I was fixing an annoying rattle in the bottom of the engine bay yesterday which involved pulling the arch linings out from my right front arch. I noticed that theres a black bar, connecting to the bottom of where the disc bolts on to (or near there), which seems to go through some rubber...

My valver has been de-catted and is straight through to the back box, with a K-TEC s/s system (de)cat back. It pops rediculously loud sometimes just by tapping the accelerator, but the thing i like most is when the engine is cold, and you just hold your foot slightly on the accelerator as you...

When i start my valver from cold, it sounds quite 'tappety' for a while, and then all of a sudden it just stops dead and sounds as smooth as always. Just wondering what causes this? I'm guessing it's just the oil making it's way to the top of the engine? If so, is there anything to stop it...

Whats the mileage of your valver engine at the moment? Mine is almost at 118k but still running strong. Just wondered how many more miles i can expect to get out of the engine? It's just had a new headgasket and full service and runs almost as smooth as the day it came out of the factory...

Went passed you and flashed at around 6pm but i don't know if you're on here? Looked pretty standard, first black valver i've seen around here other than mine!

The fusebox on my valver, the part that opens from underneath the glovebox, tends to hang down on one side as one of the clips that hold it up broke off a long time ago. It just looks untidy now and i aim to keep my car absolutely mint and everything in working order from when it came out of the...

Spotted you near Thurmaston Roundabout this afternoon VERY clean looking car!

Hi there, Could someone kindly photoshop me some 182 alloys onto my valver? Would like to see them in white as i'm thinking of getting some but some other colours would be good to see as well! Here's a pic of my valver...

Hi there! I recently filled up my valver with oil as it was running very low, but annoyingly i've filled it up too much. The oil level is about an inch above the 'max' level on the dipstick, which i know is not a good thing. I've experienced a serious lack of power recently, and i thought...

Should there be any noticeable side effects if i disconnect the ECU from my valver? For example, a lack of power?

This isn't really much of a problem for me, i just have a small problem where on a cold start, if i leave it to idle, it will start off smooth, then it will begin to chug a little, then the revs will kick back up and everything will be fine again. If i give it a few revs when its chugging it...

Spotted a very nice blue valver last night with shiny turbine wheels in Loughborough, visiting the Loughborough Cruise. Heard it roar as it left the car park :) Anyone from here? I'm sure i've seen a picture of it on here somewhere..

I've just tried to change the bulb in one of my fog lights in my valver. I managed to get one screw undone but it was VERY tight, but the other screw was even tighter and eventually it gave way, now it's all chewed up and i can't unscrew it. Does anyone have any suggestions on how i can get...

I've got three amps in my car currently. A fusion amp for my subwoofer and two Mutant NW280SP amps. The two mutant amps are for front & rear speakers. I have a remote cable running from the heat unit which arrives at the fusion amp first, and i double this up with a shorter cable and insert it...

Spotted a Black Clio as above this morning at about 8am on my way to work. Had a spoiler, blacked out lexus lights, cliosport sticker in the side window, thats about all i saw. I was going the other way, don't think you spotted me though.

Drove past it parked up outside someones house in Hathern i think. Looked nice! :)

Right, I've owned three MK1 clios now and i absolutely love my valver. The one thing that has ALWAYS bugged me is the fact you can't actually 'flash' someone when you have your headlights on. You can only click them on, and click them off. I find it really annoying, as i can't flash my...

Was driving into Leicester the other day in my valver to have my de-cat pipe fitted, and all of a sudden the car went really unresponsive, jerky, and when i reached traffic and dipped the clutch it just cut out. Started the engine again and it died once more. Started it a third time and gave it...

Spotted a Yellow 182 in Southfields Car Park in Loughborough, had a ClioSport sticker in the back window. My girlfriend said it was a girl driving? Loved the colour of that! I was there with the RAC bloke looking at my valver (typical..) Also spotted a lovely blue Valver going past...

Ever since i've owned my valver it has a strange problem where the gear stick moves backwards and forwards a lot, more than any other car i've been in. If i'm in first gear and i'm rolling, if i take my foot off the accelerator the gear stick violently moves forwards, and if i tap the...

Well, what a day it was! Lovely weather, and got plenty of piccies! Sorry about the rubbish photo quality...!

Hi there, When i bought my valver, it had a really stiff clutch in there, which i'm guessing was probably an uprated one, but eventually it died after too much abuse. So, i had a new clutch fitted as well as head gasket, full service carried out etc, at my local garage, and it's now running...

Was on my way to work at about 7:45AM this morning and a Naples Valver went past me going in the other direction. He flashed me first and i flashed him but i don't know who it was! Couldn't see any ClioSport stickers in my mirror but my eyesight isn't the best, so he might be from here. Nice...

Hey all! I've got a black MK1 valver and i need a couple of things sorting before FCS. I've got a bit of rust on my drivers side arch and a load of rust on the bottom of my boot. The boot isn't as important but i'd really like to get my arch sorted so it looks good. The other side is mint...

For those of you that are going to FCS this year and live in the east Midlands (near Leicester), would anyone be interested in having a mini meet up to get all our cars cleaned up and looking mint for the show? Normally washing cars is quite boring by yourself so i thought it might be good to...

Saw you on St Margarets Way in Leicester, Monday evening i think, near Vaughan Way. Didn't see any ClioSport stickers so not sure if you're a member on here, but nice car anyway :)

Here's a few pics of my 1994 M Reg 1.8 16v Clio! :cool: Let me know what you think! :D

Hi all, I've had my engine in my MK1 clio rebuilt recently and a strange chirping/scraping noise has started coming from the engine whenever i take my foot of the accelerator, or whenever i reverse. The noise seems to be due to the engine moving. I put my handbrake on and put the car into...
