Depends, its better than some Citroens, Peugeots and Fiats.

There's a very easy way to disable clio IIs from inside the car, but I wont say incase any bandits are reading this.

Id replace 1 at a time, after you replace each one open the bleed screw on the caliper, put your 1 way bleeding bottle on and pump fluid through slowly until it comes out without any air or without any fluid with air bubbles. Then tighten the screw and move onto the next. Remember to keep an...

iirc if you get air in the abs pump it has to be replaced..

Its hard to say an exact amount. Renault say 0.5 litres but you'll waste a lot pumping it out until the bubbles stop and youll waste a little while changing the lines, when I did mine I used about 1 litre. For best results do it in this order: left rear, right rear. left front, right front...

Bearing or track rod end must be very worn for the wheel to wobble. Have you hit anything in the road recently, wobbling wheels is normally caused by buckled wheels/damaged tyres.

Put some copper grease on the back of the pads. Not the crappy spray on stuff, buy it in a tub and smear it on with your finger.

If the previous owner thought he'd removed the abs by fitting non ringed discs id be very worried, it could make your car very dangerous. Have a look to see if the main abs fuse is there in the engine bay, removing this disables the abs but also disables the EBD making the car unstable when...

No they wont, they wont match up to your hubs, they may even heighten your car as they are rated at the front for a bigger heavier engine.

Ive just realized its the passenger side, be very careful as the driveshaft can pop out dragging the seal with it loosing all your gearbox oil.

You have to take the driveshaft half out, youll have to undo the strut to hub bolts, take the hub nut off and pop the wheel end of the shaft out of the hub. take the old boot off, separating the joint, re-pack with grease, re join and slide the new one on with clips and put it all back...

As above, you cant really miss it. It doesnt look like a switch, just a electrical connector plugged into the pipe.

The 172mk1 has slightly different longer gear ratios. Although its unclear if its every gear, the ph2s were adjusted slightly for more acceleration but this in effect knocked off the overall top speed in that gear. Hope that makes sense..

I sometimes wander how some owners manage without working on the cars themselves. Their mechanic bills must be huge.

The bottom bolt is 105Nm and the top nut is 20Nm

You need HB3s for the dipped beam and H7s for the main beam. All of those websites just mention the single light car.

No probs, post a pic when its on, ive always wanted to change the wheel on my ph1.

The anti roll bar ones are the only ones Id fit. They look like a right b**ch to do too..

Its 45Nm, Renault recommend its changed each time its took off.

If you go to a dealer with your log book they will get it for you. However there are some people on here who can get them if they have access to the online renault thing.

Downloading the repair workshop manual may help. Someone is hosting it on here. Removal of the grill is the easy bit. While its all off Id change the aux belt aswel.

This pic is of the boot on my old 1.2 Clio, all Clios including the 172/182s are exactly the same, its a fairly decent boot size. I manage ok (I have a 5 week old son). The passenger seat has to go far forward to fit a rear facing chair in the rear, but they have ISOfix bars as standard if you...

As above, however some things in it do apply, such as rear disc brakes etc.

Im not sure why theres 2 green wires, theres normally just the one.

The Initiales were supposed to be the most luxurious Clios. The trouble is the French dont really get luxury.

The brown is the live, the greens go to the boot open switch which just isolates the earth.

Car insurance companies suck. When I did the quote it said nothing about extra young driver excesses. I cannot believe im loosing all my NCB's, thats so unfair that I loose them all over 1 tiny little mistake. Im now dreading my renewal quote in July!!

I suppose im going to loose 1 of my 3NCB's aswell..

Its too late, theyve already started repairing it (they are sending me letters on its progress). Ive just checked my documents and the excess is that high because privilege charge an extra young persons excess, so its £500 excess plus £250 young persons (under 25). Ive only just missed out by...

A while back I accidentally reversed into a colleagues Golf at work. It didnt damage my car at all (just a scratch) but it made a big dent in the other cars rear door. I told my insurance but said I dont wont to claim anything on my part. The golf driver claimed and his insurance are...
