Any ideas what this could be? My brothers gf has a 1998 1.2 clio and its using LOTS of oil. It's recently got through over a litre in 300 miles. it isn't leaking it, so must be burning it. It's done fairly high miles (circa 140k). Could it be rings? Or valve stem seals? would it be easiest...

Anyone know what the thread size is on the brembo calipers? I'm on about where the brake hose bolts to. I want to thread a bolt into them whilst off the car so they don't spill fluid everywhere. Actually whilst I think about it, what thread are the bleed nipples? Cheers guys.

Any more stipulation than that? The wife has boost in her Ibiza (1.2!) Does that make her more of a man than me?! lol

The one in my 197 seems fairly accurate, when parked on level ground of course. Chris

Change it back to std, much better and with 0% chance of being pulled (well, for the plate anyway)

Possible troll? The OP hasn't been back to answer any of the questions.... seems odd to me.

I think the OP may realise that after opening the thread I linked to. Well, at least I hope he does!

Whilst you are at it, please take a look at this thread http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?687610-quot-A-quot-or-quot-An-quot

I'll believe it when I see it. It's been coming in for about 12 months now.

Pretty standard practice to check it properly isn't it? I know I do! Did nothing show up on an HPI check? Did you even do one?

2007 57 plate 197 F1 recently ticked over to 66k.

Why should they though? It's damaged, not faulty. That's like Renault offering you a new car after you have crashed your 172. Unless of course you meant he would have to pay for it? If so then please ignore my comment!

I'm with you on this, all the 197's that are on <30k miles makes me laugh! Get out there and drive them! There are people that think 10k a year is HIGH mileage! My car had done an average of 13k a year when I bought it, people thought I was mad!

ECP? Try and find a discount code if you can, you should get it quite a bit cheaper (not that it's expensive in the first place)...

Agreed, and nobody is disputing that. I can get 35mpg if I drive at 65-70. I went to Snowdon and back late last year and sat with the CC set to 70 all the way there and back and achieved 33mpg however the trip computer does under read in my opinion. On that journey I brimmed the tank then...

Only if their are injuries I believe.

How does an 18 year old student afford a brand new 200?

Is this in your own name? £570 seems very cheap for a 22 year old without proper NCD. Unless you park in Fort Knox and do 5 miles a year?

Maybe check out the East Midlands section? http://www.cliosport.net/forum/forumdisplay.php?128-East-Midlands

44mpg isn't high 40's though is it? 44 is mid 40's. I have no problems accepting the mpg is shocking on the 197, i'm averaging 28mpg maximum. What I do object to is claims of 1,000,000 miles to a teaspoon of petrol that seem to pop up on here very regularly. It seems like its the only thing...

Sorry but I don't believe that. Maybe high 30's maybe 40 at a push but not high 40's unless you are sitting at 50-55 mph all the time?

Be prepaired for a few return journeys to Mr Clutch. A 306 GTI-6 I had a couple of years ago had a clutch change by them (before I bought it I might add!) I took it back to them as it was juddering, they replaced it FOC under warranty. 3 weeks later it was juddering again. I replaced it with a...

Why not go for an F4Rt?

Then buy it outright. Unless you get finance on 0% then you will be out of pocket. The interest rate on your borrowing will be higher than the interest rate on your savings meaning you will be losing out.

^ this! You do sound like a complete tool to be honest.

Please type like a normal human being, not an ape. How hard is it to type out words in full?

Me too, but a number of people have been quoted stupid prices by Renault as they say the glass has to come out!

You may be able to get them cheaper but they are £14.75 each here. http://renaultpartsdirect.co.uk/products/Renault-Clio-3-1%7B47%7D4-Glass-Seal.html ive used them for loads of bits

Connects2 is probably the best option if you want to have control of the ipod from your headunit. http://www.connects2.co.uk/VehicleProducts.aspx.aspx?Manufacturer_ID=46&Model_ID=147 Also, be wary if you got to a dealer for the window seals to be replaced. They will insist that the rear...

I sprayed my front grilles with some satin black spray paint. Worked a treat!
