Do you have this sequence of lights and hear a pump prime and stop?

Hi @Colink You are in the right place for the relays see your pic below I have marked it up red arrows, they are sat on a vertical holder that clips out, Mk2 Ph1 do have them there as I have an early one and sure both early and late version both had relays down there (alu bonnet and non alu...

Swap the one marked aricon and fuel over it maybe bad relay. Had exactly same on my one

Try swapping the relay in front of the fuse box under the bonnet.

It is a pain in the arse, there is a guide somewhere will see if I can find it as bracket and how you move it not clear as loom so tight and need to remove the torx from under the little cover in the door shut also from memory. Tight as to remove as had mine out recently and maybe why they...

Final update... With the MOT passed, extensive road test complete, I can confirm she has survived and is just a lively as ever! Track day planned for September and hoping to get a few more laps in this time Thanks for all the help and advice

Had a few hours spare this morning so attacked the aux belt, it is on and I still have all my fingers, jubilee clip on the tensioner and rolled it over the bottom pulley with a little bit of rag as protection. I have to say this was more tricky than doing the cam belt timing. Fitted the new...

Little update, all parts had arrived by yesterday so decided to have a few hours on this today Removed and resealed rocker cover with Loctite 518, luckily silicone came off pretty easy and hadn't gone into any channels internally, I must have been pretty conservative with application Fitted...

Need to do some man maths here, will be resealing with loctite 518 in any case. Cheers

How much would it go up to do that do you think New inlet valve set £160 Valve seals? Gaskets head, inlet and exhaust etc Would I need new head bolts or can they be re used once? Any other items? Thanks

Well spotted, it was the special loctite si5980 oil flange sealant Spotted this guy using and understand he was a race engine builder and stated lasts a bit longer than the Renault stuff This is where I get told that is a disaster waiting to happen :-), please do tell me if so

Spent a couple of hours tonight cleaning up and then resealing the rocker cover to stop the weep they all seem to get. Timing belt kit and new seals on the way and hope to get all fitted and timed up again at the weekend

Compression test complete this morning, cold engine. Engine is Ph1 172 all standard, 74k on clock and full service history 5 cranks and repeated 3 times on each cyl to get these results and from what I understand these are good but please let me know if they look odd. ?? To note it was cy4 and...

Update and found the real root cause... not track debris Got genuine Renault timing tools delivered and started the strip down, upon stripping cambelt covers off there was aux belt bits everywhere, they really do try and rip the cambelt off when they fail Then found top alternator lug...

Update, firstly thanks for the advise so far everyone, appreciated Borrowed a bore scope this afternoon and as follows Exhaust side of pistons lovely and black, all look just like this Inlet valves.... Cy4 & 3 have two small silver marks Cy 4 seems to have the worst damage assuming the...

Ph1 172 Cut to the chase how bad is this engine gurus....?? we talking pistons, valves and bottom end? Crank locking pin is in, clearly the horseshoe tool isn't going in there :confused:. It runs but quite lumpy, then at 1700rpm when dephaser advances it sounds like a 1990 french derv, unplug...

My ph1 172 also has that type and they told me the same, if you do find a repair person please drop into the thread

Good to know, what I have discovered is that a track day makes them melt, deform and fall out of the front wheels

Some info in here on them, for a ph1 but assume very similar. Details 4.5mm drill be to remove the rivets and shows the mounting clips etc

Finally got round to sorting this and thought would post for reference. Garage couldn't get what they thought was a good quality replacement as original part NLA. But did find that a 2015 Mitsubishi L200 boot is an exact fit for a 172 ph1 O/S outer boot, albeit it is brilliant orange 🍊

Yes well spotted!

Tesco antibac wipe trim restoration started also, coming up well. Scrub with the wipes and as the coating start to smear wiped off with meths and then coated with wax and buffed up

Steering and suspension refresh completed, new wishbones, track rod ends, ball joints, steering rack gaiters and steering rack bushes fitted along with new front shock top rubbers Also sorted the sump gasket leak, no metal present just some oil sludge in the sump fortunately

Finally got round to doing some Tesco antibac wipe trim restoration on my Ph1, works a treat thanks for sharing!!!! Found once the wipes worked their magic on the coating and it starts smearing a quick wipe with meths took it straight off, super quick

Hi I had some new ones from RPD earlier this year for my ph1 172 and fitted fine Suitable for the Renault Clio 172 MK1 Only. Genuine Renault part numbers 6000073511 6000073512 https://renaultpartsdirect.co.uk/parts/steering-suspension/renault-clio-172-front-wishbone-mk1/ RPD always been...

As per title I am after recommendation / advise as part no longer available from Renault and can't see any pattern parts listed on KAM or KTec, what brand CV boot are people fitting? The O/S outside CV boot has split and I need to replace before it spills even more grease into my brakes, as you...

Nice video @Big_Steve_T JB weld for the sump then......

Wheels back from powder coater, just couldn't bring myself to open the new in bag PH1 172 Oz centre caps so glued the 3d printed ones ready for some rattle can action tomorrow
