I am biting the bullet and going down the route of fitting ITB's to my Ph1. Always wanted them and have the opportunity to do it. Because noise. Going to do it in stages, like get the rad and that sorted. Then fit the ITB's. Then when the cam belt needs replacing in a few years get some spicier...

Going to get my Ph1 resprayed in the coming months. So the overal look isn't let down by the headlights I am going to get some new ones. Are there any ones to look out for? I have taken a quick look on AutoDoc and there are a few at varying prices: https://www.autodoc.co.uk/abakus/8349952...

Trying to work out if a you can get a wireless keybaord and mouse for an XBox One Series S (think it is the S, been told it is all digital and doesn't have a disk drive) as the girlfriend's son has asked for a keyboard and mouse for his birthday to use on his XBox. Being practical we were...

The Clio had been sat unused from about November and I foolishly left the hand brake on. Came to move it and it was stuck on but managed to free it by driving off. Used it yesterday and noticed there was a juddering when braking that I could hear and feel through the brake pedal. Brakes feel...

Semi Clio related-ish as it relates to engine care, but the oil pressure light on my E34 is slow to turn off when starting to the extent another warning appears saying oil is low but that then turns off after about 30-40sec of it starting. It was always been slow to turn the oil pressure light...

Need to get a new crank shaft sensor as I think this is causing the starting and cutting out issues on my Ph1 172, or at least the first thing I am changing. Was going to get this sensor 8200647554 and the updated loom 8200673202 Now this is the updated sensor and loom - will this fit my Ph1...

When I go to start the car it starts than then just runs out of puff within 30secs and cuts out. Then it won’t start. Cranks all fine, immobiliser light off, fuel pump primes. I got the AA out the other day for it as I was a bit stuck, took about 20mins to turn up and it fired up first time. He...

Need to get a N/S drive shaft for my Ph1 172. I m certain the part number is 8200027881. I want to get THIS one of eBay - I searched for the part number and thge description says it is the right one for a Ph1. Is it just the Cup's that are different so any non-cup 172/182 Ph1/2 will fit...

Are new bonnet catches for Ph1’s still available?

What are these two sensors from the upper inlet on my Ph1? I know one is the MAP sensor but not sure which one it is or what the other one is, something to do with air temp iirc? Also what are the part numbers as I might need to get a replacement - the one on the left has broken tabs so I am...

Got a new pressure washer and need to fit a hose pipe and reel. There is a water supply in my garage was was going to spur off that for a garden tap. But to keep it all neat and tidy want to have the hose on a reel so it is stored properly and out the way. The one i have seen is this Hozelock...

Tried to search for this but couldn’t find anything. Went to start the 172 yesterday after about two weeks not moving it. Battery was flat, but then for some reason I left the key in the cranking position for a few seconds after it had died, wasn’t cranking over, then it kicked into life. Then...

Have asked Renparts and they said this is now not available from Rebault. Can't find anything on GSF or ECP. It's the throttle body to inlet manifold gasket I am after. Are there any available or do I have to go old school and get creative with some gasket material? Knowing my luck I'll come...

I have two keys for my Clio. The one unlocks the car on the button but would not turn the engine on (flashing immobiliser light). The second key would not work the central locking but would start the engine. When pressing the central locking button on this key the little light on the fob would...

Ever since selling my old Ph1 I’ve always sorted wanted another. Managed to get enough funds and I’m happy with the condition and level my BMW E34 535i is at I need something else to occupy my time/ruin my life. So I’ve bought another Ph1. It’s nothing “special” as such at the moment, but that...

The seats in my E34 are in good condition but there is a slight wear in the driver’s side, which to be honest for a 30 year old car is good going! also some slight wear on the side of the seat base but hard to photograph. Is there anything that I can do to help prevent it getting worse? As...

Not quite a Clio but has anyone restored glass head lights? The ones on my E34 are a little dull and new ones are rare and expensive so was going to polish them up. Before I possibly waste my money on some smaller heads for my DA polisher is there anything better? Something like the 3M kit I’ve...

Been given a pair of Mission floor standing speakers and need an amp for them. I was watching a Sony TA-FE330R on eBay but my mate who gave me the speakers said it was too much and don’t bother bidding. What would people recommend? Ideally have multiple inputs on the back (realistically it...

What is the product to clean seats? The white parts in my Octavia vRS seats are not as white. Whoever thought white seats and carpets was a good idea is a fool.

Ever since I had my air con regassed my windscreen appears to have this greasy-like marks that appear over time that looks like it needs de-misting, but it doesn't clear with the heater. They sort of look like smear marks as if I haven't dried it properly when washing the car. Definately on the...

Not quite 100% Clio related....but the same priciples will surely be used! On my BW E34 the inner lip of the wheel arches is starting to go a little rusty. I want to stop it now before it gets too bad. Without having the car on me I have drawn a picture showing the bit I mean I have ran my...

My new BMW will qualify for classic car policy being from 1989 so wondering who people reccomend. Greenlight won't insure it a its RWD so had to cancel the Clio's policy. Footman James thought I was too young. Flux offered £120. Any others to try? I'm 27, 10 years no claims, no accidents...

What other Renault steering wheels fit a Ph1 Clio? I need one with an air bag so was going up the scrappy to get one but want to keep my options open. Is it any Renault of the same period/age? Megane/Laguna/Scenic....

Next thing I want done on the car is refresh the front chassis stuff up - new wishbones, ball joints, wheel bearings, tie rods, black poly bushes. I've looked in eBay for wishbones, but what Ines will fit and are good quality? Or is it worth buying new from Renault? Are Ph2 ones different? I...

Total noob question. Hate electrics and electronics. Currently making a cold air feed light unit, and the side light bulb gets in the way. I have found these bulbs but they are asking for +ve or -ve earth, and either 6V or 12V. As it's from a classic car site I am assuming old cars were...

I am going to relocate my electric window switches to where the stereo used to be as I don't want to put holes in my new door cards. The standard switch is a bit to big and ideally want something a bit more "race" like - just a little toggle switch. Being an absolute noob with electrics what...

Not quite Clio related but my Octavia vRS (1.8T 20v turbo), feel free to move to a more relevant place! The Skoda forum is a little quiet. Basically had to change the engine as cam belt tensioner let go. Doing so the air con needed disconnecting. So far I haven't re-gassed it as I wanted to...

My new TD Pro Race 3 wheels don't fit onto the rear of my car as the hub nut cover has a small lip on stopping them form seating properly. Before I get the file out and start taking material off, does anyone know if new ones have this small lip on? If they don't would rather get new ones if at...

Just bought some CM Composites door cards and wonder how people have attached theirs/similar. I currently have light weight door cards but are made from a thin plastic sheet on a roll and was rivited in place mainly as it was easy to do and as the material came on a roll it couldn't be stuck in...

Bought a new gear box drain plug and seal thing direct from Renault. Reading on here there was two - a drain and a fill, but when I ordered there was only one the guy could find on the exploded diagram and it said "drain and fill" in the description. I was under the impression the fill one was...
