    Door handle lock button not working?

    Chris, I'll have it off you. Spoke to Karl and you have to buy the complete kit when all I need is the part with the button. Which side is it? PM me with details. Thanks

    Door handle lock button not working?

    I bet that is why mine stopped working. I went to a hand car wash and usually wash the car myself. Bummer!!!!!!

    Door handle lock button not working?

    Will be doing both of mine soon. Read the 'how to' on here that looks pretty comprehensive. Post if there are any gotchas I should know about. Thanks

    V Power nitro

    I use v-power all the time and filled up with Nitro. So far, no difference. Read the blurb on Nitro and it looks more like marketing than anything else. Both fuels have good cleaning agents so what's supposed to be the difference?

    Door handle lock button not working?

    And me :-( Passenger handle has always been dodgy but never had a problem with the driver handle until yesterday. Just read the 'how to' remove the handles to change them. Seems a lot if work and I'm worried that if I do, I'll end up with rattles!!!!

    iOS 6.1.3 drains my battery

    Not a stupid question as I have met enough people who don't do this!!! Yes I close my apps. I would say battery drains about 25% quicker. Come on Apple, sort this out.

    iOS 6.1.3 drains my battery

    Last few days have noticed a much faster drain on the battery since updating. Thought nothing of it until I was chatting to another iphone user who said the same thing. Has this happened to you?

    Fed up!

    Shame you're getting fed up. My car isn't great on the motorway with the original gear ratios but it is a joy elsewhere. It also has 56k on the clock and no rattles at all. Seems that you get a good or bad car with little in the middle. Final point, I didn't buy the cup chassis specifically for...

    Mk4 clios

    Saw a mk4 Clio on the road today Have to say it is much nicer in the flesh than any picture. Not sure what the official name for the colour is but I call it 'piss yellow' and the bumpers and side mouldings were gloss black. Actually looks nice. The front of the car is great in the flesh...

    A surprising amount of trolling in this thread. Very unlike this site!!!!

    197: Cup chassis or no cup chassis

    You won't be disappointed. I asked the same question when I bought my 197, and as I don't drive it 'like I stole it' all the time am very happy with the standard setup. Having owned or driven most hot hatches, I am always pleasantly surprised just how complient the ride is (not at all crashy...

    Dorset Owners are all miserable ****s

    That might be true if you drove a box standard Ford Focus but 197/200 Clios are an enthusiasts choice and rare as rocking horse **** so a much greater chance that a fellow enthusiast is driving. Sadly, I also rarely get any response!!!!

    Face lift Ford Fiesta makes the new clio look....bad?

    Fiesta ST looks much nicer than new Clio. Biggest problem ST has is the type of driver that will buy them in a couple of years.

    Please be careful when de icing

    For £30k you can buy a BMW that will allow you to program what time you want the car to demist before you leave the house!!!!!

    Ouch, bit of bad luck.

    Does this damage the gearbox? I'm sure I read that a member on here had issues after starting to leave the car in gear when parked.

    Turbo Clio 200 prices

    I agree with you that many owners won't take their cars on the track and I like a spirited drive as much as the next guy but I have owned too many cars over the years that are underbraked, even for the road. The clio may be over braked but I love my Brembos and they are worth the money it...

    Turbo Clio 200 prices

    This +++++++ :german: What makes this harder is that the germans are dropping the prices of the base models (think new 135) so would you have a no frills BMW or a fully loaded Renault with residuals that are going to fall off a cliff?

    Turbo Clio 200 prices

    These pics look much nicer than the Yellow one in the mags (I love LY) and I agree the car will be very colour sensitive. I'm going to stick my neck out and say the white car looks nice, but it still doesn't have the visual impact that a bespoke wide body has I didn't know that. I assume...
