    Quick 1.8 speedo & temp sensor q....

    exterior temp sensor has nothing to do with engine running.rev counter is from an electrical pulse from the coil pack.rev counter problems could be a sticky gauge,faulty coil or a poor connection somewhere between the two.speedo cable has an electronic speed sensor on the instrument panel end...

    Do your wipers do this!

    the smart wiper system is on all clios apart from ones with the rain sensitive wipers because obviously its not needed on this type due to the rain sensor switches off the wipers if the screen is dry.the uch controls most of the electrical systems on the car im afraid.

    Lightweight oils.......

    no i just waited to 12000 and changed it then.if renault thought there was a need to change it at a 1000 miles they would put it in the schedule,after all they garauntee the engine for 3 years normally so they wouldnt want it to go wrong because it costs them money.your dealer sounds a bit...

    What Caused My Springs To Do This

    probably just a poorly made spring but renaults do seem quite bad for snapping road springs.

    I Know Its Tacky BUT.....

    a backbox isnt really going to gain you anything but at least you get a nice sound.prices depend on make etc but its around £150 for a stainless steel backbox.

    172 Oil Filter.

    buy the oil filter tool from renault which is about £8 but it pays for itself over and over again,espicially when the filter is stuck on really tight which a lot of them are.

    Lightweight oils.......

    sounds like porkies.since the engine has got to go to 12000 before the oil gets changed then they would put some decent oil in it.

    phase2 lites fitting to phase 1 clio mk2

    basically just the bodywork parts like the wings etc,the bulb connectors etc should plug straight on.

    phase2 lites fitting to phase 1 clio mk2

    if he only had the single bulb type headlights originally he would have had to change the connectors in some way as the mk 2 lights are the twin bulb type.if he had twin type headlights originally(phase 1 upper models like sport,rxe etc had twin type headlights) no wiring changes would have been...

    172 Oil Filter.

    as above,if you remove the injection rail protector(either 10m or 13m bolts up the centre holes in the bracket) it will give you better access to the oil filter.

    phase2 lites fitting to phase 1 clio mk2

    would req-front bumper,front wings,bonnet and maybe the slam panel modifying.you would also need to solder mk2 headlight connectors blocks onto your loom if you clio hasnt already got the twin buld type headlights.never seen a guide myself but im sure somebody will have one somewhere for you.

    Car Lowering in W.mids

    ok never mind.dont really know of anywhere around there.any half decent local garage would be able to change the springs easy enough.

    Car Lowering in W.mids

    its springs all round on your model so no torsion bars.where are you actually from?

    Clutch Replacement. And What Else

    you can replace the clutch with the engine in just by moving the gearbox to the side,a bit tight but it can be done.some garages prefer to take the engine out so it all depends on who is doing it.if the garage remove the engine then it might be an idea to replace the cambelt as well if its...

    Rage Exhausts on Clios (pic)

    my mates had a few rage backboxes in the past.they always sound pretty good but you i doubt you gain any power from them.you dont gain a deal from systems that have been developed on the car never mind just a universal fitment one.seeing as its only a 1.2 though performance gains wouldnt be very...

    What is better handling

    on a lot of previous cars i have had when ive fitted lowering springs it improved the cars grip around corners and reduced the amount of bodyroll,but on some cars i think the standard suspension is quite good and fitting lowering springs would reduce the feel of the car and make it to...

    Oil in coolant reservoir!!!!

    you will always get some small deposits caused by the evaporation of coolant.you could change the coolant,rinse out the bottle and just keep an eye on it over the next few weeks,but from the description you gave i dont think theres anything to worry about just top the level up and keep an eye on it.

    Do your wipers do this!

    the smart wiper system means that when you stop the uch puts the wipers in the next speed down. EG-fast speed>normal speed -normal speed>intermittant the wipers should automatically return to the speed that the wiper stalk is in as soon as you start moving again.try putting the...

    Are De-cat’s illegal

    the second lamda sensor is there to test the cat it doesnt alter the engine running at all.its the first sensor that moniters actual engine emission output so any changes made by the computer are based on the readings from the first sensor.

    Oil in coolant reservoir!!!!

    maybe a headgasket but i would have it checked out because it may just be some deposits caused by the evaporation of coolant which would be normal.
