Hi guys, Driving to work yesterday and this happened. STOP light and STOP coolant temperature indicator with the needle at the top: Pulled over and checked my coolant. Stupidly, I hadn't checked it for a while before this and when I looked there was none in the bottle. Filled it up with...

Hi guys, I am trying to find an insurer that will let me drive other cars third party, fire and theft if I'm fully comp. I notice a lot of companies only offer this for 25+ year olds now. Does anyone know of any companies that still offer this to under 25s? I'm 21, 4 years driving...

Hi guys, Just went to do up my window (electric) and the window seems to be stuck inside the door. When I hold the button to get the window to go up, I can hear a kind of "grinding" noise. I assume the motor or something that pushes the window up is broken? Is it possible for me to fix it...

Hi all, When I am driving along, there is a constant noise coming from the back of the car and it sounds like it's coming from the rear wheels, in particular the left. The noise can be best described as buzzing. Now weirdly, if I turn left, the noise stops. If I turn right, the noise gets...

Hi guys, My thermometer is consistently saying 36c which is obviously broken. I had the radio out at the weekend and was fiddling with the hazard switch and internal lock switch. Have I knocked something? Anyone experienced this before or similar? Does anyone know a fix? Many thanks! :)

Any help would be appreciated... will try to describe the best I can.. Car is a Clio 1.2 16v. The car starts up fine, when idling the car is unsettled and when I look at the gear stick, it is shaking more than usual. When I give the car some revs, up to about 2k, it sounds like it's missing...

Just wondered if anyone has experienced this or could shed some light... My car is a 1.2 16v 2001 model. It started off being a quiet-ish whining noise when in 5th gear. The noise only occurs accelerating. If I take my foot off the pedal, it stops. Over the last week it has gradually got...

My car is currently parked on a hill, pointing down the hill. I let the handbrake down to set off but it seems like the handbrake is stuck on. Obviously, being on a hill it should start to roll down anyway but it doesn't. When I apply some throttle the car pushes down but no movement. Similar...

Finally fitted my RS Grille today so gave it a quick wash and grabbed a few pics. Next on the plans is to lower and add spacers. Not too sure what to lower on? Suggestions? P1070184 by chrisbarnett, on Flickr P1070175 by chrisbarnett, on Flickr P1070174 by chrisbarnett, on Flickr...

I just went to start my car, (clio 1.2) and it seems to have died. There is no noise when I turn the key and the engine doesn't start. I turn the key and nothing happens. All lights/electrics work, could the problem be the starter motor or ignition? Help needed please! Many thanks.

In need of help! After some spacers. 10/15/20mm wanted but I dont know which kind are the safest/strongest? Also I dont know, do they have to be hubcentric? Abit clueless. I've read other threads about them bolting onto the hub then bolting the wheels to the spacers? Any help would be much...

Don't have a clue how to use photoshop. Would someone be able to do a quickie of it lowered. Much appreciated and thanks in advance.

Taken the side strips off as I'm going to spray them. Obviously this has left holes. Is it bad if water gets in these holes or anything? lol. Just never done this before and don't wanna mess my car up! Cheers for any help! Chris

Basically, the title says it all. Has anyone done this, how easy is it? Is there a guide that anyone knows of, or how anyone did it. Cheers

Wanna add some spacers to give my car a little more stance. What ones do I need and do I need longer wheel nuts? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Chris B

Driving past Rydon School. Let me through the give way. Are you local?

Just gauging interest if anyone would be willing to colour code my car for me? Would pay obviously. Anyone done this before? Cheers.

I'm sorry this is noobish but how do I remove all the mouldings from the front bumper, back bumper and side panels. Looking to colour code, is it easy-ish to do yourself?! Cheers, Chris B.

Looking to colour code. Anyone know of any places in Devon that could do it? Not sure of any bodyshops? Cheers, Chris.

Bought some alloys, and basically the guy left on some metal dustcaps. They seem to be fully stuck on and I cant unscrew them. Kinda need them off urgently as the tyre needs pumping. Just wondering if anyone knew how to loosen them or if anyone has had this problem before. Any help would be...

Here is my 1.2 16v Dynamique standard: Bought some 172 alloys from kiddo on here (thanks): Chopped the aerial abit to make it look smarter: Got some clear side repeaters, just need to fit them. Maybe an RS grill next and possibly lower a smidge. Any other small mods I could do?

Anyone know what fitment they are for a MK2 PH2? Cheers, Chris B

One of my headlights is really hazey and I dunno how to get it off? Really bugging me. Any help would be mucho appreciated!

Fairly new to this. How do I go about colour coding my spoiler etc?

I know its 4x100, but what about the other stuff? What else do I need to be aware of if I was to buy some alloys?

Are spacers easy to fit? And anyone know where's the best place to get them?

This is my first car. Had it almost a year now and getting abit bored of it. Seeing as i'm only a student, i can't obviously afford to get a faster car (due to insurance FML) so i'm up for just trying to make my car look tidy and have abit of wow factor. Any suggestions would be much...
