Whilst driving home the other night doing about 60 all of a sudden the car miss fired juddered and a warning light appeared on my dash (the same, light that comes on when the coil pack goes and then I could not go above 30mph. When I got it home I switched off the engine and then started it...
Hey all,
I have noticed a squeeking sound (similar to when jumping on a bed) whenever I drive over a speed bump or any other bump in the round. Sound is coming from the front drivers side. Is this a sign that my shocks have gone?
Thanks

Ah thanks guys, was starting to think that she wasnt built to last much over 100,000, but 180K plus?...I maintain her as best as I can, with servicing at the right point etc etc and being a 1.2 I dont bother nailing it....just a comfortable 80mph down the motorway...feel a little more confident...
Right Ladies and Gents,
My little 1.2 (2004) dynamique has just clocked 106,500 miles via mostly motorway and long A road driving. Everything other then mods such as induction kit and backbox are OE apart from the Belts (which were changed at 58,000 and will be due again in Jan 2014 as it will...
liking the subtle mods bud, I too have a 1.2 and went for the induction kit for noise which seemed like a good idea at the time but now long drives along the motorway are a nightmare. I have the same head unit as you too, although I think mine is an older model as the aux cable is at the back of...
Hey Mate,
I would go with some coilovers, I got a 1.2 16V dynamique and lowered in 60mm just using springs bought from Ktec racing but I wish I had waited and saved the money for some coilovers as I dont think my car is low enough =:(
Have you checked the crankshaft sensor? Mine was just turning over and not firing a couple of weeks ago...took it to a garage and they changed the crank shaft sensor and now she is starting first time :)
Hey all,
Currently i am have my car lowered 60mm on apex springs bought from ktec racing, but am now on the lookout for some coilovers however if I were to lower the car 90mm from standard will I get scrubbing? Also what bolt spacing will my car have.
I have a 2004 1.2 16v dynamique on 16"...
I prefer the privicy glass too, it looks less chavvy and also doesnt look like you are trying to conceal anything worth stealing. A few of my mates have had their rear windows smashed and speakers stolen. Although this could be down to them blasting their music rather then having dark rear tints.
cheers for the responses guys, I have bitten the bullet and ordered some 3M carbon wrap and will give it a go when it arrives. Will post some pics once I have done it :)
Hey peeps,
I have been toying with the idea of carbon wrapping the reanult diamonds on the front rear and on the wheels of my car but was wondering if anyone has tried to cardon wrap the rear clio badge before? and so did it work/look good?
Thanks

Hey all,
Looking to get a spoiler for my phase 2, like the look of this spoiler the seller says it will fit all models but is this true? Has anybody ever fitted one of these to a phase 2...
Sounds like the crank shaft sensor. I have a 1.2 16v dynamique and at times it would start not problem and others it would just turn over and not fire. Took it to a garage and posted on here and everyone said it was the crankshaft sensor. Aparently it is fairly common and the part shouldnt cost...
Hey all,
So today my house mate and I installed an inphase all in one sub unit into my car, eveything went as it should with the only issue of mashing up my hands trying to hide the wires under bits of trim. However when I took the car for a spin, the service, stop, ABS and Handbrake lights did...
Does it turn over or is it dead when you turn the key?
If it is dead when you turn the key check the connections on the starter motor.
If it just turns over but doesn't fire it could be the crank shaft sensor.
I had this issue last year and it was the coil back that went. That coupled together with my exhasut made it sound like I was in a scooby although I couldnt get much over 40mph haha
Ive got a simiar issue at the moment and the guy in the garage is telling me that it is a crank shaft sensor and it is fairly common for them to go on my model (mk2 04 1.2 16V dynamique)
Hey Everyone,
Sometimes when starting my car it will turn over and fire first time no problems, but on random occasions it will turn over and not fire at all?! When it first happened I fiddled with the starter motor connection and eventually she started. Took it to the garage and nothing came...
Hey guys and girls,
I am thinking about changing my gear knob and replacing it with this;

How do you remove the OE gear...
Hey all,
I have a mate at work whose car is currently failing its MOT becuase the ABS light is not working. We have checked the fuse and thats fine, and when you turn on the ignition all the lights light up APART from the ABS light.....is this a simple case of the bulb needing to be replaced...
