Ill try and cut this short as I can lol.....
Girlfriend bought a brand new clio 1.2 16v dynamique, collected in on the 1st of september so we had the new 54 plate! :)
Kept hearing a little clicking sound at slow speeds, which after investigation by the dealer turned out to be both left side...
Realised after picking up the new clio, Renault are a bit tight and dont give you carpets in them.....
Just wondering what everyone has put in their new clios?
Thinking of getting some from http://www.carmats4u.comwww.carmats4u.com
Ill be getting some cliosports ones from...
The girlfriend picked up her 1.2 16v dynamique on wednesday, and Ive just noticed their is a strange clicking noise coming from the front left.
Pretty sure its the front left, but I was on the passenger side.
Clicking become faster and she went faster (about 10mph) but couldnt hear it after...

seems to be very cheap.
looking for quote for the g/f on her new clio and its the cheapest by over a hundred quid! (£412 instead of £513 from asda)
also, done a quick quote for her parents, was £138, cheapest theyd had was £180...
my local auto elec place are gonna wire up a solenoid to open my boot for me, and are willing to wire it up to my clifford alarm.
they just said they need the instrution manual so they know the outputs (I think thats what he said, but hey I aint no auto electrian lol)
had a look through all...
Any of the laydee cliosporters out there got cheap insurance (what am I saying...all women get cheap insurance lol!)
My g/f has ordered a brand new 1.2 16v dynamique.
Shes 22, and this will be her first policy, even though shes been driving for over 4 years.
At the moment Asda Insurance...
Just got back from ordering a brand new Clio 1.2 Dynamique in metallic black with the missus.
Just gotta wait about 6 weeks for it......
Still prefer the valver tho hehe!
Has anyone got any pics of one of these?
Do they look any difference to the normal dynamique?
The reason being my g/f is after buying a new car, and she wants a Clio!
Found a good deal in the paper on a 1.4 16v one of these, but the picture in the paper doesnt look like a normal dynamique...
Everything just seems to go wrong!
Its currently sat in a garage with no front brake cos the 4pot kit is sh*te and wont f**king fit, and I wont get it back til at least next week now.
Everything seems to be that much more hassle with it. Its not the car itself, its just Renault and Clio and...
My mechanic has just phoned up a bit ago saying hes having trouble fitting my kit.
He was saying summit about the caliper/pads not lining up right against the disc.
Anyone else had this trouble? I seem to remember someone did......
Just spent the last hour tearing my garage apart trying to find my cat for the valvers MOT re-test on Friday.
Quite typically, it was in the last place I looked!
Id forgotten how big it was compared to my straight through de-cat pipe.....
Failed on the effiencey(sp) of both sides of the handbrake.
Only spoken to my mate (whos my mechanic) on the phone, but he reckons at worst I could need new rear calipers, depending on the set up of the handbrake.
I know most peoples handbrakes on their valvers are crap, just wondering how...
Right then, my car failed its MOT today due to an excessively noisy exhaust, even though the same bloke passed it last year but heh......
Anyway, Ive got the original K-Tec exhaust system and a straight through de-cat pipe which in truth does make it very loud. I havent heard a louder exhaust...
& dont anybody say anything, I like them so I dont care who doesnt......
Anyway, just got my smoked ones from K-Tec today, fitted them and all looked good.
Tested out all the lights work, but the indicators dont work (they will on hazards) and the brake lights wont work.
Side lights...
Can I open my boot from the inside?
The valvers in the bodyshop in a fortnight and Im getting the boot de-locked, but dont think Ill get time to sort out the solenoid to open it before it goes in......
Cheers

F**KIN BOLLOX!
After only 3 months too!
Just caught the left rear on the kerb off a T-Junction, would have got away with it if the kerb was about 8inches high!
So, Ive got a nice couple of scuff marks just on the edge, not too deep but they well stand out.
Any suggestions of how to make...
Basically, didnt notice a copper behind this other car off a r/a and preceded to accelerate upto about 45/50 in a 30. Empty d/c at 10:30pm, but still that shouldnt excuse me.
Anyway, got a written warning that I had to sign (Section 59 I think they called it), saying if Im caught driving like...
Thinking about getting my boot de-locked.
Ive had a search about how to do this (any other advise would be cool tho), but Im not sure if I can hook it up to my alarm.
I have a Clifford, the button is there waiting for summit to do lol......
A few people have asked me about my power/torque figures being slightly high for a lowly, if somewhat tuned, 1.8 16v......
.....well the answer - wheel spin lol!
Had some problems getting a decent run on the rollers and getting readings, but the first run lit up the rollers (well my tyres...
Im after some red/black seat covers as at the moment, I havent got the cash for a leather/alcantara re-trim like Id like.
Any ideas of where to look? Cant find a decent set anywhere.......

My front brakes are finally shagged from over a years abuse so Im splashing out on a big brake conversion.
Im after the 310mm conversion with new 4 pots, but a few questions before I spend my £££s....
Does anyone know the difference between the K-Tec and BBPT kits? The K-Tec is more...
There seems to be a lot of us on here that have this problem, that the revs suddenly drop to about 500rpm on idle and then pick back up, and then repeats.....
Has anyone actually cured it if they had this problem?
So far, Ive replaced;
Lambda Sensor (twice - 1st time with a universal one...
Ideas
I have my two ClioSport stickers in the rear side windows, a large K-Tec one on the windscreen, and a little K-Tec one on the top of the rear window.
Need space at the bottom of the rear window for my mates bodyshop (who does the work cheap on my car hehe!)
I cant think of anywhere...
The last couple of weeks my power steering has started making a bit of a noise.
I checked the fluid level and its full, no leaks or anything.
Is this something I need to worry about, or just learn to live with the noise.....
So Ive just ordered another sandwich plate with built in stat, as the other one has stuck open.
How hard are they to fit, and how long do you think it will take for a good mechanic to swap over? Will I have to drain the oil first to do it?
Just want an idea of the cost of labour, as I need...
Right, had an Oil Cooler fitted last week by Nick at HillPower.
I got a sandwich plate with a built in 80 degree stat.
Nick said it was running about 90 degrees on the m/way, and fair enough on the way home, it was running about 80-85.
The problem is now, after a couple of days, the oil is...
