Mine doesn't! Or won't at least. Hehe. The clio will handle better out the box though, whereas the Vectra needs money throwing at it. I can see where you're coming from though. The estates were my fave. My 2.5 was pretty good, but still, went wrong more than a car should.

Oh I'll agree, if I was to pick one, the GSI would top the lot, but at the end of the day, they're cheaply built and go wrong horrendously sometimes. I can't see why anyone would pay that much for a Vectra. As for tax, you're right. Still,the late ones are £270 a year. According to Parkers...

Hahaha. In your opinion Daniel. You can pick up Vectra C's now for less than that. Plus don't these fall into the ridiculous tax bracket too?

Correct! :)

It's a Vectra for a start. Having owned mine for 5 and a half years, I would never, ever, pay that much for one. Just because someone is willing to pay that much for it, doesn't make it a good price. There's a legendary thread on VVOC, of someone who sold one for £10k only a year or so back...

Massively over priced. Even with that low mileage. I wouldn't have another. Rust buckets, and expensive to maintain. Parts are dirt cheap, but they fail so often.

I will hopefully be going. Just gotta get my ticket. Be rude not too, seeing as it's only about 5 miles up the road! :D

Likewise. I'm changing from the Vectra to the Clio. It's £90 cheaper for a start, at £250. Then, non-performance mods are free. A remap would cost me £60 more. Win!

Put a deposit down for it!

Well, I rang my local dealer (Jaybee),and gave them the reg. They told me it was 96k/ 6 years.

Lol - you say that to all the DCi owners! I'm already on there fella. Pretty sure you said "welcome" on my newbie post too! :D

It was ok - cambelt isn't due on the later DCI' till 96k miles or 6 years.

Put my deposit down today. Pretty chuffed! Unfortunately didn't get my own piccies - that'll be next week! Here's the dealer's pics. DCi 86 model with A/C It's got some minor scuffs on the back bumper that I will get sorted. Also; the trim around the radio, has actually peeled away and is...

Ok, further to the comment on the cambelt. It's not the above, it's actually 96k miles or 6 years! Seems quite a long time to me?

Looking at this Clio DCi: http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201221472498771/usedcars?logcode=visc Just rang them up (the garage), and asked some questions. All HPI clear, fresh certificate available. FSH - 5 stamps. Seems to have been to the dealer for the first 2, then an...

Cheers dude. Will get some pics up this weekend of the condition they're in. Going car shopping tomorrow for the car they'll hopefully be going on! :D

Hey folks. So, Clio Mk3 Dynamique. Been a while since I did any audio upgrades to a car. Headunit to start of course. I assume an ISO adapter is needed? Is there anything for the steering wheel controls to work with an aftermarket stereo? Also, has anyone mounted their Ipod in their car...

I like it. It's different, and I'm a fan of the green on black. Not such a fan of the tints. Makes it look like a van.

Holy crap! Wonder if we'll see any twisters this year?

That link is for a DIY kit. For mine though, I sent him bits, or bought them from him ready done. He was at the time a Vectra owner, and was picking up the light switch units, switches, etc, from the scrappy, cleaning them up, fitting the LED's and then selling them.

This guy is popular in the Vectra club I'm in. I've used his LED's, but not SMD's. However, his work is pretty damned good. http://www.crazyleds.co.uk/Clio-MK2-Full-SMD-LED-dash-conversion-kit..html

Will have to ask each supplier it seems, as the Eibach's for example from Venom Motorsport show it as the overall size per axle. I.e. 20mm, is 10mm each side. Wheels arrived today! Well chuffed. Couriers managed to pick them up yesterday, and they arrived mid-morning at work. 1 bit of...

Yeah, I've done some reading and seen what happens with non-hubcentric spacers! :eek: It's certainly not something to spend cheap on! When they say in the kit, it's 40mm say, is that the total width - I.e. 20mm each side?

Cheers fella. Will take a gander!

Anyway, back to business. Anyone got an tips on the best places to get spacers?

FLOL. Thanks for that informative post!

Hehe. Sorry Tony. Saw him again on the way home.

Can't even find 35mm ones! :D Ideally could do with seeing if anyone nearby has any 20mm/ 25mm spacers and see what they'd look like

You got a link to the spacers you bought fella? Also, is your Clio lowered?
