As above... they replied to my suspension fitting query but haven't got a responce yet about the exhaust, anyone know?

Didn't know which section to post in as I'm asking about two things, hope that's okay... So I'm about to apply my first proper mod to my Clio, I'm deciding between an induction kit and lowering. If I were to go for the induction kit, what's the best, most powerful one to get? Read a few...

Only bought my car in August, where it passed the MOT thanks to the garage... but I reckon they did me over, because a month later I put it through an MOT test at work and it failed on emissions (badly!) Is there a common part that goes to make the idle test fail? Was about 3-4 times over the...

Was driving to the girlfriends last night and it felt a bit extra lumpy in first gear, ignored it and it went away... Anyway drove home from hers later and coming down her road it felt so bad like the car wasn't even turned on properly :dapprove: changed into second and it was even worse, just...

Noticed my belt is rubbing on the top bit of the seat every time I'm driving... looks a bit rubbish. The alcantera has gone kinda shiny and looks worn :mad: anyone else get this and is there anything to do about it?

Last night after dropping the girlfriend home I decided to hammer it down one road (despite my thread in clio discussion :rasp:) Had a wtf moment, as I saw my rear window completely covered, it struck me it was exhaust fumes. Still had a lot of road left so hammered it through 3rd gear as...

Had it come on a few times, then next time I turned the car on it would be gone... hadn't been on for ages so just forgot about it. However, it's been on solid for about three days now. Ran Clip on it and it came up with no faults? In fact, before I had an error showing up regarding ABS, but...

Is it just me, or do you never get to put your foot down these days? Obviously the 1*2's really come alive at the magical 5k... I can only remember getting to 5k once this month :quiet: (in 2nd) it just seems kinda pointless having a car with any speed! I think having a sporty car is just for...

Do the Clios need one? Looking on k-tec's website, they offer services @ 12k, 24k, 36k & 72k... just wondering if this is the norm? And if not why have k-tec missed it off? http://www.k-tecracing.com/services.asp

As mentioned in another thread, my coolant tank is running on literally the bare minimum! Is it just water that goes in there or is it mixed with anything? Also, it appears there's no fluids in my power steering bottle what-so-ever :eek: what do I need to put in there? Thanks [/n00b]

Now, firstly I need to ask you a question. I've noticed more and more that my car is really raspy when accelerating hard between about 2k-3k, now I love it! Think it sounds wicked, was actually boasting about it to my bro :clown: But... as time goes on, I think it might not actually meant to...

Well sorta. What I mean is sometimes when I press the button on the key sometimes you just hear the click and the doors are locked, but probably about 30% of the time it will give three high pitch beeps as it locks, any reason why? I told a mate that used to own a 182 Cup and he said he had...

Okay, umm... What does it actually change when pressing that button? :rasp: Seems to make no difference lol? With my 206 it was just automatically on air con as soon as you turn it on.

Hi looking for just a tiny mod! For some reason, when I bought my car there was no cigarette lighter in it... :rolleyes: Anyway, on a trip to Halfrauds, I thought I'd have a look for an aftermarket replacement. Unfortunately all they had were chrome ones, or ones with leather on (!!) or...

Just wondering did all 1*2's come with an engine cover? Mine doesn't and I wonder if it's been taken off at some point? I've seen a few engine bays without them, did some come like that or do people just prefer it and take em off?

Just wondering if this is normal, I think it is... When you put your foot right down, well, there's like an extra little bit that you can push further with some force? Like about a centimetre or so? Whats the point? lol

Hi lol, my drivers wing mirror constantly whistles in the wind, my god, its annoying :S Anyone else had this? If I bend it slightly whilst driving its alright lol but that's hardly ideal. I was thinking of sealing the gaps with superglue or something!? Done that on my 206 cause that whistled...

Okay desperate to get my system set up now! Can't take anymore standard stereo :rasp: How do I get through to the engine bay on a Clio? Please tell me it's easier than drilling a hole through the glovebox like on a 206! Are the panels easy to open to hide wries etc? I have torx screws if...

Just wondering do you think about mods you do? I really wanna do a few bits to mine, such as different wheels, lower it, exhaust and air filter. But I'm not sure cause I got so screwed for the mods when I part ex'd my old car. I know I can keep the parts and change em back but seems like a...

Damn... three days after ownership :mad: damn the French, I never learn lol. Right so basically, came outta girlfriends, turned key... "tick tick" nothing. Obviously tried loads of times. Thought must be the battery, gfs dad drove round with jump leads, left it running a while "tick tick"...

Just noticed this morning that gear changes are a bit jerky. It's only a short trip to work, but changing to second was the biggest jerk/jolt and into third a bit as well. Is this normal for driving around cold? I know my 206 was like this a bit as well but it was a common known problem...

Noticed recently that my phone's 3G image keeps changing to 3G+, what is this? Not that I ever use it lol

Right after deciding the standard radio is crap lol, I think it's time to get my ICE put in. Anything I should know? Is the standard unit easy to get out, how do I do it? Do I need to do any drilling to get through to the engine bay? Had to on 206 through the glovebox (though personally I...

Okay so got my insurance documents through yesterday morning, got my TAX shortly after... had a little play, but in the evening I asked to be driver for the night :star: Right so overall I must say the ride is the b****cks, loads of grip, great handling! Gives me so much more confidence that...

When I took the 182 on a test drive it ran outta petrol lol, then i killed the battery, knightmare lol. Anyway when we got it back running, as I drove it back to the garage, the EML came on. He said it'll be something due to what just happened to the car... and he'd get it sorted. Picked up...

But I hate the rears lol. Has anyone ever retrimmed the rears to match? I reckon it would look pretty good. I take it the standard leather/alcantera seats wouldn't really look right?

Can I not start a new poll? Obviously this is for people that bought their Clio second hand! My 182's silver. Personally, I would of gone for liquid yellow! I do kinda think that black and silver would of been my last choices if i bought it brand new, as I'd want it to stand out! My mate...

Just wondering is there a pdf anywhere with a list of all the options available when you could order a brand new one? If not I might try and get hold of one of the original sales booklets! Is there anywhere to get them apart from ebay, I've been burnt so many times on there, I promised myself...

There's a few niggles with my new car, one of which is the gaitor seems to have completely come away, revealing sticky-out bits of plastic all round. I dunno if I can get it back into place!? But if not, I'll probably just change it for a Momo one with a chrome surround or something. I was...

Hi I joined up here a while ago, asking about 1*2's... and today, finally, I got one ;) Got a lovely 182 with the cup pack(s?) (<-- are there two different packs!?) and got the Recaro's too which are lovely! Shame about the s**tty rear seats though. Overall well happy with the purchase, 05...
