Doesn't sound good Amir! Hope it turns out to be something simple! I'm sure my bottom end is on it's way out as well.. gulp! Perfect excuse to slam a Willy engine in there though!

I think Midge has a couple of valver engines sitting around he wants to get rid of? Send him a PM and see if he has any!

dont expect any performance gains!

Personally i'd recommend something like the Iomega NAS storage boxes. They have 4 x hot swappable HDD's in a RAID 5 cofiguration, so if one drive fails you just take it out, stick another in, and it automatically replicates the data and rebuilds the RAID 5 array. Very nifty! They run a...

I think he means the backlights for all of the dials!

I don't like the grey, i want my entire interior to be the same colour black as the top of the dash around the dials, i think that'd look smart, much like newer cars. Can't be bothered to do it though, no doubt the paint would chip off because of the dodgy texture on all the interior plastic.

Why have you got two batteries in your car? I'm guessing for a sound system by the presence of a 4AWG cable?

Get some valver stalks in there? Dunno, never seen the innards of behind a steering wheel so wouldn't know..

I wanted to get mine working with my Sony head unit. I went to Halfords and they had a kit there to make it work with my particular headunit, but it was about £30! I thought, fook that, what a ripoff! There was a little black box in there which seemed to do something, but i don't know what...

I think i heard that if you run some engine cleaner through it and thrash it about for a while before the MOT it might get through? Dunno really, i just put my cat back on, after all it's not difficult. Having said that i let a garage do it as i couldn't be arsed and it only cost me £10.

Good lad! :D Ask for the 197 test drive car or something...

I totally understand your frustration! Just bear in mind your warranty runs out soon so you really need to get that sorted ASAP, as no doubt you'll probably have more problems to come. While the car is sitting at Renault not being looked at your warranty is running out.... I hope the engine...

Wtf, your car is dead and under warranty and they won't even look at it until october? Now i'm normally quite a passive and calm person and tend to avoid confrontation but if that was happening to me and they were messing me about i would seriously lose the plot! The very LEAST they can do is...

Never driven a MK2 but i would image they're probably smoother to drive than my valver, the engine rocks about no end in mine, really annoying! MK1 for looks though, don't like the bubble-shape of the newer Clio's..

Isn't it covered under warranty? If it's faulty why should you pay for it? DIY i say, makes you feel good when you fix things yourself, then at least you know its been done properly.

Untick 'Hide Resolutions this Monitor can't display' ? Not really sure TBH

Perhaps your car would run cooler if you put coolant in it rather than crystals? :rasp:

I always flash and toot at other Valver drivers, don't normally flash 172s/182s unless i spot a ClioSport sticker. Love seeing valvers around especially black ones as they're quite rare around here!

Love that pic of your car Freebone!! Shepperdspie, why is your car so low at the back? I thought it was because the guy in the back was fat obviously not!!

It was meeee!! Sorry for laughing, wasn't expecting it to be a diesel! Sounded like it wasn't going to start! Cheers for letting me out of the car park :)

Saw loads of cars with ClioSport stickers in parked up in the collectors section at Donny Park today! I was parked in the public car park unfortunately :( Saw a diesel MK1, blue, with grey willy wheels in the car park as i was leaving as well, not sure whether it was anyone off here? Thanks...

Thanks Rich, Any ideas how much new switches are from Renault?

Nobody ever changed them before?

Well they had 55 profile tyres on them i think, they made the steering a lot heavier and they just felt really sloppy on corners. Wasn't the fault of the alloys i guess it was just the tyres they had on. Looks a lot better though :)

lol :D Going to view them this weekend and hopefully purchase! I have some 14" Megane coupé alloys on at the moment, oh the same :o

lol, you lot are missing the point! I've had to take the 17's off as they were too large, kept catching in the right rear arch on the metal that holds the rear bumper on. I'm looking for some new wheels, i know the 17s looked nice being white and all that so i thought the white willy wheels...

I've taken those massive 17" wheels off as they were far too big, and i'm currently on some 14" nasty alloys. Considering the white williams wheels. What's your opinion? Obviously it's just a photoshop for now, so i haven't bought them yet! Before: After:

Bargain! I have a set of these on my valver at the moment as i'm waiting for some new wheels. They look ugly but are good for ragging around on! I used to have them on my 1.2 clio, but it made the handling extremely bad

I've got a brilliant contract with Orange at the moment, 2000 texts per month and 100 mins, just for £25 a month :) I sent between 1000-1800 texts per month.

I'm in the process of fixing everything in the interior of my valver that doesn't work. At the moment i'm tackling bulbs, as it really annoys me to see things not lit up that should be. The entire row of buttons (hazards, fogs, heated windows), don't light up. I know all three bulbs are blown...
