That's horrendous!

6,250rpm is the official figure from Renault iirc Mine is a 1.6 and sometimes goes straight to 6,500 (sometimes more) and sometimes the limiter kicks in at 6,250...

Do it now. Seriously.

You missed the locking pins on the crankshaft, those are a must aswell. Here in south america the 1.4/1.6 16v have the tendency to break the timing belt even before the reccomended 60k kms interval...I've seen cars with broken belts (and valves) at 50k kms :s I did mine at 50k kms just to be...

Bet it started to act weird when hot and worked better if you let it cool down...but when it dies it is really difficult for the engine to catch up and run...

Clean the idle air valve (both the valve and the bit where it sits on the intake) and then have a look at the coilpack...my friends car had rusty connections on the coilpack, he cleaned it up and the fault dissapeared.

Mine has been doing the same lately, the mechanic cleaned the temp sensor connector, the fan resistor pack (mounted on the radiator) connector and the main ground lead from the battery to the body and now the fan kicks in as it should! Go for those first.

Clio II - 1.6 16v Recently the cooling fan has been a little lazy to turn on...it works perfectly if you turn on the aircon but on its own it will never work... In this market the Clio does not have a radiator switch, only a small resistor to control both low and high speed radiator fan...

Both cars look mint. It does not get any better.

My car had a slight misfire only present at idle, took all four coil packs (1.6 16v) and they were all rusty (due to my engline cleaning habits, must admit) and once I cleaned them up and reconnected all the misfires went away...wheew

Gotta love snow pics

I like it!

Try a good plastic polish and lots pf patience, it WILL take a while...and when you get the desired result be dure to use a good wax to keep plastic oxidisation at min...

Yo tambien me dije WTF cuando vi la bola para arrastrar lanchas...despues entendi la cosa...aqui en Venezuela es igual...lol

Anyone tried it on a Mac?

: )

Common issue, remove both rear lights, clean and dry both connectors and refit.

And it has been freshly detailed too! Looks great!

Mine is no THAT loose but it does move a bit when turning the steering...most Renault techs say that is normal...but yours look a bit more loose than usual...

It's perfect!

I'd do this...+wheels

Do your numbers...with all the money you'll spend on parts, bumpers, paint, wheels and so on...you are putting that 172 farther from you. I'd give the actual 1.2 a good detail to bring it to showroom condition, save more money and then get the 172 :D As far as I know you can fit the rear bumper...

Maybe the drain hole is blocked, the aircon does not only produce cold/hot air, it also takes humidity out of the car...check the drain pipe from under the car...

I love the LED trick :approve:

After that you'll have to renew the sealant and wax....vinegar will strip it down...

When I get the new wheels, probable 16s, I'll have to lower it at least 2"...and then scrape the hell out of it. Maybe remove the lip and get a RS front bumper will do the trick :D Thanks Those silly bits are all Renault OEM :S

Love the RS sticker :o

Here is a chop just to see if bigger F1s look good I know it needs lowering but roads here are far from perfect...bigger wheels? Yes, soon....hopefully :D either Superturismo or Turinis... Comments?

What about the ignition coil?
