I went down this road because i thought its a short cut... big mistake, the road was literally an ice rink! As i got further down the road there was a ka who had obviously 360d into a wall and done a lot of damage.. at first i thought it was just a very badly parked car!

Good thing about these small modern engines, great fuel economy! My 1.2 16v always puts in around 47mpg, no matter how hard i drive it! On the motorway i can see diesel-esque figures, though thats driving at like a constant 70, which is very hard to do when youre in a hurry!

when i book mine in for the first service im going to take a picture with my phone of the digital mileage, and then if theyve caned it for 50 odd miles im going to complain and show them the picture of the mileage just after i dropped it off.

ok thanks for clearing that up!

Hold on, im well confused now, i thought the first service was at 12k or something for brand new 16vs?

So do you guys recon if I take it straight to Renault theyll tell me that the warranty wont pay for it?

Hmm anyone know how much a new 15" Dynamique alloy is?

Was coming back from my mates house last night, what happens? 2 Bambi like creatures jump out right in front of me whilst im doing about 50mph , i break, swerve etc but clip the kerb rather harshly at about 25-30mph ish with my front left wheel. The Alloy looks pretty messed up, the thin outer...

Your clio is 6 weeks old... how many miles has it done? Its probably not proparly loosened up yet - give it more time!

Do you recon I should have them replace the gearbox then?

I presume you mean with your Cups gearbox rich, not your missus! :P What happened about it?

haha :)

My gearbox on my 1.2 16v seems to whine a little in 1st gear when im doing high speeds (for 1st gear), with the clutch down and then when i raise the clutch back up, it makes a nasty whine. I dont know if its just the noise the gearbox makes when its being stressed in 1st gear, or whether its...

However I drive, I always seem to get about 45mpg from my 1.2 16v. When I do long motorway trips it goes up to the high 50s.

This airbags not going off is obviously a generic clio problem, my mates 1.2 16v didnt go off either and it was a serious crash!

Sounds like this knob at work, hes like 30 something and works part time as a mechanic. He knows f**k all about cars and recons his clio rsi is the nuts. He thinks that getting it chipped will add 20bhp. He knows nothing about anything, he tried explaining to me about how the chip controls the...

Come on, this is a clio forum, of course everyone here is going to say get a clio 16v instead of a 106 gti. Ask on the peugeot forums and theyll say 106 gti. They are great cars, both the clio 16v and 106 gti. It just depends which one you prefer, both handle well and are quick hatchbacks...

I say they are definitely worth it. Theyre great cars, Evo magazine love them, when they tested the Mitzi evo, TVR T350C, Vauxhall VX220 Turbo and the Clio V6, although not the fastest in a straight line or round the track, they all got 5 stars out of 5 but the clio was deemed to be the best in...

Yeh I know their full name is "Eagle F1 GSD3s" but theyre commonly refered to as just "Eagle F1s"

I thought Eagle F1s were supposed to be the dogs? No one has mentioned them!

Just had a quick look at the cooling fluid bottle, and the level is getting suspiciously close to the minimum level, but my 1.2 16v has only done 4k miles.. very odd. Dont think the water temperature goes above normal (1/2 way up the gauge), is this normal and should I just top it up or do I...

Cheers for the advice Dazz but i want to do it myself. I hate taking cars to garages, not because of the money side, I can afford it, I just like doing things myself. I very rarely take cars to garages, only when it involves something way out of my league or taking the engine out etc.

Hey everybody, correct me if im wrong (no.. please do) but I cant seem to find a DIY guide for changing the oil on the 1.2 16v, ive searched all the forums etc, but cant find any. Was just wondering what I need exactly, mine has done 4k miles and I want to change it myself without letting...

at the bottom it says Information diffused here are not official: they are assumptions and the summary of rumours;)

£15k? That kinda money is second hand supra money!

Hmmm i dont think its that.. its a different type of noise. Its very hard to hear so i dont know EXACTYLY when it does it, but its definitely there, all the times ive heard ive been driving on normal roads at normal speeds.

Hey, both me and my mates have noticed an electronic like squeak coming from somewhere in the interior.. its really pissing me off because its audible but its not quite loud enough to pin-point where its coming from... anyone else have this? Its a high pitched beep but its very very faint.. Oh...

One of my tw*tty friends has smudged chewing gum over one of my back seats - tw*t! Was just wondering if anyone can offer any advice.. the patch is quite big.. the actual chewing gum has come off but its left a thin layer of white sh*t. :(

Couldnt get the time off work - GRRR :( Last year was down for all 3 days though and was quality
