    Would you swap a ph2 for a Ph1?

    W reg all had the alloy and shift light, X reg seemed to be luck of the draw, also most crash repair centres just fitted the heavy bonnet!

    Whining 2007 Mk3 Clio

    Alternator, we had one do it while car was under warranty, Renault messed about refusing to change it until it seized and to ok the belt with it!

    How much would you pay for a mk2 dci?

    Facebook market place is where it's at I've picked up loads of mk2s for £100-£400 and punted them on trader/ scumtree for £500+ personally I'd pay up to £1500 for a nice spec and condition 80/100, preferably an 80

    172cup vs 200cup

    it's epas but it's good! I never saw it as a negative, my Mrs has a mk4 clip with the same epas your talking about and the epas in my mk4 220 feels like a different car, it's all in the setup/calibration

    Would you swap a ph2 for a Ph1?

    id only swap if I was committed enough to strip it bare and tackle any rust issues before they become a problem

    Martin's Clio DCi Van

    cheers, its not a bad job tbh once you have the dials out the car, infact the electric window switches were more fiddly to change the lights! assuming these stand the test of time for a few miles I might start doing some for people! Today since i had a set of dynamique clocks i decided it...

    Martin's Clio DCi Van

    success!!! Went to the scrappies and picked up a set of Dynamique clocks so red needled, silver surround etc bit nicer looking but ultimately they also have a trip computer so now all I need is a stalk with the button on the end and ill have one too! stripped them an swapped out the LED's and...

    172cup vs 200cup

    I thought that too until I bought one, Clio RS always brings a smile to your face but I was regularly in the car myself giggling out loud in the twingo, I chased a poorly driven audi S4 a few years ago in mine down a pretty fast road with some decent bends, not just a tight backroad and before I...

    172cup vs 200cup

    the engine differences between 197 and 200 read really well on paper but in reality I never noticed much difference, but the chassis made a difference I put 200 cup dampers on my 197 R27 and there was a massive difference id liked to have done the steering rack too. Akrapovic evolution exhaust...

    172cup vs 200cup

    ive had every RS clio from a ph1 172 to a mk4 220 trophy (excluding a V6) and my thoughts are, out of the full range imo the mk3 197/200 is the best pure drivers car, it has the perfect mix of being old skool hot hatch with modern traits. people regularly say the 197/200 feels too grown up and...

    Uneven ride height

    is it running the same lower arms on both sides? not extra castor on one side and pre cup on the other? have a look at the angle the lower ball joints are coming out from the arm, if you look at the car from side on, if it has extra castor the wheel will sit closer to the front bumper rather...

    na switches all need to come apart then cut out the old bulb and solder in the new ones, bit fiddly! but ive never done it before so was just taking my time

    Martin's Clio DCi Van

    started attacking the interior switches and swapping them over to white LED's before... middle... After... done the central locking and rear heated screen button too.. need to go back to the scrappies and get a set of dynamique dials with the trip computer and the stalk with the button to...

    Yellow brown gunk on cap

    its condensation in the plastic rocker cover, nothing to worry about and if you take it to a garage you will end up paying for an un needed head gasket as ive heard plenty do before lol

    1.5 dci daily

    usually loads at the scrappies, I got 4 full kits (coolers and the 3x pipes) for £20 each a few months back and sold them on ebay

    1.5 dci daily

    mapped 80's are the sweet spot imo! so if its a 65 then an intercooler and 80/100 injectors are the way to go!

    220 Sport/Race settings.

    I find sport a bit useless and drive in race 90% of the time and normal 10% of the time. reason being if I want to just cruise about in auto then normal mode is just fine, if I want full control over the gearbox and the fastest changes and best noises then race is perfect, sport sits oddly in...

    2001 Clio 1.4 16v Running Lumpy/Shaking

    lambda after cat wont affect running just give you a warning light as far as I know it will be the pre cat one if its a lambda causing the issue which would be my next port of call since you have done the coils (common on this engine) and the plugs since it hasn't been serviced
