    OZ F1 silver paint

    I would like to paint my 16" OZ F1's as close as possible to the original OZ silver colour, mostly as I have one boxed new wheel. Everywhere I have looked says the exact paint code is unavailable. Has anyone tried a silver and found it matched the standard centre caps very well ? Will be...

    Air con problem, gas ok, clutch engages, any ideas ?

    My aircon is not blowing cold. Initially the compressor was not engaging. First I checked the pressure on the low side port, measured ok. Replaced the pressure sensor. Compressor now engages, and stays engaged. But no cold air. When I turn on the air con and the clutch engages with a clunk...

    M3 off road.

    From front page of Reddit, leaning into the corners clearly didn't help the car make it round !

    Front shock absorber boots.

    I replaced both the rear shocks after one of the rears failed. As the fronts are also 12 years old I thought I would treat it to a new pair up front. Just picked up my new shocks from Renault and they don't come with any sort of boot / cover on the shaft. The boots / dust covers on the old...

    In car DVR, can anyone recommend a good one.

    I want to buy a decent in car DVR. Must power on and record automatically with ignition, then stop and switch off with ignition. I bought a cheap one, but the video was poor, despite what the seller said and my best efforts at research, the output was interpolated up to 1080 and was crap (the...

    Saw a 172 bonnet flip today.

    I know its been talked about to death and most people are probably very well aware of it but I saw one first hand today so thought its got to be worth a post to remind people to always give there bonnet a good tug to check its shut. Driving along (down St Marys way in Stockport) the van in...

    Hooligan in a V6

    Jenson Button at Goodwood FOS in 2001 I haven't got a clue why this came to mind but I suddenly remembered watching this on TV a long time ago, YouTube never disappoints ! and my memory is a lot better than I thought. Search did bring up a couple of references to it but no vid that I could see.

    PH1 172 Flame Red....2nd time round.

    Nearly eleven years ago I bought a Ph1 flamer brand new (following on from 5 years in a valver) and joined Cliosport ! After five years I sold it on to a good mate, his turn to move on now and I just couldn't pass on the chance so I bought it back :-) The car is sound and well maintained but...

    Crashed 08 1.2 questions.

    Few q's for a mate. Does an 08 1.2 Clio have an engine cut out switch, if so where ? Is there some kind of safety deployment mechanism in the seat base ? Side seat bags not deployed but the bit where you sit has a big lump in it on both front seats Is there a safety mechanism that...

    130i 3 Door.

    Not the popular choice, people mostly seem to like R32 or S3 if going hatch, or E46 3 series for power at this money, but this is exactly what I wanted. I had to be patient to find the right car with the toys I wanted (Pro Nav, Electric leather, BT,USB, Bi Xenon). Perfect replacement after 4...

    Clio 197 in new Evo Magazine

    Latest evo magazine has pics and details of RHD production Clio 197 in Inferno. IMHO I think general concencus will say it, looks too high, production 17" wheels look a bit lost, the very grey looking diffuser sits uncomfortably with the colour coding of the whole car. Without the bling of the...

    Wheels I wont buy !

    Heres a pic of the wheels I cant bring myself to buy for fear of my ride & performance going out of the window. Its a 17" OZ SL rim on a stand up against the car. Oh dear my standard wheels look a bit puny. I know I could have photoshopped them on but wanted to see them in the flesh. They...

    Thank goodness for the warranty !

    Just got the car back after 4 days at the dealers (mostly waiting for parts). Story started about 2 months ago, noticed ticking noise from around the accessory belt. Dealer had a listen and said I had to wait for it to get worse before they could justify stripping it to investigate. Kept an...

    Jap imports, in reverse !

    Found this link while trawling the web. Noticed the Clio 2 phase 1 must have had a different name in some markets, Lutecia !? Perhaps Clio is a rude word in some contries (obviously not intended for Japan as its LHD and Renault dont sell there). Im sure the Clio owner from HK will tell me where...

    Cup rear wiper.

    Might have been done already ? but having seen a few UK Cups in the flesh I noticed they come with a rear wiper. In the original photos (probably French model) and blurb it didnt have one. Guess they decided it was just too extreme to ditch the rear wiper for the rather wet UK !
