Hey guys, I did a good 600 mile round trip at the weekend and as usual my little DCI 80 didn't miss a beat but 5 minutes from home i stopped to get some food and things started to go wrong. I'd noticed on the way back that although my dash lights were coming on the dials were not...

Hey guys. 2nd clutch in 2 weeks installed a few days ago as the first one was dud and started playing up after a few days. Now when i'm driving and go up to and past 3k when accelerating it makes a quite high pitched whine. I understand the clutch is going to take a few hundred miles to bed...

Hey guys, Had the clutch replaced yesterday on my DCI 80 as the release bearings were shot but after getting it back there's a real lack of poke. Never had a clutch done before so i'm unsure of what to expect but i understand that its going to take a few hundred miles to bed in which is no...

Hey guys, So im driving home from work the other day battery light and stop light starts flickering think its possibly just a bad connection and cars running fine but a few days later it wont start. Jumped it and it sprang into life as usual. The battery has to be over 3 years old and when...

Front offside tyre made a loud bang and went pop doing 20 today, which was an interesting experience! Could have been so much worse, Just shows the dangers of driving on near legal tyres or ones with slow punctures!

Peoples experiences using this?

So i have my late 03 DCI 80, she's got a full service history 115k on the clock and I've looked after her well. Nice pair of 182 alloys, sport rear bumper / grill and about to be dropped 40mm - She's a great everyday runaround that keeps me going until the 182 gets purchased to accompany her. I...

So I've just been clearing through the back of the car and found some Spanish A-level books (No idea where they came from) and a pre-historic printer.. Couple of quid also! Win! Anyone else found anything remotely interesting they were unaware of whilst having a clear out?

So i have a hologram grey clio (Paint code 603 i believe) I need to do the side strips and a few other little bits this colour i just want to buy a rattle can of the shelf of a shop / online at a good price (Im on a budget as per) Halford's (gotta love them) do a few that are other car...

I know there are a few posts up about this but I'm a Dci man and a relative beginner when it comes to car mechanics at least. Direct cold air feed from fog to my air-box on my Dci 80... Discuss (Apologies if I'm making a tit of myself asking this question)

Anyone know any good budget spray shops in or around Portsmouth? (I.e the cheapest half decent quality) Or does anyone dabble a little themselves? Cheers

So was driving around on a pair of standard 15" with budget tyres for the last year and a half, fitted some 182 cup wheels last night Michelins and WOW! More of a difference than I ever could have imagined! Feels so much more grounded now in general. Thinking of now dropping her 30mm or so...

Quick question (I know that there have been a few in here about the cup spoiler) But is there any difference between a standard say dynamique spoiler and a 182 spoiler (Non cup) Cheers

My Clio 1.4 has always idled low on the revs which wasn't really much of an issue i just thought it may be the throttle body but it was just a case of giving it a bit more throttle in the first place. Today driving home from work I've got the coil light on the engine management light a...

As above, Ive only been in Pompey a while, didnt know if anyone met up weekly?

Technically am i voiding my insurance with a new grill?? This may seem like a silly question but its not standard factory fit anymore is it.... And we all know how insurance providers love to get out of claims.

A loss of continual power when on high revs?

Hey guys, My air intake pipe for my clio DCI 80 is ripped and i want to replace it. What are my options? Just a nice piece of tubing and some clasps? Will this make a noticable difference to performance? Its always been torn and has a ductape jobby at the moment Cheers J

Hey guys, The Mrs just got a new clio, billabong and im wondering if its possible on thh glovebox strip to remove the billabong transfer. Its not just a vinyl and i dont want to use thinners encase it takes the paint from underneath it. Anyone ever removed it before? Cheers J

Hey guys, What kind of sound quality can i expect with a straight 3.5mm jack into the back of the aux input on a clio stereo where the cd changer can go. Im not fussed about OEM controls just that i can hook up. Cheers

Need to speak to the guy and see what the service history is like but what are peoples opinions on this? (For the wife)...

Wanted to thank all the guys who helped me regarding the previous post about opinion on buying a faulty DCI. Ive probably come to my senses and wont buy it so this is the second option...

Hi Guys, The long and short of it the Mrs car died the other day, ive got a clio and was having a look around. I can find my way around a car and was wondering how serious the issues look on this DCI? Any help would be really appreciated...

Ok, Im pretty new to the scene and dont know my way around an engine to well but i always try and do any work i can myself. Im thinking of a re-map for my DCI 80 (When the Mrs stops moaning) for the mean time i just want to get her running sweet. I hear that a clogged EGR valve can...
