The clio mk1 was made from rust. Renault already knew rust was lighter than carbon fibre.

I once saw a clio

 

[W17GLE]

My old clio entered the motorway backwards and hit the central reservation. No other cars where involved. The only injuries occured when the driver seat airbag went off and cracked my rib. The clio is sadly no longer with me.

There is a good reason for having these, if your key has ever broken (if not don't worry it will (especially if its a infa red key)) using your key in the drivers door for 2 months or more will destroy the lock barrell, then when you have to use the passenger door to get in after a short period this will die too, then you will have to have an aftermarket alarm fitted that opens the doors because fixing it is not financially viable.

I bet only very few knew that.

 

[Keano]

^^?

There is no drivers door lock barrel, the cars were originally made for/in France (left hand drive) and they couldn't be arsed swapping it over.

@Above - using your key in the drivers door won't have much of a positive effect.

 

[Rob]

@Above: There is on the 1.2 mk2 ph1's the interiors of the locks seem to be made of chocolate.

Your vehicle comprises of 87% Recyclable parts and already contains parts which are made from recycled materials

And also 95% Of the plastic parts in your vehicle are marked by a symbol to tell you what type of plastic it is manufactured from

the clio cups have lighter glass in them but when replaced alot of glass techies dont know this and put normal glass in. they also have a different gear box as they have no abs which is what the speedo works off on a normal 1*2. alot of mechanics dont know this and put the wrong box in the sit there scratching their heads as to why the speedo has stopped working. all mk2 clios have the same rear axel but its the stub axels that are different.

Owning a Clio removes your ability to spell.
Especially Reno / Renault, breaks/ brakes etc

 

[Grigaaa182]

I have the coolest clio, IN THE WORLD!!

 

[gouldy1985]

Iv owned 8 cars, 2 have been 172's

The 2 most unreliable cars Iv owned (that's including a mgf and a mgtf) are both clio's

 

[wozza182]

My 182 Cup has F**KING awful seats. Not weird or strange, just FACT.

 

[skiptontweed]

That fit bird from the clio ad's years ago did a p**n flick

[skiptontweed]

I have owned four clios and my dad owned a total of 5 renault 11's

 

[stephen chadwick]

[Rob.]

Renault made a Mk1 Clio 1.8 RSI automatic from 1994 to 1998 and only 100 came to the UK, It included a passenger air bag, Air con.

My v6 was the most reliable car i've ever had. odd.

 

[SnapMonkey]

My old 182 (now my brothers...) alarm likes to go off whenever its feels like it.

Usually, the 5p piece pushing down the bonnet alarm switch has moved, and needs reseating. After that, its happy again.
