    Windscreen washer jets

    Should have said, the Fiat/alfa/Lancia ones need 'trimmed' to fit properly. Not hard to do with a sharp craft knife or similar.

    led registration bulbs

    I had mine in 2 years or so. Got them from HIDs direct. Weren't the cheapest out there but seemed to be better quality than most.

    Windscreen washer jets

    I have Fiat/Alfa Romeo/Lancia one fitted to my Clio. Were great even at 140mph on the autobahn.

    Next new toy

    I sold my bike a few weeks ago as I wasn't using it. 4,500 miles in 5 years says it all really bug I miss it already. Loved getting out for a blast, even 10-20 miles was great. Health to enjoy!

    Child seat recommendations plz?

    You need to be careful with child seats I know some have had issues with actually getting them in the car if you Recaros fitted. As you know they don't leave a lot of room or squeeze a child seat into the back seat.

    Right tyres?

    Do yourself a favour and don't. Why people rate these tyres truly baffles me. At best they are average. Yes they may well have won't that test but it's a very narrow selection of tyres they tested most likely on a diesel Focus/Astra/Golf etc. Something like a Bridgestone Potenza RE050a...

    Will a 197 front coil spring fit a 2009 200

    Yep, that they are or so centre been told anyway. The cups are harder and the non cups softer (though both are only slightly). Physically though it will fit.

    Second Hand Key Fob Reprogramming - 2012 Clio RS200

    Not much use to you I know but my mate (a mechanic with his own garage) can supply and code a new key for £85, . I'm sure there will be someone similar closer to you. He wasn't sure if you could recode an old one when I asked him today.

    It's a bumper off job. It's attached from the back.

    Right tyres?

    The Continentals are not a great tyre esp at the price they charge for them there are many better tyres for similar money, I know there are many others on here that feel the same way. Take this opportunity get away from them, you'll be happy you did. As long as the tyres are the same across an...

    197/200 official Ring time?

    There's not much distance between the bridge and the gantry. You could easily cover it in 10 seconds (most likely half that) on a closed track day as its a flat out straight. Still makes for a mighty quick time in a Clio.

    Second Hand Key Fob Reprogramming - 2012 Clio RS200

    When I got a new key (replaced under warranty) I know I was told they also reprogrammed the old one though it was for the same car. I now have 3 keys though the keyless doesn't work on one hence it was replaced.

    MTEC H7 Headlight Bulbs - Review

    I've used both (in addition to others) , and the Nightbreakers are by far and away the best of the bunch. Choosing bulbs on the colour of the light is madness in my mind. What I want is light on the road so I can see where I'm going not so other think I'm cool or whatever. I personally...

    ford focus st 2.5 or seat leon cupra 240

    I owned on for 4 years, great cars and pretty trouble free. The cylinder lining thing mentioned above only affects a small number of cars made in early 2007 I believe and has been overhyped like so many things. Oil filter housings can fail, mine did, but it's an easy fix costing around...

    Tyre Width Change?

    I'm guessing they're around £70 a tyre. For that money you could get Bridgestone Potenza RE070s in a 225 width. I've been running these for two summers now and they are a great tyre.

    New tyres

    I love my Bridgestone Potenza RE070S. Though you'd be have to go to a 225 width tyre.

    Induction Kit

    These cars are all about handling, a decent set of tyres goes a long way allowing you to keep speed up in the corners.

    Induction Kit

    gemma.l it's the wrong car to be hunting power increases on as the engine doesn't respond well without spending large amounts of cash. The best you can really hope for is not loosing power with the cheaper mods. It's not unknown for a filter, exhaust and remap to add only 4-5 bhp.
