Welcome Seems like you're in the ideal location for owning a Clio! Right next to the Brecons!

As you've said, it's well worth joining as a paid member before buying a Clio - have a read though as much of the forum as you can and you'll very quickly pick up the important bits to look out for when buying your Clio.

To get you started - 2 things I overlooked when bought mine - 2 of the 4 fan speeds weren't working (speed #2 and #4), keyless entry on the drivers door didn't work (test both doors and the boot for keyless entry and locking using the button on the door handle).

 

[roachy1994]

Ohh sorry didn't realise I apologise and thanks you pav

 

[roachy1994]

Thanks guys for the advice and yeah I will most probably become a paid member later after work thanks for the pointers

Fan Speed is now fixed, although not something I did myself - details and pics in this thread here: http://www.clio197.net/forum/showthread.php?50090-Heater-Fan-Speed-Connector-(pics-inside)

And the keyless entry, for me it's just the unlock that doesn't work, the lock button works fine. Not something I'll tackle myself and I've just been living with it for now. Unfortunately discs, pads, service and a wheel refurb is top of the list before I can think about getting the keyless entry looked at

[MENTION=52455]CallorFold[/MENTION] Thanks i'll have a look at that mate. Ahh I see mines the opposite, I just wondered if it would have been a quick fix with the locking as its really annoying.. having to get my keys out to lock every time, it has worked at some point.
I'm the same, have a lot of things that are priority over that, there's always something to be spending money on!

[MENTION=52040]matt9566[/MENTION] As far as I know, the fix is a new door handle for both the issue of the lock button not working, and the keyless entry door opening.

Requires a strip down of the door basically, door card off etc. There is a guide in the How To for stripping down the door and removing the handle, but it looks a but full-on for me to tackle personally and I don't even really know what I'm looking for even if I did manage to take everything apart!

[MENTION=52455]CallorFold[/MENTION] Yeah I thought that would be the case, would be a bit full on for me too i'm definitely not very mechanically/electrically confident. I'll just get everything else done that I want to do then if any spare money does become available then i'll look in to getting it sorted. Thanks for all the info anyway!
