thanks fred. washers worked a treat. removed the knocking! :-)

don't really know what to say. 172/182 clio's are alot of fun if you like the car but sounds like the novelty has worn off for you. probably best getting something you love and enjoy

hardest bushes to change. especially uprated ones.

true pooh car

get some tickets just to be safe. We must arrange meeting place etc or swap numbers once received tickets etc. see you guys there.

thanks murcod. I've removed the whole system etc and car is running better just off idle. the tank vents to the filler cap aswell. that's why there are 2 pipes running into the tank. I've spoken to gdi, k-tec and renault and it is fine to remove.

Anyone wanting to go on 8-9th september please go to www.worldseriesbyrenault.com and ask for 2 tickets. Offer is limited;)

replacement bulb is about £80 and the ignitor (alloy box of tricks which is attached to bottom of headlight is £140. hope it works. cheers graham

I can do a 'how to' once I'm happy the emissions light will not come on etc.

Hi all, i've removed the charcoal filtering system and blocked the inlet piping off neatly. There is less bogging just off idle. Wonderful EU regulations etc. My advice to anyone wanting to save a couple of kg's of dead weight then remove it all. As useless as the inlet valve fitted to feed...

Has anyone removed this fuel vapour system from their car etc? It seems to be thereonly to push air/fuel vapur inot the air inlet system after the throttle body which I think hampers performance and makes the air/fuel ratio unstable at low rpm/idle. Anyone got any views comments on this system...

you'll have to get wheel bearings pressed into the discs as it doubles up as the hub. other than that it's fairly simple.

what about this pic?

you could get the brush and cloth out and clean the engine bay

I've spoken to a couple of garages and they won't touch the 172/182/trophy. as long as they have the specialist tools then it's fine. sorry, didn't know the garage you spoke of was a renault specialist. good luck! :-)

well said that man. I found this out aswell last month. basically if a car is doesn't have a particular item fitted, it won't be checked for or tested.(apart from emissions ie cat)

just make sure the garage is capable of doing the cambelt change as the timing procedure is too complex for some local garages.

yes baby yes!!!!! loving the car

you'll have to try a renault breakers or euro car parts matey. bit rare i think?

thanks! :-)

statement noted. just don't want to drop it to the ground that's all.

take it to renault dealer, ask what it is and see what they say. try get a workshop mechanic to look quickly. sorry but clueless

good move. welcome to the addiction

thanks, she is a handful if you get my drift. wink wink

I've read a couple of articles on this and it's best just to run fronts vs rears. don't bother swapping worn tyres to the rear as it makes the rear more unstable at speed/braking. Basically the rear needs better tyre tread depth to cope with the forces as the back of the car is being trailered...

If I'm parked up and I turn the steering from left lock to right lock there is a single knock sound. Same happens when I turn from right to left full lock. Only happens while parked/not moving. Any idea's?? I've got standard springs with koni shocks. :(
