Fixed now. It was the temperature sender!

I'll tell her to get a 1*2 then!

OK may have to try that combination, thanks!

I don't have a machine polisher, which doesn't help! I've heard the blackhole is good, can you buy it in Halfrauds etc? Cliotoby, I haven't had a black car for years myself (1275GT in 1980 & two XR3is between 1986 & 1996) but just bought one so will have that to do as well Ha!

Cleaned my daughters 1.2 16v pearl black in the following way. Wash, clay bar, wash, Autoglym paint renovator, Autoglym Super Resin Polish, Autoglym Extra Gloss Protection. It's lovely and shiny, but somehow not as black as we hoped. We saw plenty of Clios at FCS that looked SO much more black...

Hi My wifes Mk1 has been hard to start for a few days, then today when we got it going, it revs at 3000rpm. Went to my local garage, who thought it was the idle speed control motor (stepper motor) so have changed that and it's the same. Any ideas? Help much apreciated

Looks really good, but you need a new number plate, that one is illegible

I changed washers on both my daughters Clios, (Mk2 Ph1 & Mk2 Ph2) with washers from Citroen C4 part number c6438ca, they work really well much better than standard. I told the Citroen dealer I was member of C4owners.org, he had never heard of it, but gave me 10% off anyway, so worth a try!

Looks very nice, I like grey Clios. Nice Excel also! What colour have you done the wheels as I was thinking of doing that sort of colour on my daughters 1.2 Dynamique?

looks like an old version of this to me!

I have had lots of cars without ABS and as someone else said, I didn't die once! It can be slower to stop in some circumstances. Its not meant to be a sustitute for driving! Learn to cadence brake http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cadence_braking

Hi looking at your thread & liking it. My 1st car was an Orange 1973 Mini 1000 (back in 1978) I had the head flowed & it made a huge difference. The centre speedo would go right round past the ignition light! My 2nd, 3rd & 4th cars were two 1275GTs & a Clubman Estate! Hope you continue to enjoy...

As Benevs says, use silicon. I've done two now, one 3 years ago & one a year ago, both still ok

Like new (only better!)

The starter could be stuck on the flywheel ringear. With ignition off, put it in 4th & push it back & forwards a bit. If that's the problem you should hear the starter click off from the gear. Hope that helps

That looks lovely! What did you use for the wheels? My daughter has a 1.2 Dynamique in black just like yours & I would like to do the wheels for her Just noticed the gear lever as well-great

You choose "only sync selected songs" then tick the songs you want & click "sync"

You are so much smoother & faster through the bends, but he pulls away on the straight, well done to get past him in the end! I don't usually like these track videos, but I watched all of that!

On my wifes Mk1 the wire was broken as it enters the tailgate

Looks really nice, I had an XR3i (MK3) in 86 & another (MK4) in 90 both black. Never got a Turbo, but a friend of mine had an XR2 Turbo. Even the XR3 didn't hang around as they are so light compared to modern cars.

In that case you must see 2 lane blacktop as well!

Re: seat bet cleaner?? I used upholstery cleaner & it worked fine

Both my daughters have a Clio Age 20 has Mk2 Ph 1 1.2 8v got when she was 17 Age 18 has Mk 2 Ph 2 1.2 16v got when she was 17 Both want a 182 but can't bear to get rid of first car!

I had something similar on a Golf GTI, where the back end would really step out of line alarmingly. Cured it by having a 4 wheel alignment setup. Not cheap, but well worth it.

I did it with ignition off, think I sprayed contact cleaner on it as well

Under the drivers seat. Usually unclipping & clipping up again fixes it. (until the next time!)
