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

removed my 10yr old aux belt off my ph1 the other day lol was a few miles from letting go by the look of it!

no chance, internals wont take it, the dci 100 had to have uprated internals fitted over a 65/80 as they were throwing pistons during testing apparently, i doubt they then went to the effort to uprate them to withstand 120BHP more with massive torque. then we get to the fuel pump/injectors...

nokia n8 is the daddy!!

prolines are black are they not? possibly they are sportlines then, i just thought they were a bit low for sportlines. actually just found this pic of it with my old 100 on sportlines and they both look about identical ride height, 172 slightly lower at the front but it has the heavyer engine...

trying to work out what springs my ph1 is running, ive got no receipts for them as they were on the car when i got it. the coating has completely rusted away, however there are tiny traces of red on them so this would point towards possibly eibach however ive never saw a set rust like this and...

belts are 5yrs 72k what ever comes first (that is the important bit, just because its only done 20k doesnt mean it doesnt need the belts done!) £500 to £700 to have them done, so keep that in mind when buying, its a specialist or dealer only job so again keep that in mind, if a garage says they...

best for power and mpg? lol
