    FAO Owners of Clio 1.5 DCI

    Hi. What are your thoughts and experiences with this version? I have been looking at one, since miles per gallon are pretty decent and tax is also cheap. If it's looked after what sort of mileage would you expect? Any comments in regards to these are welcome.

    Number Plate Values

    So I was driving home yesterday, and a guy in a black BMW pulled alongside me and put his window down, long story cut short, he used to own my car about 9 years ago before selling it to his mate Jason, who then sold it to the guy I bought it from. He told me to get a valuation on the number...

    Old Black Bumper Trim - Spraying New Life Into It

    I have bumper trim that has faded into a dull grey colour, and I want to spray it so it looks clean and fresh. It has the dreaded pimple feel to the material. So a quick question, if I sprayed it over in black, would this be ok, or would it need to go through the works of sanding, prepping...

    BMW Cooling System Problem

    The highlighted red part has broken. I had the car MOT'd Saturday and when they did the emissions test, they had problems with it. They let it cool down, and refilled it. Since then it was fine. But since picking it up after dropping the car back in today, it's been spitting/overheating. The...

    Steering or Suspension?

    Last week I had to put new power steering fluid in as it was low, the sound went when I turned the wheel. Yesterday, when I had a full car, the noise of the steering was terrible, but went when there was only two of us in there. Could this be a steering issue, or a problem with the suspension?

    Photoshop Request Please

    If someone has a spare few minutes, could they please photoshop this photo to have the wheels black, and another in anthracite. I'm looking to see what each look like before having them repsprayed, cheers.

    Clio 172 Lookalike

    Thought I'd have a look see how much they are going for on Ebay and in what condition etc. I found this, it's a 1.2 and was originally red, look at the 5th photo. :dead...

    Out At Night

    Took a few photos tonight at a local car park, it got dark before I could get to where I wanted to go, so I improvised.

    My experience with car finance

    I wanted to share this, as it may help some people from making the same mistakes as I did, and if it stops just one person, then it was a message worth sharing. My very first car was a P reg Vauxhall Corsa, given to me by my mum as she had inherited my grandads car when he passed away. After...

    Old Car vs New Car

    I decided enough was enough, the French build quality of my Clio in particular was probably done by children, although that's insulting to the kids. So for the past few weeks I've been resolving problems, getting a new MOT done, and selling it via the auctions. I had great times driving a 1.2...

    Drivers Seat Lever (To Get Into Back)

    My drivers seat lever is broken that pulls the seat forward to get access to the back. How do I repair this?

    Could I Fail The M.O.T For..

    I am hopefully booking my M.O.T for this Saturday, however today I've had a problem with the drivers seat. When I go to pull the lever up to get access to the back seat, it doesn't do anything. It doesn't have the same resistance to it as when you do it to the passenger seat works. Just...

    Step back or forward?

    Just wondering if anyone on here thinks I would be taking a step forward or backwards by selling my 1.2 04 Clio to get an N reg BMW 323i Coupe. Obviously the power difference is a lot, as well as the luxuries and up to date mod cons, but it has FSH and it's in good nick, and going for around...

    Changing Window Regulator

    Hi guys, I've had a new one delivered and I want to change it over asap. I've done some searching, but the threads I looked at didn't answer what I'm looking for. What tools do I need, and do I need to do anything with the passenger side handle where the airbag key is? Thanks.

    Am I being too picky?

    I have advertised my Clio for sale recently to test the water, and have received a respectable offer for the car. I have been looking at getting a 172 as they are generally cheaper to buy, and I am not in a position to get money anytime soon to get something higher valued than what I can sell...

    Light coming and going

    Hey guys. I've had two lights coming on and going off every so often, it's only just started happening since about an hour ago, and the car has been fine. The lights that come on are the SERV light, and the other one is on the right hand side, looks like a person sat down with a big circle in...

    First Time Detail

    I want to start detailing my car and having it look half as good as some of the cars on here. I've made a list of the things I think I need, and found out how much it will cost. I want to know if anyone thinks I'm buying something I don't need, or missing out on something. It's worth noting...

    Upgrade to a 172 or 1*2

    Not sure that I'm in the right area, but it can be moved if not. I'm starting a new job tomorrow, and I'd love to get a Clio Sport, but I've learnt my lesson from my 1.2 and I wouldn't buy one on finance. I can't take a loan out to buy one, because I'm making repayments on one now, so I was...

    What are these wheels called..?

    Sorry if this is a common question, but it's quite hard to find when the keywords you have for it are Clio wheels. Thank you. :)
