bought the car recently, giving her some tlc and gradually making her better went to replace the rear springs after i was informed one was fractured/collapsed, (no wonder it was a little twitchy in the bends.) these were the two springs i took out of the car... bodge.

Yes, spoke to him. He told me hed let me go away and think about it. Found this chap who has the same problem, car sounds like this: http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?618460-Clio-172-Loud-Banging-Noise&highlight=loud+knocking http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JubVYh4xZ6s&feature=youtu.be

Conversation i had with him was "I could just say its not my problem, but i can give you warranty for £100, which will cover £750 a claim, but you would have to wait 2 weeks after you bought it before you made a claim" I stated i don't think £750 will fit the bill as RAC guy said its a top...

basically i needed the wheels asap as the ones that were on had no spigot rings so wabbled. Renparts sorted me out with the best ones they had, one tyre was bald, other had a screw in it. Cheers, me too.. was looking forward to Cliosport Saturday again, this time in an actual sport! and i was...

he was selling a warranty for an extra £140, wished id took it out Wasn't a garage, was a trader who specialised in honda and audis, sold from his own house. Reason being its my own fault for not seeing these problems, and the car still did work so was fit for purpose essentially and the fact...

172 cup hasn't been great really, and im after people's advice of what i should do, especially traders... I understand when you buy a car if you overlook certain bits its your own fault really, which is why I have had it a month and spent money on it but now i am just f**ked and I have only...

Got a 1.2 16v 2001 with a throttle body problem. :mad: Bought one off this guy on ebay which was advertised as working on 2001-2008, was the cheapest to auction at £40. Now iv taken the old one out it doesn't match up, quoted the codes to cliospares and it comes up with a 04-06 model.:mad...

did they even make non 16v dynamiques?? not sure how a 1.2s wired then.......lol i took mine off from the plug, let us kno how it goes anyway, may jus be a dodgy lead! :)

id say it was the coilpack. With the car switched on, one by one unplug the pencil coils. if the car doesnt struggle when one is pulled out, youl know its faulty.

Cheers, cant believe i was even contemplating it :headno:

his eyes look sad... and i can get him delivered to my door for £1,450.....is this too much? purely cosmetic Sill covers damaged, bonnet, bumper, door, crossmember. Airbags dint go off. I got cost to fix it around £400, if the parts were all the correct colour (optimistic) Anyone know any...

took car to garage for MOT couple of days ago asked the bloke there and it turns out sideways dannys right its reads off the ABS. SO if your 1.2 16v speedo isn't working and you DON'T have an ABS light then its your dial itself thats kaputt

Wondering if i could get some help, im trying to locate the speedo sensor on my 2001 1.2 16v dynamique? already mistook it for the TDC sensor. Car does have ABS, would it be there?

Re: Dent Man/Autoglass @ CSS im interested, is there gonna be a waiting list or first come first served?

hope you find the bell. just so you know i know a guy who knows a guy......

Ahhh i see... my bad haha cheers guys!
