Yeah its the clutch thrust bearing, if I move the clutch fork with my hand on the front of the engine it doesnt do it. Its nothing serious and only does it when its really cold and damp, Im leaving it until it needs a new clutch.

Clart do you know anywhere in Hinckley/Nuneaton area that refurbs wheels?

My car has same problem, its the thrust bearing, does it when its cold and damp, if I hold the clutch fork on the front of the engine and move it slightly it stops.

Good guide John. Can we have this in the aricles section? It might be worth mentioning the wiring for the seats is different for mk2ph1s and mk2ph2s. The ph2s have 1 big connector that u have to work out which 2 wires is for the pretensioners.

Renault Clio 2000 1.2 8V Standard engine on 80k miles Road use, short and long journeys Current oil changed every 8k miles using Duckhams fully synthetic 15W 40 as per haynes manual. Recommendation for engine?

Ahh, so really its a bargain then!

Found this valver on 33k but says its on "v-car". What does this mean?

Looks great Giles, they have made a good job, it inspires me to get my spoiler done.

^Not when you have a 5 door Clio. I havnt seen any yet that match, only for a 3 door.

Yeah I have my existing door cards, get the dynamique/extreme interior, the Cups is nothing special. Mine have adjustable headrests on front and rear and the drivers seat is height adjustable. They are much more comfortable and have more side support than standard. Thinking about it I dont...

If the brakes are bad and binding you will have to slacken the handbrake cable adjuster. Then insert a screwdriver in the wheel bolt hole to push the operating lever on the brake shoe to retract the brakes. Otherwise undo the 30mm, then bolt the wheel back on, then pull the wheel so it comes...

I changed my basic interior for a 03 dynamique interior which is same as the 172 but they are not leather and alcantara. I paid £120 off ebay.

Its better than I expected it to be, however I would only buy one if it came with 15s instead of 17s and had a turbo :cool: .

I would like some aswell but I dont really want to pay over £45.

After a polish.

Where did you order them from jpex?

Keep it, any pics?

Glad to hear its all sorted now after all your bad luck. It would be good to see R30BC Clio back in the club, it was such a good looking car.

LOL that reminds me of when Herbie was trying to commit suicide off the bridge!

Standard on all mk2ph2 but not on the earlier mk2ph1s, only the very low spec ones mostly made before 2000 dont have it.

Heres mine if its any help:

Ah I have seen this before, its also been done on a ferrari.

After posting a while ago about my car whistling like a birdy, and from the advice given on here (alternator, aux belt etc) it turns out its the clutch making the noise. When its cold and damp I can hear a loud whistling, if you push the clutch fork on the front of the engine it stops but...

What do you expect though the 182 is the top of the range model where the 1.2 courtesy cars are the very basic model. The basic 1.2 is a cheap to buy/run practical and safe car, not all non renaultsport clios are cack.

The plugs are the same you just need to change some of the wires around in the plug. I think eviljohn has the wiring diagram saved, I lost mine.

After the old one is chopped off how would you stick the 172 nob on? It would have to be pretty solid and strong

I would also like to know this, quite a few people must have changed them.

Yes the spoiler will fit. Sideskirts will fit or the rear bumper (may need to drill 2 holes) but with the front bumper you will need new wings, bonnet, light clusters, grill etc.

Nice car there, going to polish mine tomorrow. PS I like the F1 sticker!

I remember Smokeys car it looked spot on with carbon bonnet and similar coloured wheels. I did have some pics saved but cant find them.
