    anyone missing there air con?

    Mines isn't working currently. Really need to get round to getting it fixed. Hopefully it's just needing regarded although I noticed that one of the pipes looks like it has been damaged.

    Sensor next to the filter

    Cheers. It looks like its leaking oil quite badly through the switch itself. Looking like a trip to renault to get a replacement.

    What have you done to your car today ???

    Don't get me wrong, it's a great wee car. I just wish I'd held off and got the colour I really was after. The black does clean up well but it stays clean for about a day and that's it. Think I just have to treat it to a few bits an pieces and all will be fine again.

    What have you done to your car today ???

    Gave it a wash. Looked it and wished I'd waited and bought a Monaco blue or racing blue one instead.

    Sensor next to the filter

    As the title says what is the sensor just to the left of oil filter? I think it's the oil pressure sensor but I'm not to sure. Can any one confirm or deny this. Thanks

    Are clio 172 reliable cars?

    Just done a 250 mile trip around the highlands the day. Didn't miss a beat and was pretty good on petrol aswell considering the roads. I've had it just over a year now and apart from the alternator and a track rod end going nothing has went wrong with it. Much better than my old car which was a vw.

    How accurate is the oil level sensor on the onboard computer?

    Seems to be quite accurate. Still check it with the dipstick when I give it a wash just to be sure.

    What have you done to your car today ???

    The rubber bit just doesn't look up to much on the standard mounts. So much better. No longer hits of the rear beam and should last longer ;)

    cleaned, polised & waxed my iceberg

    The wheels contrast nicely with the paintwork. Very nice

    Uprated / modified exhaust mounts

    Think ill do this to mine now that the original one is proper dead now.The rubber that should be in decided it didn't want to be part of the car at some point the day so I won't need to bother cutting it out lol.

    What have you done to your car today ???

    Took it for it mot. Failed unfortunately. Needs a new track rod end and two of the springs are fractured so need replaced.

    My first Clio sport

    Such a nice colour. Looks like its been well looked after.

    Wierd noise around inlet area

    It's the throttle body. Mines does it and my old car done it. I'm not sure why though.

    recomend me an oil :)

    I would recommend Fuchs pro race. I've noticed that in mine it's has helped reduce the amount that it is using since changing to it. Not that it should be using oil anyway but that's another issue though.

    What have you done to your car today ???

    Gave it a quick wash, de-bobbled the front seats and treated the leather and gave it a Hoover.

    To Anyone With Worn Alacantra Seats

    I have to agree. I've used one on mine and was surprised how much it helped. Once its warmed up a bit i'll give it a go again and do the lot.

    RUK recall letter received today?

    My later came in on Friday. There's a receipt to say it had been done about 5 years ago but I'll get them to check it again for piece of mind.

    LY 200 in Crossford

    As above. Just along from the pitfirrane. Had recaros aswell. I've seen it a few times. Always nice an clean

    TC, SERV and ABS light (only at startup?)

    Mines also does it. My thought is that when the car starts, the voltage drops enough to confuse the ecu. Once it's started it's fine. Only think this because when my alternator died these lights came on. Eventually the rest of them came on before it died. I've no idea why they'd all come on...

    Looks mint.

    Petrol light not coming on?

    Can't say I've noticed mine come on either yet the bulb works. Filling it right up usually confirms that the fuel gauge is a bit innacurate when its past a quarter of a tank. The trip computer seems more accurate at telling how much is left.

    cold start buzzing/whine

    Mine does it. I think it's the power steering pump. Goes away after about 30 seconds.

    another! Starting problem.. tried the obvious i think!

    Mines done the same thing. In the end the problem turned out to be the alternator was knackered so the battery was flat. If it does start check to see that your getting between 13/14 volts across the battery to make sure that it is charging.

    Whining noise under acceleration

    I agree. Best taking it to someone who knows what there doing. I just thought it may be something similar to what mines was doing. Dodgy idler pulley on the aux belt.

    How many miles has your Clio done ?

    91k on mines. Done 10k of those when I got it back in June.

    Whining noise under acceleration

    Was about £470 from swr. Resealed the rocker cover while the belt was off aswell. Tbh I'd say its more likely to be something to do with the aux belt. It's more exposed than the cam belt. Also I think one of the pulleys on it sits quite low behind the wheel arch liner so there's a chance waters...
