does leaving the negative battery terminal unhooked for 24 hours reset the ecu, ie. clear fault codes and dashboard lights such as serv and seat belt lights?

They are still on! I've changed my front seats for buckets and removed the rear interior and seat belts. I've stuck the 4 3.3 ohm resistors in the areas needed but the SERV and seat belt lights are still on! I've even changed all the resistors today incase there was a loose...

bit of a random one. refurbed my oz f1 wheels other day ( not happy with them and am going to have to pay to get them done properly). anyways i put them on friday night, took it for a quick drive up the dual carriageway and then back home. all seemed fine. took it to work, and was ok...

as above really, is the rear the same for ph1's and ph2's?

ive currently got harnesses in the 172, one side is clipped to the little hook under the seat that is fixed to the floor and the other side of the harness is screwed through the subframe hole attachement and held tight with a bolt and nut. would this be suitable to pass an mot?

can someone please change my wheels to orange and green, or any other suggestion that you think could work on seperate pics please. these are for track use only, so dont mind on colour. thanks!

my 172 is intermittently not starting. happens not very often - but happens both when started from cold or after restartiing once being driven. any ideas? first thought is crank sensor as its quite common on renault engines, but not sure if it on these?

As above really is it worth it? Currently got some turinis with pe2's on but don't fancy wrecking them as i use them for road use. Should i get some wheels just to sit there and be used a few times a year for track days or should i just use the turinis and buy tyres more often!?

Hi everyone, have done enough to the car and got a bit of direction going with it now to warrant putting up a project thread! I bought my Ph2 172 52 plate last May. It was on 39k miles - now sits at 44k - and was completly standard bar an ITG panel filter. As soon as I had it I changed the...

anyone else have any problems stripping the rear of their clio?! them damn two bolts holding the isofix bar are damn tight. almost feels like ive rounded the one off! what did you do to get them out?

When you bought them did the bolts to bolt the seats and sidemounts together come with them, or did you have to buy them seperatly? If so, what bolts would be needed. For reference there Imola Pro seats. Thanks

would call and ask but forgot to earlier on. do they charge an admin fee at all during a policy with themselves for each time you call and add a modification?

just a quick one this evening, for the rear seat belt mounting points - once removed, is it just simply a case of screwing the eyebolt into the existing hole and then clipping the harness onto it?? ie so there's no drilling involved for the rears?

this is the picture that cobra sent me for the x-low subframe for the clio 52 plate. can someone just confirm that the side mounts fit in between them two thick bars going across the two ends. looking at the picture there are four bolt holes in a square - id imagine for the side...

just a quick question about the fitment for these. im aware you need x-low subframes, side mounts, and obviously the seats. can someone explain how all this bolts together properly?
