Loads of Clios on Edmund Rd.
Silver - Mk1 172, parked on the corner at the Chesterfield end of the road, very nice.
Red Colour Coded MK1 PH3 RT, parked near Supa Snax. Again Very Nice.
MK1 Black RSI parked outside the factory near town. Very nice, always very clean.
A "Modded" blue MK1...
About 10:30 this morning.
Going into town, just about to go over Bobbers Mill bridge where the traffic lights are and the Wheatsheaf pub.
I was in the pub getting my car washed.
I want to get a new Head Unit, got a Sony Mini Disc one at the minute, but been as Ive got an MP3 Player, might as well get one in the car as well.
I Just want one of the ones that plays MP3 CDs, not a hard drive one. Unless there are hard drive ones going cheap?
Any advice welcome, I have...
Just got my inusrance renewal through from HIC, £446 TPFT. Down from £700. Still pretty harsh on a 1.2, but considering 5 points and a claim, 2 Years NCB.
Recomended to members.
Discount as well.
Is it easy to replace them?
The lights have stopped working and one of the knobs will only turn to 3 of the settings, (it wont do just demister) as with the window problem, it just started.
Very bloody annoying.
Cheers Again.
Both My windows have started acting up.
The passeneger side only goes down halfway, and the drivers down 3/4 of the way, just started all of a sudden, went wind the windows down, and they wouldnt do it.
MK1 PH3, 3 Door with Manual Windows.
Any Help would be good.
Cheers.
Is there a long wait on the 182??
A mate of a mate had just ordered one, and has to wait till March to get it, seems a long time to me.
I think he has been spun a lot of bull from the Reanult "sales" team, in terms of how the cars are produced / why there is a wait.
Some tw*t has just reversed into my car and driven off, while I was in bed.
The girl accross the road got a bit of the plate, and just been to the Police Station to report it as a non-stop RTC.
The best thing is, spent £400 yesterday on Service, MOT and Tax, which completely skint me, now...
Is there any way of mounting the tweeters??
I have tried velcro, and glue (glue gun), and becaus they are farily heavy, they keep falling of after a few hours / days.
I dont really want to drill any holes or anything, just a way that when I want to take them out, they wont leave holes or...
As above, Im looking for a goodplace in the midlands, prefferably Nottingham, Derby or Sheffield.
Just after a place that isnt after ripping people off, and not into "max-power" sound systems.
Any website links, or addresses would be great.
Cheers in Advance.
Had to take my car (97 1.2 Clio) into Renault today and have been given a courtesy car (new shape 1.2 16V clio), and I think I prefer mine.
I thought I would prefer the newer one, but I dont, well other than the engine being a little nippier.
The driving position seems to "girly", all high...
Does any one elses alarm go off a lot more in sunny weather.
When i park mine outside the house on a nice sunny day passing cars always set it off, on a rainy / dull day it seems fine.
Its a concept 300 btw.
Would a PH1 Valver interior fit into a PH3 1.2?
The PH2s had height adjustment and the PH1s didnt and mine doesnt, so does that mean they are compatible?
You can get leather for cheap (ish) and might look good if i have the spare cash.
Do these actually do anything?
Saw some of them today while i was in Costco. I cant remember what any of them are called, but you must know what i mean?
I have heard people say that they are good, mechanics say that you should never use them etc etc.
I wouldnt bother on a 1.2, but if you...
1. I think i have components in the front, but they didnt come with a cross over, does this mean that they arent components?
2. What are distrobution Blocks?
Im getting a constan loud high pitched whirring (sp?) noise at anything above about 40mph.
Am i right in thinking i need break shoes?
Or is there gonna be another clio "quirk" that means this costs £500?
I am gonna have to put spacers on my front wheels, when the alloys go back on because there is a little bit of rubbing on full lock. so 2 questions.
Theyre 3mm spacers, will the standard bolts (12mm i think) be ok? or do i have to buy longer bolts?
Do i need to put some on the back wheels...
I have tried it with a spanner and pliars, but it just dont wanna move, i assume it is just one of those screw in ones, but it is the stanard Renault one.
Any ways i can get it off, prefferabley as easy as poss.
Thanks.
I wanna get rid of my 6*9s, and replace with a sub, and cross overs for the front components (already got them), partly for security, dont wanna have speakers on display, and every one on here says that going without 6*9s sounds better.
I still want some boot space, and listen to pretty much...
Just to say thanks to Nick at Hill Power for sorting my cam-bet and tensioners out this morning.
£75 cheaper than Renault, and done by someone who actually knows something about them. Cliosport discount as well .
Cheers Nick, and i recomend anyone else to use him.
For 60K service and Cambelt Change.
Is that right??? Seems bloody expesnive to me, thats Renault Ilkeston / Renault SHeffield, btw.
Might just get the cambelt done and carry on servicing the car myself and saving the recipts for who ever i sell the car to, hopefully theyll be able to see...
So what do I need to do?
Can I just buy springs, or do I have to go for a full kit?
What the deal with lowering the rear as well, a lot of kits only seem to sell lowering springs for the front?
Sorry if this is really dense, but I haven’t got much of a clue with lowering.
There are these...
Right, if anyone can help I would be grateful.
I’ve got (I think) a mk1 PH3 Clio (97 R) 1.2.
I want to do a couple of things to the car, but to be honest, haven’t got much of a clue.
I’ve ordered some alloys, and want to lower it and stick an exhaust on it, just after a rough idea on...
