Figured out if I blip the throttle before turning the engine off. the bizarre morning start up problem goes away, don't know why but it seems to be working so far. :S

Mines been doing this for a couple of weeks now, I took it to a Renaut specialists but they coudn't find anything wrong on diognostics, they checked battery earth, starter motor, crank sensor, engine fuses, relays, but they're all fine. I'm leaving it with them over night this week because it...

It was an alright pub tbh, it's certainly big enough to allow everyone to sit together, even if the meets get bigger & start to grow in popularity. If we could have the meets on the second Monday of each month then we'll miss Tuesday & Thursday quiz night, and we won't have to put up with...

That's some noise it makes, it'll do for me. :approve:

I'm looking forward to seeing it tbh, plus I might be able to persuade you to do the whole car that colour. :approve:

Took my bullets off and sprayed them Rover stone grey, only the rear diamond to go then all the badges will have been sprayed 'anthrasite'.

Do you have two of them? I need one in Iceburg Silver aswell, I was going to ring today but forgot it's a bank holiday.

Well if there's only 6 of us, at least we can all get £5quid dinners at 2 for £10. :D

What happens when it gets all scuffed up and you need a new one? Pot rivets aren't easy to remove iirc.

Hello Olivia, there's a fair few members in Warwickshie/West Mids, i'm in Coventry. Get yourself in the West Mids section and join up, you'll get regular messages about upcoming events and meets. There's a regular meet happening every month starting tomorrow, check the calender for the next...

I love these splitters, once I put mine on it looked like it should have always been there, now any 1*2 doesn't look right to me if it hasn't got one.

My 172 doesn't look as good as your rep, I wish mine was that colour. Hope you enjoy the Audi, everyone should own a nice VAG at least once, I still miss mine a bit, proper comfy on a long motorway journey.

It's bonded/glued on, you have to remove the whole section around the boot lock by scraping the glue off from the inside. I'm in the middle of spraying my badges & bullets, i've done the 'Clio' & the front diamond, but for the rear i'm buying a new one from renparts then replacing it...

I'm working until 6 that day in Stratford Upon Avon, but I should be there for about 7:30 hopefully sooner if the traffic's light. 1. Don 2. Mharvey 3. DaveDreads I'm up for food aswell.

Right Don i'm in, just had a word with the boss and he said it's fine to take the day off. I'm at work atm but i'll sort out payment this evening when i'm home.

Yeah you can just go at it without any, but I just found easier to screw them in if I had pilot holes to begin with, it just meant I didn't have to screw through the splitter first to get to the bumper. I did want to drill pilot holes in the bumper aswell, but I couldn't get the car high enough...

Neither did I, but it will sit flatter when screwing in if you do.

Cut the little raised tabs off the ends, drill or poke some pilot holes in the splitter for the self tappers, jack the car up, start in the middle with the first screw, then work your way to the edges, cut excess off with a stanley knife or razor blade. Done.

Same here.

I'll have a word at work and see if I can blag June the 9th off, i'd love to know what mines putting down because it's a right laugh to drive, plus it's my birthday so would be a nice treat for me. I'll let you know tomorrow Don.

Or give Renparts are ring, they usually have most things. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Renault-Clio-II-PH2-2001-2006-Front-Badge-Emblem-Diamond-Backing-plate-/270962631252?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&fits=Model%3AClio&hash=item3f16a1a254#ht_2446wt_1185 (01427) 873808

That's quite nice, do the head gaskets go on those like ever other Rover, or are they a bit more reliable?

I changed mine in about 20mins and I had no clue what I was doing, wiring a plug is harder tbh. ;)

A garage will just do a visual check, if there are no leaks then they'll assume they're fine. They'd have to remove them and check the compression and rebound to realise they're fecked.

They can still be knackered without them leaking, Does the back feel like it's bouncing around on rough roads? Does the back end step out even at slow speeds when you show it a corner? If the answer is yes to one or both of these, then it's the shocks....we've all been there mate.

Rear shocks need replacing, mine were fecked when I got my car and the rear was all over the shop, even in a straight line.

Hit a bump on the motorway and it's felt weird ever since, alignment knocked out + mismatched tyres = feeling weird imo. If you've lost a weight off one of the wheels, you'd feel juddering/vibration through the steering wheel.

Quoting yourself is the first sign of madness iirc.

Most definitely, different front and back is fine....side to side isn't.

That's what's wrong with it.
