    LY Clio R27 SV07JGO

    Hi all I haven't spotted it unfortunately but it's my old car and I wondered who owns it now? I have the plaque for it and want to give it back to the new owner! :) Matt

    bad leak from somewhere :(

    My 200 is leaking quite badly, but I haven't got a clue where from. The boot is constantly damp, as are the back seats. Even when the car hasn't moved between a rain shower, there's more water, so it must be leaking from a higher point on the car, rather than being kicked up from underneath it...

    Have to leave my Clio for 6 months :(

    I've managed to fluke a Ski Technician/driver job in Courchevel this winter from December to April... ...Which sadly means leaving my baby back home. :scared: What should I do to prepare it for its loneliest winter? Unfortunately I can't even leave it in my parents' drive. (and we have a...

    Random warning lights

    I had the flexis on my car replaced yesterday (which was one hell of a job), but once I drove away the service light, air bag light and ESP warning lights were on. Wierdly, a couple of times when I started the car it would pull heavily to the left and the T/C would kick in randomly and keep...

    Split flexi pipe in exhaust

    About 3 weeks ago I got the clutch and gearbox replaced on the 200. As soon as I drove it away (and more noticeably when cold) there was a kind of vibration sound coming from behind the centre console. I went back to renault for them to have a look and they reckolned it was the exhaust shield...

    Gearbox under warranty

    Firstly, hope this is an ok place to put this, seeing as this isn't about the gearbox itself... I've just dropped my car off at renault for a new gearbox under warranty (an arnold clark auto care warranty). I've been told the total bill will be £2400, but unfortunately the warranty will only...

    Upgrading cup steering wheel

    Absolutely love the feel of the non cup wheels, feel so chunky! Was wondering if it's possible to fit that wheel to a cup? I know the cruise and radio buttons will be in the way but is there a way to just swap the rim of it?

    New gearbox under warranty

    Unfortunately the gearbox is on it's way out on the cup, but luckily I have a warranty. Apparently the max warranty payout on one claim is £2k and I'm pretty sure a new box + labour will be more than that. What's the best way to work it so that I can do it cheaper? I know you can get a new box...

    Ball joint

    Just had my 200 MOT'd at the garage I work at which was a scary experience. The mechanics love to take the piss of my car (one of them has a 206 GTi and a 205 GTi and refuses to admit my car is better and faster than the 206) and one of them kept telling me it was failing on everything, which...

    Akra edition front bumper vinyl

    I haven't a clue how these things work but I was wondering if there was a code (?) or the dimensions or something of the black vinyl bit on the bottom of the front bumper on the akra clio so I can get it cut? If not is there someone who I could buy it off?? Really want to get it!

    h&r springs on an 09 200

    I've heard people mention that earlier 200's like mine have a different (smaller?) top mount. If I'm gonna buy h&r's will I need to make sure they're the right ones, or will all h&r 200 springs be cool? Cheers

    Headlight beam really low

    Last night I fitted my new black headlights, and it all went suprisingly well... until I drove home. The light beam was pointing really low and even on full beams I could barely see well enough to drive. urghhh, this wasn't a job I wanted to do again! When I went over bumps I could see the beam...

    Tools to take off front bumper

    I got my new headlights in the post this morning, but I'm at uni (with no proper tool kit) and I'm not sure what tools I need, so I don't wanna start and then realise I can't finish!! Anyone know whats needed? I've got a T20 torx screwdriver and can probs get hold of some standard screw drivers

    Brake work!

    I bought my new 200 cup a few weeks ago, and have just taken it to the garage I work at to have a look over the brakes which are clearly shot! Apparently, the N/S/R caliper has failed, and it's going to need a new caliper, 4 new discs and a complete set of pads. ouchhhh!!! :( Where's the best...
