Was cleaning the lil' Clio at the weekend with my buckets and sponges but almost picked up the pressure washer to use instead. What cleaning products/lances would be best? I fancy doing some snow foam but don't know what's required or how to do it! lol Any help?

Has anyone found any material that matches the colour of the rear shelf? I'm making a stealth shelf and want it to look as close to original as I can but don't know what colour/where to buy...

My bro's car is making a strange noise when in gear. As soon as the clutch is engaged the noise disappears. He says it's like "A whirring noise that gets louder as I accelerate". If it is the clutch how much would it cost for a new one or just for fitting if he got the parts? Any ideas...

I thought it was because I had the wrong size wiper blades but it still does it.. When it's raining and the wipers go faster than normal, they go off the windscreen and if fast enough, round the side of the car. It's scratched my car and it's really annoying. Are they easy to adjust? Would I...

Looking to make a false floor and was wondering where I could get a material to match either the material on the sides of the boot or the carpet in the car?

Have tried finding guides but no luck. I want to remove the black bits from front/rear bumpers for colour coding but don't know how to get the buggers off. Any help?

My wheels are caked in brake dust and the discs look quite a bit thinner.. :S Roughly how much would it cost to get new discs and pads for the front + fitting? Cheers, Matt.

Looking to change my big three but to be honest don't have a clue what I'm doing. Are there any guides/tips as to what wires should be changed and what precautions to take, etc?

Got my tripod last weekend and my remote arrived the other day so I went out for a few snaps. These were mostly on aperture priority with the smallest aperture, ISO 200 and I let the camera do the rest. Any comments would be greatly appreciated.. Not had the D40 long. Oh yeah... the car is...

Looking to get some more ICE in the clio soon but my battery light is on constantly as it is so I will be upgrading the "big 3" and putting a heavy duty battery in... only prob is I don't know which is best. Total power will be about 2600W peak/800W RMS and I don't want to upgrade the...

Looking to lower my car soon about 60/70mm and need to get some prices of uprated shocks. Budget of around £200... not sure if I can get a set for this or not and what brands to look at. Any advice?

Long story short my sister needed a new car and my Dad was buying it so he got her a Clio. This is what our drive looks like when she comes over... Silver PH1 172 (bros) Black 1.4 Auto (not sure what trim.. one of the low ones - hers) Blue 1.2 Dynamique (mine) :D

Spoken to you before but noticed you've got yellow lettering on the badges now. Looks good!

Noticed the other day that as my brake light comes on the rear fog light icon on dash flashes. If I hold the brake steady I can get it to flash then stay on slowly. It also kinda clicks through the speakers. Is this just a loose wire or something? Have had someone look for me and the fog lights...

My bro's after a new exhaust for his PH1 172.. all he wants is a new backbox and a decat. He was quoted £120 for everything apart from the box itself (cutting, welding, fitting, etc). This price might include a decat but I'm not sure. Either way, is this the right price? Seems quite a nice...

Came out of Weatherspoons and saw this lil clio parked a few spaces up from me with one of the old style large CS stickers in back window. Looked like a Dynamique but all my mates think I'm sad anyway so didn't bother inspecting it. :P

Was stopped on the other side of level crossings and went over in opposite direction. Didn't have time to check for any stickers as I was turning to go down to the station. Love those cars. :D

Fitted some new bulbs from Halfords the other day (buy one get one free) but they seem to be a lot higher than the old ones. Whether or not this is simply because they're brighter and light up more or not I don't know. It's the passenger side which I know sits a little higher anyway as to light...

Have considered all the options such as 60mm springs, 60mm springs and shocks, and coilovers but ideally want 70mm front and 60mm rear with new shocks. I've had a quick look this morning but can't find anything so thought I'd post up and see what others have done? Have seen the Highsports GB...

Fed up with the rattles now so hopefully going to jump in the back of the car and sort it out tomorrow. Only problem is I don't know what to remove! Have searched but can't find a guide or anything on how to get into the rear panels to put sound deadening in... Will the inside just clip off...

As I was pulling into Ladymead saw a silver Clio coming out. Didn't look for stickers and can't remember but think it was a PH2 172... was too busy trying to work out what you were saying to your lady friend after pointing at my yelow badges! Then as I was coming out saw a 1.4 PH1 but was...

Has anybody had experience with wiring things into the dashboard lights so that they are powered whenever lights are on? To be more specific, I have a volt gauge that I only want lit up when the rest of the lights are on. Matt.

Got some new sidelight and dipped beam bulbs today and when I was fitting the non-drivers side sidelight I heard a click and the whole thing moved forward. Whilst holding the bulb holder I can move the inside of the cluster up and down now.. Jumped in the car and used the adjusting dial to try...

A mate of mine said he'll be able to sort me out with a decat pipe onto a backbox I've got laying around. I know I won't get power from it, but I love the sound this box made on my bro's car and want to get it fitted. He said all I need is an old cat so he can take the flanges off and weld onto...

Just a random thought, but are there any laws against exterior lighting in the way of a few LEDs behind the Renault diamond, so it glows around the edges slightly? That and... would it look tacky? I'm thinking yes, but unless someone else has tried it I might have to do it just to see how it...

Going to order 60mm kit from k-tec but not 100% that it's the right rise. http://www.k-tecracing.com/show_product.asp?id=1791

Anbody have any experience with insurance companies that are "ok" with mods as a young driver? I don't mind paying out a bit more to have mods, but I'm currently with Churchil (they were cheapest out of those I checked) and they don't allow mods. Will be things like interior mods, exhaust...

Have been looking at other insurance plans for next year on a slightly more powerful car (probably a 1.6) and morethan wern't that bad considering I done the quote with < 1 year experience, 0 no claims and 18 years old but saw this in their policy.. Does this mean cosmetic mods won't increase...

Just seen the "lite" version in the App store and decided to take a look at it. Providing the hardware and app aren't too pricey this would be awesome! http://devtoaster.com/products/rev/index.html

Getting my induction kit this weekend but don't know what size elbow to use for it.. Anyone care to enlighten me? 2005 (new engine shape) 1.2 Dynamique. Cheers!
