Ok, cheers for that, i wasnt too sure. Well maybe i need both parts then.

Thanks mate. I meant the other part that has the actual pull handle on it so you can open and pull the bonnet up.

Hi all, The bonnet catch pull has siezed on my clio. I know this is very dangerous and have seen pictures when this has failed and bent the roof of the car. What exatly needs to be replaced? Just the piece on the underside of the bonnet? And where is best to get this? Renault have just...

Bought 2 brand new today. In for major belt service on Wednesday this week so them with me as dont have the time to fit myself between now and then. Lesson learnt, not to worry it was good experience anyway.

The car appears to have a missfire but not all the time. When i first drive, it gets stuck at around 3k revs and then all of a sudden kicks in and goes like normal. Then does the same again etc. However, after a mile or so, it feels like it is running normal. Although i do still feel like its...

Im in from the start with this one. Really looking forward to following the progress with this! I would love to have this as a project.

Im not 100% on that, sorry. I believe there are a number of different things that could cause bad economy. I would imagine if it was the lambda causing it, there would have been an eml light on the dash to reflect the issue. Best off putting a thread up in engine section and ask mate.

Its the normal button without the omp sticker on do you mean? If so, my wheel is the older version and the button is one full piece, not just a omp sticker.

Car is looking good mate. I dont think you have mentioned it but apologies if you did and i have missed it. Where did you get the horn button from? It looks better than the omp type that comes with the wheel.

I mentioned above that im determined to become more competent with fixing things myself. As I recently got the jack and axle stands I made a start on getting my hands dirty today. I started with the other halfs clio which we both use for travelling to work. I ordered everything needed to do a...

Just took it out again for another drive. Idling and running perfect, pulled up on the drive and mpg was reading 42 so feeling very pleased.

Thanks Tony. Haven't seen you post on here for ages.

@jesus @Ads29 Thank you for the advice. Put 2 new lambdas on. Right hand is cut and bleeding but i have got it done at least, ha. Not sure if you can help with this one.... The lambdas i have put on were 2nd hand from someone on here breaking a 182. I started it up and cleared the eml...

Will this be ok? Cant get it on the other part as the jack wont go high enough!

On the actual plate itself mate?

Afternoon, In the middle of trying to change lambdas. I dont feel compfortable using just the jack, plus the sills are badly bent which is what i have used to jack on at the moment. Where can i put 2 axle stands to allow me to move the jack out the way to get under?

I managed to get my hands on a brand new 182 steering wheel which came up on here from Serkan all the way in Turkey. My plans for this are to store it away and keep it for the future as I intend on storing the clio away at some point when no longer required for daily use. The wheel arrived...

Ours has just ticked on to 100k, we use this for work so my 182 doesnt rack up the miles. Very true, all the below for that price posted. Oil Oil filter Sump washer x2 Air filter Pollen filter

Great, cheers. Just ordered everything for £34. Why take it to a garage when you can do it yourself.

What is the best way to remove the oil filter on a mk2 1.2 16v clio? I can see it on the bottom left side of the engine. I will be jacking the front up and putting it on axle stands to have enough room but can anyone tell me if you would remove the wheel and arch loner and get to it that way...

Hi, Can anyone share a picture of the bolts that secure the airbox in place? There are 2 in total, one at the back and one at the front right side Thanks

Thought it would be. Is it worth putting it on ebay?

Anyone heard of them before? Worth using or should it be binned?

Surely this isnt a true statement though!? I want to change mine, but they have been on the car since new for the past 10 years so standard can not be that bad can they.

For a long time now I have wanted to be able to do more work on the clio myself. I would like to replace the engine and gearbox mounts and think I will read up on here and attempt it myself. I got a car jack and set of axle stands as a birthday gift which will allow me to be more hands on...

Was it easy to do?

You need to buy some resistors for the airbag wires? The ones that come whith the wheels never seem to work. Go to maplins, ask for 3.9 ohm. Angle sensor is the black disk yes. Ideally when you removed the original wheel you shouldnt of touched the angle sensor at all and left it in straight...

Congratulations, that was a fantastic read. White is such a great colour on these. Hige mistake not bringing them out in this colour as standard, although i suppose they were brought out before white started to become popular.

Always enjor reading your updates Dan. One of my favourite progress threads on here as I love how you do a lot of work yourself. Austin

If the major service was getting done would it be a good idea to have all 3 replaced at the same time or would it still be a lot of extra work for the specialist to do?
