On my daughters Clio it was the switch on the passenger door. Take switch off, spray contact cleaner on connections, turn the key switch on & off a few times. This fixed it about a year ago & has not come back.

I didn't know they still made these.

Looks great! How do you get it so clean around the ST badges?

Check the dogbone & engine mounts as it sounds like the engine rocking as you put your foot down.

On my daughter's 1.2, I took off the passenger side door airbag key switch & cleaned with swich cleaner. Also turned the airbag key on & off afew times and it's never come on again.

About 3 months ago. It still feels smooth & looks shiny, just looks a bit grey again. Thanks for the advice, I will try that now!

Quick question, I used a DA with black Hex Logic pad with Tripple followed by Tough coat on pearl black a few months ago, but it hasn't stayed as black as I want. I want to polish again tomorrow, but don't have time to go and get any new materials. Can I use AG Paint renovator with the DA & if...

Ok thanks for the answer, I got the stuff a while ago & chucked it in the garage waiting for better weather. I thought using Tripple would be good as I thought I read Gally used it like that on his Trophy. Anyway if I use the softest pads for my first try with a DA should be little chance of...

Quick question, I'm sure will be easy to answer from someone used to detailing! I now have a DA & intend to wash, Iron X, wash, then use the DA with AF Tripple followed by AF Tough Coat. Car, my daughters PB 1.2. I have Hex Logic pads & there are 3 of them- Orange Medium Heavy Cutting Pad...

I bought this one for my daughters car. Worked well http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/RENAULT-CLIO-1-2-16V-SPARK-PLUG-SPANNER-WRENCH-NEW-/150793923159?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&fits=Model%3AClio&hash=item231c04aa57

Love that, it so makes me want a Trophy!

Xenon headlamp level sensor?

I don't know you & don't often post on CS, but I have admired your BG often so just want to wish you & your GF a speedy recovery. Could have been so much worse.

I used diluted G101 on my daughters wheel, worked well

I had social/domestic, I added commuting and the price went down by £50!

Thanks for that tip as well James

Thanks Peanuthead, with that information, I have done a quick search and think I will get the DAS 6, sounds just what i want.

I have been thinking of getting a rotary EP801 after reading this review http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?657283-The-EP801-is-finally-here However after looking at more reviews and advice on CS and DW, I wonder if a DA would be better. I am no expert and have been trying to improve...

I tried the Tripple today on my car, just as you see on tests in detailing world, I taped off the wing in two parts & I was amazed how you could see the difference between the polished side & the unpolished (photo came out crap though!) Anyway, I can't wait for my daughter to come home so we can...

OK that's great, thanks a lot

Thanks for the quick reply, Yellow Dave, Toughcoat is also Auto Finesse, is that right? If so it makes sense. What is Werkstatt? I thought it was something to do with the bauhaus!

Having read through this again and a load of other detailing threads, I have got some AF Tripple to do my daughters Clio when she's back from uni at Christmas. I have a question though. I understand that the Tripple has a wax/sealant in it, but should I use a sealant over the top? I have AG...

I fitted Connects2 ipod adapter with standard HU in my daughters Clio Ph2, it works well and has volume and track on or back from steering wheel. I had Xcarlink in my Volvo V70 T5 and that was also good, you could select playlists as well as track on and back.

Have a check on your insurance. I noticed that at last renewal with Hastings direct, I get free vandalism repair & it doesn't count as a claim, don't pay excess or lose NCB. Just have to provide police crime reference number. By the way really sorry for you a real shame for that to happen to a...

They look great have a look at this thread from Rob_SRI http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?561737-Stealthy-182-Progress-Thread I love that!

Find someone with a Vax machine. I spilt a new 5 ltr can of floor varnish in the back of my volvo V70. All thick light brown carpets and I got it out the next day. Also in the past I got oil based paint out of a stair carpet , that was a new 1 ltr can of white!

I take it that using the drill/driver isn't a good idea! Thanks so much for the offer John182rs, I really do appreciate it, but most likely not viable. I am in Bexhill on Sea (between Hastings & Eastbourne on the Sussex coast) and my daughter with the black 1.2 16v is at uni in Norwich at the...

From reading the replies, it seems most people reckon that a machine polish is what is needed. Now bear in mind that until recently I used a yellow sponge, washing up liquid & a chamois, I just wondered if I could use my DeWalt drill/driver with a polishing pad? I have seen Gally recommend a...
