So that I can find out who is active in the South West, who would be interested in events and so I can put a name to the car at said events, can everyone post up a picture of your car, your local area and your instagram name please. Thanks boys & girls :smiley:

March 25th @ 8:30am Cardinals Hatt, Saltash PL12 6PJ. Our first area meet of the new year, so hopefully as many of you guys and girls can attend as possible. We are going to start off by meeting at The Cardinals Hatt in Saltash for an unlimited cooked breakfast, a chance for everyone to meet...

Apologies if this isn't allowed, but if anyone is South West based, or even if your thinking of attending but don't have a club to show with we have some stand space available, and 90% of the cars attending with us are all RenaultSports and we are all a good bunch, no idiots...

Well I've returned to Clio ownership with a lovely Liquid yellow 182, owned by a fellow club member (Will). I've been looking for a LY 182 for a while, and this one came available almost as soon as my old car was sold with pretty much all my requirements, such as the Liquid yellow paint and the...

Wondering if anyone can help... I have a Clio 172 phase2, however I am struggling to get to the bottom of a recent problem. When the car is cold, it struggles to idle and the revs bounce up and down and if you use the throttle then back off the revs drop down and 9 times out of 10 it will cut...

There's a few of us going on a moors run in a couple of weeks, doing some photos then grabbing some food after if anyone is interested. Just join up to the facebook group and the event details are pinned to the top. Cheers. https://www.facebook.com/groups/1757931594494609/

I'd advertised the Megane on a few forums and facebook groups and had a fair bit of interest, one of the cars I was offered without me travelling up the country to possibly be greeted with a shed of a car, was the Clio 172 below. The car is fairly well known amongst Cliosport members as was...

Hope no one minds, but figured we are all Renault Sport / Clio fans so if anyone's interested there is a group of us that hold a monthly Plymouth meet in Plymouth. Last few meets have been quite popular, nice friendly bunch no chavs just car talk and coffee/hot chocolate/whatever you fancy...

Hi people, thought I would make an introduction post... Have had a few performance french cars in the past (Clio 172, saxo vtr, 106 xsi track car to name a few), as well as numerous other cars but have recently returned to the world of french car ownership after needing a fun, cheap second car...

Updated my iPhone at the weekend as prompted when I connected it up to sync it, however after backing up and then attempting to update the phone it comes up with an error message and then says cannot restore. I had to use a separate pc to get it to even power up again properly and since then...

Is there anything that could be causing a rear shock to fail on a frequent basis? I've replaced the rear shocks but the drivers side one I have replaced twice in two weeks, but not the passenger side :( Any thoughts?

What would be an acceptable amount of movement in the bushes when rocking the steering from side to side? The ones on my 172 move about an inch either side when the steering is being turned - is this normal? Reason I ask is the front of the car feels vague and the steering doesnt feel as...

When stationary my ph1 172 has developed a clicking from the passenger side wheel suspension when turning, it's only at one exact point of the turn as well just two clicks.... Any ideas what it might be? Thanks.

Does anyone have, or know the part number for the small sport badge that goes on the doors, where they would on a 172 cup. They just say "sport" and thinking about them for my 172.... Thanks :)

Asking a favour, can people please post up pictures of ph1 172's with front splitters fitted, and what type they are as I want some inspiration.... :)

Im looking into getting some new tyres for my ph1 172, as every tyre currently fitted is different to the next one! :( (blame the previous owner). Anyway, I am looking at either the Yokohama Parada Spec2 tyres Or a set of Toyo Proxes Proxys T1-R tyres Has anyone had any experiences with...

In a few magazines I saw an advert for some plastic (i think) coloured alloy wheel edges that could be used instead of the rim tape you can buy, however I cannot find any info or the website that sold these, can anyone help me out? Cheers. :)

On my ph1 172 my oil light illuminates slightly when the engine is off. When driving it does not light up/flash and oil level is fine too. Any ideas what it means or what could be causing this? Thanks.

Just finished the rebuild on my 172 engine, the problem piston has been replaced and the head checked as well. All fitted with new gaskets etc. Have also fitted new leads, and new plugs as well as new injectors, all of which have been re-tested and work correctly. Timing is also correct, and...

I usually work weekends, so was looking forward to enjoying some driving time in the 172 this weekend, first off I was going to try to find the problem behind my misfire and high emissions, after checking everything that I could (injectors, coilpack, spark plugs, ht leads) I did a compression...

Had my car checked today, and found that the hydrocarbons are really high. The car has a very slight misfire at idle which I put down to being a charactaristic of the 172 but perhaps this is more serious. When driving the car seems fine, and has no misfires or hesitation in any gear but at...

When the car is running, if you unplug the map sensor what should happen to the car? As on my ph1 172 if you unplug the connector the car does not do anything. Is this normal? Thanks.

And the result was okay I guess for a ph1 standard 172 with 100k miles. 155bhp with 156 ft.lb torque (1st run) then 164bhp with 155 ft.lb torque (2nd run). I did ask them to also give their oppinion about the slight misfire at idle which they tested on the gas analyser and the hydrocarbons were...

Any members from (or near to) Plymouth area? Any meets or events coming up? Thanks.

Got a small problem with my ph1 172, the engine starts fine but if you go to move of, the idle drops to low and the car cuts out, the same happens at traffic lights and junctions until the car has warmed up a bit. Any ideas what could be the problem? Thanks.

Picked up a phase1 172 today, the car drives nicely however I have a misfire at idle. I know they idle lumpy as standard but the car does have a very slight misfire at the same time however when driving in any gear - no misfire. Could it be that when the engine was steam cleaned its got dampness...
