For the last few weeks Ive noticed if I have my window fully down there is a rattle, the same if I have the window far down but not all the way. I removed the door card today to find what it was. It seems the bare metal support bar in the middle of the large cut out that guides the window down...

I've been running the mist jets which I think I got from Citroen for a while, but noticed the jets start to get a white line around the bottom from dirt etc, we also have a Peugeot 207 on the drive which has almost identical if not the same mist jets, but has a plastic gasket underneath which...

My grandads 1.2 16v has a current issue, when he reverses out of his drive, or comes to stop at a junction he saids he feels like he constantly has to catch the revs to stop it from stalling, I've been out for a drive with him because I thought it was just his gentle approach to the accelerator...

So my audio set up in the car isn't going to win any competitions but I got it to a point where I was happy for a while, then my rear speaker passengers side started to sound bad so I replaced it. Before I was running Hertz comps up front but without using the crossover boxes (if that's what...

Just a quick question! I was cleaning my interior today and took the cup holder part out to clean it properly, I noticed the flap wasnt closed on the port so I closed it but noticed 2 prongs on the inside of the cap, almost like it makes a circuit when closed... I was just wondering what this...

Planning to fit a new coolant bottle when I get round to changing my coolant some time. Does anyone know the current price from Renault? If its high does anyone who has bought one recently have a link to anywhere else? I've seen one on ebay but it looks slightly different.

Just out of interest, have seen the odd discussion on this once in a while, I got the general gist of things that petrol station air pumps dont have to be as strictly serviced as tyre fitters equipment? Its just I have a hand held tyre pressure gauge, its not the best by a long way. One front...

I've never had a problem before but driving home today in the 0c weather my feet where frozen, was having a look at the clutch pedal cable to see how it was linked the other day and thought I might have knocked something, but I haven't. I see the outlet for the drivers side is about 4cm...

Just thinking of future jobs I would like to get done. Theres one corner I freqeuntly turn left into and the back of the car feels like its skipping, I would guess thats the rear shocks? Wests renaults price says £45.05 each for OEM, Ebay is £86.90 delivered for the pair, again OEM. But just...

My drivers seat has developed a squeak in the last few months, I've tried to get under the seat and see what's causing it, sprayed a bit of silicone grease at a few points but it still remains. Anyone know what's actually making the noise if they've experienced it ? I think I'm going to have...

As above, one of my bulbs has gone pink and I'm thinking of purchasing a 5000k set. I just wondered if anyone has them fitted and is happy with them?, one person has told me they have, but I'd like to know weather they are worth fitting. Im not expecting them to last as long as Osram or...

Alright chaps. Ive put a few threads up but they've gone cold, anyway Im pretty sure my differential bearings are going. I neutral around 40mph and now varying other speeds I have a whine, which Is getting slightly louder as the weeks go on. The plan is to source a cheap second hand box, send...

Im looking for a passenger splash guard, the lower one that attaches to the front bumper. Apart from a breakers who wanted a lot for it I cant find one. Admittedly I haven't search amazingly hard so if anyone has one please contact me. But I want to know for example if a 1.2 or 1.6 splash...

Following on from this thread: http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?666612-Replaced-gearbox-oil-very-faint-whine&highlight=bearing+gearbox I'm creating a new one because I want to diagnose what I now think is a bearing noise. This came about a few weeks after changing the gearbox oil...

My current door bullets are sprayed silver from when I bought the car, there fine but I want what I thought where from factory on all sports, chromed? I bought a set of chrome ones to polish up, one side fine, the other side too pitted to rescue. So I thought I'd take my current passenger side...

My grandad has been telling me his 1.2 sometimes runs badly, his MPG has dropped from 47 to 42, he has been driving it like its been for a while because the fault only happens sometimes, he also has said that on full lock the engine sometimes stalls. Does the above sound like a MAP sensor? he's...

Before my MOT I decided to change the lower ball joints to fresh ones, being pre MOT and tight I bought 2 of the cheaper type on Euro car parts, I've read varying reviews on the cheaper type that they do the job but just don't last as long as Lemforder. But seeing as they where 17 a pair on...

Posting this up because its on the back of my mind. I replace the gearbox oil purely because I fancied it, I think the correct grade is 75w80? I put a thread up and seemed 75w90 was fine to use. (is 90 thicker?) http://www.carlube.co.uk/index.cfm?product=83 So I replaced the oil and now I'm...

I'm looking to set up a newsgroups server and downloading client. I have supernews bookmarked, Id rather pay monthly via paypal and then renew manually rather than automatically for now if any do this. Can anyone recommend who's currently best? I haven't really got a clue but I've read the...

Have done a little search on this and found a few people with similar gear changes to what I had the other day. Ive got a power flexed dog bone mount, new upper gearbox mount and fresh oil. In the wet moving up a hill in first I waited for someone to turn right then tried to catch the temp...

I'm thinking of ordering up a set of replacement HT leads purely because I'm slowly renewing working parts of the car that I can as I go along. I saw the amount of black on the plenum when changing my spark plugs a while back. Is it fair to say the car being on 63k its worth replacing them if...

Im hoping some painters or those that know there stuff can give me some pointers on this. I've had this scuff since I bought the car, when I first got it I asked my local smart repair man for a quote, he said wait for me to add you to a job so I can sort you out a decent price, It will be...

The 2 large jubilee clips which secure the standard 182 air filter elbow on jump a thread when I try to tighten them, if someone can tell me the rough size to save me taking the air box off again I'd be greatful ;).

Cars passed its MOT so I took out the sidelights that where put in for the MOT. When I took the drivers side out I noticed the main silver reflector part is lose and can be wobbled up and down, meaning the edge of the silver xenon surround is resting on the floor of the light unit if you can...

Done a quick search but want to be sure what the current opinion is, 75w90 is fine to use yeah? And is this carlube stuff fine...

So I attempted to change my lower ball joints today. I couldnt get the bloody pinch bolt out either side though, I WD40'd waited, had the nut wound on the thread, tried smacking it out. Couldnt get the head of the nut turning either, too tight to use my breaker bar as the caliper nut was in...

This to me at the moment feels like a very stupid question, but my grandad seems to brainwash me with his old school technical side of things. He has a 1.2 clio and I bought him some new filters all round oil/air/pollen etc. He said the car was running bad lately and missfiring, so we changed...

I've just used plastic primer instead of normal primer on some interior grab handles and mirror caps as I understand it helps the paint dry without going funny. I've bought a small 250ml pot of black gold, and I *think* the thinners I have is just normal thinners, I want to spray colour this...

Bare with me... Just gave the clutch cable some grease, feels better now. Always have a quick listen to the engine ticking over (not that i really know what to listen for :o) And in the background it really does sound like beeping morse code, faint but audible over the engine. Does anyone...

Thought i'd copy some of this over from my project thread as its where most people look. Decided to start early and attempt to give some more shine to the paintwork rather than keep just cleaning it and waxing over the top of dullish paint. Started off with a pressure wash, colli 476 still...
