Well whatever you say mate but i thought it was on late 16v and williams.

Methyl blue is the paint trade name for the colour (used to work at paint shop) , its the common dark blue pearl they used on the late 16v and williams Dont know the dealership colour name, someone will though....

Anybody got any idea what my dad will get for his 03 reg Clio 172 sport, Its only just done 10k and obviosly hasnt even had its first service yet, hes had it from new and its immaculate. I have no pics but just think what a methyl blue 172 looks like as it leaves the showroom and youll be about...

Some guy came in to my shop today (autopaint, leicester) and ordered some special effect paint for his car. He was very fussy about it and so i asked him what he was painting. He said " Dimma Clio with a Cosworth engine!". Told him to bring it down when its done so ill try and get some...

Cheers all, Gonna get it sorted coz its pizzing me off.

before anyone says- i mean "can you get"

Can you can an adapter lead so the stork controls for the stereo are not useless. I heard you can. The stereo is a Kenwood Mask (about 2 year old)

is it easy to get at?

My cooling fan dont seem to be kicking in so can anyone answer me the following little posers. Where is the fan switch? where should the fan kick in on the temp gauge? Could it be anything else, I darent use it in case i cook the engine in traffic! By the way, Ive checked the fuse!

Use a Tack Rag from a automotive paint shop - £3.25 a box in our shop. Ideal for getting dust off your interior plastic and the white powder you get on the outside after polishing. works dead well.

Waiting for mine, paid full price as well coz lost my members card! Small internal one as well. Someone was on about making silver and gold ones on here, did they ever come about.

I agree, Clios appeal to a lot of age groups. We have 3 at home, My 16v, my sister has a 1.4RT and my folks have a 03 reg 172.

If its using a lot of oil, it could be: Worn piston rings (Blue smoke everywhere) Worn VALVE STEM SEALS ( whats valve steam oil sills? no such bloody thing) Oil leak.

The only thing is, its done that flickering since ive had it but its only just started runnig crap....

not many engines are gonna fit the original box?

Alternator? I noticed the lights flicker a bit on it when its ticking over, Also get a click through the stereo when the radios on? But i didnt think this could affect the running of the engine as such... Where is this ISCV, is it on the throttle body? Excuse my ignorance but im not a petrol...

cheers guys. came on all of a sudden at the weekend. it has a decat but up to now has ran really well and smooth tickover. only done 73k....

I dont know whats wrong with my car, All of a sudden its tick over has gone slower than usual and sometimes when i pull up to a junction or something, it cuts out. The only possible cause can be that i steam cleaned the engine last week, but its been ok for a week after this. Has any one had a...

It was a good one, I was there, didnt race. Who had the green RT with 16v bonnet and the white one with big wheels. I videoed the lot today including the drag bike that did 2 runs at over 174mph!! Also seen 2 172s (one blue, one silver) and a cup.

Is any one on here going pod this weekend. I know i am!!! Good weather for it!!

I personally would buy the engine for £500. Put it on ebay with a reserve of £500 and buyer collects, that way you cant lose out, your likely to get more than £500 for it, then spend your profits on tuning your 16v engine or a williams engine...... Nick

Has anyone got any pics or anything of 16vs with different wheels so I can compare what looks best for my 449 blue 16v. Im sure everyone has different tastes so should be interesting.....

I paid 2200 for mine. 68K. Leather. Full History. I Think you should get about 2K ish for it. But as you well know, things are only worth what someone will pay....

Has anybody had there turbine 16v wheels polished. I want to have it done soon.

950 - smooth as silk without the induction kit on now.

I think my 16v handles quite crap really. Do you think there could be a problem with it, ive never driven anyone elses so cant compare....

Go on then girls - i really think you could make some money out of this one Jas! Ill have one....Ill hang it in my car

Probably the same pikeys who you had trouble with before Feel for you mate, car must be jinxed
