    Lacking in power

    Has it had a timing belt? MK3 uses the VVT engine, it's a similar setup to the 2.0 16v, timing could be out. They are a reasonably pokey engine so it should feel fine to drive

    ABS

    Got the same problem, popped it on a diagnostic machine to look at live data and 3x abs sensors were showing one reading, the rear o/s was showing a stupid number. Changed that sensor, problem solved.

    RS200 Gordini

    A vote for snappy, he's been doing them for years on here. https://cliosport.net/threads/steering-wheels-snappy-ones.717385/

    Wales 2020 weekend

    That silver 182 is perfection!!!

    Original Windscreen

    I bet they love you kicking up fuss for a genuine windscreen then refusing it 😂 The windscreen supplied is correct, it may not be the same manufacturer as the original when the car was made but it will be the correct part manufactured by whoever was doing Renaults glass at the time it was...

    Ah the ultra rare RN model lol

    Humming from engine

    as above electronic TB, normal, all modern cars do it.

    Really feint hesitation/miss at light throttle

    The rear O2 sensor keeps being mentioned, don't worry about it, it's not controlling anything. The cat will be fucked after years of this too. But if it's pulling fine up the revs it won't be doing any harm or causing the issue, it's just not doing its job and killing the butterfly's! I've come...

    1.6 16v engine

    because of the price of a 1.6 16v Clio, you would need to have a VERY VERY big sentimental connection to the car to make it a viable conversion. I done one years ago but at the time I had managed to pick up a high miles 1.2 Clio for £1500 when all the 1.6 16v Clio's about were over £5k. My most...

    Kangoo Compact (aka Racevan3)

    in Australia (and possibly other markets) they swapped the old 1.6 na for the 1.2 TCE 115, could get it with an EDC box too!

    172 Cup in Black?

    a lot of the imports were registered oddly, I bet this is one of them

    To fix or not to fix...advice please.

    tailgate on ebay currently that looks the same colour https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2006-Renault-clio-mk3-rear-tailgate-boot-blue-NV432/113724238403?hash=item1a7a7e2a43%3Ag%3AbVEAAOSw4YJZZPi9&LH_ItemCondition=3000

    To fix or not to fix...advice please.

    insure it fully comp and claim the windscreen thru your windscreen cover, cost you a £50 excess get the wheels refurbished at a local wheel refurbishing place - £40-£50 a wheel usually. rear boot is the same as any mk3 clio so should be easy to find one in the scrappy, get one in the same colour...

    Does the sports bumpers fit my

    yes. ideally you want the wings too which you will also need the side skirts. but some people do fit the bumpers with the standard wings and just modify it to fit but ive never done it so not sure what they do

    Retro fitting cruise control

    the small piece of loom i needed was from the clutch switch to a connecter further up behind the dash, sounds like your car already has that

    Sports Cat - 200 Cell

    my experience of these cheap sports cats is they never get thru an mot, and if they get thru the first one that's their last lol

    Interesting 172 exclusive forsale

    it would have to have sat for 2years before being registered, it was registered on 16 may 2002 according to its mot history. I'm shocked someone has bided £2k on that already tbh after a quick look it looks like: Its had a full respray which can be seen in the pics is atrocious, and also...

    220T Tuning

    My concern was how hot they run as standard. In the summer after a blast over the dukes pass I couldn't touch my bonnet, add a big intercooler blocking flow to the radiator and a remapped car running hotter, that was a concern for me

    220T Tuning

    Turbo and intake. I hate all this stage 1 and stage 2 chat, where did that come from??!!!!
  20. Martin_172

    Hi all. Back in the Clio camp, V6 Ph1 questions.

    they would need to do a ph1 front end conversion to use the bonnet! (suppose we could call it a facelift since the ph1 is cooler!!)

    Gearbox & Clutch Change on 1.2 16v - Easiest Method?

    Last time I done one I took the box out the top, it was fiddly but easier doing it on the drive that way!

    My new RS200 .Some car. Love it.

    That looks night and day better! Good work

    Retro fitting cruise control

    Yes but your not going to be able to run a system like that using the standard setup of Renault dials, buttons etc
  24. Martin_172

    Retro fitting cruise control

    It's not possible on the ph1 due to the cable throttle.
  25. Martin_172

    My new RS200 .Some car. Love it.

    Lower and stiffer springs and dampers, faster steering rack and red brake calipers all round

    Retro fitting cruise control

    you don't need it to work but it wont auto disconnect when you press the brakes is my understanding.

    The Power PC Thread [f*ck off consoles]

    interesting!, i only really play racing games too which don't seem to be too CPU intensive. My workstation in my man cave I run a 6700k and that system is what 5 years old now? and I'm in no rush to replace it either, I've never kept a main system for 5 years in my life and I've been building my...

    Speedo and rev counter lights dim

    as above if its the dials and radio screen then you've nudged the dashboard dimmer at your knee!

    My new RS200 .Some car. Love it.

    Good spec that with the GT spoiler and speedlines, shame it has no cup pack but easily added! needs to loose the bling under the bonnet and on the intake piping imo!

    The Power PC Thread [f*ck off consoles]

    Ive got a i7 4790 (non K) in my system that runs my cinema room with a 1660 super and it deals with everything i throw at it, however im looking at replacing the 1080p projector with a 4k one but im still tempted to just stick a flagship card in with the 4790 and see how it goes!
