Hi guys, just got myself another clio, this one is a 2002 CUP. The speedo hasn't worked since I got it (£900 expected problems), I first thought the sensor may have been nicked by the previous owner. Now that i've taken note of the gearbox code I'm thinking this gearbox might not be compatible...

Sooo managed to find the gearbox code.. It says JC5 130... so I think the bloke fitted the wrong box :@ I've been trying to cram a sensor i bought into what I can only assume is an inspection port at the back of the gearbox...

There is just what looks like an inspection hole.. Perhaps the previous owner took the sensor out.. He did mention something about a new gearbox... He wouldn't have put a later gearbox without the speedo sensor in there would he? Is that even possible?

Looking at it again, it has the ABS teeth on the driveshafts but no abs sensors, so indeed no ABS. The speedo is constantly at zero and the service light is on. ​Cheers

Hi guys struggling with this Basically bought a cheap cup with a few problems which I'm working my way through, however struggling with the speedo, I heard the sensor is at the back of the gearbox on cups but I cannot find the bugger, it may have been pulled out by the previous owner. I can't...

Problem solved! My front drivers side bearing had packed in (literally).. Got myself a replacement swivel hub with bearing in for £15 from a breakers. Wapped it out myself using this hard to find guide by G_F -Added a chunk at the end. Front Swivel Hub Removal. I have assumed you have...

You can always press the little cross in the corner and make the big scary thread go away..

I thought they advance the timing top end for more power and reduced it low end so you use less fuel unless you gun it.. With a race set up they'd smooth out the entire thing and make it rape fuel for power I fancy a dyno trip, anywhere in southwales anyone know of?

Ohh you guyss.. From the way people go on about RS intakes I thought they were Renaults gift to the world. -I now know better.. I think I may have a wee remap in there. I get 44-45mpg at 70mph, which seems a bit above average. And at 5krpm it kicks like i have a bo... ?? But then again...

Well I've learnt something new! That explains it! :p -feel like a complete newb now...:D Haha Cheers guys!

Hi guys Had my 182 a good 8 months now, Today I lined up with a fellow 182 (Blue, oldish bloke cardiff area?), anywho he gave me a nod and a rev as you dooo, so took this as a bit of a race. Lights turned green, 1st 2nd we were both struggling for grip and pretty level, then 3rd 4th 5th i...

Right so I removed the caliper and found that the piston gasket sleeve had come away leaving the piston exposed and has developed some 'white rust' so it was completely jammed. I used a bit of penetrating lube and gave it a bit of a clean before winding it back a bit, this freed it up nicely. I...

I had to change mine as a tooth shot through the bottom of the gearbox then all my box fluid came out, at the time I couldn't work out where it had come from and then I had every mechanic and people on here telling me it was my engine sump, after doing countless checks I continued to drive it...

The troublesome disk is getting noticeably hotter than the other. I'm going to give what martin suggests a go first. Will I have to remove the disk to wind the piston back?

Hi guys Bit of an issue, From 40mph upwards I hear a noticeable humming. I have jacked all 4 corners up and all wheel bearings feel good, bar the rear passenger side. It is very stiff to turn, I think the caliper has seized and is not releasing completely, the disk also has some...

I have precisely the same symptoms.. I have jacked all 4 courners up and all wheel bearings feel good, bar the rear passenger side. It is very stiff to turn, I think the caliper has seized and is not releasing completely, the disk also has some discoloration as if it's getting very hot. I...

The idle is pretty high when I first start it but after a bit of driving it drops to normal. It is definitely the CC pipe, removed part of the bumper and felt around. How crucial is the carbon canister, and where abouts does this pipe lead to from the carbon canister? Should I blank it? or...

My view: The main reason is to allow warmer air from the engine bay (second tube) to pass into the engine whilst the engine is cold, as fuel doesn't mix well with stone cold air. The air that passes into a engine needs to be within a specific temperature range, too low and the fuel does not...

Hi guys, I was having a little look around my engine today and found something a bit odd It looks as if the padding next to the auxiliary belt side of the engine has been worn through by the crank pulley and within this padding there is a pipe that has pressed into the pulley also and worn...

JOB DONE! :) £120 gearbox, £90 Luk clutch and £250 labour :D Not so bad after all! :) cheers guys!

Well I had a change of heart and managed to source myself a 50k 182 gearbox for £120. Went back to the garage that said they would fit it, they turned around with an extortionate price of £535, because apparently to fit a clutch requires so much more work... I know the clutch has to be swapped...

I will admit I panicked slightly and wapped the clio on ebay. I'm now investigating boxes but if the right price comes along. Eitherway.

Selling up :'( She's on ebay

I completely agree, they've quoted me £80 for a clutch ontop and will give me a years warranty on it. Looking at £680 complete job then :( -still have the misfire issue though, does anybody have any theories? Cheers guys

Cheers buddy :) In your opinion is £200 labour reasonable?

Am i looking for "non speedo"? eg one like this: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Renault-Clio-2-0-16v-Gearbox-JC5-172-182-JC5-130-/271067914662?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item3f1ce821a6#ht_2294wt_1397

Well guys the worst has happened... A couple weeks ago I posted about an oil leak, thought it was engine oil but due to the water on the road at the time i struggled to tell, took it to the garage, they recommended i keep an eye on the engine oil which i have done. But then yesterday while...

Well guys the worst has happened... Turns out i blew a hole in the gearbox, the oil was ALL the transmission oil. :'( Yesterday while driving happily down the motor way, BANG! stick pops out of fifth, put it back in to find an oh-mighty wine... Took it straight to the garage, on the way to the...
