    is it possible? Mk2 05 clio 1.2 I've been stupid enough to lock my keys inside the bonnet.. (Very stupid I know) and now I've got no way of getting into the car to latch the bonnet open. I've cut a section out of the grille to give myself a bit more space but can't seem to hook the mechanism...

    Car struggles to get going some times..

    so basically some times while pulling away from junctions, lights etc.. the car will begin to pull away, but when it gets to about 3k revs then it stops pulling and feels as if i haven't got it in gear? if i change up it does the same, revs like mad without actually moving, usually have to put...

    So I know I just need to Jack it up and remove the 4 bolts, but what about the wire?

    Possible inaccurate speedo

    Coming back from college down the m40 and managed to hit 110 with 3 passengers and 10kg+ of luggage. Bearing in mind it's a 1.2 does this seem right? Wasn't downhill so wouldn't be the momentum, but this was at about 5k, could probably push it to 115 if I hadn't of s**t myself

    The 10000th Lowering Springs Question..

    So I know its been asked 1000 times before, but just want to double check before I order anything! Basically I've got 1 mk2ph2 1.2 Clio on the standard 15s.
