Meant to add fella, it might be easier to source which cylinders mis-firing by pulling out all the leads and you should be able to find out via elminination. If the engine doesnt sound to be struggling anymore when you pull out one of the 4 theres a good chance it will be that cylinder thats...

:S Lunacy fella! When mine first developed the problem i thought the exhaust had a hole in it. It sounded dead burbly and deep like you said. Then it turns out it was actualy misfiring with a faulty coil pack, i changed the Spark plugs aswell to be sure. Done about 5,000 miles since, been fine :)

Whats your insurance for the 1*2's?

Dont worry about it mate, this is quite common place with Renaults. Also if you change the coil pack or leads id change the plugs aswell for good measure wont do it any harm.

Could be a coil pack or the HT Leads (they connect to the coil pack) I had this a few months ago, i doubt very much it could be a blocked cat mate. Also i would avoid driving it until you can source the problem. Might damage injectors

Aye thats a bit of a bind that. Tell me this mate, how many cars are in your family out of interest?

Well impressive matey! Wuuld you not have prefered a Supra/Skyline? lol

Do you not fancy making the progression to a 1*2 mate?

Would never risk buying a car to break for parts, theres absolutley no guarantee you would recoop the cash

Obvious what to do here. Buy two Clio Phase 1's, one for every day/week end use and one to rip everything out of and have a track slut. Jobs done and u still have change

If you dont mine me asking, how much would it have been to buy a Clio 172/182 in HK new?

Back firing do you mean? Is it a standard exhaust thats on it?

Parts must be a frigging nightmare to source? How did you get them over to Hong Kong mate!?

Im not so sure about this one mate. Its nice but others can be had with the belt done and alot less miles for about £500 more. If you hold out you will probaly un earth a gem. I bought mine back in March for £3800 with 44k on the clock. I had to get the belts changed though but at the time...

can anyone confirm what bulbs i need and power out put id be needing>? This HID chat is very confusing

I wouldnt mind so much if the roads were actually of a good standard (No other country pays as much road tax as us) and there roads are like f**king putting greens. Alaister Darling? I wouldnt trust a man with eye brows a different colour from his head to take control over things such as road...

Stranger things have happened? all i would say is that if the cambelt isnt done id want it for £4650

Fraid the 172's made after march 2001 are going up to £270 chaps. www.parkers.co.uk

I doubt the lack of ABS would have contributed, braking through a chicane might not have helped much Auch well at least your alright and its only cosmetic damage

Re: What will she make??? Yeah reading that back to myself it is rather optimistic. I would hope that she makes atleast 160bhp. What are you gonna do if she makes a low reading?

Hand it back and ask for your money back. As Kenny said, this car isnt suitable for purpose and your within right to hand it back.

Welcome mate. Pervert central in here, you will fit right in. Where to you hail from yourself?

Re: What will she make??? Id say about 163bhp at the wheels and maybe 170 atf? Im secretley hoping that theres been a mistake somewhere and all the Phase 1's are actually making 268bhp lol, although i very much doubt it

His inbox is full and cant accept any more PM's.... Any idea how i can get hold of this chap?

Cant see it to be honest, from one car enthusiast to another you know full well of power to weight ratios of this im convinced, yes? I didnt until today realise that the 197 was considerably heavier than the Phase 1 (ill use this as an instance seeing as i own one) But to say its faster...

Aye what is the deal with the almost impossible to reach dip stick? What is that all about exactly?

I would have thought as much! All very capable cars all the same!

Amen, almost had an accident because of this once!

Aye missus was in the motor so it was eyes front for me haha Glasgow city centre on a saturday afternoon is quality :o

Virginity, its real :o
