Checked whilst driving home and it only does it whilst accelerating. If its doing it and I take my foot off the accelerator then the knocking stops.

Hi all, Over the last couple of weeks my car has started making a knocking noise when I'm turning a corner. It only does it when the steering wheel is slightly turned, say just under a quarter of a turn. Any more than that and it stops or when returning to straight line it stops. It does...

Anyone any idea? Ta, Graeme

The garage have been on the phone with the following quote... Recovery of the vehicle Replacement wishbone, bottom ball joint, tyre and bumper. Fitting of all of the above Spraying of the bumper, and re-spraying of the front wing Parts, labour and VAT £485 all in. Does that sound...

Garage have been out and jacked the car up, taken the wheel off and had a look. The wishbone is bent back where its been hit, and the bottom ball joint has sheered off. Also damage to the wheel, tyre, bumper and wing which I knew about cos I can see em. They've gone away to price up the...

All, Is there any difference between a front bumper that Renault want £175 for, and the ones on eBay for around £50? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=4615924640 Cheers, Graeme

I really wasn't speeding. Its always slippery, its next to the bottle banks and is a sharp 90 degree bend. I'm not sure if spillage from the bottle banks is carried onto the bend but I've slid there before, just never badly. My cousin works in the Tesco, I'm the 3rd driver this week its...

Hi all, Whilst coming out of Tesco this morning, there's a sharp right turn in the car park and as I turned the wheel the car slid forward and smacked the kerb and went up into the hedge. The bumper and wheel are damged, and the wheel also now moves forwards and backwards if I try and move...

Don't seem to have the reflective windscreen. TomTom 700 is mounted in the right hand corner next to the steering wheel and picks up a shed load of satellites within seconds. Made up with the 700.

All, I'm expecting delivery of my TomTom Go 700 in the next couple of days but have read posts about signal strength with heat reflective windscreens. I've searched the forum and read all the posts but there doesn't seem to be any pattern to which Clio's do and dont have the windscreen...

Can't see those on the GSF site, any idea where I can pick these up from?

Just tried this on my Mk2 Ph1 1.4s The rev counter, speedo, petrol and temp gauges all do a pretty dance, and the display shows 8888 but none of the dash lights did anything.

JPEX-CLIO - How much do you want for them and are they in good condition? mitchzxr - Thanks mate - much appreciated :)

All four running the 175/60. I got the spare changed recently cos it was flat and he's put a 175/65 on that wheel. The car does have the alloys which are the same as on this car... http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=4596249783 (Just searched on eBay to find a car with...

All, Is it possible to convert the rear lights on a Mk2 Ph1 Clio to those on a Mk2 Ph2?

All, I need new rear tyres on my Clio. Called into a couple of places today and was told the tyre size was perculiar and they didn't have any in stock and said I'd probably struggle to get a decent budget tyre. Its a 2000 Clio 1.4s and the tyres are 175/60/R14. Don't have the cash for...

Thanks for the replies all. The reason I needed it in the front was the rear seatbelt behind the driver wouldn't extend, couldn't move it to the other side as her sister's car seat is there! The seatbelt which comes down from the ceiling for the middle wouldn't fit so was looking to disable...

Hi all, How to I disable the passenger side airbag on my 2000 Renault Clio 1.4? Need to put a child seat in the front. Cheers, Graeme

Is that in reference to Nationwide?? Don't know what their reputation is like, just got a quote as there is one near to where I live and it was the first place that popped into my head. I'm sure I could get this done cheaply anywhere but want to go to somewhere that is good with the Clio...

Rang Renault and gave them the car reg etc and asked for an exact quote for a major service and cambelt change, also rang Nationwide Autocentres and asked them the same - got the following quotes... Renault - £611 Nationwide Autocentres - £354

I borrowed a Sony NVX-P1 from a friend a few weeks back and was very impressed, although searching around to get one myself it doesn't seem as packed with features as others in the same price range are.

Cheers will do that. Anybody know of any others?

Hi all, My car is only a couple of months off its 72k mile service. I mentioned it to Renault recently when picking up a new bulb, and was qouted £280 for the service and a further £200 for a cambelt change. I'm assuming I can get a major service and cambelt change for less than £480...

All, I want to replace the bulbs in my car to something a bit brighter than the standard bulbs. I was looking on eBay and have seen several upgrade packs which only seem to cost about £20 for a set, but I'm seeing posts on here from people quoting hundreds of pounds to convert. Am I missing...

Cheers all, I did get a 12 month warranty with the car when I got it in July, under the brakes it says I'm covered for the following... Whilst it sounds easy enough to sort, my skill is computers and not cars - so if this can be done under the warranty I'd like it to be. Likely to be...

Hi all, Brakes on my 2000 1.4s Clio squeak when braking, and there is also squeaking when the car is turning right. I'm pretty sure the squeaking when turning to the right is coming from the front passenger side, but can't be 100% sure. Any suggestions on what the cause is?

Daft question - any particular bulb I need for the brake light on my 2000 Clio?

Its the 1.4 not 1.2

Any ideas anyone?

Hi all, Ive got the 2000 W Clio Sport - can anybody confirm whether I should have the MPG Computer fitted? According to the manual it is, and I do have the button on the end of the wiper stick but when pressed it doesnt do anything. The display on the dash stays on my total mileage with trip...
