Am i right in thinking with the airbag light on, that in a crash no airbags would deploy?

I swear i searched and searched and never saw your thread about the clip! Thanks! I will unclip that and reconnect it then have a look under the electrical tape tomorrow if the weather is good. Wouldn't surprise me if they have just been wrapped around each other. I had a quick glance under...

Bump, someone able to help? Don't really like driving with an airbag light on and want it sorting!

Was driving back from York to Huddersfield last monday and my airbag light and serv light decided to randomly turn on... I've looked under the passenger seat and I can't figure out how to disconnect the black plug to try and clean up the pins? There is no grey plug but there is electrical tape...

How do I unplug the clip underneath the seat? I couldn't figure it out.

Well it's been fine in the 100 or so miles i've done with the new cat with the old sensors. There were quite a few errors cleared before and the car had been fine. Will I have any problems with running with an engine management light on? I'm sure it's nothing that serious. I'm still getting good...

The bottom right one on the dash. Hit 75 today on the motorway and my service and airbag light also decided to come on. Like Blackpool illuminations now... I got back to uni okay tonight but did notice when I tried firing it up again later its revs jumped up and down and then it just died...

The car passed it's MOT this morning with no advisories. I went for a drive out shopping and on the way back the engine management light decided to come on... it recently had a new cat fitted as the old one literally split into two. The light had come on when the cat was broken on the flexi but...

Just replaced the front arms, track rod ends and arb bushes. The old bush on the nearside, which was fairly new looking by the lack of rust, just felt out on removal. My tracking is out which was expected, but there's also a quiet clunking/ knocking occasionally. Everything is all torqued up...

This was varying from 60-75. Maybe it isn't as bad as i'm thinking as I did stop for roundabouts etc.

What sort of mpg should i be getting on a 1.2 5door mk2 clio? I recently had the cat changed as it had split on the flexi, so it's gone up from then but i'm still only getting around 40-42 and that on motorway miles. Is this normal? Is there anyway to make this better? I've seen some that were...

:wink:

Just call me the IT guy.

turn your laptop off for 10 minutes, and your router off for 10 minutes. Then everything back on again.

Well they told me the parts have a 12 month warranty, so i'll get it up on ramps every few months or so to check they're okay! Annoyingly the TRE's that were on the car were greasable ones but the PO just hadn't kept on top of it so they'd split.

Didn't get a spare key with the clio when you bought it? I managed to contact my previous owner and she still had the key... result! Maybe worth trying?

Well they've been bought now, hopefully sorts out my wobble and gets me through the MOT on monday!

Bump? :)

You said simple advice and this is literally I wrote in the first replies...

😂 I know...

But a lot less than mcafee and malware bytes doesn't always scan you have to manually do it, it's not protection all the time unless you pay.

Not silly at all! post a picture of the list if you want? Or pm me it and i'll tell you what you can disable.

You can actually go to add/remove on CCleaner which is pretty useful as you're often able to remove multiple programs at once. Not always but with some programs! If you havn't already, right click on your battery charging icon and maybe it should say "power options" select this, then select...

If I were you i'd firstly download CCleaner and run the relevant things (follow this guide if you need to but it's fairly easy to do! http://obrienpc.net/recommended-programs-ccleaner/) As you're running W8, if you right click the taskbar at the bottom and open up your task manager then go to...

Depends on the sort of stuff you've actually got on the laptop? Are you running an anti virus software? If it's McAfee or Norton i'd personally remove it and put AVG on it as there's less bloatware to it which will slow you down. Download the program called "ccleaner" (it's free -...

As I recently had the clio up on ramps I noticed that the tre on the offside had a split gaitor, and the nearside had wobble on the suspension arm when held at 9-3. I have seen this -...

Okay great, thanks! I'll try find some from a scrappy :)

On my clio I noticed that thevery surrounding plastic around the rear seat release clips are in fact snapped on both sides. On a breaker clio I looked at it was the same, is this common? My clios a 5dr. Are these also replaceable or shall I just live with it? Thanks

Mine did this but that was due to my cat blowing i believe. There were a fair few error codes that we cleared and it hasnt happened since. Mine was slightly worse really and dipped to 800 on cold starts and back up again.

Using a standard headunit i believe this would work? Worth a punt at the price!
