Sounds like you need a new alternator then.
You need to untension the aux belt, remove the old one, new one in, retension belt. Easier said than done ime, I'd get a garage to do it, I'd replace the belt too, maybe even the whole aux kit if it hasn't been done before.
Cheers :)
Nothing big, got a sabelt wheel to go on, some ultraleggera's should be on their way to me too sometime next week.
To buy are some cooksport springs, trophy recaros and maybe some xenons.
If you get a sony stereo (which is remote and cd changer compatible) then this little adapter allows you to keep steering controls and the display too. It's also a lot easier to fit as it utilises the current cabling...
I don't know yet as they aren't with me, I'll have them Thursday hopefully.
I believe OZ changed from 68.1 to 75 at some point so either of them, I'll only know when the wheels arrive and I can measure them.
Ok this is going to sound really pikey but here goes.
Can a spigot ring be widened with a lathe? Or are they not suitable as from the pictures I've seen they aren't a flat inner edge.
The only reason I ask is I have bought some wheels, which come with proper OZ spigot rings which have an...
From memory, fitment for the rears is:
White plastic washer
Dust cover - the only bit you reuse IIRC
Small thick metal washer
Large metal washer (the flatter one)
Circular based rubber (flat face up)
Then push it up to the car
Then fit the other, more cone shaped rubber flat face...
Cheers for the comments :)
It is (not that anyone will believe that :()
They were fitted and smoothed into the bumper, then sprayed with the bumper. Proper job, they look standard.
Never noticed, just had a gander st Chris' as he has the same exhaust and his does stick out. Not...
They are what I bought for mine, i found them pretty hard to fit until we just jacked them up to the car to get the top nut on. I think this was due to the new firm bushes they come with.
If you search on Clio trophy it tells you the order to put the bushes/washes on.
True. I do like the sporty VAG wheels.
Got a little present from Brian and fitted it today :)

Also gave the car a good clean, pictures in this thread - http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?692162-Clean-Bean
First time I've cleaned a car for 6 months :quiet:
Had this a couple of weeks now for anyone that doesn't know, absolutely loving it too but the salt had got to it so it needed a clean :)
Just driveway pics as I didn't have time to pop out in it.

I agree with above, speak directly to RUK.
My mums Toyota went in with a dead clutch at just short of 3 years old (25k miles) and they replaced it no questions asked, didn't even suggest it was the drivers fault. Free courtesy car too.
Re: ArcticClio182...progress..
They look wider because the offset is different.
Looks bloody brilliant though, silver is definitely the right colour!
Out of interest, how much did they charge to swap the tyres over?
No, it's just a bit annoying that it sort of twists in your hands. I guess its just a plastic cover and only one side is actually attached to a more traditional metal handbrake which is why it twists.
Collected this today, apparently the last one left in the country.
Was going to wait for a used one, but they are a decent price new from my local Renault dealer anyway (a couple £ more than wests but I didn't need to pay for post so worked out slightly cheaper). When it gets tatty looking...
Common thing, my mum got a cambelt reminder for her chain driven Polo once.
They do them in runs every few years, you can't expect them to send a reminder every time a car changes owner, that's an admin nightmare. Although it should probably be more often than once every 5 years. I wouldn't...
