    RT/RSI/16v dials the same

    Valvers have a central set of guages that display oil level, oil temp and oil pressure. Directly in front of the driver is speedo to the left, rev counter to the right. Middle bottom right is water temp and left is petrol guage. top centre is a digital temp reading

    RT/RSI/16v dials the same

    ph1 - orange ph2 - white As far as i know the rev counter in an RT goes to 7k and in the valver its 8k cant comment on any of the other markings. Would imagine the speedo top end would be different.

    What inspired you to buy a Clio

    got my first clio bought for me by my dad after passing my test, got it due to price and low insurance - it was a 1.2 got my second clio because i was flicking through autotrader and the valver caught my eye, went to see it and it was love at first sight.

    Spilt milk!

    sorry yeah i tried the fabreeze stuff just forgot to mention it looks like ill have to get the fairy liquid out and scrub the boot. Think the car has absorbed the smell though. Valet might be the only wayt o get rid of it :(

    Spilt milk!

    think this should be in interior as it happened inside the car but feel free to move it. had a milk container split in the boot. Luckily i keep old floor mats in there in case of spillages so most of the milk was absorbed by those. Thrown those away, taken the carpet out to be washed but the...

    dont think anywhere but the dealer can do it. not sure on cost but spare keys are never cheap. My dad was quoted £70 from a vauxhall dealer for a spare key to his Omega. Ive only got one key with mine, its never bothered me I just make sure that if my keys are in the ignition and im out of...

    I wanna go faster!

    fair enough. Just because its not brand spanking new doesnt mean you need worry about it starting. If you look after a car you wont have many problems.

    How do you drive yours...

    i drive with my seatbelt on, i dont think it matters it only keeps me in the seat when im messing around.

    How do you drive yours...

    if you follow that train of thought youd question whether to have ABS turned on or off if there was an option. In case of an accident anything that can help you stay on the road without hitting anything else is a bonus surely?

    Clio Rant..

    most mk1s seem to. water either gets in through the aerial, sun roof surround or sunroof rubbers. With the aerial and surround, silicone works. If its the rubbers just give them a good clean and the glass a good clean. It also helps to close the sunroof when it rains.

    Number Plates

    Probing for advice...

    just a thought but have you considered buying a cheap run around for your first few months/year of driving after you pass. Youll still be learning to drive even after you pass your test and accidents can and will happen. It would be far less gutting to bump a cheap car than a new/newish clio...
