Forgot to add I have a droning noise that now occurs, it is not tyres and I don't think it's driveshaft's as they look good and sealed. I have recently changed coil pack and 4 new spark plugs as car was misfiring and going in and out of limp jerk mode when driving. That is now sorted. Car went...

Hello hope someone can point me in the right direction. I am getting 3 error codes on my Clio 1.2 16v. P0790.Normal/Performance switch circuit. After googling many sites instruct on looking for corrosion on Transmission Mode switch, where can I find this mode switch? P0711.Transmission fluid...

That makes sense, I've seen so many times on car's mot history's about engine covers. Thanks guys

Hi Chris, Oh yeah I remember that, the only issue was thread size of the bolts was different, that's all! Unfortunately all the bolts are super tight so I have no idea what the movement is, I hope the garage will be able to show me. Cheers

That's what I thought, these are very tight and have been taken out and cleaned within the past year. Strange one i guess I'll have to ring up and ask. Thanks for your help Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thought that would be the case with exhaust clamp but was worried brake pipe might need more work than just replace. Those 2 weren't really bothered about it was the first one about rear axle beam I'm concerned about, I'm going to jack it up and have a look but no idea what it means as its a...

Few advisory's on my recent MOT Saturday. Car is 16v 1.2 mk2. - Rear Axle beam has slight vertical movement between stub axle and axle beam (2.5.A.1a) - Nearside Rear Brake pipe slightly corroded (3.6.B.2c) - exhaust clamp corroded middle The first one I have no idea what that is and how I go...

The last week I've had a very annoying issue with my car. It first started that when I'd be driving along and when accelerating it would occasionally jerk forward hard as if it was emergency braking. The revs would drop and the emissions would flash on. After 2 seconds it would go out and the...

Had a search online and others said they had one wire. Cheers for looking! I have a OBD reader yes, so I would go onto the data steam test or whatever it's called and look for sensor readings? What exactly should I look for? I did check a few connections ones that I could see and get too. Oh I...

I thought it was. I expected a lower reading after just starting because obviously not been run to charge. If you could look that would be good cheers, it's probably just a black to stop water etc getting into the connector. Okay I see, i did have it on that 10amp solid section but it didn't...

Right first thing I did was test battery charge with everything off then ignition on then start the car as normal. 12.6v off and 14.7v after switching engine on, I was expecting around 14.2v so I'm not sure if that's high. When starting the car the voltage dropped to 10.6v when cranking. Next...

Just found a few good ones thank you! Okay cheers. I will get cracking now.

Okay first thing I'll do is check the earth straps. Is it easier to just follow the negative terminal or is the earth straps easy to find? I have no idea where they are exactly. Drain test will be next. So what's the process for drain test? Do you remove negative terminal so it doesn't blow a...

Hi guys hoping someone is able to help or give some advice. I'm having a little trouble with my car starting at the minute. There's been a few times I've gone out to my car and it'll crank slow and then just cut out and die as if to say the battery needs charge, so I've put the battery on...

Hahahaha, probably just the sunroof Actually, no, you're right, it's fooked

When I was underneath his car there was a lot of oil around his sump plug it seemed, it was wet, and his engine was very very hot after taking it for a minute drive. Seems f****d to me too! I asked him if it had an oil leak or anything or had a service or anything and his reply was 'I don't...

That's what I thought. Definitely sounds like it. As he'll most likely ask, what do you think the cause or problem might be? Like what's most likely of happened? Cheers for answering :)

My mate has got a issue with his 8v Clio 1.2 and he's asked me to have a look. He started it up and the engine was wobbly around light crazy. So initially thought dogbone mount, took his dogbone mount off and it's totally messed up, all the rubber was ripped off totally. So quickly put my...

Getting front discs for my brothers Clio, 8v low BHP version, something like 55bhp. He's not near his car to look so I thought I'd ask on here, does he need vented or solid discs?

I don't have a link currently but when I get on my iPad I will send one too you! yeah it's fantastic! so simple but it's great, if you were closer I'd say you could have this one haha. If you're prepared to come all the way to Norfolk then I'm sure a deal could be arranged, I won't be posting...

Hmm strange, I'll take it apart and have a look. Any suggestions for the lazy arm? For example if I put key in, ignition on ignition off ignition on ignition off ignition on ignition off, the arm would have moved to pointing straight down?:/ and I have to keep the plastic cover off so I put it...

It's strange how you lose motivation for things, when you grow older and you think why the f**k did I do that to my car. Well I'm at that stage now, working man and all that. Need poweerrrrr Long story short, the Clio possibly might be for sale soon, so I might be returning it to standard and...

My dashboard trip computer has suddenly decided to go all funny. what is this? Is it a easy fix? hope so. Cheers. When I press the little screen lightly everything becomes clear again. Any help is appreciated. I need to fix my rev counter arm anyway as its lazy now!

Hello, welcome to the Forum :-) As far as I've noticed there isn't too much in the way of meets in this area. You will also find that the majority of 172/182's you see around aren't actually on here. Theres 7 in my tiny little town where I live, but none of them are on here! The best chance...

Okay I see, thanks for your help. Yeah that makes sense with new cars haha, shame it's not just interchangeable! Cheers :)

Ah really, so just got to find one with accurate reading I guess? no way around this at all? the arm just like drops all the time, it's fine when moving and driving but every time I go to start it I have to move it up to correct position! Thanks for your answer, much appreciated :)

The arm on my rev counter is broken, seen some speedometer clocks for sale on eBay, can you swap these over and will it show my mileage or will it display the mileage that's on the speedo clock from eBay? Orrrr is there anyway of fixing the arm? Not sure how it got broken, but it's annoying...

Got sport bolts with the kit, they don't fit. I will take one out tomorrow and just find someone who can identify and give me 10mm longer ones! Cheers anyway!

Tried to fit them. Need longer bolts.

Really? Oh okay.
