I have a renault clip but no old laptop to run it but i may have a diagnostic tool i sued before i think, will be ancient though and advice on any cheapo's from amazon?

This is really useful thank you, i have spoken to a renault specialist

You know what i mean, they are very to the point the engine chokes and car shakes

Yeah this is my worry buy how can I check the timing? Without asking them to re do it? And this will cost me when they haven't fit correctly but this is hard to prove. I spoke to a renault specialist this morning and they advised timing but they will charge me 300 quid to put right its like a...

Cheers for your help I'll try and hope tomorrow as it's almost like it's not recognising

Not particularly fast

Ok tried disconnecting the battery both leads and everything comes back on but the car turns over fine but no spark. I'm not sure if its an immobiliser thing as I've had issues with that before when the battery has died but it doesn't allow the engine to turn over does it? This is why I'm...

Ok thank you. But why do you need to take both leads off? Usually I just disconnect the neutral. And leave live on. But I'll give this a try and keep everything crossed

I actually have a renault clip unit but I've never been able to use it because apparently it only works on an old version of Windows or something.

Oh mate I hope so, if this worked I'd be so happy and I did disconnect the battery in an attempt to reset the TB. Can you just explain what you mean by residual drain off the uch please?

Thabks for all the replies btw I really appreciate it. So its the standard TDC I don't think it's ever been changed. The immobiliser light which I think is the one between stop start is blinking red. The light near the gear stick doesn't come on. It may or may not be worth mentioning that for...

So your saying get it diagnosed? Yeah good point maybe that's what I need to do before I buy parts. Would it have flagged the TDC sensor before it stopped starting at all?

Yikes, ok, well the battery is fine and brand new so is the air filter and alternator has just been refurbished. Yeah my current suspects are the throttle body and the TDC. So I looked into the ICV, but I didn't think the 172 ph2 had one? It's all done by the TB I read on here or is that...

Hi guys, I could really use some help. I just got my 2001 172 back on the road after some major surgery this year (car not me) and I got a genuine renault cambelt kit and dephazer pulley fitted same time as MOT. They guy tells me it's all done and he locked cranks etc but it's stalling every...

Hi all, does anyone know if you can get the plastic clips that help attach the rear bumper to the car anywhere? My driver side one broke off when removing the bumper, Thanks

Hi All, Does anyone know if you can order the driver side box panel/floor panel that connects to inner sill below driver seat for a ph2 clio 172? I'm doing my sill and turns out inner sill is gone but there is also a box panel that part of the flooring the curls downwards and connect to the...

Ok thanks for the replys, i appreciate it, i am prepared to do some work, so are you basically saying most people would write this off and not try to tackle?

Is it a lot of rust, that's what i'm trying to understand? And tbh im trying to learn a bit as well so not shying away from these as i have the facilities to weld (good equipment, lacking experience and some space issues) not to mention this has always been my car so id liek to get it going...

I have just created a post with my current situation so any advice on action would be appreciated, i hope one day mine can look as nice as yours one day, Mine is clean apart from these bits.

Hi all, I have been a member on here for a while but getting serious about getting my iceberg clio back on the road. So with lockdown i have had more time to play with the car, i'm very amateur at car repairs but eager to learn and i love my clio, i have owned for many many years mostly driven...

Hi mate, Just caught your post, lovely looking car! Tastefully modded as well i like it, hopefully i can get mine back on the road this year (mines a 172 iceberg too :). I can see you have done almost all cosmetic stuff where as i am stuck dealing with rust, especially underneath, have you had...

Anyone had this before? I'm tempted to change the light stalk to see if that's the problem, anyone who can advise please?

I've been doing some work on this over the past few weeks and thought I'd update the thread in hope that someones had the same issue. Ok so the main issue I'm trying to solve is the front fogs. The fog lights just stopped working and when I switch them on there is no click from the relay and...

Thanks for the reply Jack, when you say easy job, do you mean the sensor in the wing mirror? Are there any guides on how to do this or is it that easy?

I have had the car jacked up and checked the back of passenger fog light as i read on the forum this is where the power goes to them. Only problem is I don't know what I'm looking at and whether its good or needs replacing etc, any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Hi again mate, and thanks for replying. The 50 c is showing where the clock is. After trailing the forums I have found out the sensor for that temp is below the wing mirrors? I have read I can clean the mirrors out as some times sensors get wet. What do you think? The fogs, how do I know if...

Thanks Adam, I really appreciate that. Mines iceberg silver mate, around the east of norwich. Are the rear discs any different? thanks again

Thanks , will check that

Hi guys, I'm new to this but I want to upgrade my brake discs and suspension springs on my 51 plate 172. I want to put eibach sport line springs on all round and brembo hc discs all round, but I'd also like to replace the brake fluid at the same time. Are there any other forum users that have...

Thanks Nic
