In 5 years I've owned 5 RS Clios
Odyssey Blue Phs1 172
172 Clio Cup
Racing Blue 182
Petrol Blue 182
But my favourite Clio and car for the wrong reasons is the white phase 1 Clio 172.
I bought the shell and built it up on my driveway from pretty much bare with the cage already in to a road...
There's a hook on the inside of the petrol filler cap to hang the cap on when filling up with the V Power :o
The number of people (in general) I've seen that put their keys on the roof of their car when filling up.

I took these down in Sussex near Brighton a week back with my Canon bridge camera. Only point and shoot pics as I haven't worked out or tried adjusting anything yet.

Weird that ECP don't sell them as a mate bought the gasket from them weeks ago. Apparently silghtly thicker too creating a better seal than the genuine Renault item. I'm refitting the cat and was gonna pop into ECP to buy a kit
The same problem happened to my 182 a couple of months ago, i checked the plugs, fine, unplugged the injectors one by one and all were ok, swapped ignition leads, still running on 3. It turned out to be a faulty coilpack only a few months, it wasn't a genuine part from Renault but a Eurocarparts...
A friend of mine does cleaning/detailing, i guess as a hobby so i let him loose on the Clio last Sunday. Foam, wash, clay, machine polish, wax etc. Anyway, pics below. Turned out well i think and was also a chance to have the wheels off and clean the wheelarches and coilovers.

Cheers, pretty sure it's opposite Thorpe Bay yacht club.
Davo172, it has the Spax full coilover suspension. Sitting lower than OE, not too crazy as its an everyday car. Although I've been offered a set of 16" Pro Race 1.2 wheels in black so I'd lower it a bit more if I went for that option.

I've just fitted OE rear discs today, non OE rear discs were fitted in April by the previous owner and the bearing on the drivers side has already spat its dummy out after only 5 months.
I change as a pair, my Renault parts guy priced new rear bearings to me and they were only £4 cheaper...
Been down to Matt Codered to have the new OE rear discs and deflector washers fitted today. The non OE bearings lasted all of 4 months! Rule of thumb for me is always fitting genuine rear discs and Matt had them fitted in less than an hour, so a big thanks to him
That happened to mine a while back, the ABS sensor wires weren't clipped back to the bulkhead and ended up melting on the exhaust manifold throwing up the lights. Intermitent to start then permanently stayed on. I had Matt from Codered replace the wires between the module and the sensors (from a...
