Hi all, I have a 2007 1.2 Mk3 Clio and a while back it developed a whining noise which has gradually got louder. Got my stepdad to have a look/listen while doing an oil and filter change on it and he reckons sounds like it's coming from the alternator. Whine increases pitch with revs and is...

Ah I think I see it, the black, ribbed thing?

Oh haha I'll try again.

Heya, Thanks for your help! :) I had a look myself but wasn't sure what/where to look so I've taken a pic if it's of any help?

Hi all, I've got a 2001 (Y) clio 1.2 Sport 16v, done 100,800 miles and I want to do a oil and filter change (not done one myself before). I know 10w 40 has been used in it but I'm just looking on eurocarparts, Castrol 4 litre is semi synth and there's Shell Helix which is a bit cheap and just...

Heya all, so my clio's had this problem for quite a while now. It sometimes doesn't start and what I've figured out is I have to wiggle a little yellow wire at the front of the engine (Starter motor wire?) to get it to start. Obviously the connection is bad. My step dad attached a metal bit on...

It's like its molded in there, wont budge. Screwdriver just bends the plastic about if inserting through the little slots :/ Heres a pic: A bit dirty... Ignore, I've done it. just needed to pull abit harder with pliers lol

SOrry to resurrect an old thread but in my 2001 clio I take off the cap and inside is an inner bit of plastic with little slit holes around it and 2 bits of plastic sticking up from the bottom (not very deep) Is this the filter? I cannot remove it at all, with fingers or clean pliers :( Or am I...

Heya all, quick question. I've got a 2001 Y Reg 1.2 Clio Sport 16v. Before I order it, will this be compatible Power steering fluid? Wynn's power steering fluid: http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0050O57DG/?tag=cliospnet01-21 Thanks for any help.

Thanks for your replies. I'll have to get my stepdad to take a look at them at some point. It never did it before they were changed. I know the local garage would charge me an overpriced amount to check it all out which is why I'm trying to avoid that as much as possible. Also something...

It wont unless it is a motorbike ;) hehe :)

Hi all, so when I took my clio for it's MOT in November last year, It failed as they said it needs new brake discs and pads. They changed them up for me and it passed but after a while they started squeaking when I brake. I left it to see if it would go away on it on after using them for a while...

Just a quick update, Car passed MOT retest with no advisories :) Thanks all for the help and encouragement. x

Brill, Thank you. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/W5W-501-5w-W2-1x9-5d-OSRAM-Ultra-Life-Sidelight-Bulbs-/290987935220?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item43c03b85f4 Ordering these.

Thanks for the fast reply, If you look on the 6th & 7th pics down of the lights on, its the 7th pic driver side inner little light that's not on. (2 turn clicks on the lights switch lever thing) hehe Such a noob with this stuff :o If I was to remove the bulb will it say on it which one it is...

I've noticed that the driver side side light or whatever it's properly called isn't working so I'll need to get a new bulb for it. How do I find what the right bulb is for it to tap online, or I could go down the local Wilcos car parts place and ask them. I typed it in google & ebay and it comes...

I got the Meguiars headlight kit and sanded with the 4 different grit pads they give you and buffed with PlastX and a buffer on a drill.

This is what I've done today: Driver side light before Passenger side light before After 10 mins buffing on driver side After buffing Passenger side for a while After further Sanding & Buffing Some marks still that show with lights on that I can't get to go (Maybe Inside?) End...

I will need a sealant afterwards, but I can't believe how hard it is to find in the UK. Found a few sellers on ebay that sell the C4 stuff buts it's like £45, that combined with the kit and it's the same as buying decent 2nd hand headlights. Any other suggestions? The car is kept outside all...

You know what, I think I'm gonna just try buffing it. I didn't realise you can get little kits for it which is handy. If it doesn't work well enough, I've found 2 sets of headlights on ebay one on bid for £26 for both currently, and the other pair for £70 make an offer (Look cleaner). So I've...

Yea I may try and clean them up, they are very hazy and yellow though. I would just buy them though if I found them fairly cheap somewhere. When they quoted me the headlights the woman said twin beam on the phone so think it was the right ones they asked for.

Ok, I have seen some pics, I think they look alright, but maybe that's just me. I went to local scrapyard but they had none. Might try phoning/email around tomorrow. The original plan was to buff them, but the bloke at the mot station said if I did that in a few months they'll be back bad again. (?)

Heya all, Had my MOT today and my clio failed on headlights being too scuffed up and not letting enough light through, (also a brake imbalance at the front.) I need to get some headlights within 10 days for the free retest. I realise I could probably buff them up but they are pretty bad (2...

Thanks for the info, I'll take a look! :)

​Heya all. So the other day I drove home from work and to go on my driveway - as it's a tight turn - I drive down the side road a little, then reverse up & turn, then drive forwards onto the drive. When drove down the side road that night, I noticed the Zig zag & Coil warning light come on in...

No it's been started up, but I did turn the key just 2 clicks to test screenwash after putting it in the right container, not sure it that counts. I'll get him to have another look at it wen he gets in and see about draining the reservoir fully.

Between me and my mum, we've managed to do something very silly. :slap: The Story: I noticed on the way home from work my windows were caked in crud, splats, smears etc. I tried to spray them but the screenwash had run out. When I got home I turned the car off and went to prepare the...

The problem just started happening one day randomly. I hadn't noticed any previous symtoms. I took it to the garage in the end, they put it on diagnostics and nothing was coming up. They kept it in there for a couple more days, then rang up to tell me it's fixed. They had replaced one of the...

Just wanted to annouce that I got my car fixed. Turned out to be the Injector. Hopefully if anyone has this problem, they may dig this up and get a solution. :)

Ok, thankyou very much for your help :) I'll speak to him later ask ask him if he's had a look under the engine ect.. and get him to double check. I've found one on ebay for £14 and I'll get that if we can't find anything.
