    Newbie Looking For First Clio

    Drove a Ph1 and a Cup .. and check insurance for both .. not too many companies like the Cup as there's no ABS. Buckets in a Clio are a massive advantage if you're tall.. the seating position is AWFUL and I'm not the tallest person in the world. Good luck :D

    Service

    Haynes manuals are as good as useless in my experience, they just tell you what to do, not where to find things or how to do it. Most of the pictures look like they have been taken with a fax machine, and just show a picture of a bolt, not the engine bay with a big arrow which would probably be...

    If you literally have no idea where the spark plugs are, or where the sump plug might be (think about it for more than a nano second and you'll realise it'd probably not the top of the engine) then just don't bother .. take it to a garage, or ask your dad/uncle/friend to help you.

    Where are you based ? Nothing there is complicated at all. Warm up engine (not HOT !) turn it off .. jack car up .. undo sump bolt, drain into tray .. remove oil filter .. drop car to ground .. do the air filter and pollen (under the scuttle assuming all mk2's are the same) whilst you wait...

    205 GTi Project Thread - PIC HEAVY!

    CHALLENGE ACCEPTED ! I'll stick it on the roof-rack or pop it in the boot... It probably weighs less than my MTB anyway !

    showcage help .. :/

    Passengers do not fit in the back of Clios .. throw a cage into the equation and you're asking for trouble. Would not want to be in the back of that in the event of an accident.

    Neighbours bad washing skills

    Old boy out the back of my last house used to wet his Saab with a sponge, and then appear to scrub it with a shammy applying far too much pressure. It looked MINT :dead:

    pedal 'shuddering' under heavy breaking?

    If the steering wheel wobbles under braking, it's warped discs. If it's the pedal massaging your foot, it's probably ABS ring.

    My new car!

    Cat-C ? Do not want. Insurance 9am-9pm !? So you'll be declaring it SORN every night I presume ? Anyway, enjoy being pulled. /grumpyoldperson

    How do i remove this bolt!? Pic inside :)

    It's for a seatbelt - life saving device - therefore it will have had to be fixed at a pretty high torque. The right torx bit, on the end of a ratchet will see you right !
