    My new clio 172

    Bit high but it's a dealer so to be expected. As above get the rear door cards off for a look. As long as it runs well and you are happy with it that's all that matters. Looks tidy, front bumper has been painted but panel gaps look ok so assume it just got a freshen up

    172 Cup radiator fan not kicking in

    Air lock in the coolant? I've never heard the fan come on with any of mine unless it's idling on a proper hot day

    Insurance claim (non fault) - do I have to accept an insurers choice of repair shop?

    I wouldn't let a Renault dealer anywhere near my car with a paint gun, bad enough letting them loose with a spanner 😂

    Clio mk3 6 speed gearbox conversion

    I would assume that they use a different bottom end so the boxes don't straight swap straight over. If your really into the car then just drop the engine and box into yours Your correct you will need to swap the gearstick and linkages and probably the clutch cable

    Make my mind up for me!

    Surely if your pottering around you would want somthing nicer to potter about in? A MK3 drives radically nicer and is a nicer place to be

    OEM Radio (Tuner List, Update List & Cabasse) - Whats the difference?

    you can use one of these instead of the tunepoint if you just want to listen to music off your phone, but it doesn't let you control it thru the stalk obviously...

    new clio faulty parking sensors

    It's under warranty, just get the dealer to fix it under warranty or if it's been caused by accident damage then get them to replace them

    What Exhaust do I have?

    ktec steath sport (not the supersport) cat looks to be the original factory one too, worth more than the car probably lol

    Clio K4T Project

    Fantastic work and great results!

    What Exhaust do I have?

    Think the original ktec stealth had the clamp on centre mount like that, got a pic of the backbox. rear sills look rotten on that looking at the bit behind the skirt!

    New member Clio trophy mk4

    Welcome, former owner here!
  22. Martin_172

    In 5 years time

    That was the biggest downside to trophy ownership for me, I had a low millage mint one and I enjoy driving them properly so every new stonechip and blowing the baffles out of the mint standard exhaust used to bother me lol the rough, cheap ones have been the ones I've enjoyed the most, and the...

    High performance pads that still cope on the road.

    This, and also because Fred said so in 2007 lol As I said above my rear was doing nothing as could be seen from the surface rust on my discs lol but afterwords it felt like the car was hunkering down under breaking rather than nose diving and going light at the rear

    LY Clio 197 F1

    Looks good with the splitter, not fancy the skirts to match? You should look into an akrapovic for it, best sounding exhaust I have ever heard, it's how it should have left the factory. It's the only aftermarket exhaust I've ever owned that doesn't sound like an aftermarket exhaust!

    Bleeding the abs

    That could be my issue then I didn't try that just used the pressure bleeder. Will give it a go today cheers I can't remember if it was running at the time, I tried bleeding with and without the engine running.

    Bleeding the abs

    Evening guys. Having a load of bother bleeding the abs on the 182 van. The system was fully emptied of fluid before being swapped over to the van. I've got an rs tuner with the abs module, I can access it and connect no problem and it appears on the screen that the bleeding is taking place but...

    High performance pads that still cope on the road.

    I've rarely ever had to do rear pads in any of my Clio's as they last so long but I done a pair of rear discs a few years back and stuck a set of pads in, at the time I was fully aware of the "just fit the std pads they don't do anything" and the only "uprated" pads I could find were EBC green...

    Thinking of getting a Megane 225/230

    id have a 197/200 over the 225 any day. problem with the 197/200 is they cost a bomb when they go wrong, gearboxes, exhaust manifold flexi, front hubs etc etc at least with a 182 the majority of issues are cheap fixes.
