My local garage has had a look at the steering on my Clio RT, been advised that it'll fail its MOT if I don't get it done. There's about 2" of play in the steering before the wheels turn. Been told that its the 'RV' in the steering column. Initially they advised that this part could only be...

I'm probably being really dense here but what does the 'two bucket method' of washing the car consist of other than two buckets??? lol I pride myself on the fact that my Meg never gets too dirty anyway so usually a quick rinse, followed by lambs wool washmit with car shampoo, then rinse...

The missus 182 Cup has just over 13k on the clock, green induction kit and powerflow back boxes. Noticed that in the last couple of months, when the cars cold going up hill the revs seem to die down to the point where you have to change down to 2nd. The other night it did it to the point...

Caught a glimpse of this stunning beast driving accross Kenley Aerodrome (Surrey). Apart from not indicating well turnin accross me at a roundabout, he then drove with such speed I couldn't keep up. Granted I was in a big black van at the time!!! lol

I know somone on here's got one on their rather tasty Clio. I just wondered where it had come from and how much etc etc. I kinda fancied one for my Megane thats all. :D Its not the most common thing over here so any info would be great.

I've got a 1993 non injected 1.4 Clio RT. Anyway to put an induction kit on it???? Not exactly performance but thought I'd ask. :D

Anyone know what size speakers would be in the doors of a 1993 Clio RT???? The standards ones are a bit pony and I'm looking to replace them with some cheap co-axial jobs. Also are there tweeters in the dash or is it just the speakers in the doors???

The missus 182 Cup has just been into Renault to have a noise investigated. Its a creaking noise, only hear it at low speed such as parking or creeping over speed bumps etc. Can't really tell where the noise comes from except that it seems to be towards the front. They have had the car...

I was just taking a few shots of my 225 after giving it a good going over and took some pics. Liked these reflections anyway -

Basically.................is it difficult on a Mk1 Clio??? I've just ordered a ready primed Clio RT front bumper which I'm gonna get the bodyshop to spray up but to save on costs I plan on taking the old one off and fitting it myself. Anyone know how difficult it is or problems I could...

My missus Clio 182 Cup has been making some odd noises and is booked in for it to be looked at under warranty. It seems to make a slight creaking noise, not when driving at speed but at slow speeds. If you creeping over a speed bump or when parking and stopping slowly. The car was looked...

Does anyone know if a 1993 Clio RT exhaust would be bolted on or welded? I've been offered a Powerflow back box for mine at a really good price but trying to work out how easy its gonna fit. The back box was originally off a 1991 Clio 1.2 RN. Any help much appreciated. :D

Got a 93 Clio RT 1,4 has 69.5k on the clock and driver well except one thing. The gear change from 1st into 2nd sometimes crunches, almost like I haven't put the clutch down in time. Doesn't happen from 2nd to 3rd and almost seems a bit worse after its warmed up or on a fast change...

Well the car was £600 which I didn't think was bad for a 69k 1.4RT. Plenty of features and drives spot on. Had a bit of rust that I've had removed and a dent on the door. Also the passenger door lock had been bent in by someone with a screwdriver but managed to replace the whole door from a...

Ok, spent a good few hours yesterday cleaning my 225. Gave it a thorough wash, followed by an hour of me applying carnuba wax and using an orbital buffer to get it all shiny. Now, the reason I did all that is coz I'm doing a night shift next week and lates the week after so the car won't...

Noticed at the weekend that the missus two front tyres will need replacing in then next couple of weeks. Couple of questions though.... Its only done 12k, she doesn't drive it hard I sometimes have a 'spirited drive' but never light the front tyres up or rag it etc. Is 12k about right for a...

What do people reckon to the movile dent removers that are about?? Just as I thought my little £600 Clio RT was looking kinda sweet (only had it a week and a bit) it looks like someone has either hit it with a trolly or heavy door. Fairly big dent so shouldn't leave a crease but has...

I've just got a 1993 Clio RT, but as you'd imagine some of the black trim has gone a very sh!te shade of grey!! Apart from back to black, which just makes it a kinda shiny gray. Is there anything else that can be applied to get the trim black again??? Other than nicking parts off a newer...

Had a day off work so thought I'd get some quotes on repairing the bodywork on this Clio I've just bought. Well to repair the key lock on the passenger door I've been quoted £250-£300 as the metal would need straightening, filling and spraying. For the surface rust it'll be £150 which I...

Any ideas why the gears would be slightly less smooth going from 1st to 2nd, 2nd to 3rd. Or vice versa, seems to mostly be around 2nd gear though. Doesn't always seem to be a problem, maybe its just me not timing the clutch properly as its on a new car I just got. Its a 1.4 Cliot RT on a...

As some of you may have seen, I recently bought a Mk1 Clio 1.4 as a replacement for my runabout, Renault 5. This model has power steering but I have to say there is a fair bit of play in the steering wheel. So when driving along it almost feels like the steering wheel isn't connected to the...

Having owned a Clio 1.2 Oasis, then a Clio 1.2 Grande followed by a Clio 172. I've now come full circle and ended up buying a 1.4 Clio RT. Its a replacement for my Renault 5 which got deliberately written off by some angry driver on Saturday. He paid for the 5 to be replaced in cash so...

Are there any benefits apart from the extra noise if the centre box on the exhaust is removed on a Clio 182 Cup? Been offered it to be done for £80 and with funds tight for extras on her 182, is this worth doing?

What a f*cking hassle all because of Halfords. They sell me a set of 15" rims, 'sorry we don't have the fitting kit' but they'll have one in later in the week. Ar$e!!! Anyway me being impatient I thought I'd get em bolted on without the spiggot ring and put them on later in week. Well...

Right, I bought some rims for my Renault 5. Size wise compared to the arches they look like they're gonna fit no problem. Only thing is, Halfords didn't have the 'fitting kit' for them. From what I gathered a 'fitting kit' is a set of bolts for it. Well thankfully I've got a set of bolts...

Not sure if this one has been put up so apologies if this is a repost! :D http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/2004-RENAULT-CLIO-RENAULTSPORT-182-16V-ORANGE_W0QQitemZ250077669165QQihZ015QQcategoryZ9861QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem P.S - If this is a repost, don't just put repost coz thats just bent.

Has anyone removed theirs and replaced it with an aftermarket one? If so, how did you get the OE one off?? Is it glued on, screwed on etc?? Any help would be great as the one in my gf's 182 Cup is a bit boring and she's got her eyes on a couple of different gear knobs. cheers

Spotted my second car in a car park on Saturday. I knew I'd sold it too someone local but surprised to see the car still local over 3 years later. Nice to see its still going strong. It did look like this when I owned it - It had a set of Wolfrace 15" wheels, black sun strip, Pioneer...

I've just bought a JVC headunit for my Renault 5. Removed the old cassette deck without a problem. Trouble is I've connected the new head unit to the existing connections but nothing. No power or response from the headunit at all. I have noticed that of the two connecting plugs that...

Ok here's the thing. My Megane had its first service the other week, even though its only got 2500 miles on, has to be done to maintain the warranty. It cost me £172 from Renault Croydon My missus took her Clio 182 Cup in for its first service, its got 10,500 miles on it but it cost...
