Next question - where do I find covers made for the seats?!

I'm running the NS-2 road tyres on my DCI. I'm still running the same set from 18 months ago, as they've not worn out yet. Need to swap them round, as the fronts have about 3mm left, with the rears sporting about 4/5mm. I hit some proper standing water the other day for probably the first...

Awesome, cheers guys. Anyone else use seat covers for theirs? I'm aware the bolsters are susceptible to wear and was hoping of at least slowing down the process.

Well, I hope they are, as I'm picking a full 197 interior up this weekend. :cool:

standard 197 seats. How supportive are they? Good for occasional trackday use? Standard seats in my DCI are a bit "wallowy" when undertaking a spirited drive. A suitable upgrade?

Need a massage tone?...

Welcome Paul. Don't worry, there's a whole range of Clio's on here, with more MK3's coming through. I myself have an 86bhp diesel - so hello to another diesel owner! Check out the project threads for ideas. Mine is the link under my username for example.

Re: CS Camping Trip 2014 (Details Updated) Aldi currently have a 3 man igloo tent for £30 with a 3yr warranty. https://www.aldi.co.uk/en/specialbuys/thursday-22nd-may/product-detail/ps/p/igloo-tent-1/

No - the wheels remind me of the lids from one of these...

<3 The Halo geeks. I cannot wait for Halo 5.

Finally got round to swapping my faulty fuel flap motor on Sunday. Not so much of a ballache as I thought it would be.

Possibly similar to when you take a car abroad. You can buy stickers to put on your headlights to deflect the beams to accommodate driving on the left. Not sure on the blue and silver theme personally. Also think that the whole interior should match instead of being half blue and half black.

Could've looked at my thread. :clown:

Looks nice. I debated 30mm but then wondered if I'd have problems with my 17's rubbing.

I broke my old Vectra of most of it's parts, and then scrapped the rest. Made much more than just selling the vehicle. I've broken 3 bikes in my time too. Again, much more money in them in parts than as a whole. The only downside is I still have Vectra and SV650 parts in the garage.

I wasn't sure if the turbo was a straight swap or whether it was different on the 106? Apparently the block is different too, stronger crank (as said at the end of the previous page). Might just be better to stick with a remap, panel filter and a decat.

Engine conversion time?! Lol.

I never like the job I do on mine, so I've not washed it myself in probably 2 years! I take it down to the nice european chap in town who charges £12 for inside and out.

I can get them couriered down through work for not alot, so drop me a PM with your address and I'll dig them out. They're only taking up space in my garage now.

Anyone on here?

Lol, ok. Sounds like I won't be going down that route then! Decat then - is it worth it? Apparently the right-hand driveshaft needs to come off to remove it.

Haha! Seems a bargain! Just looked in my haynes, and there's something about the timing belt needs renewing on the 106 without exception. But on the 86 and 68 models if you remove/ refit a pump the belt can simply be locked with the tools and the pump removed.

So definitely need a 106 pump then. I wonder how much they are new.... LOL. Might look into a decat. Again, no idea if it's at the manifold or through the system itself.

Yeah, the remap folks I've spoken to said anything from 100bhp - 110bhp on a remap alone. How loud is it without a de-cat? Lol. The 106 is used in the Megane, Kangoo and Qashqai too I believe. Might have better luck from the latter. Believe it's this part number: 8200380253 The pump is a...

I assume so?! No idea my friend. If I could get it to 106bhp territory, then I'd get it remapped. Should be circa 125bhp-130bhp then apparently (At least that's what a standard 106 maps to).

I still want to do this - does anyone have any info at all? Would the 106 injectors and fuel pump be suffice? HMS Derv Destroyer

Nice work there foz. Where abouts are you? Might have an old lid or 2 you can use for practice if you like?

The MD has a 5 series. The interior is lush but the outside is fugly.

Sorted. I don't know whether one bulb caused them all to fail, but I ended up changing the 2 sidelights and number plate bulbs back to standard and they're working now. The 2 led bulbs I used for the number player almost looked scorched. Reckon the wet had got in and toasted them.
