Hi, My H reg Mk1 Phase 1 (1.2 E type engine) is now on 102K and 16 years old and it is due for another cambelt change. I want to do this myself as it is a good learning experience and plan to do it over Christmas (that can be the cars Christmas present :-) so I have plenty of time if it goes...

I always clean my windscreen and windows inside and out, as with the lower sun, any crud shows up more and makes driving harder. /Mad

Hi, my Mk1 Ph 1 Clio is troubling me. The nearside side light, nearside tail light and both licence plate lights are all kaput. The bulbs & fuses are fine, there are just no volts getting to any of them. I had a quick look at the Haynes wiring diagrams and after a lie down with a...

bout £50 front grill was broken so replaced it with mesh (£57 quid for a new one from Reno, I don't think) and the rest spent on paint doing trim changes. Have 3 children so money goes on that /Mad

Yeah, name and shame. /Mad

All depends on which Mk you have. The Mk1 Ph1 def has glue and pins and they are stuck on to the boot strip, not the actual boot. /Mad

I have just fixed the same problem on my car. Symptom: intermittent starting either hot or cold. I was getting a clicking sound but I later found that this was not the solenoid as it was too quiet. The solenoid on my car (Mk1 Phase 1) makes quite a considerable clunk as it shoots the gears...

Ah, working now after the famous Windows reboot. Fubar. I am interested in the procedure for installing to DVD. Would you be able to knock up some instructions? thanks for your help, /Mad

Thanks for your replies guys. As I say, I used to have it working fine, but now it sticks at: java.lang.NoClassDeffFoundError: quicktime/QTSession So we know its quicktime related....! but java and classes are not my area of expertise so Im a little stuck.

Hi, I am having problems running my copy of Dialogys on XP. It used to run fine on Win 2K, but since upgrading it wont start. Does anyone know which version runs ok with XP as I am lost without it. thanks, /Mad

My partner has done the same to me Clio. If it gets any worse it will be pointing straight up :-( /Mad

I think I have a spare plip lying about that you could have. Had to butcher it as my key wouldnt fit the plip my central locking came with, so took a hacksaw to the pcb board and cut it down in size so that it fitted the other plip and all works fine. Let me have a dig about and see if I...

Here is a scan of the Haynes manual showing the central locking wiring schematic. I colour coded it a while ago for my own benefit, not all the wire colours are the same on the car, Renault seem to swap them about a bit. http://img100.exs.cx/img100/5764/wiringdiag7xj.pngLink to schematic...

heh, they were busy, were cutting keys for the house and I dropped the wifes boots off to have new zips put in. But, yes, pretty tardy all the same :-) /Mad

Just buy a LED holder and the right resistor and you can fit any LED, remember that LEDs are very directional so you wont get very good lighting in the boot. I added two LEDs to the boot which come on automatically when the boot is opened, and also kept the orignal white light (with new...

Practically any key cutters can do you a spare key. I got mine done in the local shoe repair shop. Took half an hour. Works fine. /Mad

Changing the bulbs is easy, just prise off the switch with a scewdriver, pull the blown bulb out and replace. Thats after spending half an hour trying to fish the wires out of the dash after they slip inside :-) Re the switches, you would have to replace the orange filter with a different...

Yes, rear seat footwell. /Mad

Its not too difficult. I removed the: Center console Driver’s footrest Lower right door trim Driver’s carpet Top half of dash Front pillar trim Upper right door trim Sun visor Peeled back some of the headlining Then it was just a case of removing all the old loom and feeding it...

Try the rear lights. If they are not seated correctly a lot of water can get in. I couldnt believe the size of the puddle I had from mine. Reseated and its fine. /Mad

The door cards have a sealant that goes round the edge. It is like a combination of superglue and bluetack. Took me over a week to remove it and the hairs from my arms. Now I wear a long sleeve top when taking panels off. /Mad

Looks great, Manga can go on any car. Soo much better than aircraft wing sized spoilers or baz exhausts. /Mad

Report him. He is already banned for drink driving, and now dives like an idiot and skids into your mates car. He doesnt care about your mate (or other drivers) otherwise he would: a) Not drink & drive b) Not drive without insurance So why should your mate care about him? Who is it...

719 is Carmen Red Dont know the Renault codes though

As James said, it is either the control dial or the resistor in the heater blower. Check with a multimeter that all the contacts in the dial are working (see image) The extra wires are where I added in blue LEDs and are not normal. http://img29.exs.cx/img29/7586/heater.jpg If these are...

Yes, thats what I did. And if not, then they dont deserve to have your cash. /Mad
