    Mk3 Clio - 1.2 - Brake Lights on Permanently

    Hi folks, I've not been on ClioSport in years - possibly 5 years now as that is when I sold my 172 Cup and got my 1.2 TCE Mk3. Twas much a sad day and I miss it every time I jump in the car. The 1.2 has been a trusty steed and pretty reliable... it's coming up to 5 years old and so far it's...

    How easy is it to change the front wing on a Mk2 Clio?

    Halo Folks, Not been on here in ageeees since I got rid of my Cup 18 months ago! Anywhooo, my better half has had a little bump in her 03 plate Dynamique and cracked her front wing... so thought I'd source a replacement from a scrappy and change it myself. How hard is it to replace? Is it a...

    Growing up sucks!

    About 4 weeks ago I traded my 172 Cup in for a 1.2 Clio Dynamique. The Cup was costing me too much to run as things were going wrong with it left right and center. I'm also conscious that I should probably consider getting on the housing market! I nearly got a 05 182 with 11k miles on the clock...

    How the f*** do you get an aftermarket HU to fit a Clio 3!

    Any shed any light? I've been *****ing about with my new clio 3 Dynamique trying to get a JVC HU in. Basically there is no space behind the unit for all the wiring... I can't go up because it f***s about with the heater controllors. I was thinking of taking a dremel to the bottom as there...

    Sorry for the rant... Well my local renault dealership were alot of use today. Booked my 172 in to have my alarm sorted out... it was pretty much fucked and it didn't take Einstein to work out that it'd probably need replacing. Dropped it in last night to be looked at today. I had described...

    Seen and read plenty of threads on the 1*2 alarms. Now mines going bonkers. Over the weekend its been randomly going off, when I've switched it off its been beeping at me completely random. None of the standard beeps, its as if it wants to play me a tune! So I've booked it into the garage to...

    Dodo'd my Cup - pic heavy

    Just used the Dodo Light on my cup... this is the first time i've applied a wax by hand... was quite weird at first but got the hang of it pretty quickly. I've only used P21S and Collie 476s before and IMO the dodo has out performed both... I just hope it lasts longer than my old favourite P21S...

    My Cup has developed a sort of banging/clunking noise when i go over speedbumps/pot holes. I only notice it on the passengers side... does this mean that the shock is fubar'd? I'm guessing I'd have to replace both drives and passnegers side if it is... expesnive job???

    Detailed: Black V6 TT

    Well I've been promising my Mum I'd detail her Audi TT for the last 6 months. It really needs claying and PC'ing as it has quite a few swirls but that will wait for a couple of months. So... I attacked the car with the following products: Serious Performance Shampoo AG SRP AG EGP Collinite 476S...
