Well guys, the time has come for me to say goodbye to my Clio :) He's being part-ex'd tomorrow for my new car. I'll still pop in here from time to time cos the community atmosphere is cool so I'll still be around making random posts :) Thanks to all of you who have helped me out with any of...

Not sure at the moment, struggling to decide what to get! Won't be another Clio tho.

Don't think I can sell private cos I can't be without a car and can't buy without the money from this one :( I had it on Autotrader earlier this year and £4750 and it didn't go :(

Looking to part ex my Clio for something new, it's a 2004 53 Plate 1.4 Dynamique with 34000 miles on the clock. Been told the book price is £3700 - is this right?

I've got a 1.4 and right now me and it are really not seeing eye to eye :( It's doing 20-25mpg max around town, and that's driving it incredibly carefully. If I had to get another Clio it would be a DCi but to be honest I can't see me buying another one.

Blimey that's pretty squashed, don't think I'd have thought about filming it myself tho!

You can drop it down, but yeah they are a nightmare to get hold of :( I've found they answer quicker if you ring from a landline.

Well that's my job for the weekend then - finding someone to do it for me that is lol :)

Good afternoon :) I've decided I'm getting rid of the Clio, it's not got many mods but the one which I think may make it difficult to part-ex is the fact that it's lowered and has different wheels. I have the original suspension and wheels, do I stick them back on for it to go?

Cheers Alex, I think I'll have to get you to have a squizz at it, you mentioning the misfire reminds me that a couple of weeks ago it had a moment where it acted as though one of the coils wasn't working. Spark plugs and all 4 coils have been replaced since the beginning of the year but maybe I...

In a 1.4 :dapprove: bloody hell I want some decent power if I have to put up with this rubbish lol!

lol mine says it will do 400 on a tank when I first put it in, never gets any where near that tho :(

lol not sure I can afford to live with it :( or at least not to drive it :D

Seems I'm not alone then :( think it might have to go to make way for a diesel then!

This week I've spent £55 and done about 400 miles I guess, maybe a bit less.

Hmm maybe it is different because of where I'm driving now, used to do about 20-30 mile journeys on open roads, now it's usually 10 miles max, a lot of that in town. Just scares me how much money I'm spending on fuel! Anyone got a bike I can borrow? lol!

Can I ask what your driving style is like? I have the odd mad moment but in general I'm not driving it hard at all, in fact probably less than I did when I first had it!

Just wondering what the other owner's of 1.4's get as an average mpg? Mine is really bad at the moment, struggling to get 30! I do a lot of town driving but even so, it seems incredibly low. When I first got it I could get 50mpg reasonably easily but then that wasn't in town. Put £15 worth...

My God, I was spotted months ago and I never even knew! Car's not looking quite so good now, had a couple of little knocks :(

I have a 30Gb Video and as mentioned before the chrome back scratches easily but the front still looks mint :) I haven't used the video function much yet but fully intend to when I go on holiday. Oh and the headphone socket is on the top.

I got it working, thanks to all :) It was the fuse for the interior light, replaced it and all is good now.

OK will have a go at that, do you know where the fuse box under the bonnet is located?

Haven't got a multimeter, I think my brother does tho, maybe I can borrow that one

I've noticed this morning that the interior light isn't working either, so will have a look at the fuses again, thanks for that :) Are there any fuses any where other than the main box that I should be looking at?

Oh no, just called local dealer and they can't fit it in until next Tuesday :(

I was thinking it may mean a trip to a dealer :( Bloody horrible driving with no music, I keep thinking the car's making funny noises lol

Yep, replaced the 10A one in the stereo with a new 10A one, although there didn't seem to be any break in the old one anyway, and the one in the fuse box was a 15 I believe - I replaced it with one the same anyway.

lol Sony + Renault being the ultimate problem I think :D

Yeah trip computer is working OK, no problems there, as far as I can tell it is literally just the stereo and the dash clock display that are dead. Can't find any loose wires in any of the car's stereo connectors tho.
