This problem has been around for years I know, but surely there must be a 'solution' to the sticky finish on the RS Clio plastics, I know it can be stripped off with some trouble or even replaced, but I am looking for something that would take away the sticky 'feel' without removing or...

Hi Guys, Happy Easter Thinking of getting my Clio out of retirement, been about 4 years since last use. Looks like the rear tyres will need replacing, Mich. PS3, but badly cracked around the side walls near the tread which seems a problem with these as I have done less than a 1000 miles on...

Hi Guys As title suggests, I am having thoughts on an outdoor Carcoon for the Clio. The tailored cover I have used for the last 9 years is just about to give up, looked at a few Carcoon videos and maybe this is the way to go as I haven't used the Clio for the last three years, and not sure...

Was interested to see a Renaultsport Spyder at Mathewsons auctions - "Bangers and Cash" TV prg, most probably a rerun. Never seen one of these before and wondered if it was based on the V6 Clio or what? and if anyone on here has one. It went for 25K at the auction and pretty rare car in UK...

The car has been covered up a few weeks, just took cover off to charge the battery as I do every three or four weeks and found this damage:- it must of happened in the last few weeks but don't know when, it was not noticed until the car cover came off today. It looks like side impact right at...

Hi guys Clio 182, central locking stopped working, the car has been laid up for two years, has been charged and started regular during that period and the C/L has always worked. Today, was polish day, but found the C/L has stopped working, It does not respond to the key fob, tried the spare...

Well, got the covers off the Clio today after another winter, had a quick look around and see now that the rear pair of PS3's have cracking on the sidewalls all around the circumference. (205/17/45 83V) These tyres have been on the car for 6 years though, but only about 2,000 miles over that...

Seen this at a local meet earlier in the week. When I was MUCH younger I used to own one! Well actually it was only a Renault Alpine Airfix kit, but loved it. Couldn't take my eyes off it.

Someone sent me this link, apologies if you guys have seen this or similar before, made me smile but was wondering if it is for real? :cool:

Bought this off a market for next-to-nothing, new, and wanted a cheap bodywork protector, but not sure what it is would be used for as the shape is strange to me, has the light magnetic padded lining like a wing protector has and decent quality. Thanks

Maybe this is common.... I now see a slight discrepancy between the indicated 'speedo' speed and the Cruise Control setting, only about 2 MPH -example. set to 30 MPH on cruise control, and car will attain/show 32 MPH on speedo, this seems to have happened over the last year or so, previously...

Well the time has nearly come to make this old car splendid again. At a distance this looks quite OK but after 125k the exterior is showing its age, this car is nearly fifteen years old and now not worth a lot but this one has sentimental value only so not bothered in worth! I want it...

This Sunday 2 July http://www.midlandscarshows.co.uk/ Waiting to see what weather is like but may take escort RS2K, look us up if do.

When UV faded to pink, anyone know if there any magic compounds or methods to restore these back to red or is replacement or paint the only cure? Tried a few things but nothing seems to improve these, so looks like not possible?

Around 9.00am, sensible driver though -not on here? lol I have seen this car before a couple of times.

Thursday Morning, mot?

Hey guys, what's the best alternative to standard OEM cup pack springs, I have had three OEM front spring failures over five years and have done only a few thousand miles, -and that's with careful driving too. Considering the expense of Renault items, I'm a bit miffed to say the least, I want...

Anyone got the Renault part number for the rear exhaust hangers (182) (I know there are cheaper options but will probably use the OEM this time) Thanks

Hi guys I have seen posts asking for an original looking insert for the 182, and I also know that the smooth silver insert and gear knob from Renault is really expensive (£70?) and insert and knob are only available together, but here's an inexpensive alternative (£7). I bought two of these a...

Probably last drive out and about this year and a couple of leafy pics before being tucked away for Winter.

Pulled out behind me on 'rabbit run' near Ludstone about 8AM, you (eventually) caught up my shopping trolley by Royal Oak then turned for Wolverhampton. Car looked very purposeful though, first blue one seen around.

Polish out today and both cars got a good going over, Will be taking the RS2000 to the Himley show on Sunday, if anyone is going look me up. Still not sot sure which is the shiniest. It's took me three years to get the Ford into shape. These two live together permanently. I love 'em both.

As you probably know, there'll be no more discs issued after the end of the month, so the disc holder will be redundant, pity the tax will continue though You may want to consider and comment on what to replace it with!? I've already got a few ideas but what about you?

Followed blue 182 ..54 ZFK towards Dudley on the Himley Road, looked standard, I was following in the shopping trolley.

Noticed on a short journey today that the climate/heater fan started to constantly change speed, never noticed it do this before, but mostly got the music up too loud. Didn't do it all the time though - seemed to be working normal at first, but when it does, it oscillates rapidly through...

On the school run, Gornal nr. Sedgley, West Midlands Possibly red but hard to tell!

Is there something missing from the near side of the fuel rail, looks like a hose attachment and also a forward facing housing of some sort?

Hi Guys Not sure if my tailgate lifting struts need replacing? When I lift the tailgate to chest height on level ground - there is no effort from the struts in pushing up the tailgate further - is this normal? When the tailgate is manually lifted to head height - there is a small effort from...

Hi I picked up a fabric case of G3 car care products, got it for next to nothing but is this stuff rated? Includes vehicle wash, bird poop remover, glass cleaner, alloy cleaner, fabric cleaner. Cheers

I'm talking about the button that is used to fold down the rear seats, adjacent to the head-rests. I'm sure this must of happened to others - the seat-belt clip that is incorporated with the button has broken, as anyone successfully replaced the button or escutcheon, how is it attached to the...
