    Vehicle theft - insurance issues

    This post isn't specifically Clio related but I thought I'd share it to see if anybody here has had any experience with stolen vehicles and associated insurance issues.. A vehicle was stolen during the early hours a couple of weeks back, we believe stolen to order (it's a MK2 Focus RS). The...

    Detailing services Midlands

    I am looking for somebody or indeed a business that can provide me with a one-day enhancement detail on my black 172. Preferably in the Leicestershire region however I would be willing to travel anywhere in the Midlands if required. Bodywork is solid all round and rather than waste hours doing...

    15mm spacer issue

    Took a quick look this afternoon and there seems to be fine clearance all round the front wheels. I looked at quite a few threads on here regarding the bracket behind the 'bubble' in the wheel lining and from what I can see there is no way the tyres could be scrubbing on that, the car doesn't...

    15mm spacer issue

    OK I will check that out later - out of interest which bracket and where can I locate it? I don't play around with wheels too much so any guidance would be handy. Cheers.

    15mm spacer issue

    Last night I fitted some brand new 15mm spacers all round on my 172 - It also appears to be lowered on Eibach springs. Took it out for a very short test drive and something at the front seems to be catching, I couldnt see a great deal as it was getting dark so will need to inspect further at...

    Ph1 172 - Suspicious?

    Spoke with seller again this morning Re: V5 - he's reluctant to tell me when he is expecting the docs back from the DVLA and I cant be bothered to sit on hold to those guys for half an hour only for them to tell me they cant give me any info! What seemed like a good little winter project looks...

    Ph1 172 - Suspicious?

    Having sold my 182 around 6 months ago due to the arrival of a company car I now have the itch to buy another Clio for weekend use. I've been scouting around for some Ph1's and have come across a slightly less than average example which I plan to get up to scratch over the winter months - the...

    21.7 MPG Something wrong?

    Re: 21.7 MPH Something wrong? Think you may need to reset it, I dont check mine much but when I do it seems pretty accurate. It seems to range from 18-38, dependant on the driving!

    172 Sounds Like a Diesel

    I am also in the Hinckley area, I took my 182 to 519automotive for the belts change, bit of a drive but well worth it, very good level of service and I would recommend.

    182 Sucking Noise *solution*

    Car still picks up at 4500-5000 rpm exactly as it would normally, It's just an annoying hiss. When it was patched up it went and sounded great, now the noise isnt as loud as it was previously but is definately coming back. Going to take another trip back to the exhaust centre for another look...

    182 Sucking Noise *solution*

    OK, today I finally managed to rid my '04 182 FF of that annoying hissing/sucking noise that appeared to come from the passenger footwell on acceleration. I first noticed this noise around 6 months ago and it has bugged me ever since, it was not an overly loud noise and to be honest it could...
