How they look at night.

50/50 works best unless you're in Alaska. Then it's 70/30 coolant and distilled water. Cars operate in a wide variety of temperatures, from well below freezing to we­ll over 38C. So whatever fluid is used to cool the engine has to have a very low freezing point, a high boiling point, and it...

Google images brings me here. So thanks to 'Dewalt' for taking the time to put those pics up above. It was a big help in finding out how to fit new fog light bulbs. I've knocked up a little how to guide, with some additional pics, on changing Clio fog light bulbs that might benefit others in...

I just sold my MG Danny. You'll never know what real paranoia is until you've had one of them. :p Still there was nothing like going around Europe 'on the lash' with my lad in it. You soon sober up with the roof down. He drove for 1600 miles while I slept it off mostly. But I had to pay a £140...

Handy to know. Much obliged to you. Thanks for the other comments too guys.

I liked the wifes clio so much I bought myself one. Just a bit quicker than hers. ;) But what 'mark' is it someone please?.. Anyone.:p

Sorry, was meant to be a pm. :)

I've not had the car too long, but I was initially impressed with the 40 mpg pics that I posted above. :) I discovered how to do the diagnostics check after testing it out with my obd code reader (no codes showed with that). However, checking the diagnostics I saw the code t--- which indicates...

Not had the car too long. (Welcome thread here). It's been as low as 35mpg around town and as high as 43mpg on the motorway. This 40.4mpg was mainly from a motorway drive of around 60 miles today with 4 adults onboard and we weren't sparing the horses either. I'm impressed. Especially with...

Thank God for people who do 'how to guides'. I just changed 2 bulbs that I could never have done without the video guide above. :star:

Awesome. Much obliged to you for that. I'm off to check it out again now. I'll google the rest. Cheers. :)

Ah interesting. Thanks for that. It was advertised as a 'dynamique' 1.2 is all I know. I'm happy to receive any other info you have on that marque. The rest, I'll pick up as I go and I'll have a good mooch around the forum later. I'm sure there's lots of good stuff to see and info to be had...

Cheers folks. It's good to be here. The wife's happy. It's half the battle. :) It was a relatively inexpensive purchase Jesus (Less than a grand). Time will tell, as it does with any car, I suppose. It's shiney though for sure and has some pretty blue bling springs under the headrests. Are...

Hi all, Just checking in to say hello. I bought the wife a lil clio for tooting around in. She liked the colour. :p Seemed fine on the 100 mile journey home. So far, so good. :) The lights behind the dash have gone (seems to be quite common). I plan to use this commendable youtube 'how...
