Hi all Ive noticed that my clio has different head lights to most of the other mk2 phase 1s about. Heres a pick of mine: http://www.wellbored.com/car/new/frontlightsandsplitter.jpghttp://www.wellbored.com/car/new/frontlightsandsplitter.jpg Most of the ones I have seen dont seem to have the...

I picked one of these up a few days back and have been very impressed with it so far. I find it hard to believe the 0-60 is really as slow as Renault quote, it seems to be 9 seconds at the slowest. Also, this sounds a lot slower than it really is as you have to change into 3rd at about 58mph...

How do u get to the bolts on a leccy sun roof? havent had a go yet but the only thing that looks like it comes off is the inner trim.

Hi all I think i need one of my keys recoded. It works the alarm and stuff however it wont start the car. It just turns over to no avail. Does anyone know how to fix this? do i need to go to renault to get it recoded? TIA

Just wondering what clio you drive, how long youve had it, and are you bored with the performance yet?? For me its a mk1 1.4rt, had it for nearly a year and really want something faster now :devilish:

Hi Can anyone tell me if this is the standard 1.6 16v exhaust: http://www.virtual-showroom.co.uk//Images/Vehicles/8229_1127_03.JPGhttp://www.virtual-showroom.co.uk//Images/Vehicles/8229_1127_03.JPGhttp://www.virtual-showroom.co.uk//images/vehiclesThumbnails/8229_1127_03.JPG Also, what is...

Can anyone tell me (or where to find) the differences between the 1.6 16v clios. (Mk2 phase 1) From what ive seen theres the RSI, RXE, Iniatale and Dynamique? TIA

Hey all At the moment im really thinking about a valver for my next car instead of a 106gti (mainly due to lower insurance quotes and about 2k cheaper for the car). Anyway, im trying to find the main differences between a phase 1 rt and a phase 2 valver (96 plate im after). This is what...

Just wondering how good the cold air feed is on the mk1 rt? Ive had a look and it comes from the passenger side wheel arch, although i cant seem to find anywhere that the air actually goes in from?

Hey I came out of work tonight, use the remote central locking (works fine), get in the car (interior light on as normal), shut the door and put the keys in the ignition. Turn the key and wait for the fuel pump to power up (immobiliser), dash lights come on, go to start and nothing. All the...

Just wondering which one people would choose on here. Currently driving an RT at the mo but towards the end of the year should have about 5k to spend so looking at both cars. So far the 106 is 1st choice. From what ive read theyre pretty even speed wise but the 106 has slightly better...

Hey all Happy 2k4! ive got my MOT in the morning and hopefully all should go well :) but the one thing im worried about is emissions. As ive got a piperx panel filter and a cold air feed is this likely to effect the fueling causing it to run a little bit lean maybe? i was thinking about...

Would a car fail its MOT if the rear window washer jet wasnt working? Thanks Dazz

Hey all When i drive my car from cold i get a kinda grinding noise from the brakes. its hard to tell where but i think its the front ones. The thing is after a couple of minutes it totally stops and everything is quiet again. Brakes are fine, even when cold they stop well :) The pads and...

Hey all over the last few weeks my standard zorst has developed a deep throaty sound ;) I was just wondering if theres any techhy way of depicting wether its starting to blow or not? Ive looked for holes to no avail, so im guessing its the flanges? By the way, could the baffler effect this? as...

Ok i know this is probably a stupid idea, but anyways here goes :) Ive just taken my piperx element out to give it a clean up. Anyways, i noticed that the foam isnt attached to the metal inner mesh. What i was wondering was is there any point in the mesh being there? Im pretty sure the foam...

Hey all Lately my cars started to develop a knocking noise when cornering, on bumps and changing gear etc. What looks to be the problem is the lower engine mount is banging on the exhaust. When stationary there is about a 1cm gap between them so i guess even minimal movement on the engine is...

Just wondering how fast these things are and how well they handle. The one im on about is the old box shape escort. Would an 1.4RT stand a chance?? if not on the straights then maybe on the corners?

Hi all Ive been trying to find somewhere to get my clio lowered for ages, thing is no one wants to touch it cos it has a torsion bar. Has anyone in the Kent area had theres done, if so where and how much? Thanks Dazz

Hi all I just wanted to make sure i was right with what i was arguing with my mate about. I drive a mark 1 ph1 clio, and his mum drives a mk1 ph3 clio. He was trying to tell me it was a mark 2 clio and that the latest clio is a mk3???? The way i understand is theres only ever been 5 types...

Just had the rear drivers side wheel bearing done on my clio, came to £52 (parts, labour and vat). I was quite chuffed as only had to wait an hour and all seems well. Is this the average going rate?

Hi all Gonna get some new rear shocks to replace mine (theyve done 70k so pretty done). I was thinking of doing it myself as it seems like its a question of two bolts? Has anyone else tried it, and how hard is it compared to changing discs/pads as thats the most daring thing ive done so...

Hi all Im currently planning on colour coding (well getting a close colour match) the bump strips on my mk1 phase1. Firstly, i was just wondering how they come off? is it pull or slide, and is there a technique to doing it? Also, if i was to use Silver Metallic Smooth hammerite, would i...

Just been doing the under car seals with goodol hammerite before the winter gets here. Anyways, ive noticed the inner lip of all four arches are starting to develop the slightest hints of rust. I havent got loads to spend, so i was thinking of getting some silver smooth hammerite (my cars...

Is this a good deal, or are the tyres crap? 2 x Hankook K102 for £80 delivered? Thanks Dazz

Not really up with it on the 172s, but just seen this on ebay http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2428931145&category=38786http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2428931145&category=38786 Someone here might want it HTH Dazz

Just a quick question, am finally gonna try and rule out tyres of a buckled wheel as the reason for my car shaking at 70mph. Is it legal to put 13" wheels on the front and 15"s on the back? It will only be for an hour or two so i can take it for a spin to see if the shaking is still there...
