30-70 in........47.17 secs & 2920 feet - LOL - for some reason my AP22 doesnt seem to register the second time properly. When it does work for the 70mph I have to be over 80mph! Now I know the car is 5mph at 70mph so why does it only register around 82/83mph then not at all!! Most times I only...
Well the AP22 if off e-bay - I couldnt resist it (credit card:() so I should get it this week. Roll on some times!!!
Got 4 new Toyos 195/50 R15 fitted on saturday - Heres what I think (if you care;)) so far:
The Bad - The Williams is far less composed over bumpy roads than with the 185s, I...
How much (if any) oil should my car burn? I havent had to put extra oil in a petrol car before between services! This is the second month in a row ive put some in the Williams.
It seems to be using about 1/8th per 1000miles - thats a very very rough guess BTW!
Is this normal?
Well ive seen my local alloy refurb guy for a price and he has quoted:
£40 ea all Gold
£50 ea Gold with silver rim
My main problem is that he cannot do the diamond cut silver finish just a normal alloy silver!
What does everyone think? Should I go with either option or do you know...
Got the Willie back today and the guys & gal at Renault were great - they had my car for 8 days checking the electrics and charged me NOTHING! I payed for a new starter 3 weeks ago and they felt this was the same job. They had the RTE on it during his spare time. He found 6 possible causes of...
OK It died 3 times and 2 times I got it re-started over 1 hour later. The 3rd time I got the power back but nothing from the starter. I put it in to Renault and they said the starter was knackered - well fair enough but what about the other times - well they said that was it on its way out...
New starter motor and they reckon that it caused the electrical gremlins - we will see. £195 All in:o They have had it for just over a week and I was getting tempted to sell it and try something different - well sat in traffic fo 30mins tonight then decided as I got close to home I would go for...
Well after my car dying twice yesterday with the alarm/immobiliser fiasco and its final rev to 2,500 then death. I towed it to Renualt last night - I just got a phone call - "We dont know about your electrical problem yet sir because you need a new starter motor" :o We cant sort out your faulty...
LOL Well what can I say - got someone I knew that fitted alarms to look at my car. He got the car going but the battery had been out for over 1- hour (Rhys) and was fully charged when I tested it so that doesnt seem to be the problem. He then took the top off the dashboard and disconnected the...
Right: For the last 3 days my car has been beeping when turning on the ignition! Then this morning no beeps - great!
Well not really I drove the car to town but when I got back in it - the remote central locking worked OK but the alarm went off and the immobiliser set!! The alarm sounds like...
When I get in my Willie its started beeping for 10-20 seconds when I turn the ignition on:confused: This has never happened before and the only thing different from before is the outside temperature of 25 degrees. The fuel is quite low but has been lower. Anyone know why the beeping all of a...
Which will it be for my Willie? I need four new tyres and handling comes tops over price so should I stick as Renault intended or should I change as some others have? I must admit to finding the handling better than any other car I have driven especially over the wild back roads Ive been on...
Im putting my car into a mates garage for a check-over because of the following I had posted in general. "Since I have had the car I have noticed a bit of slack when letting the clutch out and accelerating - this with a few clunks at the same time. Tonight I noticed if I change gear while moving...
Since I have had the car I have noticed a bit of slack when letting the clutch out and accelerating - this with a few clunks at the same time. Tonight I noticed if I change gear while moving without letting the clutch out there is a mechanacal noise/crunch. This happens with every gear while on...
Its tyre time for me again so I thought id see what everyone else likes and dislikes - Best dry weather tyre is what I want as I drive slow in the wet anyway! I put this thread in this forum so I would last a bit longer!!
My favorite so far: Yokohama A539
My most Hated: Pirelli P600...
Just wondering - especially for a Willie what difference there is if any? I have read a bit about the Hillpower ones but its far easier to get mine superchipped way up here!
The Willie stuffed the "alleged" 300bhp RX7:devilish: Sorry to dial-up guys about the pics!

Well its my cousins RX7 and hes still running in the engine after a rebuild so cant go over 3,000 Rpm which gave me a small advantge ;). Due...
Anyone taken theirs off a Phase1/2. I have a loose nut or something behind mine I want to sort but the haynes manual appears to show glue!! I am wondering how easy it is to take off and also out back on?
I was going to save up for a Alpine CDA7894R but can get one second hand for just over £220 from a mate. Then I found this new sony CDXMP40 for £125

what does everyone...
According to the ICE info the Clios have Tweeters in the Dash and Speakers in the doors - simple. BUT Williams didnt get speakers in the doors - how do I tell if I have speakers or tweeters in the dash? There are FOUR cables connected to each one.
OK ive established what most of my butchered cables are for but ive got some problems.
I have 2 left : a Grey/Blue & a Grey/Black
Anyone know why they are there?
Also the front doors are strange, here goes:
Front Right from Radio: Pink- Beige+
Front Right Dash: 2 x Pink- 2 x Beige+...
Anyone thats done this to their willie - did you get more va va voom?:o
Or was it all a bit limp?:oops:
Ive been planning a de-cat but seen mixed responses to them.
Ive got a williams with a Cat Back Magnex and was wondering about a few things?
Does a cat by-pass make much difference?
Is it louder?
Is the Clio exhaust a 2 part one or a 3 part? ie: if i get a magnex cat by-pass pipe will that be me fully stainless - or is there another section?
No...
Heres Speedline UKs reply to my e-mail - basically I was trying to go direct as Renualt £900 odd is way too much!
Youre right about the Clio Williams wheels being made by Speedline. They were originally made in Speedlines main original equipment plant for Renault. We are the UK arm of...
Why does my car have speaker compartments in the doors but no speakers - are all Willies/16vs the same?
I just noticed today so I hope its supposed to be like this - they appear to be in the dash,surley I could fit bigger better ones in the front doors! Although I am a novice at ICE.
Anyone had it done? I tried a search but could find nothing. Theres not too much wrong with mine but a few bits of corrosion on them. I know someone that refubs alloys but I wouldnt trust him with my Willies ones as they have a polished rim.
I changed the worn front tyres (2mm % 3mm) to the back last night to try and put off buying new tyres I cant afford - result=
This morning on my way to work I have to go round 1 roundabout - drove on like normal turned right and out comes the rear end:oI left the roundabout sideways looking...
Ive never driven a sporty renauly before so there could be nothing wrong but my Clio Willies clutch is heavier than any other car ive owned. Is this normal or is there something about to fail?
At last, after a load of travelling and hasstle I got a Williams 2. Low Milage, 1 owner & immaculate condition. The only probs are the alloys are kerbed (not badly) and after 370miles the magex has made me deaf. Ill get some pics up but you all know what a Willie looks like anyway. There is a...
