    Clio 172 ph1- black, OEM restoration.

    There's a seller on eBay that sells febi bilstein rear beam bushes that come with new nuts and bolts for under £30, I bought a set purely for the nuts and bolts as Renault had them in back order and the bushes look fantastic quality, just as good as OEM. Doddle to change too

    Martin's Clio DCi Van

    Cracked on with this yesterday as I've not had much time recently with everything going on in the world! Finally got time to drop the old rusty, drum wearing rear beam off! Spent all day rubbing down the 182 rear beam and painted it black and forgot to take any photos DOH!!! Fitted a set...

    Should I buy a Clio sport for a daily ?

    I love my 182 I just feel any time I daily drive it for an extended period of time it gets very tiresome. On the right road, on the right day, a few times a month it's fantastic but sitting in traffic it's loud, uncomfortable, unrefined, heavy clutch, heavy steering, needs revved to make...

    Should I buy a Clio sport for a daily ?

    maybe I'm just getting old but I cant think of anything worse than daily driving a mk2 Clio. I daily drove a mk3 for a year at the time about 40 miles a day and it was spot on, night and day over my mk2's MK4 was the best daily I've had but over budget and no manual as you say

    Clio Williams gearbox

    Sounds possible, there is a gearbox guru on here but his name escapes me

    Clio Williams gearbox

    My understanding is a jc5 does fit but you would need a ph1 172 or 172 cup one with the Speedo drive?

    1.5 dci no start.

    very vague description so it could be 1 million things but ill take a stab in the dark at the most common and say its a fucked injector or 2 or 3 or 4 and that's why its not starting as the rail isn't seeing enough pressure to fire. chances are if an injector or 2 is on the way out the pump...

    Clio 200 g’box query

    usually will present its self shifting to 3rd and 4th first, change into 3rd at 7400rpm or what ever the beep is it and you will feel it crunch if its on its way out

    172 Insurance young driver

    When is it time to call it a day?

    Keep it as a toy, I couldn't be bothered driving one daily but as a toy they are hard to beat

    Rare Sight?

    agree, but you always hit that peak where it peaks then starts to go down hill, just shows if well serviced that's probably not until at least after 150-170k!

    Rare Sight?

    181 next time id say. While there will always be variances in RR's, running on the same rollers at the same place is as close as your going to get to keeping it accurate and getting to measure your results of your work! Looks like a strong engine that one, good given the miles just shows that...
