If your brake fluids quite low , either you have a leak , your discs could be worn or your brake pads are getting low . I'd be inclined to think the latter . You can top it up but after checking your pads / discs i'd do a full bleed like legohead says .

Looks good mate . Glad to see you finally found some paint that matched . Did you end up doing it yourself or a body shop ?

Or the 5k kick ;) :quiet:

What bigiain means is , the leather/ alcantara are just seat covers .

White wheels look good when clean . If you went for white you'd be cleaning them every other day .

I used these guys to do a smart repair on a fag burn on my alcantara . Cost me £40 to repair the hole and recolur the leather on the bolster . The hole was invisble after it was repaired :) http://www.trimline-systems.com

Seems like an average price is around £30ish per panel , but less is you have a few panels . The guy i used took out 2 in the roof , 1 on the drivers door and 1 on the rear passenger quarter panel all for £60 .

Depends where the dent is . If you don't know what your doing , even with the right tool(s) you can end up making it worse or even crack the paint . Like i said once before in another thread . I took out a dent on a rear quarter panel with a decorators seam roller , but it was easy to access...

Welcome to CS . Hope you enjoy the car and the website . Like joshYdee says ,its arCtic blue , Illiad blue is the V6 ;)

Of course it affects it . Any deviation from the standard wheel / tyre size will give an inaccurate speedometer reading . Check this out : http://www.alloywheels.com/tyrecalc.asp

Eh ? What ?? :S I just stated mines no faster using ethernet than it was using the usb cable .

Thats what i was led to believe also . When i had my 172 i went to the local ATS and they told me they had to get it from Renault . That was about 3 years ago though . Maybe there are some manufacturers of replacement 172 exhausts now ?

Try using some clay . http://www.chemicalguysuk.com/product_p/clay.htm

It'll cost you alot less to get them refurbed . http://www.lap-tab.co.uk/

I had to do exactly the same lol , cut the bugger off . I'd just go for a full stainless catback . I had a stealth from powerflow in Burnley . Top blokes and only £270 fabricated and fitted , plus lifetime warranty . Sounded good as well :)

The civic aerials aren't a perfect fit . The base of the aerial is slightly wider than the fitting on the roof , so it slightly overhangs .

Its a french thing apparently . Its a gap in the reflective coating for automatic toll boths .

^^^ According to the haynes manual , its 3.4 litres for a 1.4 16v .

33 front 30 rears . But as said , new tyres take a few miles to scrub in .

^^^ Thats what i did . £36 off ebay for a wheel that needed refurbing .

Just wet sand it again with some fine wet n dry , some 1000 grit will be ok . You won't need to remove the lacquer , just reapply the colour coat again . Good long even strokes and the colour coat should go on ok . Don't apply lacquer until your happy with the colour coat .

Theres a guide here : http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?t=136347

Same as Alan for me . Halfords 2 tonne trolley jack and axle stands . No problems lifting the car .

Edited after seeing your pic .Haven;t got a clue , lol .

I've used these in the past to recolour the leather bolster on my seat and repair a fag burn . http://www.trimline-systems.com/

Looking at that i assume it means how high the car is from the ground that is to be lifted before the jack is placed underneath . Sounds a bit strange i know but thats how it reads . A 2 tonne jack will be more than adequate for a clio . Lifting gear that is rated to 2 tonnes is usually...

2 nice lookin motors there mate . Welcome to cliosport :)

All i can say is if people are averaging 35ish mpg they are driving like old farts or lots of motorway driving . If i set my cruise control on the motorway to 80mph and reset the comp i see around 36mpg . Like i said before ,both my 172 and 182 only ever averaged 28mpg combined . I must...

I regularly see 24mpg in my 182 when mainly town driving . Average around 28mpg when i combine it with motorway driving . Also averaged this in my 172 .

You'll get both a usb and ethernet lead with your modem . Ethernets "supposed " be slightly better but it makes no difference whether i use the usb lead or ethernet lead with mine on virgin .
