Hi I've got it down to two monitors atm which I'm thinking of going as mine packed in last night! Can't decide... any opinions...

This is how it ended up after the weekend. Fag lighter easy, knob I had to saw off, and drilling holes in for the surround was fun! Still... happy with all that. Now the problem is somethings missing, can you guess what it is lol? I have a Richbrook gaitor too, but can't quite work it out? It...

Hey I know these guys take a while to deliver... it says on my email allow up to 28 days. It's been just over that now, just wondering how long other people have waited? I'll probably get in contact next week anyway, but do you think I should be waiting much longer?

Hi thinking of getting a 32" TV for my room (LCD obviously) I have a 26" atm... I have a very strong shelf that it's placed on, as my TV had known problems with being wall mounted unfortunately! I think the 32" will fit, although it will be tight. But where I watch films and where I play...

Hi so got my Bosch wipers the other day... Tried getting the standard ones off, how!? With my mum's Corsa it took like one second just lift up and off. But with the Clio seems like there's a pin in there or something stopping it? Any pressure makes it look like you're gonna snap the arm...

Hi noticed one of my front wipers is bent and the rubber has fallen down (and doesn't want to seem to go back in place!) I want to order some new ones, and might as well uprate them at the same time. I heard ages ago Bosch were the best, is this still the case? Do they make brand specific...

Hi didn't know where to post but it's to do with brake pads so... Just checking this is right as if so, I'm quite astounded tbh! Just added one pair of front pads to my basket, delivery charge - £8.00 (which seems a lot in the first place, but fair enough, I could deal with that) Added the...

Just got my car back from a service, all good, but I need to replace the pads all round within the next six months, so the garage man says. He explained them as being 70% worn on the front, and 50% on the back, realistically how many miles am I looking to get out of them? I've been looking...

Damn it :mad: Just done a 15 mile trip from cinema to girlfriend to mine... first corner off from girlfriends went round a corner so slow I was hardly moving (was pouring with snow!) and slowly drifted into a curb. Felt ABS kick in but despite my efforts nothing could stop me from sliding...

Just got back from a nice 2 1/2hr clean in 0°C lol... anyway, worst looking thing on the car atm is around the badges, just cannot get the dirt away. I did have a little detail brush somewhere (can't find it) but remember using it on my 206 and it wasn't all that tbh. What do you do for a...

Hi my girlfriend might be over taking my contract, but mine doesn't run out until September, which means I can upgrade in June right? She doesn't want the phone I currently have, and doesn't want to wait that long. But... can I phone Orange and say I want to start another 18 months from now...

Just been thinking today of what to do when I come to sell my car. Thinking I might take my Recaros with me to put in my next car as I love them! Plus I'd be downgrading next time so probably have some s**te cloth seats or something :dead: thinking along the lines of R5 GTT, Escort RS Turbo etc...

I've always felt that my Clio was a bit on the wavey side, steering would feel light going round a roundabout at normal speeds! Coming back from work tonight, went round a roundabout about 25mph and the back end was sliding all over the place, managed to keep calm and keep it from spinning...

I'm about to get my first ever service :rasp: My car's in the past have either not been worth enough to warrant it, or on sky high miles. The Clio is the first I definitely wanna keep on top of! So... I hit 48k last night. Up until now the services have been... 12k @ Renault Romford 24k @...

From K-Tec... http://www.k-tecracing.com/show_product.asp?id=2400 One question for anyone that's used one... Now my EML comes on because my downstream lambda sensor is knackered, which doesn't effect the car's performance. I reset this with Clip, and it lasts usually around 50 miles...

I was just wonder does "Cambelt, pulley and tensioner change" mean the same as what everyone gets, i.e. cambelt and aux belt iirc? Its just it seems like a very good price, being that that would be £504.85 for the above plus a service!? God bless VAT reduction lol, a massive saving of...

Was searching for new pics for a new site coming and came across this... What was your favourite? I like the tank :cool: did Renault used to make 'em? That would be a cool logo to make now and get on front on my Clio! Think I remember the 1972-92 one from my mum's old R5 :clown: (not a...

Firstly... are these the same thing? Need to get one as changing the manifold/CAT ring didn't help unfortunately! Does anyone know how much Renault charge and if any where else does them cheaper? Shame K-Tec don't seem to stock them as they got the other part in for a great price. Cheers...

Okay just went out to put some more water in my jets (for the first time!) and in the freezing cold, in the dark, with my tiny camera light... I couldn't find where to put the water for my washer jets? :quiet: help, lol!

As above... they replied to my suspension fitting query but haven't got a responce yet about the exhaust, anyone know?

Didn't know which section to post in as I'm asking about two things, hope that's okay... So I'm about to apply my first proper mod to my Clio, I'm deciding between an induction kit and lowering. If I were to go for the induction kit, what's the best, most powerful one to get? Read a few...

Only bought my car in August, where it passed the MOT thanks to the garage... but I reckon they did me over, because a month later I put it through an MOT test at work and it failed on emissions (badly!) Is there a common part that goes to make the idle test fail? Was about 3-4 times over the...

Was driving to the girlfriends last night and it felt a bit extra lumpy in first gear, ignored it and it went away... Anyway drove home from hers later and coming down her road it felt so bad like the car wasn't even turned on properly :dapprove: changed into second and it was even worse, just...

Noticed my belt is rubbing on the top bit of the seat every time I'm driving... looks a bit rubbish. The alcantera has gone kinda shiny and looks worn :mad: anyone else get this and is there anything to do about it?

Last night after dropping the girlfriend home I decided to hammer it down one road (despite my thread in clio discussion :rasp:) Had a wtf moment, as I saw my rear window completely covered, it struck me it was exhaust fumes. Still had a lot of road left so hammered it through 3rd gear as...

Had it come on a few times, then next time I turned the car on it would be gone... hadn't been on for ages so just forgot about it. However, it's been on solid for about three days now. Ran Clip on it and it came up with no faults? In fact, before I had an error showing up regarding ABS, but...

Is it just me, or do you never get to put your foot down these days? Obviously the 1*2's really come alive at the magical 5k... I can only remember getting to 5k once this month :quiet: (in 2nd) it just seems kinda pointless having a car with any speed! I think having a sporty car is just for...

Do the Clios need one? Looking on k-tec's website, they offer services @ 12k, 24k, 36k & 72k... just wondering if this is the norm? And if not why have k-tec missed it off? http://www.k-tecracing.com/services.asp

As mentioned in another thread, my coolant tank is running on literally the bare minimum! Is it just water that goes in there or is it mixed with anything? Also, it appears there's no fluids in my power steering bottle what-so-ever :eek: what do I need to put in there? Thanks [/n00b]

Now, firstly I need to ask you a question. I've noticed more and more that my car is really raspy when accelerating hard between about 2k-3k, now I love it! Think it sounds wicked, was actually boasting about it to my bro :clown: But... as time goes on, I think it might not actually meant to...
