id much rather spend my 7k on a 2yr old car than a 20+ yr old car. i love an iconic hot hatch however i wouldnt be paying £7k for something that wasnt nearly new!

anyone who pays 7k for an old peugeot needs their head checked.

so many storys of people lossing back ends on here yet no one seems to check the cars biggest common fault of leaking rear dampers! ive had to change the rear dampers on 5 of my 6 clios (and number 6 is a clio 3 and 3 months old! so doesnt really count) so out of my mk2 clios ive had a 100% rear...

dci 100 with a map

we had a 2008 1.2 16v that was only a year old and 50k miles that threw its belt! renault stuck a new belt on it and it worked fine lol

everyone would love it if it was in evo. i rate fast car as a magazine.

the cups isnt really any quicker in the real world, its more about feel. i doubt you would easily beat one

i quite like it, im not into magazines really but since its so cheap im happy to support it. what annoyed me was the fact they say that silver and orange ph1 which looked really cool was 220bhp, when clearly its probably 180 ish at best maby im just easy anoyed but even my gran knows thats not...

ive got one of these PC things everyone used to rave about a few years back, ive used it a few times but not very good with it lol no one using these anymore? any reason why?

had a few cars do this, usually caused by the battery being weak and the alternator having extra strain on it, a change of battery usually cures it. however also worth checking the tensioner on the belt

if i was changing back to standard springs i wouldnt be touching anything other than genuine renault if your worried about the car being spot on.

i never got to the bottom of the issue with mine either, i was getting more miles to a tank in my 172 when i got it over my 1.2 piece of s**t.

i hammer the GT about all the time, never had it past 3k rpm tho! all my 172s have been hammered too and never once had a mechanical failure on one!

i wouldnt worry too much about it, clios constantly fail mots on snapped coil springs and cheap alternitaves are put on, a lot of them out there will be like this!

guy gives it big licks every time i see him lol

surely the speedo should work regardless of the gearbox. the problem would only occur fitting a non speedo drive gearbox to a cup/ph1? ph2 takes speedo from the ABS system..

sweet! coming along nicely, 80 cooler and map next? ;)

Re: Renault Sport Clio 182 - Looking to buy as an exciting daily drive. Talk to me pl was using my ph1 172 for my daily 40 mile comute, was fine, done 38mpg doing nice quick flowing driving using the mid range revs. ultra relable, all my 6 clios have been though

can just replace the dampers their own but as you said make sure you get a pair and not just one as the other will be soon behind it!

this

i do it all the time even when driving normally its just a normal practice now. i even do it in the dci lol

what bump? na i like black on silver

possibly an issue only on short journey cars then?

im only going with what a few of the renault techs on cliodci.net have said they are not to use 10w40 as its causing issues with turbos something to do with turbo thrust bearings & thrust plate oil feeds they say. im no expert, turbos not my thing lol

5w40 is what you should be using in the dci engine. 10w40 is a bit thick for the turbo in these cars apparently

if abs is going nuts id be looking at the ABS rings

i had this on my 172, changed the track rod ends helped slightly but never cured, also had full alignment along with new bottom arms and bushes and ball joints still nothing, turned out it was the inner track rods between the rack and the track rod ends that were worn, changed them and it was...

i genuinely didnt beleive they would be THAT different but they are, i loved my ph2 its the longest ive kept a car at over 2yrs but the ph1 is awesome!! keeping it for the distant future anyway

only because some donkey put petrol in it before you lol
