    Standard mk2 1.2 16 valve air intake mod

    Done 50K in mine now (78K on the clock) and this rings true. Serviced every 10K, new timing belt and pump when it needs it then given a beating. Drive it like you stole it and it comes alive, as much as it can... I only use 5th for cruising on A-roads and motorway, good pull at 4K but only on...

    Rear wheel bearing

    Ruined the bearings on mine with spacers, twice 😅 First replacement was eBay specials that lasted 6-12 months. Second time round I found some higher quality FAG ones. Likely to be the other side, but could be a bad bearing - If you can get the back of the car in the air and freely rotate the...

    Seat Mount Spacer Boss Thing

    I want to do mine but I have a small speaker sub in the way. Anybody running no seat-spacers and an aftermarket sub that fits under?

    Seat Mount Spacer Boss Thing

    I believe they just raise the seat an arbitrary amount. I have seen people recommend swapping them for washers to lower a few mm - or binning them completely as @leeds2592 has suggested

    Leaking sunroof, need a new metal bit

    Hydrate-80 by Bilt Hamber is the most recommended rust converter/treatment on here if that helps. Ignore me if you know about it!

    Leaking sunroof, need a new metal bit

    Part no 6: 7701045041 Cant find any new ones for sale. I would suggest rust treating the old one (if surface rust). Otherwise try finding one at a breakers, they do come up on Ebay every so often if you are willing to wait. PartSouq Link for image and part numbers

    Cd radio satnav replacement

    Do you have a multimeter to test that the positive live and the accessory live are working as intended in the car? Im pretty sure I had to reverse the connectors on my Sony unit, as in: Red ---> Yellow Yellow ---> Red

    Looks like you need and ISO to 16 pin connecter, if @SharpyClio can grab an image for you it should make more sense

    Sun strip on track cars

    I used a strip of window tint on the inside as a sun strip. Cuts down on sun glare while being able to see through it

    Ideas for opening a Clio 172 - flat battery, door locks not working..

    Jack the car up and stick it on wheel dollies? If its only got the handbrake on you should only need two for the rears

    Really annoyed I can't go to this, I work down the road in Weybridge. Very familiar with the area and Benz World, hope the event goes well and that there will be a next one.

    Front shocks Renault Clio 2005

    Fitted these last year to my 2001 1.2L 16v. Easiest way to tell (I think) is the bolt spacing to the knuckle.

    Powerflex…is this normal?

    I remember seeing a thread in which the powerflex bushing had to be cut down as the bushing itself was too big for mount. Looking at your image, the left side had too much material and he had to cut it down

    172 Cup Third Brake Light

    Is it only the light that has gone? If so there are a few things that can be done: 1) The PCBs are the same in other Clio brake lights so you can replace the PCB only 2) Replace the PCB with a 12V red LED strip 3) Worth trying to clean the contacts. Mine wouldn't work properly until I cleaned...

    Are K-tec spacers safe?

    Echoing others here hub-centric spacers with longer bolts + correct torque (120Nm) = no issues here, run 20mm on the front and 15mm on the back with 16" 182 wheels
