So after being a complete idiot and taking my wiring loom to pieces I eventually found that the real reason my clio is running on 3 cylinders is probably a clogged fuel injector. So the injectors are off the car and I was thinking of using an injector cleaning by post service. Does anybody...

Yay, I just picked up new Koni's and Powerflex bush kit, so I will be under the car fitting it this weekend. I am a bit annoyed about the amount of damage to the paintwork though. I guess it will rust quick unless I cover it with something.

Clio II Powerflex Inner ARB bush sizes come in 23mm or 25mm. I just measured the diameter of my ARB as 24.12mm. I dont know if his means I need 24mm bush or if the 23mm bush is designed to flex to fit. Is anybody able to confirm and help resolve my mismatch quandry? The car is a 1.6 16v (K4M)...

I need to replace the springs on my 1.6 16V ClioII and as the shocks are also quite old I thought it would be a good opportunity to upgrade the whole lot. The options I have spotted so far are: Eiback pro springs £150 (don't know what shocks would be best to run with these). Apex 40mm...

I have a ClioII 1.6 16v which is in need of new springs, any recommendations? My initial thoughts are to go for Eibach Pro springs and keep the old shocks. I noticed that Demon Tweeks are selling £15 alignment bolts, but only list for the Mk1 Clio, is there anything I can use on the Clio II...

The rubber bushing in my lower transmission / engine mount has gone. Renault want £40 for a replacement, which I consider a bit steep! Are there any alternatives, like replacing just bushing with some kind of silicone/utherane sealent or a rubber donut. Or is there a cheaper pattern one I can...

What tyres do people think I should use on the wheels I just bought for my clio? They are 5x standard Renault 172 16" 7J alloys, all came with plenty of tread on the tyres but they are a bit of an eclectic mix. One of them is a 205/45 - a Fortuna F905 (spare). The rest are 195/45 2x...

ABS is not working on Clio II 1.6 16v and I noticed reluctor ring is missing, so guess this is the problem. What is involved in replacing one? Local Renault dealer says they can order in the ring individually but want £165 for it fitted. Appreciate any advice.

Apologies if this has been asked before. If I did decide to swap my dead 1.6 16v engine from my clio II would a Laguna 1.6 16v drop straight in?

I'm looking for some advice here. Last year I bought a '99 Clio 1.6 16v with 70,000 miles on the clock. In december the cam-belt snapped. I spent ages replacing the belt, but of course the valves are bent. I have now bought another car, an MX6. I dont have time to take the head off myself so I...

Can anybody reccomend anywhere to do mild port work on a k4m head? I have looked at the Angelworks site and they dont list the k4m for head work. My cam belt has snapped so some valves are also probably bent. I may as well remove the head and send it somewhere to dismantle, replace any...

How does one work out if a valve is bent? Can it be determined without pulling the head? If I pull the head is it visually obvious from looking at how they sit in the valve seats? My timing belt snapped when I was stop-start traffic, so low revs/speed, however I have cranked over the engine...

When I bought my Clio last year I foolishly didn’t test the windscreen washers, only noticing that they didn’t work on the drive home. I spent some time diagnosing the problem. Eventually I unclipped the valve from the pump mechanism and dismantled it (it unclips apart). There is a rubber...

Over the last couple of weeks my Clio (1999 1.6 16v) has been producing a noise that is progressively getting louder. It appears to be coming from the driver’s side rear and gets louder with speed. The noise does not change pitch with revs, so would not appear to be gearbox related, nor is it...
