    Mystery of the acoustic valve

    From factory I believe the VVT is disabled from cold start, that's what Henk does with the RStuner, enables VVT from cold which I believe is why it makes them drive much better

    Martin's 1.2 16v Dynamique Time Warp!

    Started cleaning up the arches, also sourced a nice condition set of factory mud flaps so took the time to remove all the arch liners, clean everything up behind them and fit the flaps in the process Suspension was all original, covered in surface rust but was nice to see its not even had a...

    Max Power era bodykits/styling pieces?

    Poor lusty got hounded out of here 😂 His car actually looked like it was really well done too, some of his posts were questionable 😂

    HEL brake Lines Clio 172

    To be fair id imagine those do very very little (you can see theres no marks where its been flexing and moving) should be able to drill it out, clean up the threads and get a bolt from a scrappy, or just drill it out and nut and bolt it as you can get access to the other side easily.

    Help needed! All 4 engine mounts wanted ASAP

    Probably due to the extra weight on it from the mount above it being worn!

    Help needed! All 4 engine mounts wanted ASAP

    I've never seen the gearbox to subframe mount ever wear, it's literally just a big chunk of rubber, I wouldn't change it personally

    Martin's 1.2 16v Extreme 4

    @aldo_87 dropped off a set of fairly decent condition eibach sport lines he found in his garage, so swapped them on, took 20 mins to do all 4 springs which I was impressed by!!! Also fitted a set of genuine mud flaps I got from the scrappy

    Tyre recommendations – worth going premium?

    When I used to work at a garage our cost from supplier (Stapleton's) was always more than average Joe could buy them from camskill (including delivery!) and at the time we added £25 markup per tyre, with "free" fitting and balancing. So didn't matter if it was a £50 budget or a £350 super wide...

    Mk2 Ph1 - Manual sunroof on an RSI?

    Tyre recommendations – worth going premium?

    For me, Michelin on everything, even if you disregard the difference in grip/safety... Steering feels is better They look better They wear brilliantly I've never had one blow out during a pot hole (said it now 🙄) Of course other premium brands are available that will be as good/better/close...

    Martin's 197 Lux Project

    Every time i say no more money spent on this thing.... Really good condition "yellow dots", got a set of Megane plastics coming as that's all I could source, see how they fit or maybe make something better! Ironically i ended up with this for some reason, and the driving position is much...

    Thoughts on this Phase 1

    Id want a good look at it as that red circle looks like the telltale rust bubbles and if you can see it there then there's probably no sill left. And the green circled bits, those are never body coloured these days, especially not THAT bright, that's where the rusty water from what's left of...

    Renault Clio MK2 signals left whether I indicate left or right after hazard warning switch played with

    Yeah as above I've had it where it only indicates left, removing and resetting the connectors from the uch seems to stop it enough to get home but then it comes back, I'm not sure if it's the power cycle or the wiggling of the PCB with a dry solder joint or somthing! It's not a permanent fix...

    (Mk2) jacking up from front/rear end?

    For me the box sections that run down the centre of the car with a block of wood as above. You can use the subframe but jack it on the bolts at each side, not the actual subframe. At the rear I use the beam unless I'm doing springs etc then I'll use the rear jacking points but both sides at the...

    Gordini why do people not like them?

    most didnt have cup pack colour is nice, stripes are naff. interior seems to wear terribly and then i think the big issue that puts people off... THE WHEELS!

    How easy would it converting 182 back from full track back to road

    Fairly easy as most of the parts are shared with the non RS. If the dash loom is still all intact but dash removed/ modified just get a dash from a non RS, you will need a climate control heater box and control panel if these have been removed. Or you could likely use a non interior loom and...

    Leaky skirt

    Yeah it will be holding dirt behind the arch liner/wing, common to start rusting there too due to it

    Renault Clio mk4 gt wing mirrors

    It looks like the facelift switch has a small control module on the bottom, I wouldn't be surprised if you can just fit the switch to activate it!

    Renault Clio mk4 gt wing mirrors

    Does your car currently have manual electric folding mirrors? (mirror joystick to 6oclock position to fold)
  23. Martin_172

    New member saying hi - Clio MK4 GT line

    Welcome! Auto folding mirrors should be possible I believe they were standard on the facelift and the manual folding mirrors were an option on pre facelifts (you might already have that?)

    D4F 1.2 16V - 712 intake manifold on a 722?

    Be easy to find one in the scrappy just grab everything that looks different

    D4F 1.2 16V - 712 intake manifold on a 722?

    The base engines are the same so you in theory could swap the manifolds quite easily, if i was doing it id probably just swap the engine loom and ecu while i was at it and then it would definitely work 😂

    The new tool thread

    I broke a few amazon sets then bought a Sealey set that literally looks identical in every way and has lasted years! (although i need to use it this weekend so we know what's going to happen now!)

    How do I figure out what spark plugs I need? Clio Mk3 2010 i-Music

    Those are the non turbo plugs, according to the OPs post above with the photo that's a turbo engine. Just stick your reg into autodoc and order a set of NGKs, the turbo uses a specific plug and they don't run properly on the NA plugs
