    MK2 PH1 1.2 8v Clio Grande - Tidy up project

    Wee upgrade for the RSI, keep thinking of shifting it on as i don't have anywhere to keep it over winter other than the drive way but i suppose this will mean its staying for a while longer now! Forgot how nice they drive with a smaller wheel and hydraulic PAS!

    Which Grams springs? Opinions please.

    i run Grams on my 2.0 16v van - really like them, sits nice, handles well, doesnt feel too stiff This runs Pro lines: this runs sportlines: Side by side i find both sets of eibachs sit about the exact same height at the rear and the sportline sits about 15mm lower at the front (and looks...

    Clio 2, 1.4 16v (2003) - Airbag light on after heater core replacement

    From memory the rear loom connects behind the panel under the driver's door just down from the bonnet release!

    Bonnet Clio Sport 172

    My black PH1 172 had an alloy bonnet, almost threw it into the windscreen the first time i tried to open it as i didn't expect it to be so light! - I remember a lad on here had a Sunflower yellow one with an alloy bonnet too and it got damaged and the insurance company replaced it with a steel...

    Check Auto Gearbox, losing the odd gears

    does the car have stop start and if so was it an AGM battery fitted? My meg was doing the exact same, it would only happen when it was started and you had to turn the car off and on again to clear it, never came back since the battery was replaced

    Keyed crank pulley cambelt procedure

    it will still even out the tension when the cam pulleys are loose (but cams locked) - Then tighten everything up, turn engine over a few times and re check timing by locking crank and cams

    Knowledgeable Mechanics - Diagnosis Help

    as someone mentioned above, there is so many issues with different parts and scenarios of the gearbox my mind first went to an engine/box mount or a driveshaft.

    Bonnet Clio Sport 172

    Check breaker yards for Clio RSI too, early ones also had them, that's where I got mine

    Power steering pump/water pump stop on lock?

    Aux belt tensioner has seized by the look of it, id get that aux kit changed ASAP that's at risk of letting go and jumping the timing/writing off the engine

    Turbo 6 Speed 182 Clio Track Day POV Video

    Looks like it goes really well that! Agree with what you say above, it looks like it's currently tyre limited!

    MK2 PH1 1.2 8v Clio Grande - Tidy up project

    Think ive been too long out of a 2.0 16v, been messing about with those 1.2 things and took this round the block and it felt like a rocket 😂

    MK2 PH1 1.2 8v Clio Grande - Tidy up project

    This thing has been sitting for a year! - I originally got a replacement engine from Renparts for £150 but it was pumped so got a refund and told to "dispose of it" - My camera down the plug hole showed loads of pitting on the cylinder walls, which when i then checked the failed engine in the...

    Clio 1.2 to 2.0T build 😁

    The roof rippled on my 1.2 16v when I was 17 with the standard engine and coilovers 😂

    182 Touge/Tuner Build

    looking at that ball joint above its not been fully seated and someone has battered in the pinch bolt anyway, assume ripping the threads clean off the pinch bolt so it will have been moving up and down in the hub, as above probably damaging the hub. With the above fixed if there's still issues...

    Mystery check engine light

    Mine used to come on all the time, i had a decat though 😂 - Id reset it and it would stay off for 100-200 miles then come back on. The RSTuner always showed the fault and let me reset it though. Once i used the 98ron RSTuner map though it never came back on, assume henk disables it?!

    Martin's 1.2 16v Extreme 4

    Shaft was clicking and knocking, cheap enough from Autodoc to replace, done lower arms and ARB links while i was at it as they looked like they had seen better days! The febi arms come with all new mounting hardware which was nice! Bonnet latch felt horrible on it and didn't open or close...

    K-Tec order issue

    In 2026, in fact even in 2006 that's just not an excuse. I wouldn't give them a penny after the issues I had with my akrapovic, and I must have spent thousands with them over the last 20yrs!

    Mk4 Renault Sport Clio timing chain

    Doesn't look any worse than any other timing chain to be fair in the videos I watched when I was looking at buying my Mégane.
