Hey, Just thought i would check... I was wondering how sensitive the auto levelling system of these headlights is? I know in our BMW, if you so much as fart by the car and knock it off level, the lights adjust immediately and constantly. SO tonight i went out and hiked the car in reverse...

Hey, Has anyone here split the gearbox apart themselves at all? Any guides or pointers? Jj

And found this Apologies if its a repost, but i found it enlightening at least. I came from Honda land where variable valve timing was a VERY mechanical affair. All i saw under my little 172's hood was a funky little cam gear and just wanted to know how it did its stuff. Cheers JJ

Hi everyone, So I got a new gearbox just in case the 2nd gear synchro issue in mine isnt resolved with a new dogbone. Bought off ebay, assured that it has 26k on it so i am hoping its in good order internally. I gave it a quick pressure wash yesterday and it came up spanky clean but noted...

Anyone know how i can guess if this has been done on my car if there is no evidence in the servcie book? Car has 49k on it, its 2003...... Regards Andy

Right so, driving home today I noticed something odd with my CC It was 19 degrees outside but windy and cold from the wind So i set my CC to 19 or so....... But the AC light stayed on and the car simply refused to blow hot air When i ramped the heat up to about 24 it started to get...

Just wondering what your thoughts are on these? Bought a set of brembo hc discs for the front and will be going genuine Renault for the rear because if the bearings and abs rings. Was just wondering what your thoughts are with regards to me using standard mintex pads with it. They are...

Hey ho everyone......the saga continues. So right, my clutch pedal is notchy and croaky (its all i can think of) it squeaks from what appears to be the bulkhead or pedal. Now I know this was cured in my Civic with a clutch change, must have lightened the stress the pedal etc was under and...

Hey all, Quickie really, I know i should have checked when I was doing the gearbox mount and had the battery out etc but can someone tell me the full code of the gearbox on a 2003 Clio 172? I think i know that its a JC5 box but i think the number after that is all important...i.e. JC5-120...

Hey, I just gave the car a wee hoke today and happened to let the car rev down from say 5k in 1st at one stage and the car sounded very coarse. I recall doing this in the civic and it was really sweet as a nut, the engine sounded very smooth Not so the clio. Any thoughts? Jj

I know this is generally a trait of these cars but i was just wondering if there any quick fixes or bushing jobs etc that can ighten up the very sloppy gear change in these cars? p.s. Clio 172 Ph2 Cheers Jj

Just a quick query to ask about their functionality. I know they only work with the lights on and only after a second or so of holding the jets, but can you actually hear the second pump cutting in? Mine don't work and I most certainly cannot hear a second pimp cutting in over the main...

So right, my wee clio has been doing micro abs farts since I got it. Nothing major, just occasionally when braking (very very lightly might i add, say at 10mph) i feel the occasional pulse of ABS through the pedal. So many here advised ABS rings but under inspection, i couldnt see a thing...

Hey, Having a wee hoke round under the bonnet, I noted a sensor just behind the rad that was covered in oil (see pictures). When i pulled the plug out of it, there appeared to be oil inside too. Is this an oil pressure/temp switch and if so, is this a common fault? Also, I noted a wee...

Hi Chaps 2000 CLio....1.4s.....E7J engine Just to the right of the manifold on this yoke, there is a wee sensor bolted into the block. It has a large green bit on it. I have just noticed that it seems to be leaking oil (either from it or the thread) had a wee tighten but its still...

Hi gang, Having some problems with me girlfriends (now fiancee :) ) wee 2000 Clio 1.4 s. The car seems to run off a cylinder, poor fuel economy, low power etc which returns at about 4000 rpm with a wee kick and i suspected that the coil pack was iffy (single pack screwed to top of rocker...
