    Mobile Phone Contract Thread.

    I negotiated a SIM only deal when 4g with unlimited data was a fairly new thing so they were ££££ after ages in the phone I had a plan which was about £60 but they had put through discounts, so my bill looked like Plan £60 Upgrade discount -5 Upgrade discount -£7.50 Loyalty discount -£10 Loyalty...

    Oops I did it again... Adey's Clio 200 EDC

    Yeah I agree, I've got a decent set of pads on my 197 and they are very good, but I've had similar performance from single piston calipers. Very light if your a good enough driver to make the most of less unsprung weight but I'm not lol

    Oops I did it again... Adey's Clio 200 EDC

    I found the brakes on mine were better than the 197/200 Brembos on the car it replaced, not sure on the size difference between them but they looked huge!

    Retrofit Cruise Control in Clio MK3 - Anyone has done it?

    If it's the same as the process on a MK2 then you will need the dashboard switch, the steering squib, wheel/airbag with buttons, clutch and brake pedal switches then may or may not need to configure it in Clip depending on how the car is setup (on the MK2 RS cars don't need config but non RS...

    Windscreen Seals

    mine fitted in nicely but if its had a new windscreen in its life its possibly off slightly, you could probably use a dab of silicon to hold it in

    Timing belt or valve gaps?

    £50 and a crate of stella is a good deal! its a nice easy job on that engine right enough, first timing belt i done was a D4F and its a good one to start with! few months later i moved onto the F4R!

    Timing belt or valve gaps?

    The ticking sounds normal, but the odd uneven noise sounds like a bearing on the rotation side, id put my cash on the water pump, for all it costs id get the timing belt and water pump changed and make sure they change the aux tensioner/roller too.

    MK2 PH1 1.2 8v Clio Grande - Tidy up project

    not done much with this yet, but realised that CSF is approaching fast and this is probably the car closest to being fixed so need to get a move on to take it!! Had a small leak from the thermostat housing that i couldn't see for the airbox so finally found it, replaced it and awaiting more...

    Have I broken my car? Changing steering wheel, now car lacks power, in all gears

    given the hassle you had with the relatively straight forward job id get it to a specialist to fit the new squib, how did you manage to get the steering wheel off centre? its a keyed spline?!

    Coilovers for a clio MK2 phase 1 1.2l 8v with a 52mm strut bolt spacing???

    lower arms, subframe etc are all the same, as is the anti roll bar, track rods and track rod ends. All you need is hubs, calipers and carriers, discs, pads, and shocks. probably £100 to do it at a guess?! mine was a bit different as i bought a doner car as i was changing more than just the...

    Coilovers for a clio MK2 phase 1 1.2l 8v with a 52mm strut bolt spacing???

    an afternoon after a trip to the scrappy is your best solution, i done it on my Grande, move over to ph2 hubs and brakes, means you also go from solid front discs to 260mm vented!

    172 Cup interior

    Correct, Roof liner is the same as a non sunroof, base spec (authentique/campus/van) - The cheapo looking one lol interior is specific to cup, you have a few options non RS wise that are closer but not the same: extreme 4/campus sport - same design seat and patern but different colour...

    Another one! (But it’s a 197 this time)

    Will be the boot button that's faulty, very common (a trend going on here with common faults :ROFLMAO: )

    Another one! (But it’s a 197 this time)

    My rad fan is on its way out too, sounds like it's about to shear off and exit thru the bonnet. My AC compressor got quiet after a regas for a few days then back to noisy again, they get noisy when they are low on gas

    Another one! (But it’s a 197 this time)

    Yeah that's the normal location for the needle to sit. Mine has a noisy AC compressor too. AC worked lovely after a regas but it's died and I've got the dye over the bottom of the compressor so I assume it's leaking/dead

    Phase 1 fuel tank, same as any clio?

    identical, ph1, ph2, petrol, diesel, all the same. external filter just runs in the fuel line run so no issues

    The OE ones are made by Beru and available from Autodoc for about £20 each, loads of us running them on here and they are spot on 😎
