I havent been on here for a while but after driving my Clio 1.216v billabong 100 miles a day for the last couple of months ive decided to trade it in for a new megane extreme 1.416v as I can no longer stand the bad backs im getting from it, the only thing im pissed about is after 7 months and...

Ive got £700 to spend and im after some 17" wheels (with Tyres) for my Mk3 Clio 1.2 16v. What wheels do you guys reckon would look best? Whats the widest wheels and tyres I can go for WITHOUT any rubbing whatsoever and how much should I lower it? I was thinking 35mm

I was talking to a guy at Weston wheels who has a 1.2 16v who Ktec was his sponsor and he said they are building a supercharger for his car!!! If they can manage it what sort of power do you all reckon it will add, and how much would it affect the durability of the engine? I didnt think it...

I seem to have managed to cure the problem with my sunroof! I noticed that where the handle clamps down there was a plastic sheath over the bar it clips on, it was breaking off on mine so I pulled it off, ever since the sunroof hasnt rattled once (fingers crossed). I was looking at a brand new...

Did anyone else go to Weston Wheels on Sunday I saw quite a few Clios there and gave me some good ideas for what I want to do to mine? I was parked behind a Clio with nice wheels on they were 18s the guys number plate was S44 ads is that anyone on here?

Renault have just replaced my Sunroof, again, which has not improved it in any way, in fact they succeeded in putting a hole in my headlining (which they are replacing) and causing other parts of the roof to rattle! I am really getting fed up now, the dealership have been really helpful but...

I know this has been asked before but what is a good price for having the side rubbing strips, grey bits on the bumpers and the door handles colour coded on my new Clio? Also can you buy any of these bits pre primed and ready for painting?

after driving to Southampton and back from Bristol on Friday (which is around 150 miles) the computer has told me the oil has gone down by 2 notches from being full. Is this something I should be worried about or is it normal?

I know ive posted another topic about my car stalling, but how rattly sounding should the 1.2 16v engine be? I swear mines sounds more tappety but as its covered 5800k is this normal or is it a sign with the stalling that all may not be well? When im going along and the car is just cruising...

My bloody Car has started stalling again, its a 1.2 16v and its started dying as soon as it starts up (from warm) now the ECU uodate a couple of months ago was supposed to have stopped this but clearly it hasnt! Its only started since its been really hot tho has anyone else experienced this...

Im 20 and Ive had my 1.2 16v Clio for 4 months but as ive just got a decent job I was thinking of trading it in for a cup or a 172, trouble is I cant get an online insurance quote to give me an idea of the cost. Ive been driving over 3 years now and I have 2 years no claims and have no...

After fixing my sunroof for the second time a week and a half ago its now back to making exactly the same creaking and clicking noises! I need advice now guys what can I do about this because its really starting to piss me off. As soon as I open it it starts rattling then when its closed it...

Has anyone else noticed that the door handles on their Clios (if the handles are black plastic) have gone mottled. My cars only 4months old and ive noticed this, its like the colour is coming out of them. Ive taken a picture of it but you cant see it very well, you can sort of see it if you...

Ive had my car just over 14 weeks and ive already covered 4400 miles in it, which works out at around 1250 miles a month. Is this a lot or about average?

I have a 1.216v Clio, its a 2003 model, im thinking either trading it in for a cup (if I get a good enough deal) but if I cant what are the best body mods to do and how much approx. I cant be arsed to touch the engine, I know its a long way off a cup but modifying the engine isnt worth it and I...

After Renault fixed it a month ago the sunroof is once again rattling and loose!!! Its p###ing me off now, why cant the Renault muppets sort the sunroof out first time round, its getting worse everytime I open it now. When its closed you can feel it moving if you put your hand on it and the top...

I noticed I have a small ding in the side of my 2month old Clio today. It looks like its where some w##ker has opened their door into it, you can only see it if you look down the side of the car in the light. Anyone know if its possible to get it out?

Since my ECU update my mpg has dropped to around 40. What do other 1.2 16v owners get, even on a run it only goes up to 42mpg which is nowhere near specified and I never rev my car above 4000 RPM!!! The car has done 3300 miles now if that makes any difference.

My mate is on about getting a ram air system for his Mondeo. Apparently this is better than an induction kit as it adds more power, and works in a different way, by forcing air into the engine. Has anyone else heard of this? How much are they? Where do you get them from?

Whats the best way of getting rid of polish that gets onto the grey trim. My cars new and Ive polished it a few times now but ive got polish on the trim and its really difficult to get off, and it looks a bit sh*te! I tried back to blacking it but that goes all over the paintwork and looks crap.

Ive only had my clio 2 months but im not too keen on the alloys that it came with. Its a 1.2 16v billabong, im wondering what wheels you guys think would look best, im thinking about putting 16s on. The car is Cyclone blue in colour if that makes any difference.

Im just wondering how much of the latest incarnation of the Clio is made of plastic? Which body panels etc?

If anyone is having problems with their 1.2 16v Clios stalling, and the engine hunting from cold Renault have now developed an ECU update disk that should rectify the problem. Mine is being done on Teusday and it takes about an hour apparently. I will update you and tell you if it sorts it...

My parents have curbed the alloys on their Corsa. Im wondering if anyone knows of a decent reasonably priced allloy wheel refurbisher? Im from Bristol

If anyone is experiencing a problem with their engines stalling or hunting when first started the problem is probably a software fault in the ECU. I took mine to the dealership today and the finally gave me a straight answer after I refused to take my car and keep their courtesy car!!! The...

Everytime anyone gets out of my Clio we get bad static shocks, and when sat inside you can run your finger along plastic panels and feel it crackling. Does anyone have any ideas how to stop this. I assume the car is earthed properly as its new.

Hi im a new member to this forum, ive only owned my clio for 5 weeks but already I think its an excellent car, apart from a few minor problems. Im a member of the renault sports club forum and I put a post on there as I have a problem with my car, its a brand new Clio billabong 1.2 16v and it...
