lol well i got home ok

i just hope its not like old CVH engines, when they go like hell just before they blow up.....

not sure really mate, i guess so, iv seen a few higher mileage ones, i know of that silver one that was still going at 208k until the aux belt snapped, and i know of a cup on 158k so iv still got a while to go yet,iv also seen another black one on 138k, but i guess mines gotta be one of the more...

.......in nearly two weeks, i bought an Escort as i was offered it cheap, and iv been using that, but decided to drive the Clio today, god iv missed it lol, and i know its going to feel fast after a 1.6 16v Zetec engine but good god i swear its going even better Though now iv not driven...

agreed, like i said mines done it from the day i bought it, and iv done coming up 26k now, and its still fine, its worried me a few times to be honest mate, but nothing has ever shown up through driving, and it still makes great power

no mate i think i have that too, i can hear it from under the bonnet, or near the car but hear it alot more clear inside, ie when blipping the throttle lightly when sat in the drivers seat, what happens if you hold it at say 1300 rpm does it constantly make this noise? im not sure if the noise...

can you hear it when you listen with the bonnet open mate? as in leaning over the engine

id love a low mile ph1 to use as a toy, my ph1 now on 124k and still has 173.3 bhp :)

it might not be covered, i know iv had headlights rejected under warranty at work (VW) for condensation, pop in and ask for a technician to have a quick look with you, free diag FTW

lol makes me giggle how many people post their low miles when the thread says whats the highest mileage 182

lovely pics, i would have come but i didn't realise you had a meet :( my own fault for not looking

mines on 124k now and still on its original clutch and box, i think it does depend on how it was looked after, also i think Clio's suffer badly from the 'friday afternoon car' syndrome, get a bad one and you will see no end of trouble, get a good one and look after it and you will be fine

fuel filters got a life expectancy of 150k and its in the tank iirc so i doubt its that

iv got VW PD diesel oil mine (i work for VW) iv chatted to castrol about this when iv ordered our bulk oil (about 2500 ltrs in one go lol not much really) and they have said its fine to go into petrols, and VW are hopefully announcing soon we will be using PD oil in petrols soon

^^ perfect advice i think

have to disagree there, the ph2 air box isnt a great design, esp on the 172's, hence why people fit the ph1 or espace v6 airbox dont remove the airbox as then the panel filter will have no where to fit lol, fit a panel, will make a small improvement, not really noticable though

i know its not a Clio but im hoping one of the tuners on here might shed some light on this for me: i am trying to get a 2000 year 1.6 16v zetec ford escort though its emissions test, and cant get it to pass, ther CO drops to just within limits at 0.018% after coming down from 0.757% (limit...

yeah my fronts last me around 6000 miles or so, but i havent found a tyre thats better yet

i would say going that fast into that roundabout, hearing how he only steered out of it with no throttle control id say that was more luck than anything else that is true,alot more progressive that the clio though the point i was trying to make was he simply turned in,let off and let it...

ring Renault with your reg number im sure they can get it from that chap, thats how i do it at work with VW's

work discount FTW ;)

205s will fit on a 7 inch rim yes i didnt mean nessesarly(sp) driving fast in the wet, more knowing i have some grip there lol

there even more expensive fred lol, wont that make the steering too heavy?

well everyone iv now spoken to has told me that F!'s in this size have now been discontinued, and that they assemetrials(sp) that now replace the F1s are not available in this size, so guys who can recommend me a new tyre to try? as its winter i would like something with wet grip, thats why i...

simple dont sell the willy :) lol

Pm'd ya mate ;) Mark id say yours has got ALOT longer in it, seeing how well you have looked after it

i cant see that being genuine, id say personal plate,my ph1 was reg'd in may 2001

no GT as yet, our one is a fairly basic spec TDI, the GTI is set sometime in April

v-tec just kiced in yo!!! no wait............ seriously though proper lush!

Re: my clio rs dream is over its dead nooooooooo! what happened!!
