I thought the bubbling etc was crap off the last owners hands thats got stuck to the wheel, untill on closer inspection it seemed the leather was actually bubling off the rim and going sticky. I managed to clean most of it off (removing some of the top layer of leather) afterwards it was like...

Huh?? my missus half shares MY clio rsi. She does about 1k miles in it a month and in the last month she's scraped the mirror, driven up the arse of lorries peppering the front with chips and pushed the door up a kerb scraping the corner while getting it stuck for a moment. When I tell her to...

I took the car in today for a 72k service (non renault) and it was changed, just wanted to check it out. It seemed like a lot of money to spend when you cant see the work that has been done!

Hello, Where is the cam belt located on a 2001 16v 1.6 mk2 ph1? Is it visable for inspection without removing anything? I can see a belt attached to the alternator on the lh side of the bay and next to it (what I think is the water pump) has another larger belt attached, is this the...

Hello Daz What do you need the hi-res file for? I produce caricatures of cars using photoshop software to paint them, you can check out some of my work on www.turbographix.co.uk I havent done a clio as yet but it'll give you an idea of the quality. pm me if you are interested and I'll see if...

The way all clio's look great, even when left as standard. I had just polished it and was filling up my RSi Mk2ph1 with fuel, when I went to pay I looked over at it in the car park and though, yeah, thats a wicked looking car.:D The way it picks up. It's grip. The leather. Black...

I cant believe the twut drove off, well done for catching him up, I bet you were livid. The accident wasnt kinsella's fault so the insurance wont need to put it down on record, I just had my car written off (same as, not my fault) and they said nothing is affected, my sister also said the...

The other month an idiot ran into me. I was turning left into a carpark on a perfectly straight road and he hit me from behind, so admitted liability at the time and then got all s@@tty with me after I called my insurance and tried to blame it on me! I won the case in the end, my car was a...

Yeah the other guys are prob right I reckon, nothing more than cold and damp air esp. if it's been raining the night before. Every car I've ever owned has done this at one time, even my dads merc.

Cheers for the replies fellas, I'll prob go with the Halfords option as I dont punish the brakes as much as I used to these days (I must be getting old), seeing as the pads are also pretty cheap at £17 I'll just relace them at the same time if that's a proper job. Is it worth keeping the old...

I have got a squeek comming from the front brake under light braking, I took a look at the disks and they want replacing as they are worn. The pads look ok. Is it worth buying replacement Renault disks or is it worth spending a bit more, I've seen some Brembo 'Max' upgrade disks for £63.45...

Hi Could anyone let me know at what milage the cambelt needs changing on a 1.6 16v RSi (2001) Mk2 Ph1 and roughly what a Renault/backstreet garage price should be to have this done? Cheers Rich

There is a Halfords in Bath and they do some wheel + tyre deals, the choice is probably not great but they may be able to order what you want. It's a shame there isnt a Demon Tweeks in the area, I visit the DT store (in N wales) when I'm seeing my mates up there. Their choice of wheels is...

I know loads of people who do this and I advise you DONT. If you run into another car or worse another person your insurance company will run a mile leaving you to sort out the mess in court, this could potentially leave you picking up a tab for tens of £1000's.

lol snap! All my mates had crumby cars to start and mine was a golf which was older than me and I had to do MI5 style swerve manouvers just to avoid puddles, one drop of water in the electrics and everything went dead, kids dont know their born these days!!!:D

I'm from between Bath/Bristol. Thanx for the welcome btw. :approve:

I've just bought one with 4 'dints' lol must be a Renault thing! Didnt put me off the car though! I'll prob get dent devils out, they usually charge £15per smallish dent.

Hi every1, I've just purchaced my first clio, it's a RSi 1.6 16v in mettalic black with 1/2 leather. I'm picking her up on tuesday, I cant wait!!!!:D It's a 2001 model, (sorry if this sounds thick) but does this makes it a Mk2? its got the 'buggy out' headlamps not the angular ones. I know...
