    Coolant boiling over but temp gauge normal and no fans kick in?

    Was that 20 minutes from cold start? Something still not 100% IMO. It should take longer than 20 minutes for it to get hot enough for the fans to kick in at idle.

    up the power on my clio

    Are there not issues with size and/or gearboxes on this? Isn't that why people tend to turbo the original engine rather than fit the megane engine?

    Speaker Upgrade?

    I'm with @Goodj on this. If you fit uprated speakers, but don't amp them sufficiently it can (and probably will) sound worse than OE speakers. The main issue in a Clio is the lack of any real substance to the doors, floors, roof etc so if you start increasing the volume and bass all you do is...

    Mot fail advice...

    My guess is you'll want a tie rod, track rod end and an anti roll bar bush. As for part prices my guesses would be: tie/track rod - £25 TRE - £15 Anti roll bar bushes - £15 Cost of fitting - if you don't have a tool suitable for undoing the tie rod then it's probably going to be easier (and...

    Hankook v12 Evo 2

    I had 2 fitted to the front of my car on Christmas Eve, I had Pilot Sport 3's before that. Wet grip seems comparable if not a little better, but I'm yet to have play in the dry. I think the side walls are a little soft (or at least softer than the PS3's) as they feel a bit more forgiving on pot...

    The "Ive taken a pic and I kinda like it" thread

    First time taking a picture of the moon with a DSLR, I know it's nothing compared to what some of you guys can/are producing, but I was happy with it. This was Christmas eve, on the driveway leaning on the wifes car roof. Full Moon (ish) 24/12/2015 by Chris Maskrey, on Flickr

    Beginner DSLR, talk to me?

    The I believe the D3300 uses the same sensor, it certainly the same size and MP count at least. I bought the D3300 dual zoom kit before xmas, £319 with the cashback (which I received in less than 2 weeks). It's basic in the fact that it's not got WiFi, GPS, touch screen but in terms of picture...

    Does the rad get hot? How long was it left idling for?

    Cam belt jump!!!!!

    Well it looks like someone has attacked it with a dremel - badly! A few things - firstly, did you compression test it? If so, what were the results? How have you checked the valves? They could have a very minor bend that wouldn't be visible to the naked eye. Do you have the full set of timing...

    Van drove into me - then puts a claim in against me

    Why wouldn't they be?

    Van drove into me - then puts a claim in against me

    I'd say it'll go 50/50. Both should have been looking before undertaking the manoeuvre. Car parks are terrible for this sort of thing. Morons shooting out of spaces without looking. Tesco @ Alfreton is the worst round here.

    where are the drop links located ?

    1*2 is used instead of 172 and 182. Yes, phase 1 or 2, it will not have anywhere for this part to go. The ARB is slightly different to most cars as it clamps directly to the suspension arm, rather than having a 'link'. The lower engine models have them, so whoever sold them to you will have...

    WTF is that monstrosity. £4k for the bodykit? Yeah, of course it was pal.

    Uniroyal Rainsport 3

    I have PS3's now and other than the speed of wear (less than 10k for a full set!) I've been happy with them. I'm going to try something less 'summer' this time though, as I did struggle in the winter last year. To be fair to the PS3's, a lot of it is down to a) the way it's been driven and b)...

    Lazy winter wash

    http://www.carpro.uk.com/hydrofoam-wash-and-coat-hydro2-snow-foam/ Foam and sealant in one. I use it, it's great. Takes 15-20 minutes. I jetwash the car to remove the loose stuff, foam it, agitate and rinse. Job done

    itb cooling issue?

    Who fitted the ITB's? I'd be asking them if it was wired and set up for the fans before messing with it. If it is, then testing it is just a case of getting the car hot enough for the fans to kick in. You're unlikely to get it hot enough driving (sensibly) on the road unless sat in a traffic...

    clio 197 r27 f1 LY - £6000

    Don't take this personally, but you really need to work on the advert mate, as it's currently not great. When was the last service, when is the next due? Who changed the cam belt and when? Full service history until you bought it, is this just a stamped book or do you have the invoices too. DO...

    Clio Water Pump leaking, serious issue or not?

    You really should have taken it back to the place that changed the pump, it shouldn't have continued to leak after they completed the work. I'd still take it back to be honest, they may help you out. It could be a faulty pump? Either way, get it sorted. You can cause serious damage if you run...

    Auto Wipers out of sync

    Sounds like all the French auto wipers I've ever used. 306's, 307's, Clio's, C4's - they've all been terrible, the Volvo's work really well though.

    ecu swapping fault

    Seems drastic to swap all that over, was it just guess work or had someone diagnosed the ECU at fault? Aren't there some well known wiring issues on the 1.2 16v? @MicKPM is your man.

    Clio 172 won't start, no power at coil pack

    Stop guessing and get it looked at. Bridging this that and the other is only going to end up damaging something if you aren't careful. Do you have breakdown cover? Or could you buy break down cover?

    Urgent - dephaser pully rattle

    108671 & 8200782671 are the same part, it's shared across many cars with the F4R engine. Take a look at this eBay advert. It has all the part numbers for reference, and the list of cars...

    Looking for someone to do some paint correction/ spray a few parts in Cheltenham/Gloucester area

    How bad is the scratch? can you feel it with your finger/thumb nail? If so, you're unlikely to remove it fully. Do you have and good quality photo's of the damage?

    Is it me - or does the bumper look a slightly different colour to the wing in the last photo?

    Some of the android boxes have USB ports for storage etc, so they would be able to do what the OP wants.
