    90's modifying scene, what were we thinking????

    those were the days I remember my mates spending hours with a Stanley blade cutting chunks out their bumpers and fitting mesh, and spending weeks doing boot builds, I remember my mate chopping the bonnet across the width half way down on his nova and doing the same with an astra coupe and...

    Austin’s Clio dci 100 Initiale

    Yeah that's the alarm, they are not fitted at the factory and are fitted instead at import centre in the UK. Seems to be a hit or a miss how well they are done lol

    Mk2 Clio DCi Daily

    Why spend money on a £200 van! Our driving school cars do just as many trouble free miles on the crossland filters that they do on the factory filters, not an issue.

    Oil usage normal amount

    lumpy idle is normal. none of mine have used a drop other than my ph1 which used to use about a litre every few thousand miles, never done it any harm infact it was probably the fastest one I had lol. Renault wont entertain it unless its using more than a litre per 1000 miles for warranty work

    Replacement 220 tyres or/and wheels.

    i had pilot sport 4 on my last mk4 clio and have SuperSport on my 220t, regular pilot sport 4 was better in the wet imo, hard to tell in the dry but I wouldnt say the super sport is night and day better. if you end up going PS4 I would say its more a side step than a down grade so don't let...

    Martin's Clio DCi Van

    The drivers side front damper was seized solid, no suspension at all on that side, I was putting it off as I fancied a set of coilovers and nice wheels but they noticed when doing the belts that the damper had snapped!!! So attacked it today, this is how it came off the car....

    MarkCup's BMW M140i

    love it in black, totally blends in like your 200 did! I feel your pain with the Focus, my 220 trophy has been in and out of the dealers various times and the Renault dealership network is horrible. Have got Renault uk involved as in the past they have got things moving and unfortunately they...

    New member- clio 1.2 ph1 project

    its a straight forward swap if you have a doner car but as above sunroof is an issue as the shell isn't as strong. doesn't make it impossible just slightly flawed. everything bolts straight over but you would need a doner car to do it right so it begs the question is it worth while? buying a...

    Austin’s Clio dci 100 Initiale

    when mine used to play up I used to unplug the 3 plugs from the bottom of the UCH and leave it for an hour then re connect, this would make it work flawlessly for a month before starting again, I just lived with it but I believe it was the UCH on its way out, similar issues with fast flashing...

    220 Tuning

    I would be worried about fitting a fmic to mine as I seen how hot it was getting in the summer when it was 25c outside and I was out a blast, I couldn't touch the bonnet!
