    Loss of power and running really badly

    Honest answer I don't know as I never managed to get it to happen when I could run round the back of the car to find out. Nothing noticeable from the cabin when it happened though.

    Wet Related Misfire / Battery Drain

    For future ref, changed the front O2 sensor and this has cured the car's hesitance/misfire/over fuelling or whatever it was.

    Loss of power and running really badly

    For what it's worth I was having exact same problem as OP. I swapped the front O2 sensor (lambda) for one off a scrap car. This didn't cure it so I went off on a route of HT leads etc etc Nothing worked so I bit bullet and bought a new Bosch lambda. There was always a O2 sensor fault showing...

    Racing Blue 182 - Travelodge North Weald/Harlow

    You were parked up last night (28th) and still there when we left for the airfield in the morning. Spotted a Cliosport tax disc holder. Who was it? Looked good apart from the Saharan rain residue :)

    Climate control working but not working

    Look under ClioSport Guides, my guide is on the first page, sounds like the same issue.

    Loss of power and running really badly

    This sounds exactly like my problem, ph1 172 also. So far I've changed coil pack, HT leads, spark plugs and front o2 sensor (i also got this fault on RS Tuner). Have you got to the bottom of it yet?

    Wet Related Misfire / Battery Drain

    Guys, I've been struggling with an intermittent misfire on the 172 Ph1 for a few weeks. I've swapped the plugs, HT leads and coil pack for brand-new Renault items without success. The only thing left to change is the pre-cat Lambda but I'm doubtful this is the cause, unless someone thinks...

    wheering wheel button functions

    O turns off cruise control (instead of depressing brake or clutch). R resets cruise control to the last set speed.

    Blue interior!

    Yes, or at least Ph2 fit in Ph1, so I'd presume the other way around works too.

    Is this a normal pre Cat lambda trace?

    Hi Guys, I'm having a nightmare with an intermittent misfire. Have checked the usuals, injectors seem fine, HT leads intact, strong spark from the plugs (NGK) etc etc I have an RSTuner and that had a logged Front O2 Sensor Fault. I cleared it and it hasn't come back yet (but the misfire hasn't...

    182 in Limp Mode at Bodyshop - HELP

    Could be conincidence mate. I drove my car to Heathrow no problem, left it in the car park 2 days and when I came back I now have an intermittent misfire. So it can and does happen.

    Goodwood supercars.

    We were parked on the circuit, beyond the end of the pits towards the 1st corner Pretty crap position tbh, but it did mean I got a lap of Goodwood when leaving :race: Was a bit slippery mind!

    Goodwood supercars.

    Was CL10 VG or similar. Saw him too I think he was at Gaydon too but didn't get a chance to say hi. Didn't see you there Shaun. As I was coming up to the Rolls Royce roundabout both Sam (illiad) and Ben (Mars) happened to be coming the other way so we all ended up entering in a row. Chances of...

    What is this boot flap thing for?

    Seal them shut and make sure you always have a window open when shutting the doors?

    Benkay's Titanium PH1 172

    This is true Nick, progress has been made but not written up. Changed the seats for some Corbeau Sportline RRBs ;) Thinking of going a bit more track oriented now, got the sprinting bug after driving a mate's car in an event the other week. Aaaaahhhhh.....funny that I wondered where the...

    Temporary Cover

    Hi GUys, I have full comp. insurance on both my 172 and V6 (obviously). This allows me to drive other cars but only with 3rd party insurance. I have a Seat Leon i'm trying to sell. It is currently SORN and uninsured. If I re-tax the car, can I legally drive it using my comprehensive insurance...

    You can have a go at fixing it yourself if you're handy at all : http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?573598-Repairing-Climate-Control-Resistor-Pack-(Clio-II) Otherwise, there's ebay people offering refurb services (basically doing what's in the guide).

    My Renault Clio 172 Phase 1

    Hi mate, ITBs are going to be awesome. The 'code' on your numberplate will be the BS reference which is required by law if your number plates are to be legal.

    Hunting for revs on idle.

    I have this too sometimes so interested if anyone has any clues. As blipping the throttle brings it back down to normal idle, I've always presumed it's a sticky throttle body so the butterfly valve isn't closing fully. I find it happens most often when moving along in traffic, so only very...
