Don't forget to allow atleast £800 for any repairs you'll need to make seeing as it's french ;)
On a serious note make sure it's had the belts done if it's over 5 Years old or 72k Miles and Aux belt if it's done 32k miles. You probably knew that but plenty of people neglect that fact and it's...
Re: Looking to buy a Cliosport - A little lost. Where do I start!?
RenaultSport Clio if you want to be picky.
Have you checked in the for sale section on the forum mate?
Usually the best place as they've been owned by enthusiasts :)
What upgraded manifold can he possibly have?
No-one makes one.
It's already tubular steel.
The only manifold upgrade I hear of is 182 onto a 172.
Ive got Pipercross Viper, 2.5" Full system inc decat, Matched inlets, CatCam 421s and I'm not running 224bhp! lol
422s?
Are they new or have they been out a while? Only ask as i havent heard them mentioned before, only 421 & 428.
I'm looking at iTBs for the near future to go with my 421s :)

Next Week:
Front Lambda Sensor
Coolant Temp Sensor
Thats all i think :S
Nah. Takes some time to come up to center(ish)
Ive seen another RS Tuner log of a front O2 sensor and his waves are alot taller than mine so i think its buggered.
Im not sure if the CTS is faulty, But it has done 80k miles so why not.
Fred so you have to drain the coolant to change the CTS...
Nah not yet, but the temp display seems to sit dead centre time after time day after day,same since the day i bought it.
Need to register then and get in touch with Paul
Fred shall I data log the CTS and upload it?
I have a log of the O2 sensors but Photobucket is playing up so cant upload it :(
Ideally I need to get the cheapest sensor done and then have an emissions test done somewhere other than the MOT garage so I don't waste my free retest.
Would it be...
Cleared the faults, took it for a drive and the O2 sensor error hasn't reappeared.
Ive found a split in my silicone elbow, could it be this?
Also i've had MAF sensor fault codes appear in the past but they're not present at the moment.
It had been run home from work, about half hours drive and left to sit for about 5 mins while i ran up for the rs tuner and then started again. Gotta go out for a quick spin in a min so when its hot i'll do another reading.
I may put the rear one in the front hole then, or i could stop being a...
I am there regularly mate - lol
It still shows 25+mpg on the dash though :S
RS Tuner shows rear O2 sensor so think it may be getting changed.
Before that though may take it out for a long drive and then have it emission tested by a mate whos an MOT tester.
Oil engine temp on todays test was...
My 172 has failed its MOT today.
Failed on a couple of minor things and then the emissions. Values are quite high and so could do with some advice if possible?
Fast Idle Test :
CO - 9.42% Vol
HC - 953 ppm
Lambda - 0.73
2nd Fast Idle Test
CO - 11.66% Vol
HC - 1865 ppm
Lambda - 0.65
Natural...
Its handling badly yea. Follows runs in the road etc.
Its going in to Fred@BTM nxt week anyway for Catcams Cambelt etc so i'll ask him to have a look at it for me.
