Hi Folks, Not technically a Clio question, but it's pretty close... Recently had a crash in the wet weather an my car has been declared a total loss. However, the silver lining is that I'm now free to look at something a bit more fun. Since being a kid I've always fancied a Clio Williams but...

Nice one! Thank you muchly!

Hi Folks, I have a 2005 1.2 16v Expression 2dr (leccy windows, no ac -the model just before the Mk3 arrived) and sadly some utter twunt stoved in my drivers door- not leaving details or anything. :mad: Genuinely anoyed as the car was in perfect condition previously - polished religiously...

Awesome, thanks guys! I shall not worry about it now. Had a mate look it over who work for euro car parts and he said the same. Mother's bf also echoed that so I shall just have the arb bushes replaced this time around.

I haven't touched the suspension since I bought the car, and I can't think that it's worked it's way loose... If anyone can shed some light on this it would be great.

Just investigating my wooly handling and found this. (the fag is there to emphasize the gap) I'm right in thinking that this is really not right is it? New mount time? Cheers. Dave

Thanks for the advice. I can't find any to fit in his shop so I've emailed him (in my best school boy french) to see if he does them for the 1.2 16v. Does anyone have any experience of these kits? Dave

Hi all, After 80k the time has come to replace my shocks, so I'm looking to upgrade to a set of coilovers. I've heard that 1.2 16v's have a different fitment to all the other clios (23mm hub spacing?) - just wondering if anyone knew of a set that would fit nicely? I'm looking to spend as...

Hi All. I've been driving my 2005 1.2 16v for 5 years now (owned from new) and I feel it's time to trade up to a 172 / 182 / trophy if I'm lucky. I haven't even tried to sell the car just yet but I'm gearing up to do things this month. I could do with some help re pricing really as I have...

Hi all, I'm having issues with the Clio at the moment, I have a 2005 1.2 16v. From time to time - when I come to drive the car the passenger side rear brake sticks on when it's been parked up. Normally this happens only in wet weather - leading me to think that there was some water...

Disconnect the battery for about 30 mins... that used to work in my smart- hopefully it should work with the clio. We used to have to spark the live terminal to 'shock' our ECU's into releasing.

Ooooh! a free ecotect valve... wouldn't have one at that price lol. Just a quick question- feel free to call me stupid if you feel like it... is the acoustic valve exclusive to 182's and the sportier versions? Or is it on every clio?

Any luck on fitting that pipe then?

Hi guys, The time has come around to service my 2005 1.2 16v and rather than replace the standard items like for like at main dealer money, I'd rather replace them with quality items which wouldn't void the warentee (or at least would be hard to detect or easy -less than 2 hours- to remove)...

I was thinking of doing a 126 with a smart engine coversion. The idea never really took off but thats spurred me on!

Fair point- but would you drive an enzo or a zonda on the twisties? We all know that they are good for straights but pretty poor for corners in comparison to say perhaps an caterham or an evo? I haven't driven a veyron. There is a pretty simple reason for it though- I'd rather a house than a...

Oh yes... it so so does... Sounds a bit like a bag of spanners at idle but 1'000 rpm and it sounds properly nice. To be honest i'd rather have a chunk or snarling fire spitting yank tankery sitting on my driveway than a million pound VW. Besides the point... when i drive down the street i...

Sorry to pee on the chips but have a gander at this... http://www.pistonheads.com/doc.asp?c=47&i=14850 That is a Wieneck Cobra. 12.9 ltr 1100bhp & 1299lbft of torque and only 1000kg. So massively faster than both! 124mph in 4.9 seconds and 0-187mph in 10 seconds. and theoretically a lot...

Headlights yes... Rear lights no... Personaly i don't like lexus style rear lights in any flavour.

Hi guys, I'm in a spot of bother at the moment- the clutch on my 1.2 16v needs replacing ASAP- Have sourced a new clutch, but am having problems finding someone to fit it for me. Problem being that I am astudent and money is tighter than a ducks bum at the mo. Renault quoted £1000 all in-...

Hi guys- My car is now in an auction on the bay. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=012&sspagename=STRK%3AMESE%3AIT&viewitem=&item=220058383418&rd=1&rd=1 Feel free to make me an offer. Dave

Thats a tasty peice of kit, i'd love to have that parked on my driveway! I'm especially loving the tinted rear window and the DUB stickers on the back... tasty! Oh and the adherance to the cruiser code of morals -get the biggest front bumper for your 1.1 shitbox, and who cares about anything...

Hi guys, what with things getting painful now i've put my baby on the 'bay. Feel free to take a look and make me an offer if you want to! I'd rather sell her to someone who loves clio's rather than a chav who'll probably cover it in glue and drive it through halfords...

Re: Ill kill the little tw*t! £2 a week is not a deterant, and neither is a course in motor mechanics... Really... its a s**t situation no question. Getting pissed off about it makes no difference though, you can either get pissed off and go out on a limb and beat up the kid (around 25...

Re: Ill kill the little tw*t! Well even as a part of a Youth working team i find that very hard to chew! My Personal opinion... £2 a f'ing week. What a joke. What i find harder to grasp is the fact that this theiving little scrote (not that i say that in proffessional terms mind!), has...

Righto- chasing the rattles in my car.. part 2. I want to strip the door back now, I want to take everything out of the door- has anyone got any exploded diagram for the door components (e.g window winder, that crappy honeycomb plastic window guide etc) ? Cheers Fubar!

Absolutly perfect. Thanks so much dude.

Any clues at all? I'll be having a go at it this afternoon.

Hi guys- the passenger side window mech in my car has always had a rattle to it, so before i sell her i want to sort the rattles etc. So what do i need to do to take the passenger door card off (its a 3 door)? Is it sealed on with RTV? Does it need torx or any other special tools? Also the...

Trapped a nerve- it hurts to press the clutch. As pansy as it sounds its the truth!
