Well after a few years away from the Clio scene since my 172 Cup and after buying our first house and kids I’m now on the look out in next few months for a 200 (liquid yellow preferably). I will also want to carry out a 225 conversion. What is the cost of this conversion and who is the best...

Well this morning i went out to my mk2 clio (2002) and started it and left it running before i left for work as the car was frozen up. At this point the interior fans worked but in the meantime i had a lukewarm kettle indoors that i poured over windescreen just to get rid of the thick frost on...

Well my mk2 Clio 1.4 16v has been developing a fault recently. It's done it 3 times now in last few months. Basically you'll turn it over to start and it will turn over 3-4 times then cut out. The first time it done this I thought it might have been a dodgy battery so replaced it. Worked fine...

Ok my rear near side seat seems to be wet this morning with a little pool of water underneath it. I've done a bit of research on this but I've used the rear washer jet with seat up for a moment or too to see if that was the problem but couldn't see any trickle and I hardly use it anyway. Also...

Anybody know the preferential oil grade for these engines and whether part or fully synthetic?

I have a 2002 Clio 1.4 and this morning it will not start It will turn over 2-3 times then just stop. Also the alarm now bleeps 3 times when I lock it which it never has in past. It still unlocks off key and all ignition lights etc and it doesn't sound like its struggling like a flat battery...

Spotted this twice today. Once at zaks in poringland and then in Chapelfields in Norwich Looks clean with the 2118's

Does anyone have any info on these (i.e problems, faults etc to look out for) as going to look at one this weekend plus a few more. It's the mk2 facelift clio if that is any help too

I have a mk2 clio 1.2. It's done 135k and was a work horse but the clutch has given up and considering it's only worth a couple hundred quid I'm going to let it go to the scrap heap. Now I have around half a tank of fuel in it (£30 roughly) and want to get it out. Anybody know the easiest way...

I have a clio 1.1 mk2 that i use as a work runabout. I think the clutch is starting to slip. Can i adjust the clutch or is it a case of just replacing it?? Any help would be appreciated.

Hi guys. Sold my 172 cup unfortunatly earlier this year due to expanding family :) The clio had to go for some funds for kids stuff. Now that all sorted in early part of next year I'm looking to get something nice and quick again :) I've thought long and hard really and I got around 7k to...

My nearside cv joint is getting a bit worn and knocks under hard accleration now. I know if you remove the nearside driveshaft it loses all the gearbox oil so will drain it before i remove it. Just want to know where the drain plug is and the filler point too? Also what oil is used for this...

I have a mk2 clio 1.2 Grande 3 door year 2000. I recently broke the drivers wing and need a new one. I found one in same colour on net of a 5 door and was wondering if it still would fit a 3 door?

When I turn right out of junction or go round a roundabout at slow speeds (up to 15mph) and if im on the throttle there is a knocking sound coming from drivers side. Am I right in thinking the drivers side cv joint is knackered? Also it's a w reg 1.2 and I believe you can't split driveshaft...

My cambelt was done at 44k in End of 2008 so am i right in thinking that by the end of this year it will need doing again as its every 5 years and is currently on 72k. Im from Norfolk if anyone knows who is reasonable priced for cambelt changes. I had a quote of Citren to do the Cambelt kit...

Long story short I manage to come round a corner on way to work this morning and hit a flood. It is now running on 3 and I've had airbox off and a bit of water managed to get sucked into engine as throttle body was wet with water. The dipstick and oil cap have no residue of water expanding in...

My Front Wipers stopped working this morning. Just wondering as it could possibly be a fuse, if so where is the fuse located for this?

Hi my girlfriend has been using my cup and it says the temperature is 34c outside even though its freezing temperatures. Is this a case of the sensor under wing mirror faulty? If so can you buy these seperate?

My mate has just bought a ph2 172 in flame red and asked me tonight how many we're made so I thought I'd ask the question??

Would anyone know where to get a new Valve from for a 172 Engine other than Renault and how much they would cost??
