I have a 1.5 dci 2003. I started to have issues with my car cutting out when Acceleration was applied once driving. More recently the car has failed to stop completely, but it has been turning over and few seconds of turning over and trying to start it cuts out. No matter how many times I turn...

I've determined that the alternator pulley is squeaking continuously when the car is on, I had the alternator changed about 5 years ago. Nothing is wrong with its function, but I'm wondering whether I need to change the whole alternator, or whether I can swap out the pulley to get rid of the...

I have replaced all 4 injectors from another car, which is 65BHP version, mine is a 80BHP engine. Whilst the car runs and drives, with no warning lights, I feel that some pull power that I remember my original car had has diminished. I've been asking around and there are two approaches with...

I want to get rid of my creaking manual sunroof once and for all. Has anyone attempted this? I'm looking to fill it with a sheet welded in and prepped and sprayed from the other side with new headlining throughout.

I've read a few posts of people saying that replacing the headlining can be difficult and some go as far as saying it shouldn't be attempted at al. Mine has stains on it and I was to freshen it up. Is it possible I can get a new cloth to go over the existing one without removing it? perhaps it...

I bought a donor clio to take the injectors from to put into my own clio which has the warning and tell-tale signs of an injector problem. The replacement was successful with the car starting first time (wasn't the case with previous injectors). Although the car starts there is a constant...

I've got a MK2 DCI 80. It's developed injector issues (STOP light appearing when putting foot down quickly when accelerating). My mechanic is asking me to pick up a cheap donor car so he can swap parts from it. He is also suspecting an electrical issue. I am happy to pick up a donor car (my...

Over the past few weeks I've been having issues starting the DCI. Ticks over but it takes a good few attempts to get it going. Glow plugs have been changed, but no difference. When the car starts it works just fine, apart from when you put your foot down too quickly it then presents with warning...

I've just used an aerosol can and sprayed my driver side front wing with the code 676 from Halfords. I'm surprised that it has no resemblance with the door. It seems like a light shade of black. Has anyone else run into the same problems with this colour? The right is the wing panel and the...

I have stuck on some 182 panels: the wings and the bumper. It's going to be 182 rep on a DCI. The black which I have on the DCI is noticeably different between the the two shades, something I was aware of before starting this replica. Initially I thought I would respray the car myself, in the...

(I have done a search but can't seem to find any detailed threads on this) I have a sunroof which pools water behind the sun-visor on a day of heavy rain. I'm looking to fix this over the coming weeks. First, I want to know what is causing the leak - are the drain pipes blocks causing the water...

I have got the 182 projector headlights I'm using these with, and I am having issues installing these. Main points of trouble are: 1. Where the two positive and negative spades go - where do they plug into? 2. Do I need to wire anything up directly to the battery?

I've got some front 182 bumpers for my DCI project. I picked them up probably over 6 months ago and they came with some 2 dark coloured styrofoam which I suspect goes somewhere between the bumper and the actual car front. I can't figure our which way round they go? Any ideas? Many thanks

My DCI is ticking over but not starting, I suspect to do with the injectors which I already know are an issue with the car. I need to do a leak test to find out which of the injectors it is that needs replacing as it seems to be in pretty bad condition if its not starting it at all. I'm now...

I've been having the warning lights appear on the dash for quite a while. Over the last few weeks my Clio hasn't been starting at all, presumably because of the injectors. I've found a video on a leak off, so know where the plug in the tubes. Who ever has done this before - what size tubes...

Operating fine this morning. Now I can't open the boot. Central locking fob nor car button has any influence. Did some research and its likely my solenoid has gone. I'm trying to work out what part I need to screw off to get to the locking mech so I can open it from the inside via back seats...

I have the projector headlights before people start asking. I want to fit an aftermarket kit because one of the units do not work so it would be cheaper for me to get a whole kit than to buy the ballasts for that unit. Issue I'm having is the connection from the car that goes into the xenon kit...

I have acquired the front wings and front bumper to install this weekend. Only issues are the wheel arches - would my standard DCI ones fit, or do I need to order the 182 ones because they're flared wings? Second question - I have the xenon projector lamps but will use my own ballast and...

I serviced my car over this weekend - new oil and fuel filters, and oil. 3 out 4 spark plugs have been changed. The last one got rounded off so couldn't be removed. The car struggles to start first time, cold or warm. This was similar to before the service, but the car always started at least...

I've done a search on this and it seems to either be a case of break fluid or injectors or fuel pump need replacing. 1.5 DCI - It only happens if I accelerate hard with my foot almost to the floor. I see it mostly on the motorways when I need to overtake and get to a speed fast. It's happened...

Recently got a refurb alternator put in with new belt and tensioner. No more loud annoying bearing sounds, but the rapid increase in speed my little DCI used to be capable of in 2nd and 3rd gear has now diminished. It's more gradual, but flooring it doesn't make it go any faster. Wondering if...

I'm sending my car into the local garage for an alternator and belt replacement. They've advised me that Renault usually sells them in a kit, and suggest the 'adjuster' to be installed too. The kit costs about £60 or so. I'm just questioning to myself if this is necessary? Of course, the garage...

I've done a search and think this has happened to one or two people before, but I'm not too sure how to rectify this. Here is the picture of my problem: http://www.cliosport.net/threads/xenon-manual-adjuster-piece.768639/ On both my lights this 'arm' has snapped which I presume will be making...

Both my front tyres have inner wear, rear tyres are fine. I did change the track rod end on the drivers side, but it's odd that both sides have about the same in terms of their wear. Kwik-fit think its the suspension. It also needs to be tracked as its pulling to the left. More recently, I'm...

I discovered today that one of the 182 xenon headlamps I purchased is faulty, and it's been too long to return it back or raise it with the seller. It's either the ballast or ignitor, or possibly both. I discovered this when I plugged the other headlamp in which worked fine. Now, having a look...

I fitted 182 wheels on my DCI last year and used the same bolts, no problems. I had to replace all the bolts because some were faulty and snapping inside the hub. Ordered some from eBay for my car, but for some reason the cone head extends too far into the shaft not allowing it to tighten...

I picked up some xenons for my dci about 2 months ago. I didn't have time to fit them immediately because we were just moving house, and have just got round to try one side yesterday. My understanding was that they were plug and play. so I disconnected my old headlights plug in the two cables...

After getting the 182 front bumper I realised I had the get the accompanying wings too, then I considered the side skirts to complete the look. I don't want to drill holes into car due to potential rust issues. I have been advised with a seal instead. But I have some slight hesitation in case...

I have obtained a pair of front wings from a 182 along with the bumper ready to fit to my DCI. I know that the wings are more flared out than the standard ones, thus I've been looking into hubcentric spacers. As they come in various sizes, how thick does it need to be to sit nicely with the...

I have heard that this is a common problem with the sunroofs. It have localised it the plastic clip that opens the sunroof up. I can't see how I can fix it though, has anyone achieved this?
