Being new to the whole Clio game, ive come to realise i will try and specify xenon lights with every one of my cars now Coming from a Saxo, and having the smoked headlights that are available for mk2's, and not being able to see bugger all, the xenons are worth their weight in gold!

My Mk2 172's wipers have a mind of their own! Its supposed to have auto wipers yeah, but when i get in it after its been raining, or is raining, and the stalk is on the 1st notch, nothing happens, its asif i have to wake it up! They also dont sweep often enough when its raining, and they'll...

Long shot but does anyone know, or know where it'll tell me? Im gonna regas it tomorrow at work because its lost its gas and isnt cold

I was chatting to a guy whos g/f's Clio has ESP, with a button for it located next to the dimmer switch on the dash Now mine doesnt have one, so i thought it mustn't have it, but i was underneath it the other day and i noticed there was the little link arm connected to a box on the rear axle...

Come to use my 6 disc changer for the 1st time, and it wont eject the cartridge. There doesnt seem to be any power to it. Now ive only just bought the car Now ive had the head unit out to get it recoded, and from what i remember there was the plugs for the radio, then a yellow plug which i...

Ive bought the 172 now, coming from a VTR. Now on my VTR i lowered it, engine mods etc, but in the end it broke! Im gonna try not to mod the Clio in this way, but the standard speakers are pretty shite lol What speakers etc do people recommend to replace the standard ones, and can you have...

My 172 51 plate (its it mk2 ph1?) needs some rear discs and pads, but ive just been looking on ebay and in one of the adverts the picture gives the impression you need new rear wheel bearings too? Now i havent taken the wheel off yet to see, so this is just a quick question lol...

My 172 has a slight hesitation under load every now and then Having had experience of this with Ka's (i work for Ford), it sounds like the plug leads are tracking. Are there any plug leads and plugs which people have got which are very good, or am i to just try and source some std Renault...

Ive seen a few people with them on, what do they say? Obviously the ones on the Trophy say 'Trophy' lol, but i cant work out what the other ones say!

... i need to get rid of this smile!! Picked up my 172 last night, bought Jo3y's off him, and oh my god. Going from a Saxo VTR to a 172 is just mental! Everything about it, the seats, the climate control, the drive! Its got a KTech exhaust or something on it, it isnt visible which i like...

A few of you know i saw a 2001 Y plate 172 with 58k on the clock for sale for £3395. I went to look at it today, and it looks ok, few minor bits like a bit of a nick on the rear of the drivers seat, and wtf is with the steering wheel?! Its all minging, it leaves your hands black! It looks...

Im getting all fidgety now, i just wanna go and see this 172! What standard kit is there, like air con, leather etc? Electric anything? Also, anyone got a pic of the interior of one? Cheers!

how the fan goes on a 1.8 16v Mk1 Clio! I just bought one thats had a new engine, and they didnt put the fan on for some reason, had a quick look but cant see any mounting points!

Its a 1.8 16v on a K plate, but private reg, 72k on the clock. No tax or MOT, and it needs a clutch, but no problem because im a mechanic! Gonna put it on a ramp first though, because the only thing that'd put me off is if it was rotten! He wants £400 for it, good deal? What are these like...

Hi guys, Im looking at finally coming over from the dark side (Citroen), and bagging a Clio! I really fancy a 197, but they dont seem to be as luxurious as a 182? No Xenons, no suede, and it doesnt even look like there's half leather! Have Renault cut options to reduce weight on the 197, or...
