Yeah, just 2 wires sticking out of the trim. Again, cheers for the info

Thanks turkie, I'm actually wondering why I never thought of just getting one from another clio. Doh.

I accidentally knocked off an interior alarm sensor on a tip run. I cannot find it now. To prevent the alarm going off, should I keep the wires connected or separate? Tried both with limited success. I am guessing people who have stripped interior for track days can advise

It was a battery cover which was stuck. The bonnet actually just popped back into place itself. Wonder if it is worth sending pics to customer services.

I think you guys are right, but not sure how to go about getting repair/refund. Call kwik-fit main dealer and forward on pictures?

Didn't have much time and needed a set of pads-what could go wrong? Lol

The car had new pads and a brake fluid change yesterday. The wife finished work and in the light I noticed the bumper sitting high it the firewall end. On closer inspection, the 'mechanic' has shut the bonnet on what looks like a battery cover next to the hinge on near side. I haven't opened the...

Oh, I'm not a good enough driver to exploit RWD. Owned an RX8-great in the dry, I was a girl in the wet. My Impreza Type R was rear bias with the diff open and it used to lose the back end often. I swear I can do the same b road faster in the 197 than my old impreza(could do 0-60 in 4.2 and...

Test drove an R26 when we bought the clio. It was silver(not nice in that colour in my opinion) and a bit rough. Clio suited the wife better. I loved the feel, it was confidence inspiring. I just wonder how well it is screwed together - 6 years on. I reckon whatever comes up near me in my...

I'm still stuck with this. I had a brillant drive in the (wifes)clio yesterday and still, I want it(or similar) as my main car. If I could have a clio which was - -less buzzy/revvy on the motorway at normal speed -More stable when cruising on the motorway I would jump at it. Does the DC5...

I am looking at spending 8-10k on another car to have alongside our 197. I have a diesel vectra which I no longer need for towing(my old track car). Ideally the car will be chuckable like the clio, safe, modern, good handling and about as quick as the clio(at this rate I will end up with a...

I have 2 spare used hub carriers which were replaced for new to get my car through the MOT. Bottom Ball joints had excessive play. I needed the car so couldn't wait for RSport to send the ball joints out.

Did you ever do this? One on mine has massive play and the other slight. I can hold a spanner but don't fancy getting so far and having to give up - with the car in bits.

Is this part definately different to the lower joint on other Renaults? I guess the arm is different, but the ball? Just I found: http://catalogue.faiauto.com/parts/SS6101#anchor These are available widely at motorfactors(ands micsgarage as posted earlier)

Think I found them: Tie rods 2 x 7701475837 Track rod ends 1 x 7701474795 1 x 7701474796 I will correct this if it is not right.
