Resurrecting this post from a good year back but just saw this car on M8 this morning, anyone on here know it's whereabouts, feel sorry for the poor sod that's driving it

admin my f*****g @rse! Their cancellation fee is £45 so will that be all I need to pay instead of the 80 times the remaining months?

I'm with insure2drive but have seen a considerably cheaper quote for Direct Line. I'm only half way through my current policy and pay by monthly instalments costing 80 per month. So if I want to cancel will I have to pay 80 x 6 months or just a simple cancellation fee e.g. 45 quid? thanks

My 2003 Clio decided to pack in whilst reversing it into the garage today. The stop light flashed up and then seconds after it cut out. When I try to start it I get a clicking noise (nobody says it's a flat battery because it isn't), the immobiliser light is on constantly like a solid light and...

Cheers mate, I'll bear that in mind!! Funny you should say that, I was looking at Clio's an noticed that nearly every single one before 04 had a sunroof! Although I don't think the Authentiques did! I started off with a January 2004 (54) Silver Clio Extreme 4 Special Ed, absolutely loved it to...

I have a 2003 Clio Dynamique, average condition 97,000 miles, pretty run down, bit of a dog falling to bits but I want another Clio 2! However I want to steer clear of one's with a sunroof as I had to have mines sealed so that rules out the Dynamiques. Anyone out there know how much I'd get for...

solder the wires to the new holder you mean? so is it not possible to unclip the whole thing from behind the bumper? MOT time is soon and it will obviously fail so need to sort it ASAP

Was driving my 2005 Clio Dynamique home last night and I went down a rather big pothole that I couldn't see. When I came home and drove the car into the garage, I got out to check I hadn't done much damage. No damage at all apart from the reg light had come away from its mount and was dangling...

Most likely blown the fuse if they've been frozen and you've kept trying to make them spray water. You can get them really cheap, I got some online for my car and the fuse takes seconds to fit. I think it's a 10amp, not 100% but i'm sure someone else on here will know

I have recently acquired a genuine renault Clio back box for my car as the cheap pattern part was too noisy to I wanted the standard one back. However, the exhaust mount on my car is the one that the garage that fitted the cheap exhaust put on and I was wondering if this mount would be okay to...

Thanks that's been a great help! It would be easier changing out the whole cluster but I like what they have done with the lights its just that they have obviously broken something to make the warning lights go out. Will open it up tomorrow on my day off and see what bulbs that it requires. I am...

The previous owner of my car decided to change the colour of the lights in the dash board to white. Must admit, it does look smart but there are a few problems! The part that shows my fuel and temperature flickers on and off meaning when it's dark I can't see how much fuel I have because it's...

Yeah you're right! The previous keeper told me Arnold Clark Dundee gave her £495 or something for it because of the mileage. So basically he made a huge profit. And the night I got it I drove it down to Ayr and you could tell the thing was totally fucked beyond belief!

Yeah I've noticed how ridiculously cheap all of their cars are. The clio's seem to be his favourite thing as any time I go past which is probably every day there are always seems too be loads of clios there. Suppose it's a car all us young ones look for. I'm glad at least this thread has got...

Exactly, you're totally right! A 54 (2005 plate) Renault Clio for 1200 is too cheap. For an average condition one at a decent price, a dynamique or extreme 4 would set you back about 2 grand. I don't know what I was playing, so embarassed by myself

I generally don't think he realised that you could pull up any old MOTs online and due to the fact the car was mint I think he thought he could get away with it. After November 2012 when you get an MOT 3 previous mileages are put on it to deter mileage clocking. I went against everyone's advice...

Thought that the baffles may have collapsed first time round but it seems to be with all the boxes i've had on. Plus wouldn't you hear them rattling around inside? i think it's generally cheap and nasty tbh

I was suspecting that myself as they seem to be a universal fit. My mates clio exhaust can't be seen unless you kneel down on the ground and look right under whereas mines can be seen hanging low from the rear. Where can I get one that's close to oem but not quite? renault genuine parts are far...

na, i wasn't going down the road of that, I just wanted my money back. I threatened him with the police, trading standards etc to make him give me my money back. I would never have done it. Maybe it'll be a lesson learned from him to show that he won't get away with it since all MOTs are online...

I have a 2005 Clio Dynamique with 39k on the clock. I had the whole exhaust system including cat replaced in September. It was very noisy which seemed to be coming from the rear. The garage put on 2 new back boxes all of which kept making the same noise. I went elsewhere and got another box put...

Exactly, 1200 quid isn't exactly much for a car. The scenario you described was be much worse, this is an old second hand car we're talking about here. I was gutted about it though, the spec of the extreme is poverty and doesn't have anything on the spec of my dynamique but it was the general...

EXACTLY!!! You honestly would never have known the mileage the car was absolute mint from the outside! it was inside where it gave it away but i bought in such an impulse moment, never gave it a second thought

Hmm maybe that's what is confusing as I can't be 100 percent if that is the garage. Funny thing is, I was the second to buy the car in the same week as it had already been returned before I went to the garage

I'm not sure it was that one-- do you know this garage??

I totally put my hands up and say it was entirely my fault because I didn't do enough research on the history before I bought it. I did an HPI check on it but because there was only 1 owner from new there was no mileage registered with DVLA and I tried contacting the Renault Dealership from...

The garage was on Edinburgh Road in Glasgow- just up from Shettleston. I'll not name any names but I think that's the only second hand dealer on Edinburgh Road.:dapprove:

Reg no is NY54 TOJ, it's in the title :)

I foolishly purchased this car in September 2012 for 1,195 from a garage in Glasgow. The Clio had been clocked from 140,023 miles down to 68, 300! Contacted the previous owner who said she traded it in at Arnold Clark Dundee at 139,999 miles. The car was sent to SMA Auctions in Edinburgh and was...
