A diesel is much better for short drive than a petrol petrol corrodes metal diesel is a lubricator. When the engine cold petrols run rich which makes them more prown to wear diesel don't suffer from this. Get the dealership to do a pressure check on the turbo check the presure gauages are...

Camber on the back of Clios is adjustable the Mk2 race cars had a choice of about 4 or 5 Renault officl sizes they could use in the cahmpionship they fit the road cars but only one road Clio I know uses them and that a race only car realy as its not needed.

Only people with the Renault clip computer can program keys its 0.4 hour labour. then the Chip ie the bl;ack plastic bit of they key is about £60 then the metal key is about £12 (takes a week or so to deliver to a dealership). The key needs coding to the car imobilser to do this you need all...

The version on ebay goes upto about 2002 it ha the Cup and phase 2 V6 Clio but not the 182. It gives some pin outs for the the ECu and radio but not much. There a seperate CD of wiring diagrams but ther've nver been as far as i know on ebay and those that own them get them from unusal ssources...

I keep mine till I have a big problem or finances say I should change.

Yep if you want use Renault oil £20 or so for 4.5 liters you'll need. If they don't know its been changed they cannot do anyhting. new sump washer is 80p I think its not dificult to do 10 minutes if your lazy and take your time.

Arr right you have a dci one? Yep same engine as the Clio. Not bad best idea it to get the rpm right up the change up point on mine for first and second is about 4.4k. You have a dci for your own car don't you? If so chnage the oil ever 6k and hammer it and it will get much quicker...

Take the air filter out. (not a good idea as if you get big dirt into the engine you'll have right problem). Strip it out. Tyres upto 45psi.

Air con was an option on later Cups just like the silver paint the most come in blue without air con though. No ABS or driver assitance realy wheather that an advantegs is questionable I'd have prefere ABS but for track work it is great not having it. The Cup was a lightweight cut price...

Your so right. Otherwise there be more dci owners out there. After all some RS arn't that quick round Oulton.

Demon Tweeks £28 for the Eisbeck one there rebrands though.

I was particulaly pointing to the track and race car circuit who managed to get a 182 Cup round slightly quicker than the thropy and thats got bends. The difference between them can be ignored IMO due to variation in built.

What car is it the starter usually a good place to try did youy try bump starting it? Also the TDc sensor is a comoon fault but if the starter doesn't spin than thats probebly at fault.

Round a track i'd say the Cup would win but not by much. A good engined 172 would be as quick as a slower cup assuming the same driver etc. There so close. On some tracks the trophy is slower than the 182 Cup.

Nope forget about trying to tune it put a 1.8 or 2.0 in instead. You cannot get the 1.8 pistons into your car firstly as the blocks not big enough to get the pistons in.

There right the key can loose its settings. Only Renault delaers or places with the Clip diagnistics can program the keys to work with the imobiliser. Cutting the metal bit of the key can be done by a lock smith but Renault can order them for £12 or so just takes a few days as they come from...

Suspension setup details for Mk1 172, 182 (cuped and none) None RS Mk2 2 and Mk1 V6 http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?t=133900 The 182 with Cup packs is the same setup as a full fat 182 with Cup packs.

Yep they will. there the same for the Williams and for Mk2 Clios. 13mm in size.

Why sell it after you've just paid for an MOT?

I think the one on the Seat Ibizas fits with abit of bodging.

The V6 has them like the 172 and 182 the none RS models are all the same type.

If there on about that metal clip then they shouldn't be much new £10 at worse won't take long to change. Brake pipes are easy to change. Just takes time. Rear disks can be expensive best try giving the handbrakes a bit fo a work out to knock some of the rust off.

Black side strips means a phase 1. Only the phase 2 came with them colour coordinatd (unless it was a race car which all came with black bump strips)

Weld a bolt onto the nut and you can get them off that way. You can order new bolts though or go to a friendsly dealership and ask if you can use the keys in the cars they have on the forcourt and when you find the one that fits order it from the parts deparetment takes about a week. Some...

I've heard of a few people who didn't liek the Fk's as much as the H and R. there more expensive for a start the H and R and use Blistein stuff.

H and R come higly recomended fro all who've ownered them and are reasonably priced.

Mine starts fine unless it been on track as it deosn't like restarting that much there sometimes a slight delay for it to fire up.

Middo beat me to it Price depends where you do Renault dealership expect £650 or so for a full 72k/5year serice including cambelt. For a garage I'd expect about £500. Depending if your willing to travle I'd recomend GDI in Cambridge or Yozzasport (ot entirly sure where there based I think...

Yozzasports DS2500 package is £199 I think for brakes lines new disk and ds2500 pads which is the best value I can find.

72k is when you should have it done according to Renault if your on your own warently ie if it blows up you have to pay then I'd get it done at 60k. I'd recomend dropping 16V_jon a message see if he wants to businnes he's one of the few people I'd trust ot go to a Renault dealeship and get...
