    Looking to get the center silencer chopped from my 220T very shortly - I'm based in Solihull so looking for any exhaust specialists/garage recommendations around the Solihull/B'ham area. A friend recommended TipTop Exhausts on the Lichfield Rd, but despite generally good reviews online there's...

    Clio 220 Trophy

    So after 3 fun filled years with my Clio 197, I finally decided it was time for something new... I originally started out looking at early 200T's and then somehow @Micah got involved :tonguewink: and pointed me in the direction of the later models with the updated interior. After looking at a...

    Another headlight problem!

    So after both of my sidelights going pop, I've replaced them and confirmed they're working ok...(pretty certain all lights were functioning 100% ok as I specifically checked everything after replacing the bulbs). Now a week later, it seems my drivers side high beam is stuck on when the dipped...

    Sidelights stopped working

    Both sidelights seem to have stopped working at the same time, is it safe to assume this is down to a blown fuse? The dash still lights up so I assume the stalk is fine, both bulbs are relatively new (1-year ish) Assuming it is a fuse, does anyone have any info on where the fuse is for the...

    New noise developed under the bonnet ...

    New squealing noise developed today in the engine bay. Only happens at idle, once moving/accelerating it stops. Aux Belt maybe? Video here will hopefully help - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LRvn_eZWq3o

    Stress marks in paint/minor bump

    Had a very minor bump yesterday (my own fault) F**K :thumbdown: Anyway, it doesn't look like it will go via insurance as there was no visible damage to either car, less than 1mph bumper to bumper. Apologized profusely, traded phone numbers, grabbed some quick photos and both on our way. Got...

    Do any companies do a Stage 1 package deal?

    Just a general query - do any (reputable) companies do a sort of stage 1 bundle for the MK3 Clios? Specifically I'm looking for like cat-back exhaust, fitting and remap for X price? Didn't know if any companies offered some sort of bundle deal like "buy the exhaust, get free fitting and 10%...

    MTEC Disc Coating

    Just thought id post this up here for those considering paying extra for the coating on MTEC discs (Silver Coating in this particular case) - I don't know if this coating has a "life span" but certainly my rear brake discs have rusted just like any other. Front's seem to be faring a little...

    Creaking over speed bumps

    I was driving my Clio yesterday over some speed bumps and was hearing a horrible creaking sound from the front end. Oddly enough, I've been back over the same speed bumps today, same speed, phone at the ready to record and nothing happened...typical Sounded to me like a rusty spring, sort of...

    Windscreen Frozen INSIDE

    I don't know why, but this always seems to happen to me with every car I own! Woke up this morning and the Clio was fairly icy on the inside of the windscreen... I've got a PINGI dehumidifier pad in the car (basically a bag full of silica gel) which seems to have been working quite well...

    Cruise / Speed Limiter button - no lights

    Noticed yesterday that the switch for Cruise Control and Speed Limiter is dark - they're normally illuminated orange. Is this likely a bulb behind the switch? Fuse? Easy job/DIY fix? ETA: the ESP button which sits next to cruise/limit, is still illuminated

    S707 STI - Those Recaros look familiar!

    No idea if the Clio was the first car to use these Recaros, but it looks like the new limited edition S207 STI has opted for them! They look fantastic in that leather finish, hopefully more hard-wearing than the Clio's too...

    Discs and Pads - better option than MTEC?

    Car is only used on the road, no track use. Need both discs and pads for all 4 corners. I've priced up from MTEC - Front Drilled Only Discs (£87.99) + Brembo Pads (£36) = Total £123.99 Rear Drilled Only Discs (149.99) + Mintex Pads (£14.69) = Total £164.68 Is this the best value for money...

    Heater / Fan Speed Connector (pics inside)

    Ok so I finally made the time to remove the glovebox and take a look at this fan speed issue (fan speed not working on #2 and #4). And found the following - So, it's definitely well and truly melted - which is what I pretty much expected to find. In order to fix this - does that...

    How do you remove door handle sensors??

    Clio has annoying issue that the drivers side door doesn't unlock with keyless entry. Passenger side and boot are fine, both lock and unlock. Drivers door lock button also works fine. presumably this narrows the issue down to the little black sensor only? I was was under the impression this...
