The dci ran really well for the rest of 2024 with no problems I got some new tyres around October time fitted to the silver 16" 172 alloys I have treating them like my winter alloys. Forgot to mention it's on Ktec coilovers and I'm also running clio 182 xenon headlights as I find the halogens...

Sorry for the delay been very busy recently! So being the type of guy I am I like keeping cars going rather than scrapping them so I put a plan in place to fix the dci even though financially it doesn't make sense. I also needed the car so I'd either need to repair it or buy another car. I bit...

Hello all, been a member a while here but I tend to generally browse and not post that much but I'd thought I'd maybe change that a put up a project thread of the daily life of being a clio hoarder 😂. So I've a had a good few clios over the years where I think I have an obsession with them and...

I've the exact same issue on 4 of my Clio's and can't for the life me figure it out. I believe it's one of the spot welds somewhere around that area and I've heard other people having similar issues it must be becoming a more common issue with age I believe. Boot grommets are sealed on all of...

Yeah, I was thinking of checking the big ends as well. Is it possible to fix the cam journals without spending loads getting it machined? I feel like it would probably be easier getting another cylinder head due to the damage. Wasn't a track car from my knowledge I bought it 5 years ago and...

Hi all, was in the process of resealing my end cap for the crank along with a new crank seal as it's been leaking badly. I've removed the main bearing from the cap and I just want your opinions on the wear of it would I be stupid just leaving it as is and sending it or should I potentially be...

I would probably just set the toe to the factory setting which is 20' total toe in for a 182 or 32' on a 172

I did indeed turned out the cylinder head was the culprit the stem seals were leaking oil into the combustion chamber and the valves weren't sealing the best.

They're cable tied from factory lol

Renault discontinues the OSF wishbone but the part numbers are - NSF - 8200257956 OSF - 8200257957 Non-caster wishbones part numbers are - NSF - 6000073511 OSF - 6000073512 You can still get the original 172 non-caster wishbones which some companies have modified for the extra caster. The 4...

Yeah haven't had a chance to look at it properly yet, stripped the fuse box down to check the relays fuses and the white plug of doom all seemed in order my suspicions are possibly around the interior loom/ where it meets the engine bay as I've been thinking about and I've had some weird other...

It seems to need the heater blower, headlights (sidelights, low beam, and high beam) and front + rear fog lights for the misfire to disappear if you turn one thing off it starts doing it slightly but when they're all off it just misfires as usual.

Hello all, a bit of a long story this one, about a year ago I purchased a Clio 182 turbo with the engine dynamics low boost kit on it. The car needed a fair bit of work and wasn't exactly the best looked after however always had this weird misfire issue you could hear on idle like the exhaust...

Hi all, was looking to see if anyone could help me with a few measurements for a Clio 172 Subframe as I believe mine might be twisted/damaged. Reason being the L/H wheel is set back more than the R/H wheel by a good 10mm. I was looking to get the measurement from the outward most bolt of each...

Do you have a multimeter handy? My coil pack went yesterday so I tested it and pretty much confirmed the coil pack was to blame.
