Heres my 1.2:

I cant remember whos this was, it was posted on here years ago: I have 172 Cup (lowered 40mm) wheels on my car:

I had quite a few things off him, he is a member on Cliosport, hes the guy that now runs Rentech I think.

Looks better than the future RS :S

My car has passed an MOT with a big crack in the foglight. In an MOT test I think they only check the rear. http://www.motester.co.uk/cog.html

Sorry dont know info you need but glad to see a fellow 5 door clio owner on the site.

Same here, its 2 miles away.

I think its the passenger side in the engine compartment and seems to be quite low down too.

BUMP, anyone? Had a look in haynes manual and mentions a leaking gasket or vacuum hose. Can it be that serious, it isnt that loud and there has been no loss in performance.

My clio is lowered 40mm on 16s and have never had a problem with speed bumps, even with people in the back.

When idling I can hear my engine whistling, kind of sounds like a bird. What is it, anything serious? Its the 1.2 D7F engine. Dave

I dont think you can buy them colourcoded from Renault they are either plastic colour or primed, best to take your sidestrips to a good bodyshop and get them sprayed.

Ive recently had new shoes, drums and cylinders, shortly after one of my rear bearings went. I would get the bearings done as when you take the rear drums off its advisable to get a new hub nut, bearing kits for Renaults should come with this nut. 1.2 8v models have thicker shoes, I think all...

BUMP, anyone?

I have original doorcards as couldnt get hold of new ones at the time, just the seats.

One of my back doors wont open as the central locking seems to have jammed. I have took the door card off and had a look but you cant really get to the motor without opening the door and unscrewing it from the edge. Any ideas how I get the door open? You cant pull the door pin up for some...

I have 2003 Dynamique interior in my 2000 Clio. Its a straight forward swap but the wiring is different. You just have to change some wires around to get the seatbelt light and pretensioners to work. The new seats have different connectors for heaters, side airbags etc.

Yeah you need a certain version of java, adobe acrobat and quicktime for it to work, it doesnt work on my pc but works on my girlfriends with windows ME if i change screen to 640/480 in 16bit colour.

Does this apply to the mk2ph1 Clios?

No good at photoshop im afraid, but just had to say your car looks smart enough as it is.

Heres my 1.2, its also one of the only 5 doors on the site.

Replied by PM.

Surely one of the cars must have a tool kit? Out of interest do the wheels from the new mini (being 4X100pcd) fit the clio ok?

Carboncopy had a nice clio with a carbon bonnet before he brought the 172, someone must have pics.

There is a white dial on the back of the cluster that adjusts the alignment but it could be that the servo needs adjusting, take out the servo and you can adjust how much the arm reaches out (the more it reaches out the higher the lights are). Hope that helps.

You could always buy one of those car heater things you just plug in the fag lighter, its probably better than the clio heater anyway. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/New-Powerful-12V-200W-Car-Heater-Boat-Caravan-suitable_W0QQitemZ8016411314QQcategoryZ9885QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

When I start my car from cold I get a short grinding noise after the engine starts, however it doesnt happen when it is warm. It sounds like the starter motor is sticking or something is that what it is and how can it be fixed?

Think thats normal for Clio's tbh. I work 4 miles away and by the time I get there on some mornings it has only just got warm.

I doubt you would be able to fix it, it will probably be a sealed thing you cant take apart. Assuming its not a fuse or a bad connection all you have to do is take the wiper arm off, then take off part of the windscreen cowl panel under the window on the drivers side and then whip off the 3 or...

Spotted a silver 172mk1 with dark black or anthracite wheels near the A20/A28 roundabout in south east London area, cant remeber where exactly as I was lost because of the accident that shut part of the M20. Im sure I have seen this car on the site before.
