this is one issue thats going to be thrown up by the installation of tow strap!!
since the AA/RAC will only want to tow you with a bar, they may well refuse to attempt to tow a clio with a tow strap!!
also would like to know the law about towing with a rope! since they still sell them at...
it should come on with the ignition then go off with all the other lights!!
thatll tell you if the lights duff, but it could still be the sensor in the gearbox!!
sorry not read any of the other responses,
but i had an odyssey battery in my fast road/track mk1,
i never found it to be any different from a usual battery, and never dropped charge over night!!
however i didnt used to use anything on just the ignition, only with the engine running where...
Right to clear this up!! the VOSA regulation manual released for jan 2012 states under
5.4 supplementary restraint system,
reason for rejection number 2.
srs malfunction indicator lamp
1. inoperative
2. indicating a system malfunction
as far as i can see, theres still nothing on the engine...

nice work dude!! any chance you'd be able to borrow that welder again over the summer?? is i really need one for a few bits on mine! :)
secondly, if youre changing the rad hoses to the ones without oil cooling, any chance i could...
sorry but lol at "good condition" with a bent subframe!!
thats been in some kind of accident to warrant the suspension mismatch and damage, and whats worse is it wasnt properly fixed!!
id personally go over the entire suspension with a fine tooth comb and replace everything perishable!
conversions cost more than the cars worth and more than a 172 in the long run....
engine mods on a 1.2 dont work and are just a waste....
the only decent option is to save up and buy a 172!
this kind of thread has been done to death tbh, and it keeps coming back to the same conclusion!
Re: The Confused Budget Track Clio! * Inc 197 Cup Cage Content*
could be a party!! dont suppose you have any spare F7R lower rad hoses? would probs make it easier to mount on! lol
used to be that sun strips cant intrude the area swept by your wipers, but ive had many cars go in with sunstrips and theyve never cared.
i had one because i stripped my mk1 (and have done my current mk2 project) massively and its safer to have a sunstrip that nothing, especially with a low...
take the hinges and seals from a mk1 and use them on the mk2, bond the clips to the window and hope the seal is roughly the same size!!
however opening rear windows gives another place for water to get in and start to rot the shell!! (iirc the mk1s had a massive rot issue due to the opening...
i think the general idea is that renault had a lot of 52mm hub/shock assembly left over after they stopped making them and just mixed them into the production line. so random 1.2 16v's may have 52mm hubs for no real reason!!
but it might be worth noting that 52mm hubs and 58mm hubs are...
glad you got them back! This is the one thing that makes me want to do away with the imobilizer in my car!! then i could just get as many keys as i like cut and shrug everytime i loose a set!! (im pretty shocking with keys! lol)
i think the wheels look alright tbh, nice design and different from the norm!
ifail!! the wheels in the external link are wrong!! the wheels in the above posts are nice though!! :)
the exhaust on the other hand, is a different story!!
and wouldnt have really said it was that "low"
list of mods, pics, where was the RR done and dates? who did the tuning and mapping??
these things might twig memories!! but it sounds like a pretty epic ph1!
Re: The Confused Budget Track Clio! * Inc 197 Cup Cage Content*
i spy myself a beeson!! ;)
looks really clean and fresh man!! look forward to seeing the engine in situe!!
also spy myself a crane that i need to borrow sometime in july! ;)
really like the alloys, think theyll look ace....
however not a bit fan of the wing mirrors!! anything that can be picked up in the halfords boy racer section is a big no for me!!
looks like youre putting a lot of love into her though! :). defs get the dual optics for the front and ph2 rears...
a girl thats into modded clios and racing.....your boyfriend's a lucky man!!
welcome to CS, clio looks smart, perhaps a RS grill to smarten the front up, and RS interior for the inside??
plans sound good though, any intention on changing the wheels??
edit: i just read the end of your post...
Under the section 1.1 of the class 3,4,5 and 7 mots (which are cars/vans) titled "Front and Rear Position lamps and Registration Plate Lamps"
This inspection applies to
all vehicles, except those which either have no front or rear positionlamps or have such lamps permanentlydisconnected...
Im aware that you can get an MOT to cover you only for daytime use, and will therefore not need headlights.
my question however is, with a regular MOT, can you remove the headlights and fit headlight blanks, providing youre only driving in the daytime??
i seriously dont see what anyones really gaining from this!!
other than sauber will loose any support from people who dislike the chelsea football team!! (which is quite a large number of people)
id leave powdercoating the rocker cover until you get cams!! youll need all the cam locking tools to take the rocker cover off!! (stupid design i know)
it was a joke dude lol,
as for hiding the lights, you can just take the clocks apart and put tape over the offending LEDs someone on here recently did just that and it worked a treat!
