    Clio Mk3 Brake Bleed Help!

    How long were you trying to bleed it for? And how long was the caliper off the car and did you try and block off the brake line when the old caliper was off? Gunson eesibleed from Halfords would be a good start. leave that to do its thing and you should be getting brake fluid coming out.

    Alternate Jacking Points

    Jack up the rear beam, have the jack in the middle of the rear beam. Get two axle stands to put on the rear jacking points. Lower the jack on the rear beam so the rear of the car sits on the axle stands. Now use the jack, still on the rear beam to take the slack on the rear beam. loosen the...

    Brake caliper paint

    If it's a daily and won't be used for track then Halfords enamel spray paint is great. It gives a nice powdercoated gloss look, it's great as dust and dirt cleans off it easily. Make sure you wirewheel the crap off the caliper first and get it nice and clean before painting.

    Clio 172 cup refresh

    How do you get the wheel bolts off, they look kind of big and would be hard to get a socket around.

    Pistonheads Private Area - AG 200 Cup

    Its a lovely car and doubt you would lose any money buying it. Here are the 2 previous for sale adverts for this car: 2017 https://cliosport.net/threads/sold-alien-green-200-cup-recaros-akrapovic-etc-%C2%A36000.803434/ 2019...

    New, Fully Electric Renault 5

    Yeah that isnt Liquid yellow or Alien green which is a shame. Renault used to be great with decent paint colours. Anyone know what sort of performance these R5's have? I tried looking but couldnt find anything. I suspect this is just a Zoe with different body.

    Glaceol RX Type E LDR Blue coolant sent by mistake or genuinely the right stuff?

    I actually sent them that email above and they replied to say it's type d they are sending. b******s better let me return it for free.

    Glaceol RX Type E LDR Blue coolant sent by mistake or genuinely the right stuff?

    Looking closer - the Type E LDR only has a 3 year shelf life compared to 8 or 10 for type D. This is a piss take - the LDR is going straight back to Arnold Clark. This is LDR:

    Glaceol RX Type E LDR Blue coolant sent by mistake or genuinely the right stuff?

    Dont buy coolant from my Arnold Clark link in this thread, the b******s have sent me 2x Type E LDR coolant despite me asking them to double heck it was Type D they were sending.

    Glaceol RX Type E LDR Blue coolant sent by mistake or genuinely the right stuff?

    I'm the same, I just really like the type d so will get a couple of bottles to tide me over a decade. I'm sure there are other coolants that are just as good but it's easier just to use the same type d on all 3 of my clios, the colour is lush too.

    Very tempting to get one in Alien green but how much are these cars?

    Battery change now CD Multiplayer issues.

    Wow, you actually use the CD changer?? Personally i'd be getting a new headunit with bluetooth so you can stream your music.

    Glaceol RX Type E LDR Blue coolant sent by mistake or genuinely the right stuff?

    What colour was the coolant Marc ? Is it still yellow or has it changed to green now? Good to see the 2x5L I bought today is the same part number as your sheet.

    Pearl Black 172 PH1

    Also - were they a straight fit, without needing spigott rings like the usual oz ultras?

    Pearl Black 172 PH1

    Always great when you update your thread. Absolutely stunning car btw. Id never heard of a renault option for the Oz ultras either. Such a nice designed wheel and so light too. Bet they were expensive.

    Glaceol RX Type E LDR Blue coolant sent by mistake or genuinely the right stuff?

    Looks like renault are phasing out the Type D coolant which is a shame as I love the bright yellow colour. I managed to get 2x5L from here: https://www.arnoldclarkautoparts.com/products/genuine-renault-glaceol-rx-green-coolant-77-11-428-130 Im not 100% sure what I will receive is yellow type...

    Mum's 0.9 TCe - Battery drain, weird issues

    The renault stop start system is a bit confusing. These are the 2 messages: Stop start not available - could be lots of things, temperature outside, battery, are the fans in the car on etc.... Check Stop Start - this is 99% of the time down to not having the seatbelt on before turning the car...

    The New Phone Thread

    Got my black S24 Ultra yesterday along with the watch too. My previous phone was a galaxy S8 so was thinking it would be a big upgrade. Nothing on the S24U stands out as being much better but time will tell I guess. The S24 Ultra is absolutely massive, way too big to hold properly and when you...

    Clio mk4 Centre Air Vent

    Proably cant get the vent parts, will probably hve to buy a new surround. To get the surround off, its easy, grab to top right corner and pull and then do the same working your way around the surround. need to pull quite hard, dont worry it wont break.
