    Indicator Problem

    Definately not the bulbs or fuses, checked them and all the visible plugs and connectors I could... Still not working... Relay is making plenty of noise and the rear one is working fine (except too fast!). Any one else had this? Thing is it started doing it and then stopped on many several...

    Indicator Problem

    I didnt drive my RT a lot over winter and when I came to drive it the offside front and side indicators didnt work (the back one just flashed faster), however after getting up to temp and taking a few right turns itd eventually sort itself and during the Donny car show it stopped altogether. Its...

    Break it, Sell it

    Its time for a new car and Im not sure the best course of action for the clio. Its a 91 J, 1.4RT which has had lots of work on it and the only thing wrong with it now is a tiny amount of rust on the arches and passenger door (surface only and not expensive to fix). Ultimately I know its worth...

    Trackday trailering...

    Im currently planning an enterprise project based around transporting cars to racetracks. I just have a couple of questions; How many members trailer cars to events? How many members have knackered a car at an event and have had to pay to have it trailered home? Any help would be muchly...

    Sunroofs

    I took the glass out, got some OrangeGlow degreaser and some cotton buds and got all the muck out of the seals. Left it a while after giving them a good clean and they naturally get a bit more "life" in them. Just gave it a once over today. My problem is its quite noisy when travelling at...

    Ecotec valve’s

    You can have mine for a couple of quid if I can ever be bothered to remove it. The RT inlet manifold is incompatible (non-symmetrical, so uneven dispersion of effect) and the garage said it was causing it to idle poorly... So if I can be bothered to buy the piece to join the pipe back up it Ill...

    i dont belieeeeeeeve it !!!

    Yeah its crap when that happens... Mine were McGards and one broke! The garage had to smack a socket onto to it and wrench it off, luckily it didnt damage my wheel. http://members.lycos.co.uk/clioracer/hpbimg/mcgard.JPGhttp://members.lycos.co.uk/clioracer/hpbimg/mcgard.JPG

    Modding my Clio

    I wouldnt go for a 5dr hatch, but thats just my opinion, thats the only reason its taking me so long to buy my new motor... Families buying 5drs! lol! Anyhow, my modded RT is still up for sale if anyones interested. £1200 http://members.lycos.co.uk/clioracer/http://members.lycos.co.uk/clioracer/

    i need a CLIO!!!!

    I agree get the RT. Mine only cost me £835 FC with No NCB at 19 with full exhaust sytem, lowered and 16s... Liverpool V are very good, excess is quite steep though, so dont crash! Take a look in the Sales forum, plenty of RTs for sale in there. BTW... Why are Maxims faster?

    how much to have a 1.4rt cltch fitted

    They had to drop the sub-frame and shift the gearbox on mine, cant give an idea of cost though because they were doing more jobs at the time, Id budget at least £150 though. Andi

    mot worry...

    Hope that its a pre-July model... then you wont have to worry at all :) Mines a 12/91 with a de-cat and it mullered the emissons... Literally! I thought it was running rich because I could smell petrol from the exhaust, MOT dude said it was ok because the CAT had been removed... Makes sense...

    172’s/cups falling apart

    Renaults... well first of all mine is an oldie so this isnt totally relevant. Dealers are helpful depending on what you want from them. Plenty of staff want to sell you a car, but the last time I went to the parts desk I had to wait 20mins before anyone came to see me. Labour charges at my...

    Tough choice!

    Scooby... Itll still be alive whilst the Renault will actually be scraping along the floor with all the pieces youve put in the boot after they fell off.

    Frustrated By Car Insurance

    But the effect is negligable, it just makes it louder. I appreciate any performance enhancing modifications should be declared, which I have done and cost me an extra couple of hundred quid but when they joke like that its not worth bothering. Insurance in general is a joke. Take "Excess" as...

    Frustrated By Car Insurance

    "Filter... whats one of them... K&N... Never heard of them, my garage services the car... Should it be different?" :confused:

    Getting dents in your pride and joy

    Ive got millions, everytime I get a new one now i just don t care. Glad mine isnt a newer one (although i wish it was!). Its one of those things, just hope Karma gets the b*stards back. A women once did it to me whilst I was in the car... I was like "WTF are you doing!!!?"... In my head of...

    just seen 2fast 2furious!!!

    I was quite chuffed when that happened, nearly as much as when the Beemer hits the water barrels!!! That made me quite happy (wide arched piece of :@... high performance machinery)

    just seen 2fast 2furious!!!

    It hasnt got anything to do with how good the film is... Just thinking about it, Fast and The Furious is like p**n for cars, poor acting, poor scripting and poor direction. But we all watch it for the fun, fast, sexy, steamy, smooth... Erm... Cars... yes cars!!! Andi

    Has anyone Seen 2 fast 2 Furious yet

    Saw it a few days ago... Story and script are crap... "Howd you like them apples!?"... Indeed... Some nice motors, Id get it just for the races. Laughable counting how many times he changes gear in the first race. Its not one for those of you that prefer directorial perfection :sleep:

    Camber...

    Excellent... Camber correction bolts... erm... Where can I get them from and roughly how much do they cost? Do they adjusting regularily? Its just a bolt in the top mount then? Cheers all (Thanks Ben... I still need to learn about this kind of stuff!)

    Camber...

    Something a local garage could do without messing up would be nice. I dont entirely understand the procedures youre on about so a recommendation would be best. My criteria are... Cheapish, simple enough for a local spanner... thats about it. Im not totally inept, so if I could do it myself...

    Camber...

    Good job theyre getting replaced tomorrow then... £58.75 each, pretty good. So I assume there are no simple methods for fixing it then, oh well, it took a year to happen anyway! Will it wear the same at the back or less rapidly? Just wondering if swapping wheels after 6 months might help...

    Camber...

    Right... Cheers guys. I was pretty sure the tyre wear was part of the package as my mate Kev lowered his 60mm and it ate a set of front tyres incredibly rapidly. Is there anything simple that can help, such as a strut brace? I know the reduce suspension flexing, so maybe theyd help (at least...

    Camber...

    Had the RT lowered about 35mm last Summer, should it greatly affect the camber, looked at my front tyres the other day, wearing much faster on the inside. Is something wrong or do lowered cars wear insides more quickly (like its just one of those things). If so is it a full on job to sort? Andi

    Lowering

    Think I paid about £240 all in... though they messed up the torsion bar an dI had to have it done twice... cost me an extra £40...

    Help Me, I cant mod......

    Im a student and theres not much that can be done really. If you want a nice car you have to pay to insure it... Mines not bad because its a J plate, so is worth practically nothing, but with wheels etc, she aint too bad looking. I was insured with my dad for my first year and I wouldnt have...
