Best value is to learn how to drive it fully then some decinet tyres them chnage all the ball joints etc which have worn.

You can pick up 172 phase 1's for less than that.

I wouldn't bother unless you have some other modifications. You won't get much power as there not much can be done stock you will get some more mid range power though but its not going to be huge.

Could be your strut top have a look and see if its catching.

I used to have a set of Willwoods and I'd buy another set with no hesitiation there fine. If your using it for a lot of miles then dust sealed are the way to go even if there more expensive. I never had any trouble (beyond what I caused) to them in the time I had them stunning brakes.

5/40 you don't and shouldn't realy be going to 50 weight oil or higher.

You need the gearbox plus driveshafts and radiator and accociated plumbing. Then you need to figure a way round the ECU unless you want to swop all the looms. You could get a blank 1.6 ECU (£300 or so) and use that or get the 1.2 ECU remaproggramed to run the 1.6 engine.

Might be some water getting in I'd imagine you use a pressure washer which won't help. They can fail though there was a batch of bad ones soem time ago but they can crack and fail.

Its not difficult to do yourself. Drum shoes are a pain to change though.

£150 to £200 or so depends where you go to Renault or not. Servicing rules/time/whats done etc (172/182) http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?t=107873

Its not normal its a sign there unburned fuel old diesel used to do this new ones don't as the much better fueled plus they have soot traps etc.

Just plug the new ones in and away you go. Easy to swop though.

Probbly the drums needed talking off and cleaning maybe the pads need eplacing. Its done as part of the normal service now I forget which ones though.

Try Fredyozzasport on here. Yozzasport does discounts on Corba stuff I think. OItherwise just keep an eye on the for sale for some cheap Cobras.

Why not just get another 1.2 then? The swop much easier a few hours and you'll have it done. Second hand 1.2 engines are dirt cheap.

Very good advice there Martin but the brakes at 239mm for the 1.2 8V and 259mm for the reast of the range any scrappies bound to have one in stock you need the caliperrs and the mounting brakcets new pads new brake lines and the bigger disks. Why save for a 1.6 though? A 172 is the only one...

I think the second one is better as it explaisn what the site is about quicker but the spacing looks to big.

I'd think these would be the popyular choice. There aparently a set they have in stock in the 182 dark grey colour they want shifting cheap just waiting for photos.

Yep it is bad I might try skanning the leeflet I've got to show the range.

Your cars a conversion isn't it? In which case you need to look to see if you've got a gearbox sensor which is being used if you have and its being used them you canot use a 182 box if it doesn't have a sensor then you can use a box. If you don't have a sensor you cna use any box you want...

They can replace it tell them there talking laxy rubish I've had one under warently and another soon.

I think thats another compnay who just by chnage have the same name.

I'd cover it if the AUX belt fails its usually expensive as it takes out the cambelt at the same time. Then again my cars been like that for ages without issue.

It wouldn't bother me depends how bad it is but tunning usualyl makes them smoke a bit so your no worse than that.

I've souced a possible discounter for racing wheels. They would be drilled off for Clios with any offset you wanted although other cars could be made. The range is availiable to see here. www.braid.es If anyone interested either now or the future could you please tell post and I an then try...

Your not allowed to miss any services there a 1k/1 month tolerance though. Any more than that and Renault start asking for money if you have any cliams where correct servicing would have fixed the prob;lem.
