Mine idles like a wh0re aswell. I'm only just working my way through the first few problems. This is about 200 on the list, but if an answers out there i'm all ears! It constantly feels like it wants to cut out between gear changes and at low rpm. It also seems to idle at about 3rpm, which is...

To maybe help anyone else experiencing starting problems just now, mine was almost starting then going silent. It jump started the other day and idled pretty lumpy - as it seemed to up until it eventually wouldn't start the other day. Changed the battery first today, and same deal - so i let the...

Get a headunit with RCA capabilities, get some components in the front with fresh wiring, and if you're feeling flush - amp them with a 2 channel for extra sound quality and loudness. Then stick another set of components in the rear, or go with a pair of ol' faithful 6x9's on the parcel shelf...

Dunno what you could do with these fella, but feel free to use em if they're of any use! Drop me a PM if so and i'll fire you over the full size badboys.

Spot the VTS...

Is the starting cranking then dying?

Oops! You do the top layer aswell? I tried a tiny area once and s**t a chicken lol

You could well be right there fella, it would explain the clinking sound i'm getting at the backend. I'd put it down to the crap lying on the spare wheel but it seems likely it could be related to this. I've been so busy recently i haven't had a chance to get it out to my mates garage for a look...

Someone told me it's a good idea to use a very fine grade of sandpaper to give each layer of lacquer a rub down once it's dried. Not the final one obviously. Might wanna wait til someone fully confirms that though if you're doing full panels, but that's how i do it on my own stuff. Only thing...

Thanks for all the replies guys! :) I'd say it's been lowered somehow already - maybe about 40mm? It's definately A LOT stiffer on the road than standard. I'm slightly dubious about how it's been lowered though! I had a quick look at the front N/S when inspecting the horn. The springs are...

Gonna keep that one under my hat for resale purposes! haha The guy wanted 1550 for it, and i took him to town. Mainly due to the fact when he brought it to meet me, it wouldn't start again lol

+1 for this question, since i got my car the battery has drained enough to refuse a full turn over twice and both times the coil light came on. This time it hasn't gone off within a few hours. New battery required but what's the relation?

Christ on a bike! I dunno how i never knew that given a previous profession!.. Although, in my defense, i just checked and they only launched as a company a few months - maybe a year before i jacked it all in so wouldn't have been very well known. Anyhoo, the bootlock and diamond are all black...

Sounding great to me! I'm keen to find out a bit more about detailing n all that jazz but i'd end up buying something that was a load of shite, and at the prices i've been looking at i wouldn't be too amused if i was left with the most expensive playdoh in Britain. The car is absolutely...

Does anyone even know what the hell 'FLI' means? Dunno if it was someone's initials or something. It appears to be a chopped up FCUK sticker. That's going, as is the ELF sticker probably. Yea the single wiper is a pain in the arse, it's so noisy! I wanted one 8 years ago so yea they're a bit...

Hey (again!) A per the title, is there anyone near or in Edin with a passion for detailing? My paintwork is really needing cleaned up a bit and the car is long over due a hefty clean, (along with repairs and a good service!). I'd love to spend some cash getting it looking good but i wouldn't...

Hey peeplies, Couple of quick pics of my new run about. I'm gonna be tidying it up a bit and making a few changes. After the weathers out the way i'm gonna refurb the wheels and anthracite them, RS grille and perhaps lower it a bit more. Also might put standard windscreen wipers back on if i...

Hey guys (and girls) I recently bought an 02 Dynamique, but due to the lovely weather recently i havn't really had a chance to give it a good going over - first impressions however are awful! It's an electrical nightmare to say the least. The problem i'm tackling now is the odd situation with...

+ 1 for this, french shite! Mine also has water coming in the randomly placed grommets on the boot drainage channels, which conviently trickles down over the earthing points on both sides. Genius! Might take some pics and start a sticky as this seems to be more common than Renault might like you...

Lower it a bit mate and ignore all the morons out to piss on your chips. Every forum is the same...

Thanks for the link, i spotted that a few days ago but i wasn't sure if i'd need that much of it. I'm possibly leaning more towards just finding a replacement non-lift up knob. I'm waiting on a haynes coming through the post so i'll check out the process first. Is it a ramp job i'm assuming?

Hey chaps I'm just getting to grips with the new momo, and one thing i've discovered (to my horror) when changing off the horrific and wrecked Saltire gearknob, is that some utter plank has actually cut down the gearstick to accomodate a non lift up knob, so when i put on my nice subtle...

Cheers! Yea i always meant to get along to one with the valver but my ownership was prematurely terminated by a c*ckend cab driver, which incidentally i'm only going to court over liability for in feb 2011... Crash date: Oct - 2007. Genius huh? My new car is just a run around really, looks ok...

Hey guys, firstly sorry mods if this is in the wrong section! I've just come back to the world of clios with an 02 plate, and it got me thinking about my old cars again. My first car was a berty basic 1.2 1996 that i gave the works and then sold to get a 1.8 16v, which a few months later was...
