 60-70 miles down the M1, think mine will have quite a few flies and crap on the car and want to make sure its clean at the event. Will Meguiars Quick Detailer do? Give it a quick once over?

Ordered me some 3M Di-Noc Carbon Vinyl t'other day... Thought id do my front diamond to start with to see how it looks: Before: After: (also Tow Eye is on) Its not perfect by any stretch of the imagination (made a couple of mistakes with it). But its only noticeable close up and its...

When its been raining, my car seems to have absolutely no grip when going round corners... Im currently rolling on Toyo Proxes with plenty of tread left so its not like they're budgets or bald. Are them tyres just s**t in the wet? In my 1.2 I had Continental Tyres all round and it took corners...

So, I think (imo) ive got my 172 almost perfect. Just a couple more bits left to complete. But, id just like to know if theres anything else people think I should do to it? Pics atm: "Mods" at it stands: - Ktec Supersport Recessed Stainless System - Cup Spoiler - Skoda Splitter - Standard...

Taken on my phone over the security camera we have at work! Im sure this was posted on here the other week! Theres another clio that is always parked up at my work (we share our carpark with the school/6th form), which is also as good as this beaut... Im gonna try and get a pic of that one...

thinking of getting a decat for my birthday and was wondering what you guys think... Currently running on a ktec supersport recessed system so what will the sound be like? Does it cause any problems with the car? Also, does it affect the fuel consumption? Thanks (on my phone so couldn't do...

Looking into getting a car cover, but havent got a clue where to go for a good quality one! Can anybody recommend me a brand of one and where to get it from? And approx price if possible? Are there any that say "Renault Sport" or anything like that? Would like one that is tailored for Clio's...

Sorry to make another thread about oil, but need it answering quick tbh so I can put an order in asap. Will a 5l tub of oil be enough to fill a Clio 172? How much exactly do I need? Any help would be great, thanks!

Will be servicing the car soon. Can you recommend me what oil to put in my 172 (type and brand please), as im not clued up with whats good/crap and what exactly needs to go into the car?? Also, can you recommend gearbox oil for the 172 aswell please? As im wanting to have that changed. Any...
