Recently my 182 has developed 2 loud click noises when I wind the window back up, in the same position (about half way) as the window moves back up. Doesn't stop it functioning, but fear its getting worse now! It is quite loud and getting to be really annoying as wel . Anyone has this problem/...

Having had a clio mk3 1.2 TCE for a while, then moving on to a Lupo Gti for 18 months, I've now made a return to clio ownership with Trophy (No.248)... Bought it from a guy in Grantham not too far from me, it was his wifes run around and has only covered 22k, already had the dampers refurbished...

Just bought a set of the 'valeo' flat wiper blades from halfords and since fitting them have noticed they don't quite sit right, they overlap by about an inch in the centre. Both of them are 21" as the halford book says so (and renault I believe). The original ones that came with the car sat...

Hi, can anyone recommend a good dent removal person/ company in the leicester/ midlands region that is mobile. I've got about 4 small parking dents that I want to have looked at but want to make sure I get a proper job done and not just from a standard chips away guy. And also an idea of price...

My brother has bought some H&R 45mm springs for his mk3 clio and is looking to get them fitted. I have no problem fitting the rears but could do with some help on the fronts and I don't have any spring compressors. Is there anyone local that would be able to lend a hand, don't mind travelling...

Spent a while cleaning my lupo gti last week so went out for some night shots recently at a multistorey car park on campus, along with a mate and his polo gti and an audi a3. Pics taken with a mates nikon d50 but not sure I got the hang of it totally, some of them seem to have come out abit...

Hi, can anyone recommend a good place in Leicester/ East Midlands that can do a full set up for my coilovers, ie tracking, camber and alignment etc. Or can any old tyre garage provide this service? And how much should I look to be paying? Thanks

Hi, I'm looking for someone that can offer their services for a decent price to fit a set of AP Coilovers to my Lupo Gti. They are coilovers on the front and adjustable rear dampers/ springs on the back. Or if anyone can recommend a garage in the Leicester/ Loughborough area that will do a...

Unfortunately, my brother managed somehow to snap the front splitter of the Mk3 Dynamique SX on a kerb, not sure how as the car still hasn't been lowered and therefore sits pretty high. Anyway its broken into 3 clear separate pieces that fit back together in position, not sure if this kind of...

How do all you lot with iphones manage to transfer the pics you've taken on your iphone onto your pc/mac? Can't seem to find a way through itunes to access the files on the iphone and bluetooth doesn't allow you to tranfer actual files to other bluetooth enabled devices. :S Thanks

Will these seats fit a non-197 mk3, and if so is it a pretty straight forward swap over (including the rear seats)? Do they need different mountings/ brackets (subframes) etc than what are currently on my mk3? Cheers

Weather started off quite good today so thought I'd give the Clio a much needed clean. Has been a fortnight since I last cleaned it but with it being black and also parked under trees at home, it never stays clean for long at all! Didn't get a before shot of the alloys, but the brakes don't...

Hi, what alloys would people suggest for my new mk3 clio.. currently has the standard 16" canasta alloys which I'm not overly keen on and look slightly undersized in my opinion. So I'm thinking 17s as the arches should be able to take them fine. And with a slight drop, maybe 35mm on H&R springs...

Sorry if this is a repost, but just purchased the new 'performance car' 1st Issue, looks to be a great one, with a 13 page spread all about the new 197 cup and also puts it up against the old williams. Some great stuff about the new impreza, fiesta ST etc. Worth the purchase I'd say! Josh
