The Mk2 Clio's chassis is a very good one so even the lesser models are fun to drive.
I owned a 1.2 RN before i got the Cup and it was pretty much spot on other than a lack of power but then its horses for courses.
At 20 it was the best car i could have owned without paying out a couple of grand...
Switch on the ignition then when you turn the key to start the car watch the fuel gauge needle.
If it drops then rises once the engine has fired it means the dash is losing power whilst the starter is turning, thus resetting the trips. Battery is dying. REPLACE!
Dan speaks sense. If you must drive quick in the wet then make it smooth and progressive imputs....don't saw away at the wheel and definitely don't have club feet.
Yeah i see the point on the weekends. Just not on the hack to work every morning. I barely find the room to anyway.
Plus it saves me having to re-fill every 5 days.
Driving in the wet without having pants changing moments is just a case of being sensible with your throttle pedal.
Jump on it mid corner and you'll know about it....jump off it mid corner and you'll know about it even more.
Of course, being a Cup owner you also have to reconsider jumping on...
Im gettin about 37 from mine at the moment.
I don't see the point driving like your pants are on fire when you barely get the room driving in rush hour traffic.
Thats part of the acoustic valve assembly. Basically a restrictive part of the induction system.
Alot of people do away with them...me being one of them.
I mean the battery is gettin to the end of its life. Will be over 4 years old now. Pretty much the average life of a battery.
Im not saying its gonna be the cure but i'd try a new battery as a matter of course.
Hmmmm...ok thats kinda thrown me a bit. Im thinking maybe the last 4 digits won't actually give us any kinda order at all!
There are 8 numbers in the full chassis number after all!
1. Ollie1982 - 1936 (last four digits of the Chassis number)
2. Dan172+ - 2537
3. gazmar1 - 4244
4. Rufstuf - 4819...
No idea where its located on a 1.6 buddy! Can't be too hard to miss though. Thing should be yellow topped for a start, and at the front or back of the block.
