i got to work today n looked under the bonnet just to make sure the new kit it was still there (after nearly loosin it on the first drive) but to my horror i have now found a s**t load of oil over the radiator bottle and the back/lower front of the engine....what the hell has just happened? did...
well thats ok but......i got to work today n looked under the bonnet just to make sure it was still there afte rnearly loosign it last time but to my horror.....i have now found a s**t load of oil over the rad bottle and the back of the engine and around a bit of the bottom of the front....what...
I accidently did that yesterday.....i didn't tighten the filter up enough and it came off while driving and i didnt notice much of a change at all.....sounded as you said....rather beasty.....ill try do a lil video of the sound in a min when i head off to work...
i got a 1.4 rt.....ive got 8.4 seconds to 60 out of it(as standard) i used to have a 1.4 mk 1 106 and that was quicker to 60 than the clio(cause i raced my mates 1.4 rt with it....but soon as i got to 60 the clio went faster......the 106 struggled after 70 mph and the clio carrys on going up to...
i could be having a blonde moment here but im not sure....ive just fitted a K & N induction kit to my 1.4 clio....and as i've never had one on a car before im not sure how they sound except i knwo they give a bit of roar from the engine....this on mine is quite loud in comparison to the engine...
i bought mine for £1100 with 54,000 on the clock was perfect condition apart from lil dent in bonet.... and its the exact same model....(this was b4 the new clio came out thou) and i got it july last year....but then i dont know if there price has dropped since the new clio came out.
well that deppends who u goto.....the higher the price the better the result....i got my car off a vallet so he gave the car a freebe before he sold it to me. as for prices....im not entierly sure but at a guess....£30-100(i never used one before so i couldnt tell u) i do know that being a car...
easyest thing to do if you cant be bothered or dont have the time, is to take it to a vallet n get the engine cleaned up by them....it costs a lil but its well worth it.....
derbyshire=highish crime rate
£25 car=stolen car + fake documents?
maybe im just paranoid but have you checked with the
DVLA yet to see if it's come up as stolen?
correct me if im wrong but.....i am 99.9% sure that ripspeed was a seperate company that joined with halfords about 5 years ago to promote themselves a bit better... althou i have to say some of there alloys are quite naff...
now to me....£300 sounds more like the price you sould be quoted for getting ur plastics painted.... and with that sorta millage on this car.....i recon if u make a good job of it you could make a nice profit from it in the future.
this could be the most stupidest question i'll ever ask but......you never know things untill you ask....
will this bonnet
fit straight onto this car (5 door version)
because as you can see it has a nice brick dent in the front (of which the previous owner had no idea where it come from...
if...
that's an amazing car. have to say i love it. i personaly think a nice pair of 16" gold alloys would look brilliant on it. and as for the black angel eyes.....i'd say yes to that anyday. i saw some on an e-bay shop for £130(yes i know e-bay is a bad word but the company seems quite reputable as...
it cost my friend £600 to have his bodykit fitted and painted for his mondeo. so if they gonna charge you somethin like that for a car that small i would expect something special. there was a website i got a quote for my clio to have a full respray n they said it would cost £700(just for a...
i love it....i agree with other ppl thou.....exhaust needs hortening or replacnig with one that doesn't stick out as much. also colour coding would be a good idea(i know how easy it is to put that sorta job off) but does make all the differance.(althou i have to say i love red and black together.
well the cars been looked after quite well and cleaned underneath a few times in its life.... so im hoping it wont be too bad rust wise. thing is im on a bit of a budget so can only afford half the job till next pay day, so im taking the car off the road till i can do both parts(will look a bit...
