has anyone installed a TV/video etc. screen in their clio and do they have piccies of where you installed it ??? I have (as my title thingy suggests) a MK1 172 and all the curvey bits inside on the dash etc. make it difficult to imagine a square thing looking nice..... Just wondered where...

now for some time, ive had a really annoying squeeking / squealing noise coming from i think the front drivers side brake / wheel on my car which goes away if i brake slightly or , if i steer to the left or right (cant remember which) it also goes.... today however, i have gained a much more...

has anyone got or can anyone tell me a site that has the video of the 172 up against the subaru imprezza wrx round some track with the big arch at one point ? the scooby lets the clio pass after a bit.... the original site seems down at the mo but im sure there was another one......

Has anyone else had this ? Mine squeal constantly in the dry weather and i do mean constantly.... In the wet, it doesnt seem as noticeable.. and oh yes... the noise stops when i apply the brakes... ive tried slamming on the anchors a few times and ended up hurting my back and making no...

my offending passenger side engine mount has been given a thorough talking to and my annoying knocking noise thats been plaguing me for the last few months now seems banished again.....(third time its been fixed) i may invest in a new mounting though just to be on the safe side... i can now...

at the moment i seem to have a good range of worrying / annoying noises in my car coming from different places.... 1. The "knocking under acceleration" which im guessing is down to one of the engine mounts again.... ive had it sorted twice now but I think something else has come loose.... 2...
