I found the same at lunchtime when I got in mine. I noticed some water marks on the bottom of the door at the front. Gotta look now to see what the feck is pnin! It was fine all winter.

Benj....you should have washed the dirt off first. Worked on my old RT.

Bigmoose...Not everyone on this site owns a clio, or even a renault. There seem to be loads of others. Civic Type R boys, Saxo VTR boys. I am sure some just join because it is an excellent site. You dont need to leave us. You could of course give us a diary forum of what your new S3 is...

You guys tried vaseline on your rubber?

Chloe has been saved from the humiliation of being an inferior model. I am glad she now gets all of your attention; which is the way it should be. A man can only love one clio at a time.

Next time you go in, put in some crap childrens CDs.

Tried it. Didnt noticably enhance performance. MPG went down from 33 (95r) to 31. And (referring to an earlier post) Im sure my ECU can slowly learn how to best use a fuel. Cost me 7p a litre more for less MPG. Pointless! I shall see if my car seems slower next week.

Has Chloe started to perform a little better than she used too yet? Is she looking better than ever, going faster than ever, comfier than ever, AND doing 55mpg? If she has, then she knows, and she is worried. (she may understand the situation, but she probably doesnt like it) Now I know why...

Why are the prices sooo different within the UK for your standard mid town petrol station? Surely the petrol companies have a price, and then duties and tax are added?

Can he see from the picture where he was when the photo was taken?

I was talking to a guy at Portsmouth docks, and he said that his whole console had to be replaced because of the service light. Someone must know what sensors the service light monitors.

After wifeys clio was serviced in Basingstoke, it was really lumpy on the way home. One of the spark plug cables was disconnected.

I must have driven past hundreds of middle-lane BMWs, where the driver is on the phone. Even on an empty strip of motorway, if the phone goes they just head into the middle lane - even if there is someone in the way. I think Smoking while driving should also be banned. Does driving scare you...

I can see it now. You will drive the new one more and more. Chloe will get depressed and go into decline, and you will sell the poor thing. We shall probably see her on the "For Sale" forum a week after you get your valver.

Dont you guys wish you had road legal go-carts too? http://homepage.ntlworld.com/mike.pmc/events/maxpower/maxpower.htmlhttp://homepage.ntlworld.com/mike.pmc/events/maxpower/maxpower.html They are not very posh, but they dont arf go, and they are fun! (just dont look into how safe they are)

Its not something to rev the car at lights, just in case the owner forgets too?

BenR Thanks for all of your advice. You are truly a GOD in the eyes of a humble clio owner. :=8-)

What did the sensor used to do? Can you fool it, by sticking it close to the IK?

So, running the NOS (slightly) rich is a good thing. I read the information on the UNIchip, which can also be tuned for NOS and work as a trigger and can change the advance & r****d accordingly. I guess you relay your NOS trrigger switch in with it, and it know to pick a slightly different...

I shall have a feel under the back of the drivers seat tomorrow. Hope I am not going to be dissappointed and find it is really PVC. I am fairly sure that the head rests are leather. I might have to go the whole hog and just put vinyl seat covers on.

Take the engine out. Get a new cup with the insurance. Build a twin engined cup.

Holding the courtesy car to ransom is a good idea. How will you know when you are fully satisfied? I hope the driveshafts are not costing you anything? You have also mentioned to them that you are close friends with a ClioSport area rep?

Mine has moments...once when I had 4 mates in the car, and once when I had just come off a ferry. I think there must be a "paranioa" sensor in it somewhere. (thats why it was off when your mum drove it) Any techies know what sensors make the SERVICE light come on?

I saw a TopGear the other day, where they NOS charged an old ford banger. On it they mentioned that "too much fuel will produce smoke" and "too much NOS will melt your engine". How do we know on these DIY kits what the ratio should be, and how to check we have it right?

Quicker way...Buy a white one. Replace the doors/bonnet/hatch with red ones....Then make your mates squint when you drive past.

Stick some 1.2 badges on your 172, make all the saxo boys paranoid.

I agree with sledge racer. Jealousy, and the fact that you have managed to do what they cant. I think this is also fueled by the lack of performance clio parts in the UK. Keep on showing the base-ball-cap-wearers what they should be doing!

Post us pix of you looking chuffed then!

The plastic cap will just unscrew, and is not attached to a switch or anything. You could turn it into a NOS switch by connecting one "switch" wire to the metal accellerator pedal and attaching a large metal washer to the top of the plastic cap. You could then use the metal washer to connect...

OK. yes. After a while a metro will rust to bits (a year or two of fun though). What about an engine transplant? There are always engines for sale in the For Sale forum.
