    Rear Struts

    looks like they've been made in low volume to sell. You dont want one that mounts like that anyway, load of crap

    monaco blue 172 oil

    5w40 fully synthetic in winter, something a little heavier like a 10w50 in summer/warmer months, or for track days

    Is my car fucked

    probably needs a new thermostat if this has happened since the weather got cold

    Why do people never supercharge mk1 clios?

    only the late small engine ph2 mk2s have electric power steering. There's hydraulic pumps and hoses on most clios

    Is the clio 1*2 the worst cambelt

    did a megane DCi today.......which was nice. How do they put an engine in a clio, and there's plenty of room, and in a much bigger car, there's fag paper gaps around the thing

    Engine Missfire

    1.2 16v? probably a loom fault

    grey import

    NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Parallel

    grey import

    as above. First thing that brings it to my attention is the lack of an alarm switch on the slam panel. You'd never really know unless you looked extremely closely

    grey import

    loads of import 172s in the UK, most owners are surprised when you tell them. It makes near as damn it no difference

    High mileage Vee's...?

    funnily enough, i was right by Luton tonight, and it was definitely frozen

    Last Ace Cafe Meet of the year December 21st 2009

    Tried and failed, 4 hours on the M1 :( Couple of Mk1s are stranded at Reading still, the M4 is gridlocked

    getting abuse for jump starting

    you wont rev it, because you're running it in? FLOL how gay, glaze those bores up nice

    Do 172s have a rear brake bias compensator

    it's there for headlight leveling, cup doesn't have it as it doesn't have xenon lights, but MOT testers sometimes see it "missing" and think it's for the brakes (as it was on mk1 clios)

    Spark plug chewed to bits

    get a garage with a bore scope to have a look at it

    Clio 172 engine subframe

    it's Zinc'd pressed steel, not ali. not so hard to find a used subframe if it really is that, plenty of breakers on here

    Mark Fish Costs for Timing Belt and water pump

    Tom normally keeps in contact with everyone, and not been in this workshop very long. Tom and James will both be back from standing on planks in the snow soon, and thinks like direct phone will be sorted

    jesus, on the blob much today? will be a mobile in the workshop from new year

    Mark Fish Costs for Timing Belt and water pump

    no need at all. barely ever see a problem with water pumps on the 2 litre, even on high miles. 1.2/1.4/1.6 are a different matter

    Quick clio's

    figures weren't high at all, it's boosting at 0.9bar not 9psi ;) (smaller turbo than yours)

    Gearbox removal.

    manifold off??? weird

    Re: One Year on & £**** spent Top notch. No-one better with Clio mapping, especially on ITBs :)

    Quick clio's

    say what you like. Wonder what temperature your lambda sensor is activated.......

    Quick clio's

    other way round, F4R pistons in an F7R take the CR lower, F7R in F4R and it's higher than 8.5 (around 9:1 roughly). Not dramatic, but just too low for the size of turbo being used
  26. S

    Quick clio's

    250bhp and 251 lb/ft at 14psi

    Spark plug chewed to bits

    well, in theory it could be over-revving. Seen them go on engines that have been living on the limiter too much. But there's also a fault that renault acknowledged in a tech update

    Spark plug chewed to bits

    oh that's had a valve head hit it several times, no question at all

    Is the clio 1*2 the worst cambelt

    it is. chronic TBH. Lots worse than the 1*2. I think the 1.4/1.6 16v is actually more awkward

    Spark plug chewed to bits

    or one I prepared earlier....
