    Bleeding technique?

    Wd40 isn't a penetrating fluid. It just makes sh*t rust faster ;)

    How have I broken my IE

    This bug crops up for me from time to time... I think it's PH as I'm using Chrome on OS X.

    Ph 1 172 what silver have i got?

    Does it have a blue tinge to it ? If so, it's Iceberg: Clio by evil_giraffes_rule, on Flickr To compare, HOU, Titanium, OTT, Iceberg.: _MG_5945 by evil_giraffes_rule, on Flickr

    This advert is a joke right?

    I recognise that .. I guess it's been on here at some point, either spotted or shot down in flames in media somewhere. Do not want. Advert is also hilariously terrible. "done a 1.8 Astra" ? Amazing. I overtook an F40 in my old Clio .. true story.

    another day, another partial wrap

    Work looks good as normal... However, the roof MB by itself doesn't suit at all IMO. I must be getting old :S

    ph1 172 leak from roof light cluster

    Ph1 ? That'll be the Aerial hole in the roof. Whip the light off, no need to remove the headliner. You'll see a nut + what looks like a stud, that's the bottom of the aerial. Take it all off... Bit of silicone, or some thick foam to fit under the base, and make sure it's done up tight and...

    Can 'Update List' directly replace a 'Tuner List' without cutting or changing wires?

    Re: Can 'Update List' directly replace a 'Tuner List' without cutting or changing wir Why bother ? Put a decent HU in there like Alpine.

    Bleeding technique?

    Newbie Looking For First Clio

    Drove a Ph1 and a Cup .. and check insurance for both .. not too many companies like the Cup as there's no ABS. Buckets in a Clio are a massive advantage if you're tall.. the seating position is AWFUL and I'm not the tallest person in the world. Good luck :D

    wrote my clio off

    Oopsy. Back wheel must have hit the curb. Was this completely your fault, i.e.: playing with it ? .. did you ever resolve this problem: http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?595611-always-gets-the-back-out..-this-normal

    ph1 172 or a 172 cup?

    GOOD NEWS EVERYBODY ! Ph1s FTW !!!

    Service

    Haynes manuals are as good as useless in my experience, they just tell you what to do, not where to find things or how to do it. Most of the pictures look like they have been taken with a fax machine, and just show a picture of a bolt, not the engine bay with a big arrow which would probably be...

    unlucky parking (kind of) EVO/impreza content

    I would actually be crying. Sod that. Never know why people park within 1/2 mile of a race trac/rally stage ! :dapprove:

    Is that photo location really on your way home ? Did you get lost haha ! :rasp: Was going to say exactly this.

    If you literally have no idea where the spark plugs are, or where the sump plug might be (think about it for more than a nano second and you'll realise it'd probably not the top of the engine) then just don't bother .. take it to a garage, or ask your dad/uncle/friend to help you.

    Service

    Where are you based ? Nothing there is complicated at all. Warm up engine (not HOT !) turn it off .. jack car up .. undo sump bolt, drain into tray .. remove oil filter .. drop car to ground .. do the air filter and pollen (under the scuttle assuming all mk2's are the same) whilst you wait...

    205 GTi Project Thread - PIC HEAVY!

    CHALLENGE ACCEPTED ! I'll stick it on the roof-rack or pop it in the boot... It probably weighs less than my MTB anyway !

    showcage help .. :/

    Passengers do not fit in the back of Clios .. throw a cage into the equation and you're asking for trouble. Would not want to be in the back of that in the event of an accident.

    Neighbours bad washing skills

    Old boy out the back of my last house used to wet his Saab with a sponge, and then appear to scrub it with a shammy applying far too much pressure. It looked MINT :dead:

    pedal 'shuddering' under heavy breaking?

    If the steering wheel wobbles under braking, it's warped discs. If it's the pedal massaging your foot, it's probably ABS ring.

    My new car!

    Cat-C ? Do not want. Insurance 9am-9pm !? So you'll be declaring it SORN every night I presume ? Anyway, enjoy being pulled. /grumpyoldperson

    How do i remove this bolt!? Pic inside :)

    It's for a seatbelt - life saving device - therefore it will have had to be fixed at a pretty high torque. The right torx bit, on the end of a ratchet will see you right !
