Ill find out tomorrow. They seem really clued up as to whats going on in the area, but its the courts that are the problem. Slap on the wrist, dont do it again! Bring back capital punishment!

*** UPDATE *** Checked the CCTV footage today and sure enough, its the male and female in the stolen G reg Metro the copper told me about. Not enough info to nick them on my case alone, but they have done 3 other cars, and another car got done today in the same car park (probably them...

The alarm did go off (although I didnt hear it as I was in the gym). Once I got back to my car and pressed the key button, the 4 beeps sounded to say an intrusion took place.

Nice plate tom.

I think if the Noble was parked next to the Clio, they would have still broken in to the Clio. Thats the one likely to be full of goodies. Thank you all for your kind words - I was upset, but hey, it seems most people here have been a victim of this kind of thing at least once. At least Im not...

Well I have a new rear window now. Spoke to the police and they said that 3 cars were hit in Purley train station yesterday. "One of them was a Renault Clio Sport!" He said. "Thats what I have." I replied. The copper told me that the 172 that got broken into had 2 grand of I.C.E in the back...

Nice install northy.

Oh yes I forgot to mention that I can pick up the tape for the police to look at tomorrow. Theres a fairly good shot of the car, but havent seen the crime happen yet as they change the tapes at midnight. Ill let you all know what happens.

Jon: Well I had no idea that you could claim for glass without affecting your no claims bonus so thats what Im doing. The rear screen costs around £330 and then the dents will need filling or something. Im not sure of the total cost but the autoglass guy is coming at 8am so better get some...

Hi all, Parked my Cup at my local gym today at about 4:30 pm like I do four times a week, every week. Half way through my workout, "Member anouncement, would the owner of a blue Renault Clio, registration LX..." Im already running to reception! One of the fitness instructors takes me to my...

Check the fuses on both the power cable (fuse usually located in the black fuse holder near the car battery), and the amp itself if it has one. Failing this, do as madcowz says.

Yea mine was mid-September 2002. Ive never regretted buying the Cup as soon as I did, but its just a little anoying to see the cars going so cheap now :(

Heres what you do: Go to the dealer and let them tell you about how special this model is. Listen to what they have to say and pay perticular attention to anything like, "Theyre only building 500 of these...", "special edition" and, "Theres no way we can discount these as they are in such...

As rob said, double declutching does NOT involve braking. It is mandatory in cars that have no synchromesh. When you press the clutch and blip, all you increase is the engine revs, but when the car is in neutral and the clutch pedal is up, then engine spins the gearbox input shaft up to the...

Hmmmmmmm! :confused: The idea is to slow down for a corner and make sure that you are in the right gear to use a nice balance of power through the corner without making the car jerk voilently whilst downshifting. Which wheels the power is delivered through shouldnt make any difference. My...

Behind the label there are two screws (on the back).

You can take the unit apart quite easily to check. Not had it happen to me though.

Dont forget the Turinis for the Cup have a 4-bolt pattern, whereas the Turinis that are available from places like Demon Tweeks all seem to have a 5-bolt pattern.

Jay I got an Origin B2 for the Cup and I liked it so much that the Noble has one too. It took about 1 hour to fit in the Clio, and about the same for the Noble. There is nothing I could think of that the Origin B2 needs that it doesnt already have.

If the rear fog light is actually flickering on and off too (get someone to stand behind and check) then its almost certainly a bad earth, or a faulty bulb that is upsetting the rest.

Indeed you are ;)

All detectors are fully legal in the UK to own and use.

WHich head unit do you have? Most aftermarket units have an aux input. You can happily use this by buying a £5 cable from somewhere like Dixons.

Its fairly straight-forward. There is a block of 8 wires that comes from the back of the head unit. 4 go to the front speakers, and 4 go to the rear (there are 2 wires per speaker, 1 is positive and the other is negative). Just connect some speaker wire to the positive of 1 side (say the...

It looks ok, but the main reason I would go against it is space. Say you need all your boot space one day, its a pain in the arse to remove because the amp is built in. With a separate amp on the other hand, you can tuck that away somewhere (screw to the back of the rear seat, put under the...

Exactly. Start at 100hz and play with it until youre happy. Remember to always have the boot shut when you listen, and also that it will sound slightly different when you drive the car instead of listening stationary on your drive.

The trouble with the Clio is that the head unit has no pre-outs which means tapping into your front or rear speaker wires for a sound signal (which the product supports according to your link). Secondly you still have to run an amplifier wiring kit to the unit - so all in all, it is only 1...

Get down to where you got the head unit from and let them have a listen.

Well if its the same as the 172 (which Im sure it will be), the femail ISO plug (on the speaker itself) will have a small + sign on it. The wire which goes to this is the +. The colours are meaningless so dont try and understand them :confused: Hope this helps.

Nothing has been confirmed, but an automotive engineer I know of was conducting some tests and he found that the fuel would begin to deteriorate after around 40 days. I dont think it could ever fall back to 95 ron though, it just has an unofficial best before date.
