    sunroof!

    Mine did this, they took the frame out, lashed a load of sicaflex (spelling?) in around it and it hasnt done it for the last two years. I think there is a proper Renault fixing kit out now for this fault on the electric sunroof - could be wrong though.

    Sunroof Fix

    Had mine fixed at the beginning of last year, hasnt creaked since. I know what you mean though, it made me so angry at times. It had gone back about 4 times for the same problem, it was solved on the 5th visit because I told them what the problem was. 4 hours later and a bit of sicaflex - no...

    1.2 16v top speed.

    The gear ratios on my 1.6 are not the same as my mates 1.2. I can do 100mph at 4750rpm whereas his is at 5000 ish. stu

    Its never Ending!!!

    Dealers are sometimes complete muppets, my clio is now on its 3rd sunroof and has been quiet for well over a year now. If they investigated the problem fully, theyd realise that its not the sunroof that rattles at all. The only reason they found the problem in the end is because I told them what...

    1.6 16v help please urgent

    This all sounds like the correct spec for the year, I was about to buy a 1.6 Rsi then i heard about the facelift model and brought that instead. (They did come with split leather seats though which made the decision more difficult but I held out and waited for the Mk2). stu

    Alarm settings

    You can set it without the motion sensors on so you can leave the windows open etc, turn the ignition on and off twice before leaving the car, when you lock the car/set the alarm it will bleep three times to confirm that its worked. That is assuming that they put the same alarm on the 172 as...

    1.2 16V Times

    I know this is going to cause a stir but I have a 1.6 dynamique with just short of 30k on the clock and 0-100 is consistently around 22-23 seconds. Im prepared to accept a small margin of error on the timing as we used a hand held computer with GPS speed measurement but its definately not 8...

    clio sunroofs

    I had my sunroof replaced completely (under warranty) as it rattled like mad, all was fine until one sunny day the bloody rattles came back so I was straight back to Renault and kicked up a fuss. Turns out the creaking and rattling wasnt the sunroof at all but the fixing/support bars? or...

    ****Drilled Air Box****

    The panel filter on a 1.6 is not inside that big sealed box its at the back of the engine where the air box/ducting joins the engine. Its an odd shape as well, like an out of shape rectangle with a sloping side. Youll need to undo the two torx bolts to get at it. Hope this helps. stu

    Engine blown On my Y-reg car!!!

    I dont think the 1.2 16v is coil on plug, it has a pack instead. Had the first coil go on me this week and it drove and sounded like a tractor. Just waiting now for the other three to go because apparently they have a habbit of going around the same time. Cant complain though, car hasnt...

    1.6 16v dynamique owners

    Have come up against about 4 different VTRs over the last year or so and the same thing happens every time, 1st and 2nd not a lot in it , then top of 2nd (55-60) start to gain/make a slight distance from VTR, 3rd gear BYE! and yes,suprisingly it is has been that dramatic every time, I suppose...

    When parking in car parks do you...

    I usually reverse into a space and park back as far as I can, rather have dents in the doors than the rear quarters if I can help it. Also, NEVER park next to MPVs or anything with a child seat in the back as these people usually need to open their doors wider to put baby/child in. Also these...

    a v.near miss!

    Pheasants are deaf so its best to flash them if you can. Had one burst all over the front of my old Nova a few years ago, it improved the cars looks no end, in fact it had to be the only modification that hadnt been done to a Nova at the time. Havent hit anything since though stu

    1.6 16v dynamique owners

    Oakely, I get a minimum of 32mpg and average 39mpg , cant ever seem to get it over 47mpg (even if I drive like a old granny). I must say I was really quite shocked to see on a recent thread that some of the 1.2 owners were only getting mid 30s ! When it had to go in to have the sunroof...

    New 2003 Model Clio / Micra

    The clio could do with the Micras reliability but not a lot else, do you think Renault will start using Nissan engines? I hope not, their reliability aside, they are all underpowered for their size. stu

    Girlracer, there are three blue ones and two silver (sorry no pearl black;)) Oakley, dont forget the 106 GTI and Saxo VTS all have quicker 0-60 times, but the difference in reality is not all that ( as you will no doubt find out for yourself ) been there a number times, with some intriguing...

    Oakley, so youre getting a 1.6 ! That will make about three of us in total that I know of on Cliosport. Ive only ever seen two others on the road in the 21,000 miles I have done in mine. I think that people either go for the 1.2 16 for economy and cheap/free insurance or one of the 172 models...

    New 1.4 16v dynamique

    The 1.2 16v doesnt do to bad as standard, I mean, you dont really start to see the difference until you hit 3rd gear in the 1.6. But maybe thats because I dont try hard enough or just cant be bothered.:confused: The good thing about the 1.6 though is that you dont have to rev the tits off of...
