Hi all before I go to a mechanic I was hoping for some advice on a serious problem i have with my clio valver (1992). Basically i get a really bad vibrating noise coming from the car when the steering wheel is slightly turned right. When the car is straight or leftwards the noise goes. The...

Hello everyone I have been a closest cliosporter for many years and require your services once again. I just want to know what the perfect offset and fitment is for my 1992 valver if i run 17" alloys? Thanks

does anyone know if this is true?

OK thanks for the responses. According to the garage under the new MOT rules if you fail an MOT and take the car out to do the work yourself then when you take it back they have to do a whole noew MOT and charge you again!!! MADNESS So I am biting the bullet and having the work done, no other...

Hello all My valver has failed its MOT surprise, surprise. The Off Side Front, lower ball joint is knackered and there is play in the steering because of it. So needs replacing at a cost of £95.00 plus they say tracking needs to be redone so extra £25. Is this about right?

on my clio 1.8 16v (old shape) I had the problem of high idling. once the car went over a certain idle point it idle at something ridiculously high like 2500rpm. I changed the speedo cable and the problem was solved. Dont know if this will help you out but i thought i would post just in case

ok thanks. How about stuff to clean out the chambers?

hello all I am going to change the spark plugs on the valver (1.8 16v) and was wondering what everyone else is using. I am leaning towards the bosch super 4's, any opinions? Also is there anything i can pour down the spark plug chambers to clean them out before putting new ones in?

if it is a valver you can get 17" alloys because of the wider arches, 16" and lower for rt's, rn's and rsi's

ok thanks for advice. In the end I ended up getting a set of lucas pads which come with the bolt holes but are about £8 more expensive than the ferodos. My next problem is that i cant remember how the spring goes back on the pads. I thought i had it sussed but the damn springs wont fit right...

OK following on from an earlier thread, i have had a few difficulties trying to change rear brake pads on my 1.8 16v 1991 clio . Basically the rear outer pads are secured to the caliper with 2 screws but i went to halfords and both the ferodo pads and halfords own brand pads do not have the...

ok i guess that is worth a try. thanks

hi there my radio on my 1.8 valver has suddenly decided to play up, normally i can search through the stations but it seems the radio is not locating radio stations. When i manually tune it the reception is really poor, anyone know why this is? could it be a sign the battery is wearing...

thanks for the help people and may the force be with you
