try euro car parts or gsf. Normally cheaper enough. http://www.eurocarparts.com/ecp/c/Renault_Clio_2.0_2002/p/car-parts/car-electrics-and-car-lighting/electrical/car-switch-and-car-sensors/?465660050&1&54a58c48e90801e54b50a148c7bae5fe48465760&000539

its not too bad tbh. Its a wheel off job though. Iirc its either a 22 or 24mm spanner. If your gonnaa do an oil change you need an 8mm sump plug remover, the square one. The clip squeezes together then pops off then its old switch out new one in. Before you do all up sand put the new oil in just...

No sorry the rear light cluster. Just one screw undone by hand iirc to whip it out then unclip the bulb holder all one piece. As if you were replacing a brake light.:up:

Had this on my first 172. It was badly corroded contacts so just whipped the light cluster out and gave all the contacts a light abraid and all was OK. It only happened when cornering no idea why. Cheap French electronics no doubt:tongueout:

Mine was the gearbox switch when they went, although if the wiper comes on its not usually that. There is an earth that's worth checking which runs to boot floor. Fuse is in the fusebox under the bonnet next to the battery, 5amp iirc. Check the obvious/cheap stuff first if its none of that then...

Good effort. Its all about making it your own and getting satisfaction from doing as much of it as you can yourself.

FTW. Epic. What on earth possess' people to do these things....

Make a plinth on the parcel shelf for it:up:

not an option for me as I have 195's already. Cars was lowered on Eibachs when I bought it so knew it was gonna be tight. It'll be fine. Lucky I have the option of machining them down.

Removed my newly fitted rear 25mm spacers in my lunch break at work as they rubbed on the arches on its test drive. They're off to the stepdads lathe to be machined down to 15mm. Hopefully this will sort it.:confused:

Obvious ones are cambelt service intervals and rattling de phasers. Other than that it's French so will one day have a random fault which will miraculously fix itself unless it's feeling unusually billigerent.....:tongueclosed: Seriously though they're brilliant little cars with loads of...

wow, your knob is really shiny...

Not one of life's lookers but not the reason I started the thread. Still end up with a stunner for girlfriend though. Just look at Flávio, so 'Mrs young 21yr old model', what first attracted you to the multi millionaire rich Italian!!!:laughing::laughing:

Nice car with some nice mods irrelevant of why you bought it. I love the bottle opener pointless 99% of the time probably but I love doing this little things to cars, giving them the personnel touch.:up:

Welcome, nice cup:wink:

Finished fitting my wheel spacers today. Some before and after pics

bristolian for baby

was up early with the Baber. Still an inexcusable mistake though..!! Haha

Your best option is to get them clipped out of the ecu now. Previous owner hasn't left you much to work with! Be about £40 ish for a specialist to do I reckon.

I sometimes do but usually don't spot it's an RS clio until it's too late. It's usually a small raise of the index finger whilst holding the wheel. Nothing too keen...

Seems F1 drivers think what looks like an RS Megane is a good choice of first car. Doubt he paid for it though...:tongueclosed:

not yet. Will do tomorrow when I finish the other side!! The ones I fitted are made by dan@m.a.d. Eibach do them too.

Fitted some 25mm spacers to fill the arches and give a little more 'stance'! Best part is I paid £20 for em off a bloke in work.

As above, solder straight to the door circuit. Not cutting or splicing needed. On my previous 172 someone wrapped the bare live and bare neg around the circuit strips, wouldnt advise this in case its shorts. 12v isn't much but roof lining is highly flammable!!!!....

yep agree with the wheel change, makes a huge difference. Gear knob upgrade as the oe ones make the shift feel a tad long.

Can't remember the differences on the 182's. On the 172 it's a more poverty/lightened spec. Mines fine in the wet, the little 16's do spin up quick though, just watch out for lift off oversteer in the wet if you being frisky. Most common mods are lowered, induction kit, RS remap, pads and discs...

to take the injector cover off I easy. 2 recessed 10mm bolts are all the hold it on. Go steady as they're prone to shearing off. The inlet manifold is pretty straight forward. Unplug the electrical connectors for the coil pack, and 1 each side of the plenum chamber. 4 10 mm bolts for the coils...

:up: thanks for the reply

Anyone ever fitted 25mm hub spacers on a cup before? Just wondering if there's clearance issues. Its already lowered by 35mm. Cheers

Blimey, this is a project and half. Hope it goes well. I'll watch this with anticipation.
