Had the car 2 years, looked like this till last weekend:
2 years and a brand new engine later, it looks like this: (iPhone pics, so piss poor)
Few bits and bobs still to do, skirts to be bonded on, exhaust to be fitted and satnav/tv/dvd to be fitted!
Gaz.
So here's what I drive, a Black 53 plate 1.4 Dynamique. It's my first car, had her three months now and she's completely standard.
I have a few little idea's running round in my head of what I'd like to do.
Lowered around 30-40mm, white Turini's, colour coded plastics, Silvervisions, pressed...
Ho got a few problems at the minute just wondering if someone has any ideas , cars a 1.4 starts fine when cold but when its been run it cranks for a while before it starts and when it does start it kind of struggles into life just wanting some ideas thanks
Hi just wondering if anyone has had a 1.4 16v remapped if so did it make a difference i know everyone says theres no point but i can get it done cheap thats the only reason im asking
Hi just wondering if anyone could shine some light on this as its been the same for months and i cant work out why , basically when the engines cold or first started it starts no problem but as soon as its been run for abit and you go to restart it again it takes a while to start and then chugs...
Hi all. Hope you don't mind me posting about the lesser Clios! :)
I currently have a Xsara VTS (167bhp) but am looking at part ex'ing at against a Clio for my girlfriend to learn to drive in - once she passes, she gets the Clio and I get to buy a new (silly) car. In the mean time though, I'll...
Hi everyone
Bought myself a tidy 2000 plate Clio Mk2 1.4 last month, feel ashamed it's nothing close to a Sport but you've got to start somewhere I suppose. I'm hoping to do subtle mods, non of the oversized alloys and 4 inch exhaust stuff which you normally see, even though it's currently sat...
Ripspeed-esque ST rep. Insane mileage. Incomplete service history. Wrong wheels if we're being picky. Thoroughly confusing asking price. No, it's not actually a Mk5 conversion as claimed (though lol @ the last thread I made r.e. mk 5 astra :o )

So ive recently brought my clio 1.4 RT Mk 2 phase 1 earlier this year, the chap i brought it off had already put 17's on it and exhaust system(not sure exactly what it is though), everything else was standard. This is my first car so wasnt planning on getting carried away but since i found out...

I was just thinking before if there is a way to change the 1.2 clio extreme to a 1.4 as a conversion or do you have to put a 1.4 engine swap. After the swap could you just put a turbo on the 1.4 or is there another process that would have to be done first?
sorry i don't know much about engines:S
HI
Wondered if any one could help me get rid of this, I have carried out the service, but want to get rid of the message. It is keyless ignition and have tried numerous ways with the odometer switches to no avail. Will an OBD2 code reader allow me to switch it off?
ANy information, much...
So I've owned the car since I was 18 and to be honest abit apprehensive about putting it on here because I've seen so many top cars and rubbish ones that have been slated.
I'm still a student so moneys been an issue. Started simple with my wheels being painted black. And tinted the rear lights...
Well being 18 having a driving licence, but no car i decided to go down the mk1 clio retro route!! (so glad i did). with it being fairly cheap to insure....Still over £2000!!!!!
i bought this little cheeky little number for £300 not bad tbh seen astho it only needed new brakes etc...
Came...
Hi all, just recently bought a clio 16v 1.4 expression on a 04 plate, now it has done 74,000 miles and without any SH i am wanting to get the Timing Belt and waterpump done, what price should i be looking at, had a quote or around 260 for full kit and waterpump and labour.
Also the car is very...
Hi guys,
Apologies if my descriptions are a bit vague, but its difficult to describe a sound over the internet!
Anyhow, I've been aware that the front passenger wheel bearing is a bit worn (or possibly the CV), as it the wheel has a very light 'grind' to it when its turned when its jacked...
Just a quick little Story board of how my 1.4 evolved. I purchased from some lad in walsall, who had frankly shown her no love what so ever!!
Front bumper was smashed on the offside, front left coil broken, tracking miles out, 4 completely different tires, bad pads,smashed offside wing mirror...
This is how my 1.4 looks now after a 60mm Gmax lowering spring set, Calibre DUB Alloys, pressed plates, aero wipers and some colour coding, still to do is repair the scratches on the left of the bumper where I scraped a wall, remove the dent in front of the rear left wheel, fit a new air...
My clio has been running a bit rough when first starting it since I've had it (about 3 or 4 months), usually from cold. It's usually quite jerky and it tries to stall itself when lifting off the clutch unless done carefully.
Today I started it up and pretty much instantly the rev counter just...
Hiya chaps,
Few problems with my clio recently, firstly if for example i travel for 20 minutes and stop off at a shop, when i start the car again it usually takes a good 3 or 4 seconds of turning over before it will start.
It also doesn't idle particularly well, especially when the engine is...
Currently selling my 197 for something more economical due to change of work place.
What sort of real MPG figures are the MK2 PH2 1.4's getting?
Been offered one very cheap so may be worth it.
