Okay we all know the French like their cars to rattle to make matters worse I've added a 12" sub to the boot, and the car really does rattle to fcuk on certain bass lines. Anyone got any tips on what to remove etc..? The rear wiper is spazzing out with the sub on and doesnt do a lot...

I made a post a while back that my rear drums where sounding like it was metal on metal whilst breaking, especially when starting out. It'd go away for a little while but reappear if i didnt touch the brakes for a while. Well, the sound has dissapeared all together now. I knew it was my...

I'm pretty much my leak under my car is gearbox oil, I also don't know whether it's in my head or not - but the gear changes feel not as smooth as they used to. I was wondering if I needed some more oil in the gearbox, it's a MK1 can anyone tell me how to top it up? someone said to me before...

Sorry if this has been covered I can't seem to find it, anyone know where I can get a Cliosport sticker? I want one to go on my boot window at the top center say about 20cm wide or something liek that.

Anyone know how they work? I got out of my car earlier and the thing feels a lot lighter, it doesn't return to it's position after pulling it to open it, ie stays out liek your holding it to open the door, also you have to pull it back further, sounds like a streched cable to me if it goes how...

Mint bodywork wise Renault Clio 1.4 RT Cambelt due, head gasket probably heading south - 90k 1) Pay for the work to be done or 2) Carry on servicing it minus the head and cam until the engine goes bang and drop a replacment lump in from the breakers What would be the most logical...

My sunroof does leak a little bit but today when I pulled away I heard the noise of water splashing, sounds like it's in the car, i checked for any bottles of water there isn't any, i pulled the rubber from the roof lining next to the sunroof theres no water there, if the sunroof leaks does...

My Clio thinks it's a diesel I try to tell him that he's not I even show him the Unleaded sticker our french friends placed on him. Any idea what it might be, you know the sound really tappy, it's got more noticable as of late I'd say and if I turn the sub off I car hear it tapping away...

Hello, How much excluding parts should I be looking to pay for a full service; theres one down my work which wants £140 plus parts and vat. It's convenient as it's just over the road from me but I was wondering if the price is a little extortionate? He said basically have around £250 to hand...

You know that sound heard usually in the morning when you first apply the brakes, sort of like the pads are grinding the sh*te off and what have you. Well everytime I start up after a little break I get this sound, for the first few brake appliances, after that it goes away. Anyone know what...

I'm needing someone local to Surrey who doesn't mind sparing half an hour in exchange for a few quid. Basically I've had my car tracked from KwikFit and the steering wheel is now at the 10'oc position to go straight. I took it back they redone it as I watched, with a steering clamp in the...

Okay lads, had my tracking done at Kwik-Fit, for my sins lol. They've set my Clio up to -1. But now when I go along the wheel is at 10'oc, I took it back they redone it i watched and they did use a steering wheel lock. They're thinking somethings bent on it, I have had a bit or work done in...

How hard is it to fit a backbox, is it a DIY job? No special tools but I could source a big bore steel backbox for £15.

Whats the rule of the thumb for testing shocks? I've had the front two replaced from breakers they look fine visually but just want to make sure as the steering wheel is now out to the left a little.

I've got a problem somewhere, I had the pads and fluid changed about two weeks ago, We used Castrol Response Dot4 Brake Fluid. But now it's nearly black again, and the brakes have lost the byte they had when they were first bleed, there was excessive air coming from the front drivers side...

From a 1.2 to a 1.4 (To combat my 52mm hubs) knock my camber out or is it a straight swap?

Lol need someone whose prepaired to travel to Surrey tommrow and perform an operation on my Clio's. I need the front shocks and hubs from my 1.2 swapped over onto my 1.4 and the front shocks on my 1.4 and hu(b.) (otherone snapped) transfered over to my 1.2 Anyone intrested? Please drop me...

Okay lads, as some of you may already know from my earlier topic. I'm left with a broken hub thanks to a trigger happy press welding polish grease monkey. I have the current hub with me now, I've been to the breakers and all the hubs I see on the clios are diffrent, they all look fatter...

I left the headunit on in my car, with the volume at zero (not on purpose lol). It seems to have drained the battery. Now I'm thinking take the battery out and charge it, but the cars got an immobolizer and alarm and I'm worried that if i disconnect the battery for 24hrs it wont want to start...

Really don't know what to do now, took my hub down to this garage and got him to press an old bearing out and a new one in the silly f@ckwit has only got a broke the brake mounting bracket. Been down to a brakers yard, there was three clios there all with the wrong hub for mine, there was a...

Would 13" Megane Sport alloys fit on my MK1 Clio? I just want some cheap and cheerfull alloys as I'll end up kerbing them anyhow. £40 few scratches no major kerbing (Yet) kitted with Firestone F570 tyres and a spare get you home space saver.

They offer a wheel tracking service for £22, I hit a kerb at 30 about a week back and the handling feels diffrent now, would this tracking consist of adjusting everything or is it just basic wheel alignment? Last time I had it done there I watched a bloke do it he put the car on the ramp and...

Has anyone got any tips on how to stop the nasty rattle coming from my roof, I'm sure some of you have encountered it, sounds like like two ball bearings rolling around in the lining (I have removed the factory fitted loose screw btw.) When I put my hand behind the sunroof i.e about in line...

First off let me wish you all merry xmas, and thanks for all your help and god knows I've needed it with my Renaults. Anyway shes decided she wants a new Steering Rack this week, I was wondering what would a garage charge me to fit one on a mk1 PAS model? Cheers lads.

Okay LOL I thought I've had it all from the Clio's I've owned but a new problem has occured or so I think. Sometimes the steering feels a lot heavier than others, I mean it will be nice and light at one point and heavy the next on the same type surface of road. I've just had new pads...

Just changed my front pads and fluid (which was black) Car brakes soooo much better, however the brakes smell like they're burning is this because they're brand new? Done about 20miles with the new pads on, took a good 5 miles before I really felt anything but they're so sharp now...

...Do they wear out as quick as pads, I whipped my front wheel off today and the pads are pretty much non existant. Got some new pads from Halfords, £13.99 for the front and some Castrol Dot4 fluid for £10.

I might have found the dodgy bearing.. I've jacked each wheel up twice and felt for play by pulling it none at all. Well I've jacked the front two up again and spun them, the right one made a deeper noise tbh I've forgotten how to describe it now but the left one was basically silent the...

Okay lads, I've got a dodgy bearing somewhere on my 1.4 I was wondering would the hub from a 1.2 fit on it? Failing that is the rear and front wheel bearings diffrent sizes as I don't know which bearing is knackard Also, what fluid do you recommend, a mate is coming down on Friday to sort...

I need a bearing replacing in my Clio. When I'm going straight or right it's fine but if I go above 20 and point the steering wheel anything past (Anti clockwise) the 10:00 position I get a low pitched rumble/vibrating feeling. I did take it to a garage they fiddled with the front wheels...
