I currently drive a basic spec 1.2. I bought it as I'd dropped hours at work and wanted a car I knew I could afford to run and had a timing chain (no expensive belt changes hopefully). I added some alloys and bits to it aswell (see pics elsewhere on this forum) and I think it looks nice. I've...

Yes, definitely needs a clean, although it looks a bit more rallyesque (is that even a word?) with a bit of muck on it

And a couple of colour shots.

Thought I'd better update mine since photobucket stopped the direct links. Some 'arty' black and white shots of my Micra.

To be honest, if you are available during the days on Fridays in September I could be tempted to pop down and get them fitted. I live near Durham so not *that* far away.

Cheers, I might be but it might not be for a couple of months until I get extra cash together as I'll need to get garage to fit them aswell.

A couple of pics after faffing about with photo editor.

They didn't have the Suzuka's unfortunately so ended up getting Calibre Motion 2 in Gunmetal. I've also put some wind deflectors on too. They look nice, but there is still a gap in wheel arch. Is yours lowered johnH? If so by how much?

That looks really nice. I'm hoping to get some Calibre Suzuka's to go on my white Micra. The steel 13's with wheel trims look poop.

I'm thinking of getting some 15" x 6.5 alloys for my K13 but I'm not sure what tyre size I should get or that will fit. Does anyone have a recommendation?

Got it sorted. Apparently every time you turn the ignition off it 'resets' the timer. Left the ignition on for over an hour without turning it off and it let me put the code in.

My wife has managed to lock her CD player after the car battery was replaced by entering the wrong code too many times. It still says 'Wait 1 hour' even though it's been a lot, lot longer than an hour! Just wondered how I would go about getting it sorted. I do know what the radio code is but...

Yeah it is, so I'm pretty sure it needs the belt. To be fair the garage I use has been pretty good in the past for both mine and my wifes K12 1.0E micra. Apart from this problem my car has been good (perfect) for a solid 61k miles (apart from tyres and a set of pads) with me driving it quite...

Dear God. Just had to have a new drivers door lock assembly replaced as my door had stopped opening from the inside for a week. Total cost - £200!!! Was thinking it might cost £50. Is this about normal? My car will also be due a timing belt change at it's next service. How much do you reckon...

Just to bump this, has there been any more progress?

Although it is common knowledge that clio's and micras share parts which clio is it that it is the same as? Is it the current shape (197/200 style) or the one before (172/182 style)? If the parts are shared why don't companies seem to advertise the parts for both? There seem to be an awful...

I've had my K12 diesel ('25' limited edition) for coming up to 3 years. I've had zero problems with it and it's done 46000 miles. It's nippy (it's the 82 or 86 bhp version - I think the older versions are only 65 but are easily remapped up to 82 - they share the Renault Clio engine), does...

Ha! Funny, but so true. Done that a few times myself. You'll probably find the battery goes flat again in a few weeks and need a new battery - happened to me (well my wifes car actually). Went to halfords and batteries were around £75! Shocking. I managed to pick a new one off the net for £40...

I'm thinking of getting mine done too. I also joined another forum cliodci.net which is a useful site seeing as we share engines with the Clio. If I'm right I think it's the injectors that actually restrict the amount of power you can get. The turbo itself is ok for approx 150-160 bhp and the...
