i have 195 / 55 / 15s on mine, and i have 34 in front, 32 in back
34 in the front because the front of the car is heavier (with the engine obviously) :)
OH my GOOOODDD!!!!
i should have started this topic.
Dispite numorous "THIS IS A NON SMOKING CAR" people always spark up in it and drop f**king ash everywhere, and stick it out. Ive got scuff marks on the sill where people have kicked it getting in, and random rubbish all over from people...

its the metal in your cat/exhuast contracting again after expanding from the heat. most cars do it after they have been driven hard. Mine does it, sort of a "Tink" like someones tapping metal with a spoon :)
McDs is good :D its perfectly healthy to eat slight raw horse meat!
The thing that bugs me is, earlier that day in college, i was telling my tutor how excess weight on your key ring can bend or damage the barrel of your ignition.. then the key snapped in mine!!!! Sod is a right C**t..
ok i rang nicolas smiths.
they said its £230 for a new ignition barrel. £9 for a spare key. Problem is they dont have my key number on record, so they have to email france and see if they have it.
Its taking forever!
I havent tried yet it was dark when it happened so i couldnt see (no interior light)
I thought that if i could get it out then i could get a replacement made, but id still need a new key with the central locking fob?
Gah this is a pain in the ass...
spare - nope.
I thought about getting new ignition barrels and locking barrels, but wouldnt that mean that i would have to get a different key? if i got it from a breaker?
This is sounding expensive! :o
yeah, i can, like i said i can still start it, cos i can just turn it with the rest of the key, that has snapped off.. but i cant lock the car as it doesnt have a spare.. and the central locking remote doesnt work..
i live near clitheroe in lancs, kitchens is the nearest dealer to me. Im under the impression that Dealers are the only ones that can sort somthing like this?
I was just pulling up at macdonalds with my mates, and as i turned the engine off, the key snapped!!!!!
so now ive got the central locking fob (that doesnt work) on my desk, and half the key stuck in the ignition barrel. I can start it and everything, just cant lock it.. im uber pissed off...
top gear is better than 5th gear, but ill watch 5th gear when this clio episode is on..
any ideas when?
did anyone watch top gear on sunday? with that new vauxhall movaro VXR or somthing? what a foooken beast!!!
the oil temp gauge on mine runs about half way, never had a problem.
The gearstick jumps about when i accelerate, it does it in most front wheel drive cars, its somthing do with the gearing.
As for the accelerator, im not sure.
BTW i have a 1.4S clio mk1

What about coloured sidelight bulbs... They are illegal arent they.. my mate has some side repeater bulbs in his sidelights, which make them nice and orange (look good with the brows on) and he got stopped by the fuzz, they said "I think your filaments are going mate, get the sorted" and let him...
