    change tyres round

    The point is ... assuming your rear tyres are unlikely to wear out just on the rear (fwd car) , they are more likely to hit the 6 year expiry and start cracking meaning you have to replace them anyway. May aswell rotate them to the front and get more wear out of them , put new ones on the rear...

    change tyres round

    Providing you have somewhere flat to do the jacking I would invest in the trolley Jack and axle stands , you only have to Jack your car up a few times and it's paid for itself. Plus other maintenance jobs can be done saving you more money.

    change tyres round

    Yes - i rotate tyres, new ones go on the rear and then swap to front when front wear down. You can jack the clio at the front and also lift the rear wheel off the ground when you get it high enough (use an axle stand too!), can easily swap front and rear then.

    Stress marks in paint/minor bump

    I would say that's down to the painter , they should have blended it better into the panel rather than doing just a bumper in isolation.

    Stress marks in paint/minor bump

    Fire some pics up, should be easier to tell then. When washing my car my front bumper had become dislodged like you mentioned - must have been nudged by someone, luckily it just clipped back in - both a +ve and -ve as its probably the reason why it popped out in the first place. Not sure on...

    197 climate control doesn't change temperature? (Only blows cold at lowest)

    Had this on my 182, needed a new climate control unit which fixed the problem and was a cheap fix.
