looked for any oil in the sparkplug chambers, found a very small amount nothing out of the ordinary but cleaned it up anyway - so problem was still there afterwards. strange thing is after givin it sum stick down the motorway upto about 120mph (running late!) it seems to be running fine now! :D...

cheers Tom, i hope its something that simple ill have a look now and find out. Fingers crossed! :)

recently my valver seems to hesitate slightly when accelerating through the rev range, the best way i can descibe it is having a flatspot - i cant say at exactly what rpm it happens, although it does seems to vary a bit. The weird thing is its just had a full service! it seem to be running well...

ever since i bought my car the handbrake has always been pretty crap, to hold on any sort of slope it needs to be pulled quite far up (about 6 or so clicks) and makes little/no difference when the cars moving at any speed which means i cant play around with any sort of handbrake turns! :( how...

This topic has brought up some interesting results/comments, i was gona get a full system + de-cat but not too sure now :confused: Id like the extra power but not as keen on the extra noise, so im now thinking about getting a scorpion (or similar) cat-back with a k-tec silenced de-cat pipe...

would it be possible to fit a magnex 6x4" oval b/box for a clio sport on a 16v? i dont know much about exhausts but surely with a bit of work i.e. weld on some new hangers, move the heatshield or take off spare wheel etc. you could get any b/box to fit (as long as its not massively different!)...

I have to admit, an important feature of an exhaust is the look and type of tailpipe - so for that i would agree the K-Tec one does look different and less standard, so sticks out more than simple 3-4" round pipes. But as klmillard mentioned above im not too keen on mega loud exhausts either and...

So many to choose from, and nobody is particularly unhappy with any system they have. So i guess whichever one i go for im not going to regret it. Although saying that, there have been mixed opinions about our local Powerflow centre in Plymouth. It seems that half the people i know like what...

my next major mod is goin to be a full s/steel exhaust plus de-cat, basically i wana know what the clio 16v owners think of your choice of stainless exhaust system (if you have one!) so far i have narrored it down to three different makes: magnex £337, scorpion £297 and mongoose £277, im not...

Yep, thats what i thought would be the case. Im gona give 195/40/17s a go and see what happens, i cant see it making a great deal of difference but id like to stick as near to the standard dia as poss. Still, I wouldve thought there were other 16v owners whos tried this size tyre

I need some info on wheel and trye fitments for clio 16vs. At present im running 17" TSW evo Rs with 205/40/17 tyres on my valver which came with the car when i bought it a few months ago. Ive since had it lowered 35mm @the front and about 50mm @the back and the only rubbing i get is on full...

I need a new passenger seat frame for my J reg clio 16v. Ive been quoted £209+VAT for the seat frame and subframe which come as a pair from a local Renault dealer but obviously this is way more than i want to spend so im looking at getting the parts second hand. Does anybody know if the seat...
