    Pattern sills - where from?

    Hi everyone, I'm looking for outer sill panels for a ph2 172. I'm sure they're available from Renault for a fortune, but are pattern versions available? Has anyone used some and able to make a recommendation? As usual, I need about 200mm each end. Thanks!

    Does anyone have a wiring diagram, excerpt from one, or a link where I can find out which fuses serve which relays and which relays provide power for what? I'm specifically interested in the fuel pump/ignition relay, but could do with the whole lot if possible. Thanks

    Clio idles at 2000rpm on cold start and throttle pedal doesnt work. Once restarted it's fine.

    So my clio starts from cold and idles at 2000 rpm and the the throttle pedal doesnt do anything at all. If i let it run for a little while, shut it off and restart it, it's perfect. Once its sorted, the throttle works fine, and it idles fine, suggesting its not an issue with the throttle pedal...

    Whine from behind dash with ignition on?

    My ph2 172 has a whining noise from behind the dash, sounds like its coming from behind the centre vents. It's audible whenever the ignition is on.

    CLIP V153 - 32bit only?

    I'm trying to install CLIP (older version) and getting driver errors. Does anyone know if the drivers are 64bit compatible, or just 32bit? I have a vague recollection that last time I had to use a 32bit virtual machine on my laptop. Thanks

    Clio front foglights not working

    I've checked the bulbs and they are ok, checked for power in the plugs, nothing. I've confirmed power at the fuse on the passenger end of the dash, and the indicator lamp on the dash illuminates. Does anyone have a wiring diagram showing where it goes inbetween? Thanks

    Typical symptoms of crank sensor failure?

    So my clio turns over for about 10 seconds before starting, but then always fires up fine, which with other brands I'd attribute to crank sensor failure and starting up on the cam phase sensor. There is no engine management light on the dash however, would one normally expect this? If it is a...

    Aux in for Ph2 172 Tuner List headunit? Socket populated already...

    So I did a little reading yesterday regarding fitting an aux in cable to the clio sport headunits and it was suggested that you needed to know which type of headunit you had, and that there should be an empty socket on the back, adjacent to the yellow plug. I pulled mine out of the dash this...
