It appears that the wires leading to the knock sensor have frayed off from the plug of the knock sensor. Is there any way to re-connect the wires to the plug or can I source another and solder/connect the wires back into the loom? Any replies would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers scooby. I'll give that a go today. If it comes back on, I should be able to get access to a reader tomorrow.

The engine light came on a few days ago while one piston stopped working. Managed to get it diagnosed and the report showed that the fuel injectors were faulty. So anyway, I took them off and replaced them all as they were really corroded. On fire up, the engine is running perfectly and...

Do you have a link for the car or a picture? Generally, they are bomb proof except the gearboxes are prone to experiencing failed syncros. There is no way knowing when this could happen as age and use may not be necessarily an indicator. I know that there are plenty 200's out there that...

I was about to put my shopping in my boot and a blue 197 drove past me booting the throttle causing the exhaust to crackle. I very nearly dropped my shopping! ! Nice sound!

They are becoming extremely rare I agree. And I for one would like one if I'm being honest! ! The colour is amazing. I tried to get a clio 3rs in liquid yellow but I ended up with one in alien green instead. Your right, this isn't a mint but the colour I guess makes it desirable.

Fair point RyG. I'm all for making a profit, who isn't? But I get annoyed when dealers sell cars for top dollars that could potentially be a lemon and cost a small fortune on top to put right. I expect that with the classic car market. I could understand if it was a trophy for example. I...

That is seriously taking the pi**! The belts should have been replaced after 5 years regardless of the mileage along with the dephaser! These f***tards who call themselves dealers hack me off! Along with the normal 20% ish hike in price that dealers add to the price, he is probably thinking...

Your car looks amazing. The colour in that light does complete justice!

Thank you, I'll pm you now. :)

Hi all, I have a clio 200 with the anthracite pack and I'm trying to find our the paint code for the colour. Can somebody please help? Much appreciated, Alex.

Hi matt. I am trying to find out the paint code for the front bumper/ diffuser for my clio 200rs. The colour is anthracite but I cannot locate the code. Would really appreciate your help, alex.

That's brilliant. Any chance you could pm me your details so I can get in contact? Much appreciated :)

I can sure appreciate my clio. Before I sold my previous car (saxo vts - ashamed to say!) I had them both sat out front, and occasionally I would drive the saxo just to remind myself how s**t it actually was. In fact it was laughable! The saxo was no slouch but the clio is in a different...

Cheers pal. Just worked it out. Only took me several months to figure out! ;/

What was the solution? Mine does exactly the same.

I haven't heard of them but the price sounds pretty good. I had my clio wrapped in carbon fibre look vinyl and it looks awesome. Should last for about 7 years. There isn't much that can go wrong so I would go ahead with it.

How much would you charge for refurbishing the wheels? I only recently got mine re-painted and they look crap already due to stone chips etc. I live some distance away but for one days turn around, I would quite happily make the drive.

The wrap and the carbon dip is simply stunning! Wow! What is the turn around on a set of 17inch wheels?

I don't want to admit it because I have the car that I really want but I have been looking at replacements from other brands and I've only had my clio since August last year. I've owned numerous hot hatches over the years from pugs to Citroën and have never experienced anything like this...

I agree and when I told ruk that this is obviously a common issue, the reply was complete denial. I simply don't understand why they can't see the problem. I got the impression that because of the type of car that it is, ruk will automatically assume that the majority of clio sports will be...

Happy days! Renault have offered to pay 80% towards the total cost of a brand new gearbox. Just waiting for a phone call from ruk to book it in.

I went to Renault today to get the gearbox issue diagnosed and after the mechanic completed the inspection, he concluded that the syncro's were starting to fail and the most economical route is to change the gearbox for a brand new unit. He gave the car a thorough inspection to rule out any...

Think I saw you again a couple of days ago. Were you travelling in the direction of illingworth? Also, I have a question. Do you know of any trusted local garages in the area? I have a gearbox issue and the Renault dealership isn't my first choice at this moment.....

Cheers guys for your feedback. I think I will hold off on the diagnosis from Renault and start searching for a gearbox specialist to try and get a ball park figure so when Renault do actually diagnose the problem and come back with a price, I will then decide on the better option. I do...

I noticed recently that my gearbox ether crunches or feels notchy when changing into fourth gear. After reading previous threads on here, new and old, I feel it is safe to say with great sadness that my f***ing gearbox is quickly approaching the end of its life!! I spoke to Renault UK this...

Righto, completely understand. Its a cracking looking car. There are a few out there for sale though yours is by far the most reasonably priced that i can see.
