    FFS.... spotted it on eBay with 20 seconds to go, a quick read of the description and a bid in with a few secs to go and it was mine for £3k, was that a good price? I'm sure the next few days/weeks/months will clarify that!! eBay ad pics... Picked it up on Sunday, my 3 concerns were the 3x...

    1.6 16v starter motor issue?

    Mate, all your electrical systems shut down as they do when their is a power issue The starter clicks, as they do when there is a power issue. You had to bump start it as you do when you have a power issue. What is the voltage when it's running? It should be 14v. If it's not, check the...

    1.6 16v starter motor issue?

    It's 100% power related as that's the systems just shutting down 1 by 1. When you say the alternator was brand new where did you get it? Was it branded or a cheapo?

    Alternator has failed and the battery has gone flat would be my guess.

    problems with different type of front strut fixing on Mk3 RS Sport 2010

    undo top mount, undo lower damper bolt, undo drop link, knock hub down to release shock, remove shock. get some penetrating fluid and soak it the night before if your worried about releasing the shock from the hub but I've never had any issues with them tbh

    MK2 PH1 1.2 8v Clio Grande - Tidy up project

    Saturday was time to fit the wheels. They got the tyres removed, a decent scrub then the new tyres fitted with some fresh valves. It pissed with rain soon after doing the trim dressing on Friday night so it needs re done, but other than that I'm mega pleased with the results! I've still to do...

    MK2 PH1 1.2 8v Clio Grande - Tidy up project

    Guy was buying a Hyundai i30 at work that we had up for sale. He wondered if we would give him anything for his Clio to save him the hassle of scrapping it.... we gave him £350 off the Hyundai for it, after a brief look round it I gave my boss £300 and it was mine! Someone came in looking for a...

    The Cars Spotted Appreciation Thread

    The throttle response is like nothing I've ever driven, it is genuinely hard to drive for the first few minutes to you recalibrate your right foot!

    Clio 2 1.2 clutch

    regularly do around 150k on the clutches on our cars so that would be over 250,000 km, of course it all comes down to driving style but they do last a while

    CLUTCH QUESTION 1.2

    Normal, they have a very high bite point which is usually confused as a clutch on the way out. The cable is auto adjusted at the pedal so no adjustment, if its getting stiff it could be worth putting a clutch cable on it. I've had them get creaky
