    Nice juicy nail in tyre - game over?

    Hi Sean, Unlucky mate - I recently had a big ol' screw go through my tire - some bright spark left a load of screws and nails outside my house after doing some work and let my tire down whilst I was driving. I went to my local kwik-fit and they said it would of been repairable for £25 - in my...

    Belt Whining at Idle

    Hi Guys, I've got quite a loud belt whine at idle (below about 1,000 RPM). I've had quite a hard time showing my local mechanic this as it only comes in when the car has been driven quite a distance or during hot weather. The problems seems to cure itself overnight and throughout the entire...

    Haha, sounds like you'll need to take a trip to the foleshill road. I'll have to look out for you! Although I'm sure I'll blend in to the 500,000 other black clios in Cov. Just look out for the one with the garish belt whining.

    Thanks Scarble, I was thinking of buying some make-up pads (wait for it) which are the perfect shape and size to stick between trim panels with sticky back plastic. That's a good point, I'll have to take a look at the mount and see if that doesn't help - if not that clutch job isn't going to...

    Yeah from the photos you can't see any of the swirls the last owner waxed into it - or the poker dot stone chips around the front. At the moment I have a few niggles with it at idle, it makes what sounds like a belt whining when warm occasionally which I'd think was the Aux belt (simple enough)...

    Thanks Mat, It's not quite as glossy looking in the flesh but it's not too bad overall. I don't want to over promise myself anything, you know how it is - I think for now I want to make the engine and gearbox watertight, get the paintwork mopped and wheels refurbed. Kill off all the rattling in...

    Hi Everyone! I've been lurking for a little while since I got my Clio but I've finally made the jump to get a membership! Can't wait to proudly wear my Clio Sport stickers! I currently drive a Clio 1.6 16v 03' around the Coventry area - lots of trips down the A46. This is the second car I've...

    Why is my MPG so low?

    That is surprisingly low, my 1.6 16v get an average of 40 combine run. I've even managed 43 mpg before too.

    The 'What MPG Do You Get?' Thread

    I've got an 03 1.6 just like yours - Best I've got on a tank is 46 but that was driving at the least revs possible, with a usual run - that's about 40ish miles a day 10 country - 10 city and 20 motorway I get 38 average per tank. I pretty much always Raz it around the country roads.
