My MK1 N reg clio has died a death, well the head gasket has gone on it and I have another car at the moment. What would be the best way of getting rid of it? Can't sell parts off as its parked on street but it has MOT and Tax up in Feb. Whats the scrap value on these type of things or is it...

My girlfriend noticed when following me on friday night that both my brake lights were out. They were working the day before this though, so I'm presuming it isn't a bulb issue. Both my rearlights work fine, but the brakes aren't coming on. I've checked the fuse and this is ok. Any other...

After a front pipe from the cat to manifold, any suggestions for the cheapest way of doing this? Cheapest quote from a garage all-in so far was 82.25, however I've looked quickly online and noticed the parts sell for about 30. is it best to buy the part and then phone round asking about fitting...

Think the cat on my MK1 has gone, apart from being fucked off as it's yet another problem for me ahead of the MOT in 2 weeks, any advice on costs/breakers I can get them from? Mines an N reg plate, these things come pricey do they?

I had a new clutch fitted on Thursday and left the garage and the biting point was low and it took a bit of time to get used to it since I'd been driving my car with a high bite point ever since I had it. Anyway all was fine until yesterday when I went for a drive and noticed that the biting...

Just washed the car and noticed a crack in the windscreen. Must have happened earlier when one of those lawnmowers at the side flicked a stone up, b******s. Anyway, what will be the cost for replacement and do i get any discount being with the RAC and that Auto Windscreens company? Ta.

Just thought I'd post a recent piccy, suggestions?

I've got an Immobliser on my MK1 Clio, not sure if it's original or an aftermarket fit. Either way, the last few weeks it's began to play up. I've put pictures below of the setup: Basically some times when I come to drive, the key won't de-activate the immboliser. Sometimes it can be as...

Put my alloys on tonight. s**t picture but I'll get some more up when I give it a good clean and once over soon :)

Right, I'm totally bemused. I got the jack up yesterday ready to change my alloys and when it came to trying to undo the wheel nuts, they won't budge what so ever. I've tried with all my force with the wheelbrace and nothing, not even on the back tyres which haven't been replaced recently and...

Just had my new alloys and low and behold already dropped one and there's a few slight marks. I could do with getting rid of these before my Dad notices and shoots me :p What can I use to do this? Cheers

Has anyone fitted one of these to there cars: http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/0381822/Trail/C%24cip%3D49998.DIY%2C%2Bgarden%2Band%2Bcar%3EC%24cip%3D50011.Car%2Bequipment%3EC%24cip%3D50014.Car%2Baccessories.htm Considering getting one because it's cheap and cheerful, I don't...

Gonna be ordering some of these tomorrow: http://www.motor-world.co.uk/show_prod.php?prod_id=8610 Now the tyre guide tells you that you need 195/45's on low profile for any clio up until 98, but I was told on here that 195/50's would be fine which is what that price includes. So will i be...

My insurance is up for renewal on the 20th and I've been shopping around after deciding to get my own insurance. So far Quinn have come back with £1027.68 and I've been passed since May 2006, have a MK1 Clio 1.2 and name driving experience. Is this probably the best quote I'll get? And what is...

Does this ramp up the costs significantly? And would a sub/amp package too...

I'm getting some alloys for my 18th and currently looking to get these: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=004&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&viewitem=&item=140078735269&rd=1&rd=1 Has anyone got any pics of 195/45/15 alloys on standard suspension on a MK1 clio? Also does anyone...

Last fortnight or so, I lifted my front seat (three door model) and noticed a puddle of water on the carpet. After inspecting the roof, I could find no obvious places where it had been leaking. After soaking up the water, it returned after some rain, but I still couldn't work out how. Anyway...

I've brought some 6x9's and fitted them in the parcel shelf in the back of my MK1 Clio and I've routed the wire as best as possible. However, I'm not sure how to fit the wires into the stereo itself. I've took some photos to show what the wires and the back of the stereo look like: This is the...

It's a good few weeks since I asked the opinion of you guys on what side repeaters to fit, and after around 3 weeks, they arrived after 'postal' strikes down Devon. Still for £8.99, I'm not complaining. Anyway, here is an image as it was before: And now (ok I know it needs a wash but I'm lazy!):

Well my car passed the MOT today which I was chuffed with, so now onto the next repair job. The fan doesn't cut in say when stuck in traffic and I had one nasty overheating incident when in a long jam. Whereever I travel now, if I'm stuck for 15 minutes or more in slow traffic, I get close to...

I'm looking at getting some clear or smoked side repeaters for my Clio MK1. Would the following fit the model? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=007&item=170021697573&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&rd=1 They look similar but I can't work out if they are the correct type. Cheers

Below are some photos of my 1.2 Clio Versailles, N Reg model. I originally learned to drive in a Ford Fiesta LX L Reg, back in February, and brought this around May time for £480 at the auctions. Excellent condition when received, although slighty high mileage, as you'll see. No major problems...
