Not sure if this is the same set up as on a 1.2 but I did it on mine (to repair the expanded rubber bung that blocked the flow of fluids). Before you (or anyone) follows anything I say - please keep in mind that my clio is on 110000 miles and is a complete dog that cost very very little. I...

Righto - Managed to get the tamper proof box off - But I think My ecu wires must be the revised type (odd as its a 53 reg) as there is no scuffing, there was a thick piece of plastic around it. Removed it anyway to make sure it doesnt become a problem! Hasnt gone into limp mode again and ive...

fantastic, thank you! I will get to it today then go to my local scrappers and get the new section of loom.

Thank you for your knowledge here! I have checked the wheel arch liners, one wasnt quite seated on the plastic front wing, and the second part of it had a bunged up drain hole with mud... so sorted those out. I looked at the large white connector - tried to ope nit up/ pull it apart but it...

Relay!! thats the word!! not yellow cube shaped fuse!

Hi all! I recently got a 1.2 dynamique clio (its a bit of a dog) on 110000 miles... it has been brilliant so far but has this weird intermittent fault causing the electrical warning light to come on the dash board, and a huge loss of power + slow revving. Every time it happens I find a small...

Hi all, Been on here for a long time lurking (sound a bit creepy dont i?!) I used to have a clio diesel mk3 but have since got rid of that for a family wagon. We have recently come back into the clio world for our run around car - a 2003 clio dynamique. I used to have one of these and...

I have a 2010 clio 1.5 dci (86) I music on 56000 miles. Today when going uphill on a duel carriage way I noticed an odd problem. As I accelerated from 50 mph in 5th gear the revs smoothly increased from around 2000 rpm to 2200 rpm.... then dipped back to 2000 rpm without me changing the force...

It was a bit broken. usual rust on the petrol cap, lower door edges and chasis - My own fault for buying it though as I didn't get it inspected like every other car I buy. Drove it through a very small full road width puddle a few days after getting it - which ruined it for a few weeks! It was...

This : Sorry if anyone has owned/ owns it now... but it was a pile of rusty, unreliable, dangerous rubbish! Bought in a rush and thought it would be "fun" to drive - the only good thing was the steering - very nicely weighted and direct... shame the brakes felt like the pads were made of icecream!

Very nice car - Great colour choice :P remarkably similar to mine! I must get the bump strips on the side of mine done - My old twingo came with them coded, looks cack with black down the side. Planning on changing the I music alloys ?

It is a DCI 86 - got a bit of poke when it needs to, but nothing on a 2.0 172/182 I should imagine. bought it from my sister who was trading it in - It was fun in the first week trying to get it going - Chucked black smoke out everytime I floored it - she never drove it quickly and only local...

I have had 3 1.2 clios (both PH1 and PH2) the running costs are lower when compared to something like a 172, and once up to speed can be quite an exciting drive (in a "entertaining way" as appose to a thrilling way) But I got bored of mine very very quickly - If you do go for a 1.2, I found...

Ph 1 172 for me! I'm hunting for one at the moment and having a hard job finding one that hasn't been messed about with!

Thank you - As promised I have managed to find pictures of my rather uneventful car history (if a bit muddled) Hopfully the next image will be a 172! First up was a Renault 4 1.4 campus I learnt to drive in That then died so got replaced as my first real car with a 1.2 clio grande (on...
