woohoo i spotted someone here! you live in these parts or what?

K* VPN arctic blue 182, just off Dowanside Road (i think) in glasgow west end. lovely looking motor mate!

It fine now, most of it went onto the ground. gave it a wee clean inside and that sorted it. fuel line is securely attached to the injector rail now. i do consider myself very lucky it didnt catch on fire.

about 1 mpg! the petrol literally flooded out the hose all over everything, even on the underside of the bonnet. after 5 mins at 60mph i used half a tank!

about 1 mpg!! it just clips in, dont know why it came loose :S

Was driving home from Stirling this afternoon, after being in Glasgow too, and noticed that I could actually notice the fuel gauge slowly dropping from half a tank to nearly empty in around 5 mlies(ish), so I stopped in Gargunnock getting a bit worried. Fuel leak thought I, got out opened the...

wont bottom out as it aint affecting your suspension. might need your arches rolled though if you want to lower it. i found that wheelbasedirect arent the cheapest atm, halfords have a sale on atm and you can get 16s with tyres cheaper there, and they wont require postage! i've beena sking...

drove past you on a roundabout in kings park at about half 4 ish maybe, was in my monaco blue 1.2 with two bikes in the back.

My electronics warning light came on today, yet the car runs fine. Does anyone know what may be up with it? Last time it was faulty spark plugs, also heard somewhere it may be throttle body which I have had problems with in the past? I have an autocare warranty on my car so hopefully its...

How does it reduce performance? I vaguely remember someone telling me that bigger tailpipes suck air in??

Theoretically you should get better acceloration with smaller wheels, and they'll be lighter. 16" turinis weigh 8.4Kg (not sure if thats with or without tyre) per wheel and 15s turinis weigh 7.5Kg in direct comparison.

stunning car mate, nice one

all you young folk must have super rich parents or sumit cos i'm 20, been workin for 3 years and can barely afford to own a 1.2!!!

exhaust system? body work mods..... vented carbon bonnet?

Typical female drivers!! I had a female driver pull out infront of me on a roundabout recently without even looking, just carried on her merry way without even glancing at me. Hope you get it sorted!! Steven

Hmmm I keep having my mate saying he'll punch me if I just buy springs :s

theres a black clio at college owened by a lassie and shes got pink seat covers, pink steering wheel cover and pink fluffy dice hanging from the interior mirror.. also has silver playboy decals behind the rear passenger windows. How about something like that? paint the brake calipers pink?

how big is the tank in a 1.2 16v (mk2 ph1)? i get in the region of 400 miles out of a tank but never done a calc to work out mpg. Steven

Ally, does it cope well with your bike(s) (I know you have a heavy bugger of an Orange, dont you?) and other heavy loads like that ok yeah? Steven

Ultimate I think. 35 or 60mm drop i believe. I'm alkso thinking of lowering my Mk2 Ph1. Is it not sucha good idea to go for just springs as with all this cant take heavy loads problem due to the dampers neing compressed permanantly?? I just cant quite afford dampers too. Steven

Is that not the sort of thing you can fit yourself, Gary? I was kinda hoping that i might be able to as my dad used to be a mechanic and could prob help out, its mostly just getting itsprayed that i'm after. Steven

Tried a renault dealer?

Thinking of purchasing the Utopia body kit from K-tec for my Mk2 Ph1 clio, K-tec do not spray body work as they do not have the facilities so does anyone know anywhaere in central Scotland... ideally Stirling or Glasgow? Edinburgh is a bit far and I dont want to post it as it increases cost...

If you want to modify your car, then dont go to liverpool victoria as they dont insure modified cars... although they are the chepaest i could find when insureing my 1.2, have you tried afrian flux?? i got a good eal with them. Steven

As its only a Mk1 and prob not worth a great lot of money, have you tried TPF&T?? My first car was a 1994 1.3 8v fiesta, only worth a £400 but my excess was £500... even if you did right it off it would be cheaper just to buy a new car than pay the excess. Wish I had thought of this at the...

what a bargain

is it not herse? As wozzaa says about the 25, when i was looking for a car i test drove a 25 1.4 16v (105bhp??) and found it to be rather slow compared to my 1.2 16v clio (75bhp). i got a ripping at work gor getting a clio, but most of them are middle aged men who cant tell when theyre...

See the street across the road in the third pic?? i walk down there for my lunch every day!!

HT53 *** blue 172 or 182 maybe (went past so quicly i couldnt tell) just outside the entrance to the Bearsden Asda carpark at 5:45pm. i was sitting in the que and saw you speed by.
