    Rear bulbs in Clio mk1?

    They all look the same (for brakes, indicator etc). Are they a common type (used in other cars etc). What type are they (to search online)? Is the rear fog lamp a different type? What are they called? need to order one but don't know where to start.

    Car now rolls down the f*ckin hill when handbrake is on : (

    Had lots of rear brake issues with my MOT. Took car to mates and spent a few hours working with him tonight. He freed up the self adjusting wotsits in the drum (both were stuck) which fixed that problem, so hopefully it won't fail the retest with the pedal brakes now. We (he) also tightened...

    'Headlamp aim too low'

    Another part of my MOT fail. What's it all about? I have a switch that is supposed to move the lamp up and down, but tester said that highest setting wasn't high enough. Thought that was what full beam was for ffs. Does this have to be a garage job?

    'Rear fog lamp tell tale not working'

    First part of my MOT fail. I think it means the b*stard light doesn't turn on in the dashboard. Sounds lke a real p.i.t.a. for an indication I'll probably never even look at. Will the dash need to come off or could it be as simple as a fuse or something? The offside rear fog lamp also...

    Nice easy one. Does it go on the side nearest the door or the side nearest the middle of the car?

    Anyone know for sure whether these Cobra harnesses are road legal?

    http://www.advancedcarproducts.com/products.asp?cat=19 Also, would they be race legal? They seem a really good price for a pair of great looking, premium badged harnesses. What's the catch?!

    Brake fluid sealed in mk1?

    Am I right in thinking that the whole brake fluid system is sealed and therefore shouldn't be and couldn't be topped up? :S

    Engine transplant for a Mk1 1.2L

    Why aren't front and rear brake systems interchangable?

    Why do you have to buy one type for front and another for back*? <*ffs>

    Lots of brake related questions, all in one thread.

    Standard vs uprated brake pads Whats the difference / best to go for? I'm guessing that uprated = stop quicker, but wear out quicker? :S What sort of difference are we talking about on both counts? Are uprated road-legal?

    Performance brakes not available for Clio mkI 1.2?

    Hi, Looking for some nice new disks and pads for above model, but having eBayed & Googled, seems that only original or lower standard parts are available. Is it not possible to get drilled / grooved disks and cool sporty pads for the mk1 1.2? I know it seems an overkill but I want to make...

    Worn brakes = MOT failure even if working okay?

    During an MOT test, do they observe the visual condition of the pads and disks or do they just test that the brakes stop alright? To put another way, can my car pass its MOT if the brakes are worn (grinding) but performance seems unaffected. (No lectures please - I'm getting them seen to).

    Clio screws too short for Cobra subframe

    Having taken my s**t Clio mkI seats out to put in nice new Cobra ones, I now find that I can't attach the seat to the official Cobra/Clio subframe because the original Clio screws are too short (the Cobra subframe is thicker than the original). b******s. Couldn't they juist put in some longer...

    Fitting Cobra buckets to a Clio I

    I have a pair of Cobra Monacos that I want to fit in my Clio mk1. The obvious choice would be to buy the proper Cobra subframes for the car, but these would cost about £150 a pair, almost what I paid from the seats! The Cobra universal frames would only be £100 but even more importantly...

    Performance exhaust for Clio mk1 also suitable for other models / cars?

    I want to put a performance exhaust on my mk1, but only expect the car to last another couple of years, so would want to transfer the exhaust to another. Would a performance exhaust for my mk1 be transferable to other Clio models / car models, or are they model specific?

    Wheel bolts from steels okay for alloys?

    Will the wheel bolts on my steels also work on my new alloys when I get them? I know its not ideal for the long run. In the short-term I have a high security nut for each wheel, but I want to get the car home and see what it looks like before I choose the remaining bolts to match.

    DIY welding?

    I've been quoted £25 to weld a gas strut back onto the boot of my Clio, but can pick up a arc welder for £90 that could own for life. Is it possible to teach yourself to weld? Presumedly the professionals would say no, and one recognises the inherent dangers, but anyone had any joy?

    Fitting new Cobra seats in my Clio

    I picked up a pair of Cobras for just £161 on eBay, yey! But the Clio mk1 subframes are £65 each and I'm only keeping the mk1 for a year or 2 until it dies. Could I use the 'budget universal subframes'? How easy are they to fit? (don't mind spending a few hours but not very good at...

    Why are Luke harnesses so expensive?

    Presumedly they're a premier brand but £450 for a pair of good 75mm seatbelts?! It approaches what some of us paid for our mk1s!
