Be interesting if they do a RS/Alpine version. Petrol, manual with some subtle changes 🤞
I think some angles look good, quite like the rear but I did think a bit generic. Said they have two new colours one being a green. Assume maybe close to the 5.
One thing I do like is the spec levels. Does...
If not that thinking either a air leak or crap in the fuel tank. Just odd it works absolutely fine sometimes which wouldn't maybe make sense with the two above.
The little phase 1 passed it's MOT on Friday one advisory being a anti roll bar bush. Genuinely hate getting advisories.
Anyway the car is still giving me issues the issues comes and go. Can do 100+ miles with no issue also no real connection car could be hot, cold full tank or low.
Issue is...
Here is hoping that's maybe solved it. I didn't have a wet vac 😅 otherwise I'd have bought the tool for the fuel tank. Maybe next step. I may hack the old filter up and see if it shows much.
Nothing too exciting to report. It's in for an MOT next week. While we were away in the V6 my brothers partner drove it down from Fife to Newcastle. Good effort as I find it painfully slow. Scary slow in fact 😅 making me miss the Saab - also the space.
I had similar issues again with staring...
I usually try and keep my Clio stories updated on CS. Tend to lurk in the background these days but felt worthy of a post.
I've had my Clio V6 now for over 15 years. Mental. I still can't believe I own one!
We got married last year and we postponed a honeymoon but we discussed combining two...
I think my issue may have been fuel. Just a guess it's probably always keep over half a tank. I ran it low then these issues started appearing. I filled it up with a full tank of v power then a good run up and down the motorway and all seems well at the moment.
Do these have a fuel filter or...
On Sunday I attended the BVAC event at Thirlestane Castle in the Scottish Borders. Always a good one but sadly didn't get much time to have a walk about. Personally I prefer maybe two walk arounds, coffee and roll in between then head away.
This year I signed up with the Sporting Bears. I...
I was kindly invited along to the Bo'ness car show where Renomotive had a stand. Weather wasn't ideal but loved being up close again to cars I genuinely love i.e. Mk2 Clio's! Some photos -
Not having much luck here. All back together but now revs are staying high once the throttle is blipped it's starts revving up and down. What have I done!?
I've checked all the wiring to make sure it's all plugged in.
I think I must be in the minority but I like the old school look of the Ph1 rear lights.
Managed to get it off. Was being impatient. Guessing this doesn't look bad?
It has cut out on me a few times recently. Starts fine when under any pressure, slight hill it judders/struggles for power...
How on earth do I get the cylinder head cover removed, it moves as all bolts as far as I can see are out but it's just not coming away from the throttle body which is what I want to check.
Can anybody help get a radio code please?
I also got along to a local car meet called shite in the park. Didn't get many pictures as it started chucking it down.
I also had some spare Ph1 mats in the V6 so stuck them in. Just fronts unfortunately.
The Saab sold this morning. Was genuinely gutted I've loved it's space, power, comfort. It will be missed. I won't miss the road tax and fairly terrible fuel consumption. I'd say it's worse than the V6. Sadly didn't get as much as I'd hoped but think the car market in general is in a dip...
Really don't need another car but I've never owned a 197. For sale locally hoping to have a look. Any thoughts welcome?
