Ok cheers. The PH1 has a a silver centre console which is layered with the same stuff that they use on the door pulls. With the door pulls I had to go back to the plastic as they had melted but the centre console is in pretty good condition so I didn't really want to do that if I could get away...

Ive decided that I want my gearknob and the silver part of the centre console to match my door pulls which are in Iceberg Silver. As the console has that rubbery/plastic coat on it and its in fairly good nick I was just going to etch into it with a medium grade sand paper instead of...

I also wrap the middle hanger in a few cable ties to stop it extending too much. This seems to have helped slow down the wear on both hangers

Thats not what I wanted to hear!! Anyone else had a go?

As title is there a certain knack to removing the central heater vents on a PH1?

I had to replace my drivers side boot clip the other day as it had come off. I'm not sure how long it had been off but there was still grease in the joint. How can I check that its not damaged?

Its the one that k-tec sell but I got it for a very reasonable price 2nd hand because a new owner of a 172 couldn't insure the car with it on. Ive got a stainless system and it increased noise a little bit.

Ive got one on my 172, It gave a good increase in low down torque and engine response but I wouldn't pay the full price for one.

No offence but if you can feel a diference between two different air filters then you want to start advertising your services as a human rolling road!

Its on the left hand side of the engine and you need to look for fraying and cracks in the rubber but it will be very hard to tell if its likely to snap or not. I would be more worried about the cambelt if its 5 years old TBH. Does your cousin have the proper Renault locking tools for the...

Theres the top engine mount, then top and bottom gearbox mounts and the dogbone mount underneath. I know K-Tec have done some improved mounts but i'm not sure how people are finding them.

Are you seriously suggesting a ClioSport couldn't beat any of the Italian supercars........;)

Topgear was comparing the RS to a Ford GT a few months ago because its easier to drive fast along a mountain road. This is exactly the same sort of test. A car in a lower segment ie the clio has been comparred against a more powerful car because it can out handle it in certain situations. I...

I think you may have been stiched up... It might be worth PMing one of the mods to see what they say

I would do suspension and brakes first. Then learn how to drive the car properly before seeking power mods.

Some of the cars in this thread are using way too much oil IMO. A little is acceptable but anything more than a couple of hundred ml every 1000miles would worry me. First thing to do is to check for leaks properly and not by just looking at the ground where you park your car. You need to get...

Mikalor clamps are very very good and well worth the money over u-clamps. If you get the front onto axel stands then access to the manifold bolts is not too bad, but you can't get the car too far in the air as you need somebody to reach inside the engine bay to get a socket onto the other side...

Mine uses a little but not allot. I think 1 litre every 1000miles is within Renault tollerences but I would be concerned if my car suddenly started using that much.

Very true, I had a disertation and 8 pieces of coursework to do since Christmas yet I still found time to check my car and give it a service etc

I don't understand why people don't take insurance out on trackdays. The CSL has a curved spolier built into the boot lid so its just a normal M3

Mines on 92k and the leather is wearing think very slightly on the drivers bolster by the door but apart from thats its fine.

White badges with RB lettering and white interior dash strips (theres a thread on it somewhere and it looks really smart)

Theres no need to jack the car up either

It should come on everytime you start the car and when it shows if you press the button on the end of the wiper stalk it shows you the oil level. The oil ok is there to tell you your oil level is fine. However i'm not sure what it shows when you do not have enough oil.

Have you had a good look around for leaks?

Do any belts need doing or have they been done?

Theres definitely enough of us to blockade Renault Customer Services

The Mk2's have a SERV light. BUT it only comes on if theres something wrong with the car not if it needs a service!
