Subscribed just cos you have sound taste in reliable small cars! Daughter has acquired her mum’s, a year 2000 model, it’s called a Clio mk2 phase 1 because it’s the early 8-valve engine. Slower, but better in cam belts. Yes, women love this feature, when it came out in 2000, it was one of the earliest cars to have it. I’ve got a tale to relate as to why even big tough guys should enable this feature, or manually lock their vehicles on entering…so I wait outside the hospital where our eldest works, near this shop. I sit quietly, sometimes she’s late, patients don’t always stay ill to order (!). I see this guy, I happen to notice him, he walks to the shop, walks back to where he lives nearby i assume. I then notice him again, in my mirror, as he reappears out of the side road from where i am parked. You know that thing, where you ‘expect a certain trajectory’ of something that passes through your mirror’s blind spot? Well, I’, waiting for him to ‘reappear’ after he’s walked along the pavement where I am parked, enters my blind spot… …then he does not reappear at the expected second, so i begin to turn to look around, at which point he’s ragging on the door handle. Buy a girl a drink first. I look at him steadfastly. He keeps yanking on the handle, and nods down to it. I look back and just say ‘what do you want?’ He keeps trying the handle. After a few seconds of this, the large volvo in front, barks his horn repeatedly. I look over there, and then suddenly the guy lets go of the handle, and after a second, heads for the volvo and nods an apology to me. I don;t know what kind of a meeting is arranged, where somebody does not tell you what car they will be in. It’s the first thing you settle. Daughter and i decided, drug courier is what this man was. So, take a moment, and imagine if I had left the car unlocked, embarrassed at being ‘girly’ and having it locked all the time? That guy, would’ve been sat next to me, within seconds of ragging on the handle. Then what? What kinda convo we gonna have? I dunno, but i don;t want it. Take care all. PS sunroofs always leak, get a good day and remove, and re-seal with black silicone sealant, and it’s good…fills the passenger side with water in my case…if cannot do it right away, buy black duck tape, the good proper ‘Duck’ brand. You want to put one narrow layer of tape on, this is the waterproofing layer, then another broader layer over the top, this is the weather proofing ie absorbs all the UV etc, the drying-out of the sun on the adhesive, etc. Ours is still dry after ten years.
Nice one dude.. Just bought mk2 1.5dci..boss little runner but few things to do on it, couple electrical gremlins etc.. I'm compiling a play list on here for all blogs that offer help and tricks etc.. Yours will be Assimilated into the collective😉👍🏻
The 1.5dci is my favourite engine cheap tax and they go well. I had the 80bhp model and it was nippy around the country lanes it was a blast. I now have a 1.4 semi auto clio 2005 that I picked up cheap the other week good knows what I'll do with it yet, I might insure it and use it as a run about lol
@@TomSimonss Yes mate just unclip it then keep tilting it up until the front clips just slip out. I'm sure you'll find a demonstration on here somewhere.
Had same problem,had to calm down and try passenger side with key less than quarter turn will unlock it and the other direction will lock it again .get a cheap new battery from europarts(£38) and some jump leads .they wear out quick if you do mainly short trips cos they don't get charged properly of the fan belt/engine,or you can sit a few minutes with engine running before cutting engine and it will recharge if your battery is getting old.
The only thing id like you to improve are the camera angles, it would look waaay more proffesional and would help with explaining (maybe a gopro on your head or something homemade)
Best car for new drivers easy to park and drive.
Exactly!!

That’s crazy! Glad you are ok
Yeah I've got 05 clio mk 2 I've took the sunroof off and it fits back in perfectly fine no leaks, mint with the glass out
Nice!
Mate I got a old Clio today and that roof trick is well cool .
Good tips, hope this finds well and good 😎😎😎
Enjoy the car man!
Nice one dude.. Just bought mk2 1.5dci..boss little runner but few things to do on it, couple electrical gremlins etc.. I'm compiling a play list on here for all blogs that offer help and tricks etc.. Yours will be Assimilated into the collective😉👍🏻
Glad I could help :)))

I defo wanna go back to a clio one day
Maaan! The second one is really fucking usefull! Cheers matee
Welcome mate :)
Quick question bro did you change your gear stick knob and if so how does it come of 😎
I only changed the insert, comes out with a trim tool. To change the actual knob you need to cut it off
I bought a custom gear stick and I’m not able to change it could you explain how I could put it on? It’s jus some aluminium knob
Yes mate the sunroof does come out very easy. Its a thing lol 😆
Should’ve tried it :)
@@TomSimonss Yes mate just unclip it then keep tilting it up until the front clips just slip out. I'm sure you'll find a demonstration on here somewhere.
Get a haircut bruv…. The birds already out
It’s been 3 years buddy wake up
That door lock trick is nice in a rough situation but I never use it. Imagine people trying to help you when you have an accident. Take care
Very true!
Nice video mate, I have the Megane CC 2005, it also has auto door locks, which I use.
It’s a great feature!
@@TomSimonss it certainly is gives good peace of mind from a safety aspect 👍
Alright mate I’m wondering if the Plug in FM Bluetooth transmitters work for this car?
Not sure sorry bud
I have one in my MK3 Clio and it works fine
What stereo system did u install? Could I have a link please I love the videos
I don’t know the specifics, it’s a Kenwood tho. Thank you for the support
what radio is that? Does it come with Bluetooth?
It’s a Kenwood something, comes with Bluetooth and Spotify
They didn't stop making them in 05, mines an 06.
The mk3 came out in 06, so most 06 mk2’s are a 05 car registered in 06
Micheal, you're right the campus is the same and I've seen them on 10 plates and onwards!!
Campus is a different story of course
Yes press the red button and pull the whole glass panel out 👌
Might try it in summer :)
@@TomSimonss I had to take mine off to see why it was leaking 😂🤔
Locked out of my Renault Clio. Lights left on all night?
What do I do to open as keys won't work... Bank Holiday Monday???
Can someone help...
I’m unsure, sorry :(
There’s the lock on the passenger door??

This was just a quick video to make. I have other ones with better camera angles! Thank you for the support!
