Hey, Years ago when I was on here more frequently and had a Mk2 I purchased a replacement pair of door sill protectors for a mk2 ph2 3 door Clio, with the plan to carbon fibre cover them, however I never got around to it, and we now have a mk3 and mk4 so not any use to me. If anyone would like...

Bought my mk3 clio (sports tourer) a month ago second hand at 1 year old, and it wasn't originally spec'ed with a spare tyre, which worries me as our work car part is notorious for nails (Had one go through the tyre on my mk2 a few months ago). so yesterday I went in to Renault and asked if I...

Non-sports without aircon still has one fitted, it only takes a minute to check it anyways

When I passed my test 4 years ago my instructor warned me about this as it was common on the roundabout on the dual carriageway outside collage, taking advantage of the traffic and inexperienced drivers to get insurance payouts on old broken cars, and what you've explained sounds just like it.

First time I've posted one of these, but was walking back to our new house late this afternoon/early evening and crossed the road (at the roundabout at the top of willsbridge hill) behind a ly 182 with a cliosport sticker in the rear window. Thought I'd be interesting to see if it's someone who...

Thanks martin, I'm going to be on to them as soon as I can (somewhere between finishing my degree work, moving house, sending wedding invites and traveling back down to pick her up! It's going to be a hard week) No I wasn't told, the garage has been a pain since I got it from them. When I...

Should have her back next week :-) think my mum or brother will be driving her before me though :-( The guy who's done it has kept the original parts for me though, as the belt had been changed, but the tensioners hadn't. So I'm hoping I might be able to claim some of the costs back seeing as...

I'm currently Bath, but will be (Outer) Bristol soon. Maybe up for something depending on when and what it is as very busy at the moment. Only ever been to meets from cs when I was on placement last year so not really sure who any of you guys down here are. Like the sound of eating, i'm not...

Ah thanks for all the help. Will get this one rebuilt, at least I know I've looked after it and it was running smooth before, wouldn't want to put a knackered engine in her. I'd thought about asking them to replace the water pump, but hadn't thought about the clutch so will ask them to do that...

ah okies. Not sure what the voltage would be for it

Look in the guides section, I followed it a few weekends ago and the rattling has gone, as well as the leaking which was what I was trying to stop. Mine rattled for a while then started leaking. Actually where it has been rattling it had worn through the paint and just left the undercoat :s The...

I had the same problem with not receiving any radio stations (although it only started a couple months after owning it). Last weekend I took the base of the aerial off the roof and opened it up (there are a couple screws underneath iirc), and a capacitor had blown and leaked all over the rest of...

Yea, I'll get a proper estimation. This was just a rough guide given by the local chap who does the farm work. He's busy after the bank holiday weekend so his coming back to collect it on Thursday and then will have a proper look. Thanks for the suggestion Steve, but i'm stuck in Cornwall at my...

sh*t, got a mechanic to look at it and he says it's the cambelt, and I'm looking at £1k for it to be repaired. Anyone know where I stand with the company who replaced it 16months ago, I just rang them up and they said to basically go away as they will only cover it for 12months. Feel this is...

Thanks guys, been out all day and I didn't get any pictures before I left and now it's all dark. I've been out and looked at the pot we put under the leak and there is no more than 50ml there. Will get it to a garage in the morning not sure I want to tow it, free wheeling down the hill was...
