OK so i will give you guys the story so far. Since owning the clio for 3 years intermittently the air bag and serv light has come on like many other clios out there. Yesterday i visited the local garage (cit-ren) really knowledgeable guys. they connected it up to what i assume is clip, reading...

my footwell strip lights fell off on the drivers side. I actually stuck them on the heater blower pipe for the footwells as theres nothing else really to stick them too... just wondered if anyone has any ideas where else i could put them up there? i think the heat melted the sticky tape etc lol

I'm wondering what is the fastest way to remove the lower radiator hose. The stupid clip holding the pipe to the radiator is the wrong way around and so awkward to remove. is there an easy way to remove this clip without taking half the front of the car apart? ie. what is the fastest way to...

Ok so since I converted all my dash pretty much to blue there is one thing I have left to finish, that would be the heater controls. Ive removed the orange strip from it already and I bought these smds to go in: http://www.crazyleds.co.uk/Blue-286-T5-3xPLCC-2-wedge-base-push-fit-led.html...

Has anyone thought about or added wing mirror indicator lights to their 172? I was thinking about it the other day as what would be the best aproach. Obviously a drill would be involved lol What do you guys think?

The horn on my car has gone weird. Only sounds when I move the steering wheel in one direction. Its not the stalk type, its on the wheel itself. Any ideas peoples? Checked fuse, fine. And horn under car connections all cleaned up too. Still no luck.

funny thing happened yesterday, my radio clock starting changing the hour on its own. tried pressing the button repeatedly and also beating it, lol. stopped doing it when i got in car today, then randomly started and stopped again. anyone have this happen before? i did wonder if the button was...

okay, so basically on 5th may the clio got hit in the rear on a roundabout by an astra. total cost for me was £438 total for them £1300 odd. phoned Admiral since they sent me an email saying the claim was settled and that id lost my no claims bonus as i was considered at fault! they basically...

Ok so basically, i had to renew the thermostat housing unit on my k4m engine, since oil had gotten into the coolant. before i did this i got the system pressure checked for possible head gasket and it was ok. Since the coolant was emptied, thermostat housing was changed and new coolant got put...

figured i would post this in as it is quite amusing. i may as well have bought a new car all the times i have repaired the clio haha: done mods: blue footwell lighting custom dash job (blue lcd display as opposed to orange) custom drivers switch for footwell lighting additional boot light...

i was involved in an accident on a roundabout the other day, a vauxhall vectra hit me in the rear lol: obviously she will be going to the garage, but im just curious as to what you guys think, damage wise what i would be looking at? plus i thought hell lets put it on cliosport :) ive jacked...

when i go over speed bumps, on the way down i hear a massive thud i have recently renewed the springs and shocks on both sides (the noise has since gotten less a bit since doing this) heres the interesting part: i jacked my mk2 04 clio up today at the back. on the passenger side when i pull...

Ok, long story short, i have wired in footwell lights into the above courtesy light. because i cant be bothered to strip it all out and rewire it all and make a 3 way switch, i came up with the genius idea of wiring a switch into the door switches. Basically i have cut a hole where the headlight...

This might be useful in the guides section or troubleshooting i don't know. Basically, if you have slight oil in your coolant reservoir, floating at the top but no loss of power like a head gasket failure. chances are its the thermostat housing causing the issue. I found this out through an...

courtesy light has 3 wires going to it. red white black. i connected my foot-well lights + to the red and the - to the white.... now only the foot-well lights come on when the car is unlocked. How do i wire it so the foot-well and courtesy lights all come on? i tried a few combinations and...

Ok, so i managed to rip open the headlight adjuster only to find an orange plastic. i figured try removing it, surely would get a white light. didnt really work. Ideally i want this to be blue, so what bulb am i needing and also, do i need to get that orange plastic changed as well? to top it...

Ok so ive got the correct dome type LED's, but unfortunately i got this far and don't know how to get the rest of the circuitry out: any ideas guys?

I'm putting blue foot-well lights into the car (mk2 clio), wiring the + and - through the A frame is simple enough i guess, but how do you get it up to the courtesy light? I pulled the courtesy light out of its socket, but cant see which way its going around to the main loom, is it on the...

i currently have the same boot light as this: is it possible to put the same one on the other side? Obviously the plastic would have to be cut out.... i'm just wondering whether there is any wiring loom on the other side to support it, or will i have to wire it from the other side?
