Sadly I know the feeling, this too was at around 70 MPH and had to throw it into a verge... To say I bricked myself would be an understatement !

Mine does it too, must be common among the clio's. I always thought it was the oil being cold, also read somewhere about a cold map that switches on the ECU.

Ding :) My last one had 110,000 when I sold her, bit tappaty but great car :D Congrats !

Sorry for being off topic and all but your dog is Epic! Could photoshop a great caption into that pic :)

Might be a longshot but these don't look like they match, Im guessing one is from a cup and one from a 1*2? Muchoes Gracias

Going Go Karting soon for the first time and I came across this :O I want one !

Brembo High Carbon disks where popular on 172/182's, probably same story for the 197's http://www.k-tecracing.com/show_product.asp?id=2855&appid=3 Probably not the cheapest place to get them though

The handbrake cable is rubbing on the inside of the drum meaning every time I put the brakes on then lift, it squeaks. I noticed this a while back and put some copper slip over the coil that runs over the cable and it cured it... For about 1 day. I've noticed some clio's have it and some don't...

Give your callipers a shake, mine has some serious play (Think it means worn pads or buggered callipers) Shy of that the top of the suspension can cause it too I believe.

Yeah I noticed there are a lot of similar cars across the bottom all for the same price, what's the point :S

The tailgate looks funny too, "clio sport" badge on the right hand side... a non sport tailgate maybe ? sounds like its been hit at some point. Also the coolant is black, might just be the pic but...

Kinda, what he was actually saying was "Your lucky I didn't smash it to bits!" Drums are pretty durable unless they have a crack, found that when my neighbour used a blow torch to heat the barrel and remove the bearing and it exploded, quite literally.

It's all about the Vavavoom no ? :P

Give her a good ol' full service, my old car did that and it was becasue the oil used by the previous owner wasnt the best. Flushed and added new oil and the problem was gone :)

Yeah, I expected it would cost a fortune but then I thought low compression turbo's should need a little less work :P The car in question is a whole car, shell, engine etc and i'm sure with a bit of patience and ebay I can grab some part's pretty cheap. Injectors is a fair point I hadn't...

Some induction kit's can leave off the breather valve causing some foul smelling air to be sucked up into the car, mine had a bad smell of petrol and was causing my driving to get "interesting" Not sure if one of the small breather valve filter's will stop the smell but it will help

Hi, All Just woundering about the compression ratios of the Clio TCE, I believe it's 9.80:1 and mine is 10.00:1 - is this a massive diffrence ? Anybody tried sticking a TCE on a 1.4 or a 1.6 before and what kind of gains (Im guessing around 20/25 ish and a bit of torque) This is not...

You don't happen to have an induction kit fitted do you ?

I've tried, it works on idle but as soon as you tap the throttle you hear swish then a large pop >.<

Might be a long shot but anybody have an idea how much one will cost from seat, it's a semi-circle clip that connect's the boost pipe together :P Just saw it blow the clip apart, produces a fair bit of boost >.< p.s It's a 140 2.0 TDI

That should be the breather pipe, it will lead to a metal "nozzle" coming out of the block near the throttle body, i think the origonal airbox will fit onto this but im sure another member can confirm :)

Got to be the coolest car in the world! She had the 320, Drives a 2.0 Leon now (Bit better on the MPG) :)

Only a few things it can be really, Either the springs are too short, dampers are too long or somehow your dampers are allowing more travvel then they should be. Or maybe the plates your springs sit on have sagged ? dont think thats possible though :) Maybe you could jack up the rear and post a...

Only time I've seen springs fall out is if a chunk of the coil snaps off and you jack it up. Something aint right there :S

Really hope they bagged who ever took it ! Funny how a forum (A good one mind) has done more than the police would have ever accomplished lol When mine was keyed to bit's they visited once and asked who could have done it and i never saw them again (If i'd known who did it i wouldnt be calling...

Is it just me or is it missing it's rear badge (From the boot)

You could maybe "snow foam" with with tar remover, still going to be a long process but should get it off :)

I wounder what the reserve is :)

Sounds like a sticky throttle body/cable, could try a TB clean.

How is Idle ? is it lump at all ? Might also be worth doing a throttle body clean
