the engine wiring loom on the 1.2 16v engine is a very common fault, baisically just rubbish, we have replaced 3 this year i think and we are a very small garage, but the just silence has baffled me sorry
saw a 57 reg mondeo go through one at my local garage, from half way up the door down was still plastered in mud, real bad job, and devalued car by loads with all them little tiny stones getting rubed in circles all over body work :eek:
sick of looking through old threads, so baisically all i want ot know is what type of smd do i need to convert my dash to blue??? as there are different numbered ones:S 0603 and 0805?? confused lol
i just took the strut out, laid it on the floor then un-did nut, with a few old tyres left on the floor to catch spring etc worked well, and because shorter springs going on front just need one middle weight FATTY to compress spring while you start nut, then reverse previous steps, job done :)...
take a look at his cleaning mats video, it takes 2 seconds per mat to hover, then he puts the hover in his car as its more safe??? then washes them with some fairy liquid lol what a looser!!! lol
if anything the 8 valve engine is more reliable ;) it gets me from a-b and back again so i cant complain, and the police dont stop me as often as they did when i rode my moped, that was 98 db though, loud!!! :o clio is more stealth hehehe
i had a pheasant the size of a bloody cow (honest it was huge!!) hit me on the helmet while riding my bike, popped out of hedge going round a left hand corner, i had a scratch down side of my helmet!! it hurt lol
in looking at doing my bonnet as it has water marks and all kinds of marks left by birds etc lol i was wondering is there anyway i could use polishing pads in a d/a orbital sander?? would it work?? ohh and magnetic L plates leave mark's in your paint:mad:
i was then told that for my next test if i take my mot certificate then i can then do my test, now where on the mot test sheet is bonnet catch??? i dont care i got my mot certificate ready for the free test they hav given me this week ;)
sorry but which sony head units have this 3.5mm jack as im stuggleing to find one for my clio, i wish people would also post pics of the back of a radio when selling one :mad:
thanks
found this a tiny bit funny, just worthy or posting, i must not of been informed that they also made a 172 version of the mk3 lol

it also depends on the individual cars, cos we have 4 8 valve 1.2 clio's and the 140k mile clio has loads more poke than the red'un, so there are also slight performance differences between same models lol, is it something to do with run in proceedure, or slackness of engine etc???
