The main earth strap looks ok but i will give it a clean up anyway. Have googled it to death and found lots of people with the problem but never any real answers. They all seem to have a different fix sadly thus i started another cutting out thread to add to the many 😂.

Right my car (Ph2 172) has developed another issue (well it is French). What is happeneing is that the car is cutting out and either restarts right away on the key or needs a few mins rest before it will start again. it will then run for a few mins or die as soon as i start moving again. I will...

Right had a wee issue on and off last year through the sprints and hills season that ultimately left the car unable to move. Issue is the wee diagnostic light comes on and i then have no throttle. I changed out the throttle body (no joy) and pedal. Got throttle again the fault is still appearing...

Thanks for the replies, will see what i can find in my local breakers as long as they don't get upset with me stripping driveshafts off to get to what i need. Yup i'm aware of the wee bit extra work to get them to fit.

Cool thanks for that :up:.

Thanks for the reply North just the info needed. RE: jb3 box. A diff and different final drive is in the long term development of the car when funds allow. May be a torsen type diff rather than a gripper though. My current box needs changing anyway so a JB3 could be worth a punt especially if...

Sadly have short arms and normal pockets, thus thinking of scrapyard solutions like i did with my ford puma that ran a 1.4 puma box for the shorter diff ratio and i even manged not to break it as well. Had spotted Bacci romano and spent some time using gear calculators to find the best diff...

Hi all new to Clio ownership. Well Nov last year. I have a ph2 172 that i use for sprints and hillclimbs in Scotland. The gearbox is typical high mileage crunchy Renault box. Other than the crunchy syncros the ratios themselves are not the best for the short sharp blasts that i do. This has...
