Okay brill, I've just disconnected mine then and shoved it in the glovebox. Cheers

I just bought a sport grill and removed the bonnet sensor from the old one. Where abouts does this now go as there is no actual hole in the new grill to locate it into? Do I just disconnect and forget about it? I'm not sure if it was even connected in the first place.

Driving around today my exhaust flex finally gave way and now its completely split off. It smells really strong of exhaust fumes now, but i dont think i'll be able to get it into the garage until next weekend really! How much of a job is it to replace this yourself? Do i need it on a ramp? The...

Oh okay, that's more reasonable then! Thanks for the help mate :) I'll get it up tomorrow and make sure it's definitely that. Just typical it goes less than 50 miles into me owning the car! Ahh well! If I was to go for a K-tec stealth exhaust would it come included with this part to resolve the...

Oh right okay, pricey then! Don't know if 'll be able to afford that for a few weeks now! I'll have a better look underneath tomorrow. Is there any negatives with running it with it blowing for a bit?

Gave it a run back to york today and im happy to say that the build up of "cream" under the oil cap has gone! Must've been all those short journeys... Got 38.7 mpg now which is better than the 23 I was getting. Had a look today and think it is the flexi which is blowing. How much of a job is...

I'll get under it tomorrow and have a look. Would the thermostat leaking just be small then? Hence no loss in coolant? It gets upto temp okay usually.

Well i've not gone above 40 in it in the past 200 ish miles. So that's probably why too... Lot of stop start in huddersfield! Hopefully someone else is able to help. Thanks though mate you've helped a fair bit already!

Well i've had chance to record it again so here we go... There was a strange "eggy" type smell under the bonnet but the car did barely even get to temperature so may have just been that. I did find this under my oil cap though, but am i right in thinking its down to me making only small...

Okay, ill go have a nosey now. It's dark and cold though which isn't fun.. I'll try get under it tomorrow to check if my exhaust is blowing or anything

Which one is my caf hose mate?

Its actually more of a "rasping" noise if that's best to describe it.

Yeah only when revving, nothing else. Sorry yeah it's dark! Only got back to uni when it was dark, will get a better video tomorrow. You get the gist though. The thing is, its only just happened this morning! Strange...

Right just recorded it. Here's the video. When i pressed the gas there was a noise under the bonnet which i tried to get my camera to. Hard doing it on your own! Please let me know what this is as it's kind of worrying when i just bought the car... You can also hear a kind of "slipping" noise...

I don't have any evidence no, but i have a fair bit of other service history where they have spent thousands on the car in the past so i don't seem them not doing this if it would come up that it was needed? It had a gold service 700ish miles ago! I could give the PO a call and ask about the...

Okay, I'm taking it home back to York next weekend so i'll get my brother to get it on the ramps to have a look and a listen. Was just worrying about belts and the like especially as i'll still have to travel places.

I'm from Huddersfield :)

Hi guys, Noticed this morning on my (new to me) clio that when accelerating there is a tinny noise coming from the near side. It seemed to get louder the longer my journey was. There is no noise if i just sit at speed or accelerate slowly, but its noticeable on setting of/ 2nd. Is this something...

so just a normal bulb is the way to go? recommendations?

ooh how'd you mean?

Hello, Today I noticed that one of my rear bulbs has blown and was wondering whether its possible to replace this with an LED cree bulb? What size would i need to buy? I may aswell do both as the bulbs seem fairly cheap! Just don't want to buy the wrong bulb then have to buy again. Thanks, Louis

Will see whether any parts come up local! Cheers Fairm, but postage will be a fair bit and not sure on my colour code, will it be pearl black?

Who knows what i own! Guess it's not much of a big deal in regards to my insurance right? And i'll check tomorrow Impreza cheers, thanks for the offer though! Just didn't want to get in trouble with insurance and the like with it being my first car.

Well the thing is, my clio has the dark grey dynamique interior but also the electric sunroof and blind... it's definitely not got the beige cloth interior though. I havnt received the v5 yet as it hasn't come in the post. How do insurance companies expect you to know when doing your quote...

I just bought a new Clio and when doing my insurance it came up as a 1.2 5DR Clio privilege from my number plate. I assumed this was correct as this was the automatic selection so just went forward with my insurance. After looking at the spec list on another thread it seemed like I did indeed...

I was only wanting the cheapest option as if I went in for professional repair I may as well just save up a little bit more and get the sport bumpers. Thanks for all help so far though!

I checked and the drains seem clear at the front, Going to pull the seats and carpets this weekend at the back and check that the drain holes aren't letting water in. Also bought a small jump starter yesterday which is arriving today so hopefully get it started.

Yeah i'd thought so! The brother has a machine polisher and he said he'd do the whole car for me whenever i wanted. Would I be able to rattle can this? I have a small compressor at home, but i'm at uni for quite a while!

Just got a new clio and it has a scuff on the front and rear bumper quite deep and was wondering how to resolve this? I do in the long run want a 172 rear, and 182 front but that's quite far away! There's also a rather large scuff/dent on the rear passenger door, how to make this less obvious...

Here are some pictures of the Clio today after cleaning! Unfortunately the alarm went off the other night and ran the battery flat for some random reason hence the charging! Still needs polishing but yeah you get the idea. A couple of scuffs and the dent in the O/S/R door. Looks worse in photos...
