Was browsing in my Renault Magazine I got through the other day, and I really, really like the look of the new Clio. Any idea on prices yet? Id probably look at either a 3-door 1.6 16V or the 106bhp Dci. I sold my late 2003 Clio Dynamique a while ago to purchase an M-reg Volvo T5, which...

I was looking to put in a factory amp in my car, but have since found out the car has been pre-wired for an aftermarket system, and the previous owner has left me eight nice Boston Acoustic speakers rather than the standard units. Ive had a hunt around my car, and have found two RCA sockets...

(This is a Volvo install, but you guys probably know more about car audio than the Volvo websites!) ... Ok, so I go to install my new T5-R amplifier behind the dash, and what do I find? Absolutely tonnes of aftermarket speaker wire (clear plastic tubing with visible copper twists - much...

How many miles should I expect to get out of the front & rear tyres on my 1.4 16V Dynamique? Ive covered 10,300 miles and still have loads left! Just wondering what other people have gotten out of their front/rear tyres! Sensible driving, no or virtually no wheelspin!! Cheers :)

Hi Does anybody fit winter tyres on their Clio for the, erm, winter? I do a lot of driving abroad in Switzerland, Austria, Italy & Southern Germany where conditions are rather snowy :D Im not intending to use the Clio over there this season, but will be from next season onwards. So whats...

For those with UKTV People, Top Gear is on at 4pm: Jeremy Clarkson reviews the Nissan Cube & Renault Clio 182 while James May looks at the Jaguar XJS. Channel 566

Just having a look at Parkers and they managed to achieve 109mpg @ a constant 56mph in the Clio 1.5 DCi ! Pretty impressive stuff! What do DCi users get day-to-day / motorway?

What do you reckon Id get trade-in for my Clio? Its a late 2003 model Dynamique 1.4 16V in metallic black, with the optional cool pack (Climate control & electric sunroof). Has done 10k miles and is spotless. List price was £10,600 Any ideas?

Hiya, Renault reckon an oil change every 18k is enough, but Im not so sure. From what ive heard on the net, most cars will benefit with more regular oil changes. On our T5s we change the oil ever 3k. My car has done just under 7k now, and am taking it to the south of france next week for...

Do the early Mk2 (2001) Clio 172s come with either traction control or cruise control as standard?? Cheers, D.

Hi! Im currently trying to decide what to do with the car situation next year. So far I have four options:- Keep my current 2003 Dynamique 1.4 Sell the 1.4 and get a 2001/2002 Mk2 172 Sell the 1.4 and get a 2002 Laguna-II Dynamique 2.0 Sell the 1.4 and get a 1996 Volvo 850 T5/R (225 or...

Im thinking of selling my Clio after the summer, how much is it worth? Its a 2003 (November, 53 reg) 1.4 16V Dynamique 3 door, metalic black. It has all the usual Dynamique specs, plus the "Cool Pack" which includes Climate controlled air con and an electric sunroof. Will have about 8k...

Hi guys, Ok... basic explaination needed really. Im really into home audio / AV installs, but have always been happy with the standard radio/cd player system in my cars. Its not quite to do with the Clio, but I figure its generic to any car... so here goes! I want to install a decent ICE...

(Yes I know this probably ought to go in the Interior forum, but Ive tried there already and no worthwhile responses so far...) I would like to add Sat Nav to my Clio. I dont want to go silly and spend £2k on an install, but have around £650 to spend on it. (Please no useless comments about...

Ok, Im going to get a Sat Nav system for my car, I do have use for it and its not there just to be a toy (before I get told its a waste of money and to get a map!) I dont wanna spend more than about £600, so Im looking at either a basic in dash one, or a PDA install. Im probably going to go...

Ok. You have £1,000 to spend on your Clio. What do you do to it? (Can be one biggish thing or lots of small things).

Ok, Im thinking of putting some 16" 172 alloys on my Dynamique 1.4 and think itd look better if lowered a bit. I dont wanna lower it too much, whats the minimum amount I can lower it by (20mm?) and what springs do I need for this & how much will it cost me?

Well, lots of French registered Clios have a 1.9 engine, which I believe is the DCi engine as fitted in the Megané etc? What are the figures for this model? I see the 1.5 DCi now comes with a 100bhp option, alongside the 65 and 80 versions. I would imagine the torque figure would be...

Ok, whats the real top speed for my 1.4 Dynamique? Ive had 122mph on the speedo going down through France just outside Paris towards Clermont. This was on a very well surfaced, smooth road on the flat with no wind whatsoever. I thought this was pretty good, what you think?

.. Not mine, but I saw a black Mk3 1.2 (I think) Billabong parked on Brighton seafront today, 5 large scratches to bonnet in a star shape, a massive deep scratch on EVERY door panel including roof, bumpers and tailgate. Fnucking Cnuts!

Iain mate, If I remember correctly, you had the Dynamique with the 16" 172 Wheels on it, yes? Im thinking of doing the same thing, do you need spacers or anything or will the 16" wheels with 195/45/16s go straight on? Also, do you have any pics of your Dynamique with the 172 wheels on...

I really like Xenon lights, but at £800 thought they were a bit expensive for an optional extra on the Dynamique. With all this talk of Xenons, how easy would it be to retrofit a set of Clio Xenon headlighs such as those on eBay to a non Xenoned Clio? Is it a straight swap jobbie? Or does...

I noticed yesterday that a neighbours 02 Dynamique has a door lock on the drivers side. I dont have one on my 53 Dynamique... hmm, the lady next door to me has one on her 03 Extreme too... Why dont I have one? How am I expected to get into the car if my blip thing fails? Clio1400

Ok, which would you go for? Im looking a decent tyre at an affordable price:- Toyo Proxes T1-S, £39.70 Hankook Ventus, £45.90 Conti SportContact, £56.80 Goodyear Eagle F1, £67.10 Pirelli P-Zero, £57.60 Prices are per corner unfitted but includin VAT & delivery and theyre to go...

I have no clue when it comes to ICE, as Im sure youll realise.. Currently I have the single slot CD player that came with my Dynamique. Its not a bad system, but I wouldnt mind a bit more bass. Im into Home Cinema, and I know from that how much difference a Sub makes to the low end. Is there...

When I purchased my Clio in October I had no intention of doing any mods (no matter how small) to it at all, but now Id like to fit some 16" 172 wheels, maybe a light tint on the windows and put a private plate on it. Now, before I do this I want to make sure that I keep the Clio for...

Ok, what is the general opinion of private plates? I can get C11 OXX (where XX is my initials), so on a plate would read C11O XX, lookin vaguely like Clio XX. Price is £399 inc VAT & Transfer from the DVLA. Would it look good? Be a waste of money? Clio1400

I want to change the wheels on my Dynamique as although I love the style, they need to be a little bit bigger. Will the similar 16" wheels fitted to the newer 172s fit on my car? Also.. 1) Where can I get them from (apart from Renault - £???) 2) How much are they likely to cost with...

Ok, this is one for the under 21 year olds with a 172! How much do you pay, who are you with and what excess do you have? Im looking for quotes on a 172, but as I wont be looking to buy one until at least October I dont really wish to spend ages ringing around, i want to get a quote on the...

Was having a think today, whilst bored at work... Currently I have a 53-reg Dynamique 1.4 with climate, I love it - its lived up to my expectations and more. However, when my renewal comes round (late 2004) I have two options. 1) Keep my Clio. 2) Sell the Clio and get an older phase 1 (?)...
