Just wanted to share this with the rest of you. I was on the hunt for some tyres after getting a puncture i decided it was about time to change the lot. Checked out Black Circle Tyres who wanted £320+ fitted so kept looking and stumbled accross: *Ebay* £200 delivered for a new set of 4...

Just a quick question that ive searched for without any luck. How do i access the screen wash bottle in order to remove it for cleaning? (Ph2 172) Mine appears to have some sort of mold growing on the inside of it and im concerned about it clogging the pump. How do i remove the plastic tray...

Not sure if you have read but VOSA have released MOT failure rates. Take a read of this BBC article and they break down the 1200 page PDF into a nice little table. http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/opensecrets/2010/01/mot_failure_rates_released.html Clio is 21.2% aparently to fail an MOT :dapprove...

Hi all, I was discussing this yesturday with Fred from BTM and would like some opinions on options for my car. My flamer currently sits on Eibach Sportlines which is exactly the stance im looking for and i dont want it any lower. But im noticing more and more my ride quality is suffering...

Hi, Didnt really know where else to post this but figured this was as good a place as any. Just received an email via prometric this afternoon. Aparently they are running a promo until 31st December which is offering up to 25% off various Microsoft exams. I might actually finish off my MCSE...

Hi all, I havent posted any pictures of my car up before as i didnt think there was anything that interesting about it when i look at the other topics created in here. I took my car to Pepsi's over the weekend and left it with him while i was away and here are the results: - Cleaned, Clayed...

At the back of the xenon headlight clusters are rubber caps which protect the interior of the unit. Well im missing one. Does anyone know if these can be purchased seperately to the whole unit? Ive tried asking a few people who are breaking clios but obviously they want a premium for selling...

Normally im against naming and shaming but wtf happened to them!? Its renewal time so ive been shopping around as you do waiting for my renewal to come in. It arrived this morning and look how it compares to the others! Sky Insurance = £856. DirectLine = £770. Greenlight = £652. Adrian Flux...

Hi all, Just looking for abit of advice on this. Ive put aside some funds this month to pay someone to give my flamer its first detail since buying it about 5months ago. One of the people ive been talking to has mentioned if i get a touch up pen/kit they can tackle my stonechips at the same...

Wow, literally showroom condition from the looks of it. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/2005-RENAULT-CLIO-RENAULT-SPORT-V6-255-SILVER_W0QQitemZ160373076116QQcmdZViewItemQQptZAutomobiles_UK?hash=item2556faf094 Aparently part of a collection of cars so barely ever used. :eek:

Urgh yet again another simple job complicated on my Clio! Got my Tow Eye from Si which looks great so figured i would just pop it on and be done with it but it wont screw in! Every time i turn it and it starts biting on the thread after about 1 full turn it tightens towards my foglight and...

Drove behind you all the way down Sitwell street from Spondon Village until you turned off towards Albert Looms / B&Q. Silver Ph2 172 - FJ02 KWW reg (i think). Aftermarket exhaust, lexarse lights :dead: and aftermarket alloys.

Came face to face with you on Sitwell Street in Spondon as i stopped and flashed, letting you overtake the parked van on your side of the road. Blue 172 Cup, male driver with passenger. I was in the Ph2 172 Flamer :)

Well normally dont do these kind of posts but pretty speechless about this. My friend stumbled accross this and figured he would share it with me seeing how its Clio related. *fail* Deffinately worth reading through. Summary: Guys showing off his new car, guy is embarrassed by how much he...

Hi all, Just had a full service and belts changed to the tune of £603 at a local garage. Went to drive to work this morning and down the road noticed i had a nice warning light (the heartbeat monitor and coil symbol looking one) and the car refused to go above 2.5k revs regardless of gear...

*click* Was scrolling down the search results and spotted this. :rolleyes:

Hi all, Ive put my clio up for sale on ebay. Im looking to upgrade to a 172 so any offers are considered. *Link* Wish me luck!

Ive noticed something unusual when braking sharply the past couple of times ive needed to. Basically i push the brake pedal down firmly to the point where it feels like i cant push it down anymore. The car slows as expected but just before coming to a stand still the brake pedal sort of...

I dont have access to my Clio at the moment as im stuck at work. Given the below information could anyone tell me what my Front and Rear anti roll bar sizes are please? Ordered some mounts and they require this to process my order. - Mk2 Ph1 1.4 16v Si. Y93 OHN. Cheers.

Hi all, Need alittle advice narrowing down possible options to solve my problem as i know damn well if i go into a garage blind they will just swap everything regardless. Symptom: I have a vibration and alot of road noise when driving thats present throughout my speed but noticeable mainly...

So i was driving home this evening, turned around one of those traffic calming chicanes and hear what sounds like a metalic sliding noise then following by a jangle as something hits the road and bounces alittle. I pulled off at the next road got my torch out and from what i can see there is a...

Hi all, Just changed my SI's 14" 175/xx/xx wheels for a set of 15" 195/xx/xx Ph1 alloys. Had these balanced and fitted by Quik Fit for convinence on Monday. My car has now developed a constant low rumble noise and the steering wheel vibrates from 50mph+. I was under the impression anything...

Hi all, Just bought a new set of alloys. My 1.4Si is currently on its standard 14" bad boys and ive picked up what i hope is abit of an ebay bargin in the form of some Ph1 15" alloys and tyres. Anyway while im in the process of fitting a new set of wheels do you think it would be worth it to...

Hi all need some advise on this. Had a new clutch in my Ph1 to fix a VERY stiff and high biting clutch problem i was experiencing. This has worked and my clutch no longer requires stamping on to push down! :) However... My engine idle is now down around 500 revs and when pulling off from...

Apologies if this is the wrong section, but it isnt really a fault (yet). Ive noticed over the last couple of thousand miles my car (Ph1 1.4 SI) has developed a sort of metalic ticking sound when idling. Upon inspection this seems to come from within or under the engine? Its also not constant...

Spotted today @ 8:30pm. I came out of watching Dark Knight and noticed these 2 clios parked on the next row over. Anyone from here?

Hi all, My rear window Renault Elf sticker appears to be dry and cracked. You touch it and it flakes off onto the parcel shelf. Texture kinda looks like an elephants arse at the moment :/ Does anyone know where you can get replacement ones? Ive check Ebay and theres a couple of "Elf"...

Hi, On Sunday i p/x'd my 1.2 Grande for a 1.4 Sport (Mk2 Ph1's). They are both the same model of car and both similiar engines or at least so i thought. The 1.4 Sport ive picked up is horrible to drive in comparison. It bites really high and the clutch itself is very stiff, it even makes a...

Hi a quick question about the Mk2 Ph1 Clio Alize's spec. Im confused. Looking at the Clio Alize they seem to share alot of the specs only available on the Mk2 Ph1 "sports". - Electric windows - Passenger airbag - Foglights - Updated Dash (centre console) Does this mean they also have the...

Having only ever driven my car i cant really judge what kind of performance increase i would "feel" from the next step up so to speak. Basically ive got a 1.2 8v and im looking to P/X it in for a 1.4 16v. Is this really going to make that much of a noticeable impact on performance between...
