    Have you got the dash dimmer dial/wheel turned down (right hand side of wheel)?

    A Clio Wheel Emergency

    Turns out that when I had the brake discs done a week earlier the wheel nuts hadn't been tighted properly so had shaken themselves loose. I was already aware of the alloy being a bit buckled but it hadn't been causing any issues so just panicked as soon as it started shaking. Thanks for the...

    A Clio Wheel Emergency

    Basically this is the situation: I'm half way through a charity bike ride with a twist from Lands End to John O'Groats via the three peaks and the Great North Swim. Today our support vehicle (my mk3 Clio) has somehow got a buckled front NS wheel and shudders when moving. We are currently in the...

    Headlight not working.

    On my last clio both headlight bulbs went within the space of a week so I don't think it's that uncommon.

    MK3 TCE Buying Tips

    After selling the MK2 and having a nightmare with a Suzuki Swift (gearbox seemed to be made of cardboard and have a mind of it's own) I'm returning to the world of the Clio. Going to look at a MK3 1.2 TCE (facelift) next week and was wondering if there is anything I should watch out for? Any...

    Mystery Whine

    The only thing which was odd was that it was also doing it with the clutch depressed while doing around 20/30mph so that's why I thought it could be the wheels.

    Mystery Whine

    The Clio has recently started making this noise which is coming from the the front of the car. I managed to get a recording of it the other day as it happened. http://s1315.photobucket.com/user/adamduffers/media/IMG_2135_zpsc28db575.mp4.html I'm unsure what it is as I can't work out if it's...

    Acceptable Paint Match?

    UPDATE 2: Took the car in this morning which they were fine with. Got a phone call 20 mins later saying they couldn't see the problem with the colour but were happy to spray it anyway (with the yellower shade as suggested by the-darkhorse) and if it's wrong I would have to deal with it. They...

    Acceptable Paint Match?

    UPDATE: Went today back to the bodyshop. He fixed the wheel arch lining and agreed that the paint didn't match and the gap was off so it's going in at the end of the week and hopefully with have it sorted. I'll post pics when it's done to see what you think.

    Acceptable Paint Match?

    Thanks for the advice. I was going to go back tomorrow anyway as they also managed to snap some of the wheel arch lining clips and not replace them so the plastic was basically hanging off and rubbing the tyre. I phoned them as soon as I noticed a difference on thursday but he seemed convinced...

    Acceptable Paint Match?

    The colour has been blended into the bumper and door but not the bonnet. I assume they fitted a genuine part. They quoted £76 for the part which is the same as what I was quoted from my local Renault dealer. The original damage looked like this so I don't know whether this might have damaged...

    Acceptable Paint Match?

    Got my Clio back from the bodyshop on Thursday where they've replaced and repainted the front wing after my neighbour decided to reverse into it over Christmas. In bright sunlight when I picked it up it looks alright but I've had a look at it over the past couple of days and it seems like the...
