    Where to run hands-free microphone?

    I'd feed it over the top of the glovebox personally. It does mean taking the dash top off but it's so easy to do when it's off that you really would be daft not to. My mic is tucked into the top of the A pillar trim. The cable goes down the trim so there's no exposed wiring.

    [Nov 6, 2015] SW South monthly meet (Par)

    Unless more people RSVP I'm going to cancel for this month. It's a shame as the weather is really good this weekend.

    CLIO IV RS - Trophy from page 111

    That's very observant of you. And you talk about that like it's a good thing.

    Insurance excesses when you have an accident?

    If you claim for damage to your own vehicle (in this case limited to fire and theft), then you have to pay the excess/the excess will be taken off any payout. If someone claims off your insurance, you pay 0.

    Show me your woofer's

    I listen to everything from 70s-80s right up to the present day, including a lot of Daft Punk etc. Plenty of beat. If you crank it up to full belt, you're going to hit the limitations of the woofer. If you're not trying to make yourself deaf, you'll have plenty of bass to play with. Enough to...

    Show me your woofer's

    I've got an underseat sub, and would happily go for one again if I had to start over. Produces easily enough bass for moderate listening levels. Mine is an Alpine SWD-1600 which is quite old and looks like a Power Ranger's lunchbox, but hidden under the seat you never notice it (it's a good fit...

    I have a Clio diesel. I have questions.

    Well, it sounds like you know best so I'll just go back to working with diesels every day as a qualified maintainer and leave you to it.

    I have a Clio diesel. I have questions.

    It's not a myth. Filters have gotten better these days hence not as many people get crap pulled through their injectors, but it's still possible and not recommended. It's more about stuff floating on the surface than sitting at the bottom of the tank.

    The tow car

    I bloody bet you're not!

    The tow car

    'n****r rig' - FFS. I'd love a massive barge like that (for towing too), but I would have to lose the clio to have it, I fear.

    CLIO IV RS - Trophy from page 111

    Kumwho? Also LOL at 'half of CS want the 182 reincarnated or to go back in time 10 years'. Nope, everyone just thinks the Fiesta is better, and it is neither of those things.

    Help!! How to take speedo apart! Help!!!!

    The silver bit is part of the black surround you can see above the temp and fuel gauges. That is screwed on from the back, and clipped too.

    Rooby Clio 172

    Seems like it's a bit too wild!

    Anyone measured HP with torque pro ?

    It's not even that, you give it in gear acceleration with no gearchange. I got given a very low figure with RSTuner Performance Analyser (works in the same way), put it on the rollers and it was making healthy power.

    Help!! How to take speedo apart! Help!!!!

    Flip it over. Take the bolts out. Remove needles using the above fork method. It then unclips. The background is printed on, by the way.

    Mobius Action Camera - Cheap GoPro alternative/dashcam

    Well... I'd try and see if it's saveable. Re-seat the ribbon cable and hopefully that'll fix it. Worst case scenario is a new CMOS sensor. If it's brand new and you can't fix it I'd send it back/ask for a refund though.

    Mobius Action Camera - Cheap GoPro alternative/dashcam

    Can you post a screenshot? @Paul172sport I can't say on the 3m cable as I haven't used it, but it sounds like enough to me. I would look for some better quality velcro IMO, although the small suction mount is probably the most secure option, albeit the most conspicuous one.

    Mobius Action Camera - Cheap GoPro alternative/dashcam

    Wide angle will catch most. I don't hava a problem with the standard angle though.

    Recirculation Flap Help (doing it now)

    Recirc on - car gets colder, faster. Good in summer. Also good for not sucking fumes in, however you can get a smell with it. Recirc off - isn't as fast but better for demisting. Less of a smell. If you do a particularly evil fart, roll the windows up and stick the recirc on. Full heat. Your...

    Does having your Xenons blazin' help you win races?

    Dartmoor is 40mph too. I don't think I've ever done 40mph though.

    FINALLY! Clio 172 'HOU'

    Photo from a quick drive out today. Note the patented detach-o-splitter that just scrapes off of speedbumps without taking the bumper with it. About to change the oil and filter this week. Like a tit I forgot to get a new copper washer so I'll have to pick that up before I can do it. As you...

    battery light on.

    Yes, because the alternator isn't providing enough juice at low revs. When you rev, it speeds up and makes more power which is enough to trip the charging circuit on.

    Recirculation Flap Help (doing it now)

    I think I get you now. The square drive on the flap itself has rounded?

    Recirculation Flap Help (doing it now)

    Why are you trying to pull all the rest of it out? I'm guessing I'm missing something as I was under the impression that you've got a dead/damaged motor. In which case you disassemble to the point you've already got, whip the two bolts out and slide the motor right out. No need to remove the...
