    top spec clio....what is it?

    initiale is the top spec, better spec than the 182 in many ways! dynamiques also came with rare optional extras such as xenons, colour sat nav, ESP, cruise control, 6 disc changers, cabasse head unit, climate control and electric sunroof. 1.2s are cheap and cheerful but not very good to...

    new owner from Lanarkshire, scotland.

    172 originals are these ones... your thinking of 182 wheels welcome hope you enjoy the car, wont be as quick but will be just as fun and a lot cheaper to run!!

    172 cup springs or stnadard 172 springs?

    they are the better choice, noticeable or not who knows, the 172 cup had different dampers too (although looked the same and are interchangeable with a 172) they were slightly stiffer and lower

    Question about k4j and k4m

    both look pretty much identical do they not? why tell lol however, after doing quite a few miles in a 1.6 16v they are slow and boring would be ok if they had a decent rev range on them.

    Car starting and then killing itself.

    clean the throttle body just done this to cure a 1.6 16v vvt that was cutting out when cold its a free fix so worth trying before paying for any diagnostics

    Handbrake locked on!

    well surely by saying rock the car IN GEAR he means using the engine to move it, in gear and not stand like a fud trying to push the car back and forward?!?! if this was the case what would it being in gear have to do with the rear wheels. and obviously if they fail your going to replace them...

    because the shoes fail and lock onto the drum, rocking it usually releases them.
