Hi guys,
I’ve noticed the black trim at the driver’s side that should be flush with the windscreen is lifting.
I can’t see any way to secure it back down unless there’s a broken clip I can’t find?
So maybe the plastic has warped over time?
Any suggestions?

Dear all,
During the recent cold snap my Clio got very little use and now bizarrely has begun to rev high when idling.
With no throttle it sits there revving up to 2k, and once warm fluctuates between 1k and 2k, just going up and down if it’s own accord.
The electric warning light then came...
Hello!
My Trophy just passed her 100,000 mile birthday!
Can someone advise me at what mileage stages the various essential maintenance needs to be done as I’m sure she’s due.
I’m thinking belts and any other stuff that needs doing?
Cheers

Has anyone had any experience of K-Tex?
When I got my Trophy she had a few subtle mods (Intake and exhaust). It looks like she may need at least the exhaust replacing and don’t fancy going back to ‘stock’ and have read about these guys.
I know traditionally Trophy owners are purists, but has...
Hi guys,
I’m looking into getting a respray as the old girl’s paint could do with a new least of life, but does anyone know if the side and rear ‘Trophy’ decals are still available? If not has anyone ever got some new ones knocked up by a firm somewhere? Any recommendations?
Hi chaps,
For quite a while now my girl has been running like a dream and I have a local garage who know there onions.
But recently I’ve been thinking I’d like to get a Clio specialist under the bonnet to give her a ‘proper’ check, for all the stuff specific to Clios that a regular grease...
So for the last few weeks my Trophy's start ups have been getting.... Bumpy.
Turn the ignition... and instead of starting straight away, the sound of everything 'turning over' but no actual engine ignition. (think of the sound of a car not starting in the movies and you've got the sound is the...
About a week ago my right dipped headlight stopped working.
Sidelights, fogs and full beam are all fine.
Last night the left one failed. Same lights all work.
Ive looked at various threads and seen it may be fuses or the relay. But I don't know 'which' fuses, and have looked behind the glove...
Hello!
I bottomed out in a pot hole the other day, and after a juddery trip on the motorway have finally got her up on a ramp and notice I have a 'flat spot' on my front offside wheel.
So...
1) does anyone know a place in the midlands that can straighten alloys out? (no idea if this is even...
My dampers will need looking at soon (feeling a bit sticky at slow speeds and making an odd clunking noise) and have already spoken to BG (£430 all in with a 5 day turn-around) and thought I'd give Cornering Force a call to see what they would charge etc.
However the website is down and can't...
