I have Newsbin and ABC, which both run as they should. My only problem is when either program is running and downloading my 'normal' internet doesn't work. All I get is 'Page Not Found' for almost every website I try to access. If I stop downloading and close the program then web pages are...

Had '172' cut out of the side of the front bumper with mesh in and I think a big Renault badge on the back. Just as you go into Preston from the M6 yesterday morning around 9-ish. You passed me halfway up the hill, I was in a white van pulling a quadbike on a trailer.

Spotted today as I was riding past, looked good, lowered, stickers in the rear windows.

Background story starts at 1. To skip the boring crap just read 2 for the question. 1. A lad in work bought his dynamique 3 years ago, over the last month Renault has had it for 2 weeks. He has the limp home mode on and Renault can't fix it. The first dealer (Southport 2000) told him he...

I haven't really been on here for a while so I have been trying to catch up by flicking through the sections and haven't spotted any new shape Clio's yet. I thought there'd be at least one person fitting bigger wheels to one and lowering one already.

I'm using ABC on XP and no matter what bittorrent I choose to download it downloads at full speed then shows up as 'waiting' after about an hour. I can press 'resume' and it carries on full speed for about another hour. It happens if I'm using the PC or not. I like to leave it running overnight...

Running XP on an old AMD K6 450mhz. I just replaced the motherboard and done a fresh install. At first I got the 'Now safe to turn off your PC' message so I switched on the Advanced Power Management which usually fixes the problem but now instead of turning off it resets itself and boots up...

I was thinking about killing it with a cricket bat, or a fall from a great height, but then decided to ask the experts if they could help speed the bugger up first. My PC is really dozy lately, OK its only an old 400mhz, and its running XP, but it used to be faster. It can take around 45...

Balls!!! My K750 got a bit of a drenching in my bikes tank bag on the way home. Now it radomly presses keys for me, then after a few minutes the screen crashes and I have to reset it. Is there hope for it, I was going to leave it overnight to dry out but is that enough?

My sister is swapping her insurance to my car tomorrow but as I'm in work all week I can't cancel my policy on the same car until the weekend - are there any problems with having 2 policies on 1 car?

I thought I'd seen a Clio in Media section a while ago like this and thought this might be him - spotted up in Pendle today. I wonder how he gets around without getting pulled for that plate.

Just seen the new DCi Clio advert and noticed that it was all colour coded. Is this a new option, or just standard on the DCi?

Bought car on the Selections finance (£200 deposit, 3 years payments, with 2.5k final payment or give car back). I am 2 years, 1 month into it and Im bored - dont really want to keep the car till next Dec. If I choose to give it back now will I be stung with a big give it back early bill?

Im really bored with my 1.2 and maybe looking to change it for a Mk1 172 within 6 months. Either that or something cheaper to run like a warm-hatch (VTR/GT C2 maybe). I realise insurance will probably double, and I will use a bit more fuel - but after that is there really that much...

In todays Daily Star there is a professor in Cardiff Uni who has been studying car horns for their aggrassion levels: 1. Mondeo (dual horn, strong and assertive 2. S2000 (penetrating and and aggressive:o) 3. CLK (dual horn, strong and insistent) 4. Clio (dual horn, very loud and rough) 5...

For anyone whos interested - UKTV People (Sky 566) is showing back-to-back episodes of Top Gear all day, with the 182 Review episode on at 2pm this afternoon (and again at midnight). My first post of 2005 - Happy New Year Cliosporters!!

There is always talk about the quickest Clios, but there aint no chance of my car being nominated - so for the other end of the scale - post up your slow cars specs (if only to make me feel better, my car is sh*t-slow but there must be other people feeling my misery when they try overtaking...

The speaker in the right door (52 plate) has been cutting off every now and again - I found that a quick angry punch gets it working again. I took out the speaker thinking it was a loose wire but everything seemed solid enough, has anyone any ideas what it could be? Cheers, Mike.

Its actually off my works van, but has the same dials and keys as my 2002 Clio. The spare ordinary key works great, the other key (with central locking button) wont start the engine - the imobiliser light flashes rapidly. Taking it to Renault for re-programming means waiting for a quiet time...

. . . and it only took me 1 year, 5 months, 24 days, 4 hours and 2 mins (roughly). It works out at around 6746 miles per year, it feels like I use the car a lot more than that. http://erc.qmuc.ac.uk/cliosport/gallery/full/1086461781__10000.jpg

The power light isnt lighting up green any more, it lights up red for about 3 seconds when I turn the head unit on. Its a Magnat Bull Power 2200. http://erc.qmuc.ac.uk/cliosport/gallery/full/1086451467__ampprob01.jpg Background Story (for anyone whos interested): When I turned the bass...

If my dad offers to wash my car whilst doing his, I dont trust him, Ill do it myself. In work - the lads have the powerwasher set up (to wash vans and stuff), "bring your car round and well give it a going over" - dont trust them, Ill do it myself the hard way with a bucket and sponge...

I gave my car a wash yesterday, waxed it today and the ungrateful bugger keeps giving me static shocks when I get out. Its started happening this morning, is it something Im wearing or doing differently than normal? BTW: I didnt post this message in exterior forum cos its broke.

. . . Can I fit a replacement filter (not IK), just a simple take old one out and drop in new one that will make my lawn-mower 1.2 8v engine sound a bit beefier, not arsed about power gains - just want a bit more of a growl.

Im going to have a go at colour coding my bump strips next week. Where is the little plaque with the paint-code on it, and what will the code look like (i.e. is it letters and numbers: CD352, or just a string of letters: UFDMFM). Cheers, Mike. BTW its a Metallic Black 52-plate Clio.

Daily Star today ran an article on Britains worst car dealers - aftersales service etc. Renault was placed 30th out of 34, better than only Fiat (31); Peugeot (32); Daewoo (33); and Alpha Romeo (34). This seems to match up with a lot of stories I have read on here, Im just glad my car hasnt...

My recent bus-dodging resulted in me kerbing my 3 month old tyre. Police pulled me, he gave me a form to get stamped by a tyre dealer to say my tyre is safe. Before some dodgy geezer in a tyre dealer tries to sell me tyres I dont need could you give me your opinions - is there any way to...

Just looking at IKs for 1.2 Clios. Whats the difference between 1.2 SPi and 1.2 MPi, and which is in my 1.2 8v 2002 Authentique?

http://erc.qmuc.ac.uk/cliosport/gallery/full/1080919867__3wheels.jpg Just out of interest, could I do that ^^ in a Mk2 1.2.

I work opposite a storage depot for Hills Motors (accident repair/breakers yard) in Burscough (near Liverpool). Today a smashed up Cup was brought in on a wagon, caved in side and front, most of the windows smashed - was a right mess. I dont suppose it was anyone on here, CX52 *** (I think).
