could it be a bad batch of fuel? i would try filling up with fuel from another station and see if it helps the problem, it will go someway to dilute the bad fuel that is already in there (if that is the problem) have you changed or had any other problems with the car recently ?

would a helicoil be ok for this job ? i have heard they can pack up after a few oil changes or am i talking crap ? that would be the easier option compared to tapping as i would need to source a bigger sump nut with tapping

thanks 172Ben

cheers for your help...anyone else confirm the exact size...along with pitch ?! cheers

a marigold on the hand has also worked for me in the past with a stubborn filter, but tbh there is plenty of room on the clio to get your hand in there without the use of a tool

yeah i voted.... completely standard 172 cup

i like it, glad to see alot of you have named yours :)

as above, have you named yours ? :)

any ideas what thread the sump nut is ?

have you checked the throttle cable? or is it fly by wire on clios? (sorry i am still learning about the 172's) :-)

thanks for the help lads, glad its not a sump off job! Now lets hope i can release the little bugger!

thanks ste, i assume i will need to remove the sump to tap it out ?

cheers for the guide, used it earlier when doing my plugs :) got my plugs off ebay for 30 quid delivered, not sure why its then and only them though !

changed my plugs and air filter earlier but couldn't manage the oil, it looks like the sump nut has been cross threaded possibly...what are my options ?

I never dry my cars after washing as i imagine this would cause a degree of swirling/scratching. I prefer to let it dry naturally (i can live with a few streak marks!)

like it looks nice and original :-)

looks nice, just how cups should look :) gii noticed the cliosport sticker, did you buy it from a member ? only had my cup 2 weeks too !

good work, looks like one looked after clio :)

good job, it turned out really well!

if your in the northwest get yourself down to northwest performance
