Cheers, im off on quite a drive tomorrow so was just a bit worried. If it gets any worse i will just take it to a Renault and ask them to have a look over it. Its under warranty so should be ok.

Cant explain to well but my 1.2 is only a few months old with a few k on the clock and my dad waved me down as i was driving off today and said my car sounds odd, i opened the door and revved and it was making a hissy / raspy noise from the exhaust. He asked me if it was revving ok cause if it...

lol, i seem to get to about 60 or 70 then fill it up again. Yet to fill it up to 400, the b*****d always goes to 398. I do sometimes reset it and see what my average speed is on the way back. Sad b*****d that i am.

Is the computer on Clios, mine tells me i have 63 miles left out of my petrol but the needle is sitting on red. Just wondering if it is very accurate, i know it is all depending on how you drive the car but would u stick to the computer?

I aint after nothing fancy, there was a plain silver ripspeed one for £30 and the bloke said you take the plastic off, fit this one over the top and velcro it down, just wondering if its easy to take off.

Mine usually sits on about 34.5

That a no??

I know im allowed no mods but i really hate the handbrake on my Clio Dynamique, has anyone ever changed theres?? Just after a plain silver one from halfords or something. Can anyone give me a guide to how to change it?

I would be up for it, newbie and everything but sounds a laugh. Is it a members only thing?? I keep forgetting to print the membership form off.

This is the biggest longshot in the world and is more out of desperation than anything. My mates dads brand new Hyundai Coupe just got crashed into in a car park, he was there at the time and chased the bloke in a passer bys car who offered help. It was last seen on the A406 heading towards...

No im very skinny, just wear no belts or shoes. What about if i fill his boot with bricks without him knowing? Does flatshifting work then??

Of me keeping up with a mates 206cc. Its an automatic, but i presume its 16v as well. Would i ever be able to keep up with him? He has a bass box, could add a bit of weight. Or am i just dreaming?

Ideally i want: - Sidestrips - Spoiler - Back and front bumper - Handles

Sorry to keep boring you lads, but Im still interested in colourcoding. Im going to pm h3lter to see how much he was quoted but £200 seems a bit much to me. Is it easy to do yourself? Would anyone be able to give a bit of a guide or would anyone who has done it themselves around the London area...

Ive got to around 110 indicated, but that was with 4 people, but like people say. The speedos are usually out

Cheers h3lter. Much appreciated, if its that much i will have to wait a while anyway.

Cheers mate, what happened then?? How much did you pay for colourcoding?? I aint up to date on all the prices, i was expecting about £100 but ive been told its a lot more than that by a mate.

Im guessing most of you had the free insurance. I dont know if i can wait until November to colour code and tint my car so i was wondering if any of you had tried asking Renault insurance about doing mods? If yes what were the penalties and what did you get done? If no, did you do it anyway...

Not saying i dont believe you mate!! Just cant understand how a 1.2 can keep up with a Cup. Gives me some hope against some of the smaller cars, might start trying it with a few more 1.4 and 1.6.:)

Mine is 16v though, does that make a difference?

Not being funny mate but how?? What does it have over a cup?

Another question, mainly to 1.2 16v drivers. If you are booting it, what sort of revs do you let it go up to?? I dont hold it as much in first, but in the others i change at about 5500 - 6000, is that to high or low?

Sorry, footballing term. Biggest scalp as in biggest upset. :oops: Still dont make sense, mine was probably a 1.4 16v 307. But they are heavier and i think it was a diesel. Not sure what difference that would make.

Just wondering, 1.2 8 / 16v drivers. Who has had the biggest scalp in terms of larger engined cars?? Would be interesting to see as i dont know how much slower we are to a lot of the other cars on the road.

Yeah its sorted now, pulled over and turned it off and on. Scary at first, then just turned into a bit of a joke, i was in 1st gear at 1k doing 130. Most powerful 1.2 ever. Any other little secret codes i should know about?

Put petrol in my Clio, turned it on and accidentally touched the wiper stalk. All of a sudden my car goes f**king beserk. beeping, needles flying everywhere, suddenly i am doing 1k revs but doing 130mph with no traction control, doors open, no petrol, power steering gone, brakes f**ked, the...

Its me, im fed up of more powerful Clios taking all the glory away from my baby. Shes pretty to. And in 3 years i will have a sports Clio, i promise.

London, 53 Clio, bout 105 is what it read, dont know how truthful.

I know this is going to sound very silly, but im off on a motorway journey soon and need to check the pressure. Could anyone just give me a general idea of what to do? :oops:

Got a black Clio, got the passanger door keyed down to the metal about a month back. Cant afford a repair, got a good idea who it is. Bunch of pikeys who hang around and dont like me driving around.
