    Deleting Profile

    Hello guys. I have sold my beloved Clio RS and so I feel it is pointless me keeping my profile. How do I go about deleting it?

    URGENT - HEL Rear Brake Lines

    Just went to fit my HEL braided brake lines. Fronts seem to be fine but my mate who is a mechanic took one look at the rear hoses and said "no way!". The hoses on the rear of the car (into the rear calipers) bear no resemblance to those provided in the kit. Anyone have similar trouble or...

    Really Annoying Problem

    Haha cheers for the replies lads - as to whether I have sausage fingers will have to ask the missus that?!?! I can do the bulb change no problem - in fact the fact I have done it so many times it is a familiar procedure is what made me write the post!!! My point is what is causing my car...

    Really Annoying Problem

    Hi, Has anyone experienced problems with their passenger side side light bulb? I have lost count of the number of times I have changed it. Seems to need a new bulb every month! I wouldn't mind so much but it is a bit of a faff to change - what with removing the fuse box etc. Is this...

    Removing Roof Lining...?

    Have just got round to replacing the paseenger side interior bulb (the one under the sun visor) which always irrated me because it didn't work. What I have actually discovered is the bulb is not even connected - the cable which runs into it is hanging free inside the roof lining! The...

    Anyone used the Ilkeston Renault dealer before?

    Diamond motors in Long Eaton isn't too far from there and Mike (who posts on here occasionally) quoted me approx £420 for this including the water pump change.

    Bumper not flush with wing

    I have this problem and was just about to post asking the exact same thing. I remember when Woody first saw my car the first thing he said was "bloody bumper clips have gone." Went to Renault - they were absolutely useless! Think I will try Sims way. Do you literally just need to wedge the...

    replacing brembo pins

    Had issues removing mine the first time I had the car serviced after purchase. Had to have the pins cut out they were well and truly seized. Lesson learnt, when i swapped my discs and pads a year later they came out without a hitch. I now have the alternative style pin that user mrpink was...

    £80 for front bumper removal?

    The best bit of advice I could give you is to always have the right tools for the job. I'd never done any work of my own in ten years of car ownership. But since I got the 197 have done my own oil change twice, fitted new pads and discs front an rear as well as changing the front bulbs more...

    R3 airbox

    Just to be clear - can you fit this mod by swapping the battery for a Varley Redtop - I would be interested but don't want to have to move the battery to the boot!

    South West/ Nottingham - Cam Belt & Water Pump Change

    I'm just past the five year point and need to get the Cam Belt changed. After reading around on here I'm going to get the water pump squared away at the same time. Will buy all parts myself. What I am after is a recccomendation for a decent place to do the labour so I can avoid getting...

    Accident Damage!

    BTW could anyone tell me if the door skins from a regular clio would be compatible with the sport? This would increase my options!
