My 1st mk 3

[suckmykiss]

After 3x 182s a cup, a trophy and a 255 v6 I picked up my 1st mk3 Clio yesterday.. Unfortunately it's also my first non RS Clio!

£30 a year tax though ftw

78k miles, keyless go, climate, upgraded stereo, panoramic sunroof etc. all for £2800.. Needs belts doing though.
its also been mapped to 106bhp I believe.

Any common faults to look out for with these?? Also common mods?
how do I unplug the maf??

Best ask on the dci forum

Belts should of been changed last year?
Bit over due.

It's 6 years or 96k on these so only a bit.. Hence why it was so cheap..

Not much info about mk 3s on the Clio dci forum

Nice it's a hard move from rs to that, you can let me know how it goes. You'll miss the GW though I bet. Not the fuel/tax/insurance bill

I would leave it standard personally.

Ok maybe mods wasn't the right word. I'd like to freshen it up. A service along with the new belts, plus maybe some new suspension components.. What bushes etc need replacing on these??

why would you want to unplug the MAF?
