    Head Gasket failure??

    I've been having a few issues with the clio of late. Mainly overheating. Firstly it was an issue with the stat, so that was changed, and replaced with a new renault stat which was also duff. So i've now replaced it with a new one (checked it in a pan first) and i'm still getting issues. I have...

    Coolant temperature

    I changed the coolant and thermostat the other day. Now the needle reaches middle sort of. The heaters are fine, and the level looks ok, but i've a suspicion that I might have an air pocket somewhere as the needle moves from middle to one bar below middle consistantly. Also, i've noticed that...

    Accelerator height

    I've been trying to get my head around this for a while now, but it keeps puzzling me. Basically my pedal height is practically in line with the brake pedal which means heal toe is tricky, plus when braking you catch the pedal. It's on cable throttle, so what options do I have? Ideally I'd like...

    Is there a way to....

    .....change the thermostat without losing loads of coolant? It's only just been changed really, so seems silly to flush it. Can you just syphon it out of the expansion tank and from any parts above the level of the stat and put it back once finished? Also, does it matter if you mix coolants? I...

    Traction control/headlight adjust panel

    Doesn anyone know if there is a clio 2 which has this panel with nothing on? I'm thinking about fitting a oil pressure gauge here, so need a blank panel to stick a hole in :)

    No cranking - starter motor fine

    The car has been having issues of late. It won't fire, unless you either rock it in gear (although this isn't enough now), or bump it. If it doesn't fire while bump starting, I can then turn the key and it cranks. So I figure it must be the starter. Spent yesterday removing it (fun job :(), but...

    AEM Wideband Controller

    Hi guys, I'm looking at fitting one of these in the next week as the EC1 has automapping via wideband. Basically my lambda is shot, and the car is currently running on closed loop fuel control (setup on dyno). However it is definately not fuelling correctly at low revs, so instead of getting...

    Cutting metal from CAF area

    Can I cut the majority of this piece off to improve airflow as I want to have my caf pipe pointing at this area. Will it cause any structural issues?

    Panamoz, anyone used them?

    As above really. Just looking at some new gear and it's one of the cheapest places around. Chat and Vision is another one, but there are shed loads of bad reviews on that one.

    Nikkor 50mm f1.4

    Currently i've got a D40 with nikkor 18-200 VR lense. The main reason for buying this was for motorsport work (couldn't afford the 70-300mm at the time), but i'm not getting enough time for this use. The main time i'm using the camera now is for family/friend occassions (weddings/birthdays etc)...

    Pre-wash

    Hi all, I'm after something to loosen crap from the car on the lower sections prior to washing, also if it removes oil, bugs etc also that would be a bonus. I'm considering Megs Super Degreaser as i'm after something in bulk that can be diluted to stretch it out longer. Plus I can put it into...

    3gs Home button

    Well it's basically fucked. It thinks it's permanently pressed down, so when it loses battery and I plug it in to turn it on, it tells me to plug it into itunes. If I turn it on without it being plugged in, voice control activates. I've taken it to bits and tired messing with the connections...

    Metal to glass bonding

    My rain sensor attachment keeps coming away and the wipers don't work on auto. I've tried apoxy glue, but that's not working great. I've seen that halfords sell a rear view mirror glue, but there are mixed reviews about it. Any one got any tricks of the trade :)

    Cup Splitter fix

    Anyone who was at Oulton might have noticed my splitter got broken on the grass while parking. :mad: It broke into 4 pieces. The brakes were reasonably clean, so I used some Epoxy glue to stick all piece back together. (apologies, pics are naff as I was doing it in the loft :)) I was a bit...

    Service intervals (Renault are confusing)

    My bro has a service due on his 56plate mk3 dci. It's on 74k. What's due? I rang two dealers, 1 said all fluids and filters, the other said timing belt. The first one said belts were 6years or 96k. Please can someone clear this up. The service book tells you nothing.

    Continual focus issues

    I've been taking a few panning shots of late, but i'm struggling to get the camera to focus. Kit wise, i'm using a D40 :o with a nikkor 18-200mm lens I run the camera on AF-C and the lense has VR enabled, with focus set to auto/manual. The problem i'm having is when you try to focus on the...

    Rain sensor issues

    I had my windscreen changed a while back, and the auto wipers don't work. It looks like it's due to the plastic surround that holds everything in place is coming away, and not pushing the sensor onto the glass properly. What would be go to bond plastic to glass?

    182 cup shocks

    Noticed my ns front shock has started leaking. Handling still feels ok. Do I need to change it asap, or just wait to see it get worse. What is the worst that could happen? Seized up?

    Track pads

    Basically, running ds2500/hc/braided lines/dot4 super. On track there are vibrating loads under heavy braking which makes me think they are over heating. They don't provide much confidence. Tried lifting off early and braking less harshly, but no change. This was after about 5 laps. Not running...

    Oulton Park 24 Aug 11

    A few of use off here were at Oulton on Wednesday. I was a really good day, weather held off for most of it, but when the rain did arrive, the clio's shined and chased down most things. Excuse some of the panning shots, i'm still learning :oops: Not had chance to edit them, so thought i'd just...

    Dephaser removal (unusual)

    Hi guys, I've currently got my spare 182 engine in bit in the shed, but the cams need to come out. Currently the inlet cam and dephaser are still attached to the rocker cover, but seperated from the head. Any tips on how to remove the pulley? I know usually in situ you need locking tool etc...

    Alarm beeping on lock/unlock

    I've had a few battery issues of late. All sorted now, but the car now beeps once when you unlock it, and twice when you lock it. This is all the time. Any fix?

    ph1 TB part number?

    Anyone know this? My mates just got one, but it doesn't fit the ph2 plenum. Didn't realise there was a size difference, which makes me think it's the wrong one. Thanks in advance :)
