my friend with his 172 wants to change the upholstery as it's quite worn and it seems like renault aren't making the 172 ph2 original item, just something that fits, not sure even what material is there any part no for the whole thing?

went out this evening and after a few stops the car refused to start. after turning the ignition on and attempting to start nothing happened, the dash lights turn off like normal but no other noise or anything. dropped down the window and the fuel pump is ok, you can hear it no problem. I also...

the crank pulley on a turbocharged fiesta ST has loosened up and caused some damage. I've heard the solution to prevent this is a safety pin on the pulley to keep it in place. now were there any Tcharged clios having this problem? has anyone used this on their SC/TC clios? regards

a friend of mine did this on his 172 and a couple of other cars and the guys said the car definitely pulls better after. not sure about the head porting thing, is there any risk in doing this beside the inlets? he also ported the exhaust manifold. I know for sure the cars go better but is it...

I'm getting soon a pair of brembo HC on the front as my originals are nearly gone. Question is will I have to change the pads ( OE pads at the moment) as they have plenty of life left in them. If not will I have to bed them in to the new discs as with new pads? Thanks! p.s: please recommend me...

measured today the front ride height (from ground to top of the wheel arch) and it was 63 cm. it looked like the gap between the wheel and the arch was quite large so I took the measure. Can a fellow 182 ff/cup owner take a measure and light me up? car is on stock suspension(only k-tec solid...

Had an accident last may, the front left corner was damaged, was pretty expensive to fix but done it eventually.. changed the front shocks, both lower arms (bushes and ball joints included of course), new anti roll bar with poly bushes (all 4), new subframe, k-tec solid top mounts etc...

A friend of mine has an 182 FF, 45 k on the clock and for some 6k miles the engine cuts down at idle speed. He changed the injectors, throttle body, lambda sensor, but the renault garage did not managed to fix this issue. the car is driving normally but the idle is unstable and occasionally cuts...

today started the car and the left xenon was pointing at around 5-7 meters in front of the car.. the left headlight is new btw and can't figure how come yesterday the beam was ok and now it's not. and I'm still not sure how the height adjustment works in a mk2 clio, because in a meggy 225 you...

as above, grey anthracite stripes on a arctic blue 182 (cup packed) what do you think? are they going to match the blue and the wheels? (the std cup ones that is) thx!

a friend of mine has a supercharged 172 ph1 still being tested and wondered if the torque you see in the graph isn't too much for just 0,3 bar he has an eaton m62, cat cams 421 and 182 manifold here's the graph:

yesterday I went out with the car after 4 day of resting (the car that is..) and noticed that the engine (while still cold) had the tendency to cut of fuel under acceleration, not too bad but you could feel it Then I stopped to hear it idle for a while and it was obvious I had a problem, the...

So let's start the story since last spring when I had an accident. a pretty nasty one. about 4k were spent to fix the car, the left front end was damaged (headlight, lower arm, subframe, front bumper, a small dent in the roof above the upper corner of the door, and some other smaller stuff, as...

After having some problems with one of the two and payed around 60 quid to change it I finally sort out what was wrong with it. Basically you could hear it whine but no liquid came out.. To fix the damn thing you have to remove it and take it apart If someone experiences problems ring a bell...

I've met a guy today and his 172 is a lot lower in the back, the front is the same as mine as you can see in the pics. he says his car is on stock suspension and mine is also, so how come mine is so high?? I've measured mine in front directly under the front splitter and it is 14 cm off the...

So here's my problem.. couple of days ago I fitted the Helix organic clutch kit, as I had some problems with the original (car is 45k now): 1. there was the obvious crunch and squeak that we all know about 2. car standing still, engine running, pressing the clutch, engaging 1st gear and while...

unfortunately I had an accident 4 months ago, and the car is due to be finished in about 2 weeks. it hasn't been started since and wondered if there is something to know when starting an engine after such a period

really curious how renault modified the suspension and subframe on the v6, would be interesting to see how they did it looking under the car. anybody seen such pics? cheers!

need to replace one of the fog lights and went to renault and surprise: they only sell them in pairs!!! couldn't believe this s*** and wondered if the std clio items are identical to the 1*2 range (phase2). I've seen a used campus and just wondered if ..

As above, I need to buy a new wheel after an accident and need the part no for the anthracite cup wheel as the dealer couldn't tell me if the wheel they had in the database is the cup one or the normal silver I told them to check if the colour code was specified and it wasn't. I really don't...

Hi there, Been looking at the expert section in the renaultsport.co.uk and found out something I wasn't sure about the track in the cup suspension It seems that the wider track comes from the different offset in the cup anthracite wheels which is ET 45 compared to ET 48(non cup) here is what...

After some research I decided to go for the helix organic clutch kit. The only place I could find this kit so far is yozzasport, but I am still waiting for replies to some mails I've sent regarding payment. It's more complicated for me to order since I'm not from the UK. How about the gr. N...

these are the poly bush set for the lower arms. one of the outer sleeves came out recently and it's obvious that it suffered some damage(maybe the arm suffered to I don't know). I want to make a custom replacement sleeve, although powerflex said they will send me replacements, I need the car...

I spent about 4 hours couple of days ago reading posts regarding IK's and still not sure about them. I know maxogens have the best reputation, but they are pricey and to pay 400 on engine sound mainly is too much sometimes. What I want is to clarify the benefits of the best ik's available...
