I've seen a dCi 100 advertised and want to know if it's a genuine 100 or if the seller is just being a bit hopeful... I know on later Renaults, the service book sticker tells you the power but is there a way of telling MK.2 dCis apart? Checked the 172's service book and there's no build sticker...

Been considering a 197 or 200 of late but the gearboxes are causing me concern. Is there a fix for the weak 'box or is there a tried and tested replacement for them that solves the dairylea OE 6 speed? As far as I can tell, the rest of the car is a solid prospect but the dark cloud of a...

So, having missed my 172 (but not too much, as the missus now has it :) ) I bought a black 1.6 16v Dynamique as a cheap runaround - I had been looking for a 1.2 or 1.4 but this one came up at a price I couldn't refuse, even with the extra tax and insurance plus it had working AC and all the auto...

Bought a complete driveshaft from Renault 2 years ago, at a cost of £150, to replace the N/S driveshaft after discovering that the outer CV boot has split and sprayed the wheel with grease... It's covered about 15k of normal driving since then and I had thought all was fine, what with me...

Been chasing a lumpy idle for a while and was thinking coils or plugs but the car ran fine otherwise, so I did some more research and take it to bits. Turns out that all the rubber seals on the inlet manifold had gone quite brittle and the throttle body O ring was fairly loose in the inlet...

I have a judder when accelerating from 40-60mph or so. No vibration at cruise, engine runs sweetly above and below that speed. I've read that the gearbox end of the driveshaft can wear and cause these symptoms. On inspection, there is fluid weeping from one side of the gearbox... Question...

What a terrible, terrible design. As for fitting it on the car... OMG.

I ordered a dogbone mounting for my 1.6 Dynamique from Renault and it was a whopping £11.26! Yes, eleven pounds and twenty six pence. Even the parts guy was surprised. Nice. At the time, I asked about the dogbone off a 172 ph.2 and it was about £37+VAT... so I passed on that one. Now, the one...

Anyone care to recommend plugs and coils for the k4m? Looking on the bay, OEM sparks are ~£25, Bosch Super 4 £19 and stock NGK, Bosch or Denso are about £14... Coils wise, there are some real cheap ones for £5-10 or Valeo for £17 each... Alternatively, if anyone gas some decent ones...

I have an N3 V5.2 UCH and I'm looking to replace it. Can I use any V5 UCH or does it have to be specifically an N3 V5.2? I have seen V5.5 and a few others.

It's not terrible but the 172 is a fair bit better so... is there a repair kit available to take some of the slop out?

Got an intermittent issue with the ratcheted UCH plug, as described here - http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?716352-UCH-Clicking-Relay-flashing-lights-juddering-wipers-juddering-window-solved&p=9834502#post9834502 My question is, what portion of the wiring loom do I need to...

Has the Twingo inlet been done? Read that it might be possible but not found a thread with it done. What about the inlet off a Megane with the TB on the side? Thinking of fitting a spare 172 airbox I have, get rid of the stupid inlet design but keep it looking factory.

So, I took off the Dynamique centre caps (naturally, there was no key for them, so I had to use a hammer and punch) and found, to my obvious(?) excitement, that there were a full set of McGard style lockers on there, of course, the ones with the spinning outer rings... So, not remembering any...

When I got the 1.6 16v and went to pick it up, there was an odd issue with the UCH relays clicking away and the lights flashing, windows juddering, wipers juddering (electrically) etc. After some research, I decided on balance to buy the car anyway but got a suitable discount to cover a...

I've just picked up a 2003 ’53’ Clio 1.6 16V Dynamique 3 door as a runaround and it had a couple of issues, one of which was the passenger side window not working. I did a lot of searching and saw that there were lots of possible things that I needed to check, so I decided to get on with it...

Just picked up a 1.6 16v Dynamique as a runaround and it's got the stock twisted 5 spokes on it. I'd like to get something a little more special on there, in 15 inch with 195/50R15 on them. Been looking at Turbines and Williams Speedlines, as I'd like something a bit classic and direct fit. Any...

Been doing a bit of looking about & searching, as the cambelt on the 172 is due for replacement in December. So far, I've phoned City Motors Renault (£705 incl. WP & DP) and Renatec (awaiting price). Anywhere else to try in the local area? Seen Longwell Green mentioned and a few places further...

Just fitted some new top mounts to my 172 ph2 and used the modified spacer from Renault. The parts that came off the car were all original and Renault and the shocks were too. When I took the car for a test drive, there was a horrendous clunk from one side. A bit of investigation later and it...

I've been searching and searching on this subject but there seems to be a lot of ideas but I've not seen a definitive answer as to which component(s) give the increased castor on the 172 cup (and 182s) vs. the normal 172. Some suggest the hubs, others say they're identical (the 182 and 182 cup...

Hi all, I'm looking for the stock camber, castor & toe angles settings for Ph1 & 2 172 / 172 Cup / 182 / 182 Cup / Trophy to see what differences there are (or aren't). I've searched on here but haven't found what I'm after just yet. Does anyone have access to this information and wouldn't mind...

Just looking at getting an RS Tuner license to use with my original RS Tuner (v 1.08 IIRC) and the price seems to have doubled since the last time I looked at the end of last year (95 euro vs ~50) -...

I've been searching to find out what the OE ARB diameters are for 172 / 172 Cup / 182 / 182 Cup but haven't managed to find what I'm after. I see that the Whiteline rear is 18mm. Will 182 Cup ARBs fit on a stock Ph2 172? Thanks in advance, AndyC

Interested if the 182 Cup springs will fit a 172. Have done some research and found that the struts off the 182 Cup won't fit but I'm hoping to get some 172 cup dampers. The other option is 172 cup springs. I haven't found spring length and rate information for each Clio type - is this info on...

Bit of an odd one. A mate noticed a pool of gearbox oil under my car (annoyingly it was new too) and on investigation, it seems that the black end cover had shed 2 of the 3 bolts holding it in and the plate has subsequently worked itself loose, resulting in a fairly decent leak! Good save, as...

I'm looking to get something to read & reset the codes on my recently purchased Clio 172. A bit of searching has shown that there are handheld ones on eBay for about £25, as well as Chinese leads for about the same or there's the option of an RStuner box. Just wondering if there are any other...

Hi all, I'm just about to purchase a 172 that has Eibach Sportline springs on. It looks great and drives well but for reasons of insurance (even through Sky), I am looking at the cost of putting the springs back to stock, either using new or used springs. It might be that the cost to restore to...

Hi all, I've been lurking on here for a while but until now, haven't had the funds to get myself a Clio, due to a BMW E30 318is (now sold) and my Audi S2 coupe fast road / track car. I used to work with JR many moons ago and he pointed me in the direction of the forum to get advice and look for...
