    Air Filter

    I'm getting a remap next week and I realised I only have a bog standard panel filter installed. Will it matter much for the map or should I get a ramair filter or even an induction kit?

    Tinting

    Hi all, I'm looking to get my Clio's rear windows tinted. I have found the company, but they offer difference percentages and I am not sure which ones would suite the car and the colour. Has anyone had their windows tinted "aftermarket" and if so, what percentage did you go for? (extra...

    Dialogys/Parts

    Hi all, Does anyone have access to Dialogys? Or know the part number for the 200 bumper and parts associated with it (black insert where reg plate sits etc) Bumper is peppered in stone chips and I don't want to get it sprayed as it's got previous owner damage. Many thanks!

    Brake Squeal

    I fitted new Brembo brake discs and pads about a month ago, and have done about 1000 miles since, but I still get brake squeal!!! I have taken the pads off and totally decontaminated the calipers and pads, greased the pad runners in the caliper, the backs of the pads, the edges of the pads and...

    9 and 3 movement

    Hey all, I have side to side (9 to 3) movement on the front passenger of my car, but not on the drivers side. This is the side that took the brunt of the pothole that I hit. What would be the likely culprit? I was thinking outer tie rod, or maybe the anti roll bar links? Anyway to test for...

    Tool Chest Organiser

    So I got a tool chest organiser for xmas, and I have moved all my tools into it, but the problem I am having is that the sockets keep falling over and getting mixed up etc. I bought some foam from Dunelm (terrible decision) and it's not very good, it leaves bits everywhere, and looks awful...

    Mintex 1144

    Am I right in thinking that these are Mintex 1144 brake pads? I have checked Mintex's own catalogue and the item code is MDB2725 so it all matches up. I'm just wondering why they are so cheap, as I could get a spare set to keep in my toolbox!

    Greg's Albi Blue Clio 200

    So, after all the lurking and getting to know my car, I have decided to make a thread! I bought my 59 plate Albi Blue Clio 200 last December from half way up the country. I waited a while for the right one to come up for me. Ticked all the boxes for me, leather seats, cup pack, and the best...

    Clio 200 Knocking

    So, I have been experiencing a knock on the n/s front after hitting a pothole, having been to the garage who told me "nothing is wrong with it". I thought i'd do some investigating. First thing I looked at is the top mounts... Do I just buy the top mount kit from RPD?

    The little things...

    What little mods have people done on their 197/200's? For me, some small things are the vacuum hose in the engine bay is yellow, the battery and air filter cover are now gloss black. I was going to paint the side bullets gloss black, but I am undecided.

    Brake pads grinding

    Hi all, I have been noticing that the rear drivers side brakes have been grinding while moving. Not loud, but loud enough to annoy me. I had a look a few weeks ago and noticed that the caliper was a bit worn including the piston bush being torn and damaged, so I decided to replace it. I...

    Powerflex Torque Mount

    Wiper Stalk

    Hi all, I am having a slight problem with my wiper stalk on my 59 plate 200 FF. Sometimes, everything will work; rear wipers will work, individual front wiper settings will work, trip computer buttons will work. Then later they won't work. Sat in my car earlier turning the rear wiper on and...

    Scorpion Resonated Exhaust

    I am looking at getting a Scorpion Resonated exhaust and I am wondering, does it make a flat spot like the silencer delete does? I had the silencer delete done and it has the mother of all flat spots at 2.5k and it feels like it has lost power. I just want a nice bit of noise while still...

    Creaky Steering

    Hi all, I replaced my track rod end on the passenger side on Friday afternoon and got it Hunter aligned that day also, I didn't drive it much yesterday, and it felt fine, but today, I can hear a creak from behind the steering wheel, like literally just behind it in the cabin only when turning...

    Clio 200 Stereo 'Upgrade'

    I am looking for a new stereo, one that has Bluetooth, CD, front USB and Aux. I also need to know which patch lead and adapter I would need to get it all working with the steering wheel controls and head up display. I spent lots of money on my last car getting it all right and I want to save...
