Hi guys, I've had my 197 F1 for a few months - and yes I am still loving it :) However there seems to be a noise coming mainly from the NSF but certainly the front suspension area. When the car is corning with low loads on the NSF then the rebound of the suspension / dampeners seems to...

The last 2 or 3 times when I'm about to get in my car, there are 4 or 5 quiet beeps. They stop and there are no lights on the dash or problems starting the car Anyone know what it is?

Ok, I'm not usually a fan of after market accessories but I am keen on keeping the car tidy inside - especially the iPod wiring. I've used eternalcar for some wind deflectors recently, however has anyone bought one of these centre armrests and have positive feedback...

Hi guys, I've had my R27 two weeks now and happily getting a few things sorted :-) However I was advised that my Clio would happily take a tunepoint connection box - so I bought one on eBay (the real deal) Last night I fitted it and their was a space for me to plug it in to the back of...

I'm only 10 days in to owning a 197 F1 and I'm loving it :-) However I'm thinking of an ECU upgrade: Morego - £350 with 12-14 bhp increase KTec - £295 with circa 9 bhp increase Both have similar results with increase in mid range torque, but what would most people go with or is there...

Nice Red Clio RS mini meet at Tesco on Tuesday 1st June at 12.30 ish Waved and acknowledged each other. Not seen a 200 in red before and it looked good with black alloys, chin and diffuser - also noticed it had Recaros but also rain / lights sensor so think it was a 200 with Cup kit?

Hi all, Sorry if a re-post but I did do a quick search The normal complaint - Clio & Renault love having a high seating position!! I've got a 197 R27 F1 with the Recaros - is it possible to get a lower seat frame?

Hi all, You'll be pleased to hear that I've returned to the Clio fold :-) I left 3.5 years ago and was a very proud owner of a MY04 Honda S2000. Hopefully, my signature will show my car history if I've set things up correctly. I'm a loyal Clio fan after now owning a Williams 2, 172 Cup...

Hi all Clio owners, I owned a Clio Williams 2 seven years ago and had my 172 phase 1 for 2 and a half years. Both very happy ownership, so I know I will be back sometime in the near future - probably a Trophy in 3 years and have it as a daily commuter :-) Sorry to say goodbye and thanks...

Was on the M25 (anti clock wise) Jnct 24 ish at 3pm and was very pleased to see that someone had a Phase 1 as there commuter car once they've got to their destination!! Doubt you're on this forum as you're probably driving your Winnebago as we speak! Anyone else see it?

Compliments mate, your Blue cup with Anthracite wheels looks fecking sweet!! Seen you around quite a bit, even on the M25 around Jnct 12/13 area. I think I have to admit it........... those 172 Cups in Blue are the nicest looking of the lot, even more than the Trophy - dare I saw it!

Just about to change my HT leads as the car has been a little hesitant & spluttery. Will this make a big difference?

I was going up the hill towards Tesco and you the other way! Your Actic looked clean and with a nice set of anthracite boots on!! You from Tring / surrounding area?

Hi guys, Did a search on seat runners but couldn't find any info on how to change them. My passenger seat runs forward using the under seat handle however when using the tilt / slide it doesn't to gain easier access in to the back - it doesn't!!?? Haynes don't do a 172 / 182 manual but...

Was looking for a reputable Renault Parts company the other day and Renault Breakers (BG Motors) in Kent told me they were pretty good. So I thought I'd put it to the trusty forum and wondered if any of you guys / girls had used it?

In a short sentance I would like to say that I will NOT be renewing my insurance policy with them!!

Please tell me this isn't anyone from this site!! What a mess and just check out the front grill!! http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/2002-RENAULT-CLIO-RENAULTSPORT-172-CUP-BLUE_W0QQitemZ4634624329QQcategoryZ9861QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem Edit: sorry, yeah should have put this in eBay section - my fault!

Saw the first Trophy at the A41 Hemel junction waiting at the lights by Volvo garage - I think it was a lady driver. Saw the second Trophy heading from St Albans to Leverstock Green by all the speed cameras! Didn't flash, wave or hoot to either drivers, as the last 5-6 times I have done...

Hi Guys, Got my car booked in this Friday as I think it has some engine diagnostic issues. Over the last 2-3 weeks my car has been getting progressively worse! I start the car and quite often it just completely cuts out and some times it takes around 4-5 times to start it. It had a...

The other week I posted a thread regarding my phase 1 having handling / suspension issues! Cheers for all the advice and one of you was spot on! My mechanic told me that it was the tyres and now it makes complete sense. I put Goodyear F1s on 4 weeks ago and upped the track from 195 -...

Hi, was at the roundabout Sainsbury, Shell, Asda part of town and saw a Y reg exclusive pass me buy Only every seen 3 of these in total now (Hammersmith, Wantage & Watford)

Hi guys, Had my Phase 1 two years and been pretty good over all... however! Recently I have been feeling a lot less confident with the cornering and back end stability. It has done nearly 90k miles and there is a little squeaking coming from the rear suspension area. Anyone recommend...

Just been in to WHSmith and Evo have a section on buying a used Clio Sport 172 and it looks a good informative read, best thing is.............. it recommends this website and forum!! Some good pointers and price guides, maybe worth buying and keeping hold of.

Twin exhaust silver phase 1 having fun between the lights. I was walking from town to the station and heard you coming :-)

Hi, You have a Nurburg Ring Track sticker on your boot! Nice and standard and looking clean. Mine is parked opposite your space - black 172 phase 1. In Regus Visitor Parking near the Station

Hi, Just seen a Silver Phase 2 172 for sale on Autotrader.co.uk and it said Automatic! Didn't know they did that, is this correct?

Hello there, Very nice and clean Phase 2 with a Nurburgring track logo on the back. Annoyingly my car is at the garage this week, a few issues with the electrics that need sorting. I am driving a lovely 51 plate silver fiesta!!

Good afternoon, Think it was a 52 plate and looking pretty standard. Saw you near Berkhamsted / Hemel on the A41 heading towards Watford at around 8am this morn.

With all this talk about Trophies still up for grabs, it made me think who is the lucky owner of number 182?
