Hows best to wash to cloths and stuff that you use to wax your cars with? Obviously, I dont quite like the idea of bunging them into the washing machine - just in case the wax residue stays in the machine itself. Is it simply a case of washing them in the sink with hot water and some washing...

Just a thought - how many people on here wash their wifes/girlfriends car at the same time that they wash their own? I used to do it almost religiously, but increasingly, Im usually just washing my own. I hope this doesnt make me a bad husband?! :oops: :confused: Maybe I should pull my...

Well, Ive passed four RS Clios this morning on the way into work - two 172 Cups, one blue and one silver 172. I let onto all of them and didnt get one response. :cry: The only one Id let off would be the woman in the silver 172. We passed each other on opposite sides of the M66, so a combined...

Probably the engine mounts, but the noise is a bit much for a 4 month old car. Its always when the clutch engages - or the engine takes the strain. Sounds like a creak, which I cant hear if I blip the throttle. Does the gearbox have its own set of mountings or does it rely on the ones for the...

Seemingly stupid question I know (the engine - doh!) - but whats actually there? Is there any space at all for luggage or is it just access to oil filler caps etc? Just intrigued.....! D.

Does this thing just clip on in several places? Noticed it pushed out slightly on the front left, but just wanted to check before I got caked in crap trying to look underneath..... D.

Am I right in saying that as you set off in first gear - even slowly and on level ground, a slight creak/clunking noise is the result of dodgy engine mounts? 5 months old, 3k on the clock and already Ive got this.....! :o D.

...... until last night. Set speed. Press + to go faster. Press - to slow down. Press R to resume. Hehe! Weird sh*t placing both feet on the floor mat and doing 75mph on the M66.... See, it doesnt take much to impress those people with small, fragile minds.... :D

I have to say, with the external temp flashing away at -1 and barely reaching 0 by the time I got to work, the little 182 has behaved itself brilliantly. Obviously, no one in their right mind takes their car to the legal limits in this cold weather, but the composure over my ex 4-wheeled...

What do people think of it in Evo magazine? I think it looks great - not sure I could look at that colour everyday though. It certainly stands out.

Not sure if this has happened to others on here, but Ive still got the adhesive backing on the drivers door cill from where a protective strip was placed during transport. Ive tried to get it off with both Auto Glyms intensive tar remover and the bumper care solutions, but it only takes a...

.... if you could have just one feature off your previous car(s) in a Clio, what would it be? Mines really trivial, but the boot release catch on my Punto was great! I wish that was on my 182.... D.

Ive no way of proving/disproving this, but here goes... My car is 6 weeks old and since Ive had it, it pulls very slightly to the right. Hardly noticable most of the time, but every now and then, you could feel it. Id always put it down to the camber of the road, etc, so I wasnt particularly...

What are the views on cleaning stuff for the Clio? Ive used Auto Glym stuff for years and found that its bloody good and the shine lasts for quite some time afterwards. Especially if you use the additional polish once its dried. Any suggestions for good-non abrasive wheel cleaning fluid as...

....... is there any such car in the offering? With Hondas Type-R benchmark just a smidgen under 200bhp, are we likely to see Renault raise the bar to 192bhp with the next revision? Anyone heard/seen anything to prove/disprove this? Cheers, D.

Took it easy with my car for the time being. A combination of willpower and the fact that most of the Christmas period was spent drinking meant that for the first 1,000 miles, I didnt blat the engine too much. Last night, the four-figure mark was broken and I decided to get it a 6,000rpm+...

When I was washing my car the other day, I noticed a strip of adhesive backing left on the drivers cill. Obviously, it was where a protective film was placed during manufacture/shipping of it, but has anyone got some decent ideas of what will shift it? I was tempted to use some of that tar...
