    What Clio's have people owned?

    11mpg that's chicken oriental. Audi will hold it's money well! Not on topic but all the 318ds I'm looking at have nearly 100k on which is very annoying and I know the prices will hardly shift.

    What Clio's have people owned?

    I struggle to mention a car which handles better, is that quick, still returns decent mpg and has cheap parts for that price! I'd never buy one new though because the depreciation is unreal.

    What Clio's have people owned?

    on my seventh at the moment having peaked at my last 182 4 dcis 3 sports, 1 ph1 and 2 182 ff I always get asked why I like Clios and it's just that you cannot beat their bang for buck. Now I'm trying to move away from them though as I was a hassle free car ownership. I was looking at BMW's but...

    Pov spec mk2 dash

    yes you can add in the display, I've done it to our clio. you will need to get hold of a tunerlist radio stalk control loom, display and dash

    Mk 2 parcel shelf?

    will fit, check colour though

    wiring looms

    It's not like the above with clios. They are loomed usually speced to the car. Abs, heater matrix, heater box, aircon, will all be built into 172 ff loom

    Why oh why do people love Trendlines?

    Oem. Mine are comfy, hold their value and sit nice a low. What's the point in having nice seats if they're always covered?

    How long does it take to fit...??

    And that can be a bloody horrible job! I'd say 2 all in then

    Car not starting, flickering lights

    I can't watch the video but I had this on one of our cars before and the battery was being drained by some rubbish aftermarket wiring. Change the battery. Use some jump leads to try jumping from another car to confirm though

    Cruise control on a RS 172 or a dCi (DIY)

    Ahh I forgot to add you don't do anything to the uch, just change the ECU and clock settings

    Service light as a result of missing airbags

    You can programme the airbags out on clip. I've done this for the pretensioners and side airbags when fitting new seats. Resistors otherwise m3r3 from maplin if I remember right.

    Slight temperature issue

    Yeah I'd guess at cold weather. When it's all warmed up it should be able to work on atleast fan one without loosing any temperature.

    Aftermarket alarm import 172

    Does it work to unlock the car? I would check if any of the original wiring has been damaged before starting to take the original alarm out. With a ecu kit you change the ecu, uch, key fob and decoder ring. Keeping all the same locks. Doesn't take long to change if the ECU cover plays ball.

    Steering veers under braking

    So, braided brake lines on the front, still doing exactly the same thing. Will put it on the brake machine again tomorrow to see if it's any better. I'm starting to loose hope with the stupid car now :(

    Boot creased in accident - automatic write-off?

    time is money. Complications may be found with an older car when replacing panels, there is just an increased risk of carrying out work like that in a car which isn't worth a great deal. If it were a new car with plenty of money left in the pot before it became a t loss then it would be...

    Slight temperature issue

    a sign of thermostat is then temp drops when driving but car warms up when stationary as radiator isn't cooling.

    Cruise control on a RS 172 or a dCi (DIY)

    good to hear you got the pins. You need CLIP to program the clocks. To perform a configuration dashboard, follow the essential steps below: 1 - Make a multiplex network test and ensure compliance. If the multiplex network is not compliant (see MR multiplexing). 2 -. Disconnect then reconnect...

    172 was four up on the sea front White 200 parked up with a small Scottish flag sticker on the boot

    Slight temperature issue

    Heaters being on full drain heat unless your going some. I have my heater on cold until it gets full up to temp as It makes the car warm quicker.

    How long does it take to fit...??

    springs 1 hour tops for both. Make sure they're the right springs. If not a specialist he's likely to order the wrong springs for the front unless using genuine parts. Rear abs sensor could take 10 minutes if the original comes out easily. Could be much longer if retaining screw is bust.

    Is my clio taking too much antifreeze?

    No. The 65 with ac has an all in one radiator. check it has the brackets to slot the intercooler in to.

    Has anyone fitted an armrest (MK2)?

    in a rear wheel drive car with a longitudinally mounted engine yes. The clio like most modern cars is transverse mounted so doesn't have a driveline/gearbox tunnel, only a small bump for the exhaust tunnel. In my golf the arm rest was beautiful when cruising but had to be raised when driving in...

    Is my clio taking too much antifreeze?

    That's an 80 bhp model isn't it. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Clio-1-5-Dci-80-Radiator-/231416986362?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item35e186fafa Very easy to change yourself in less than an hour.

    Aftermarket alarm import 172

    Yes. Get rid of the add in alarm. Buy a new kit. How do you know the original kit doesn't work though. It may be double immobilised.

    Has anyone fitted an armrest (MK2)?

    I thought about this a while ago I think it would be best to fabricate a bracket that bolts to the bottom of the seat runners. I see no way to mount the pictured one as there isn't a gearbox tunnel like it appears to be designed for.

    Boot creased in accident - automatic write-off?

    the ph1 172 I had in the summer had a crease in the boot floor. Drove it for thousands of miles, round the ring and through all the alps. It's really nothing to worry about. If the boot is difficult to close do a Jeremy Clarkson and hit it out with a hammer, the boot floors are weak, the rails...

    Boot creased in accident - automatic write-off?

    Depending on age and mileage that is likely to be dead. Would be easy to repair by giving it a tug on a jig but the insurer will have to put it back to how it was before and a tug is unlikely to do that. This is what I wrote down once if you can be bothered to read it! Estimation The insurer...

    Steering veers under braking

    Thanks for all the info Steve, hope you had a good Christmas. I read that article on Tomorros Tech as well and it's what got me looking down the brake line route. I originally had eibach prokit but have now changed to sportlines and the problem persists. All tyres are correctly inflated. Before...
