    1.2 16v engine swaps/conversions

    starting saving liam if i was you and it wont be that long before you will be able to afford something faster.doing a major conversion on your new clio will be a waste of your money in the end.

    What ECU Upgrade

    renault parts/involvement etc though.its just that the parts arent avaliable from the dealers because it is just designed for their racing cars and wasnt designed to be sold to the general public.the group n ecu is just a much a renault ecu as the road going standard unit.its even got a renault...

    1.2 16v engine swaps/conversions

    the amount of money it will cost to do the conversion and the amount it would devalue the car surely its not worth it.you would need all the wiring looms(inc dash loom) and all the immobiliser parts(uch for example) to carry out an engine swap using these new engines.you would also need the...

    central locking MK1

    i can see what your saying but i dont have an explanation.every old clio i have worked on has had a separate decoder unit even the ones where the plip just does the central locking and there is no immobiliser.is it one of the very first model clios then.a phase 1 but a very early version.

    electric windows

    check the rubber pad hasnt fell off the plastic bracket that mounts the glass to the regulator.have a listen while you operate the window to see if you can hear where the noise is from and see if some grease will stop it.spray all the glass runners as well.

    Hillpower Ind Kit

    you mean the silicon hose.that seems a good idea because it is a lot fatter than the original hose.

    3 cylinder

    Loud clang and no acceleration.

    might have just been caused by the engine excessivly vibrating due to the misfire(eg-exhaust etc).

    electric windows

    take off the door panel,grease all the moving mechanism parts,have a good look round/listen when you operate the window and check that non of the visible 10m nuts are loose.

    Hillpower Ind Kit

    that air scoop is w**k to fit though.thats the only part of the kit that i was not happy with.

    Electric Window

    i would grease all the regulator mechanism and the glass runners first.

    Crakced wing

    there are firms that can carry out plastic repairs but i dont know how much it would cost in relation to just buying a new wing.

    electric windows

    try greasing the regulator and check all the mounting bolts are tight.check the glass to regulator mounting point is secure and the clip is securely fitted.

    Alternator advice...

    dont really know much about stereos but i think using one of those powercaps and fitting a larger battery would help.

    electric windows

    try spraying some spray grease down the glass runners.if that doesnt help then the regulator moters probably weak.

    1.2 16v engine swaps/conversions

    ^^you get a recon turbo cheap enough as well though.^^ i wouldnt stick a gtt or a valver lump in a new clio as it will cost you money and probably devalue the car quite a bit.carry out the mods avaliable like exhausts etc and start saving for something faster if i was you.

    he might mean the emergancy braking system which some lagunas have.not sure if the clios have got it.this is a system that applys maximum braking assistance if the computer detects that you are doing an emergancy stop.there is a sensor that detects how fast the pedal is being pressed and a...

    Cup Gearbox Mount

    there is also a nut which is underneath the mount that fixes the bracket on the gearbox to the rubber mount.this is normally the nut that works loose and causes the main stud to shear.

    Loud clang and no acceleration.

    glad it was the spark plugs and not those exspensive pencil type ing coils because thats normally the problem/cause of misfires.

    the suspension turret mod is the first thing a dealer should try to fix the problem.
