Yeah it does. The video I am posting is taking at a stand still (this will become obvious when you notice the bonnet is up... :P)

Hi Davo - on further inspection it actually does it throughout the rev range, not just a the high end as I wrote initially... And yeah it is like a high pitched whine. I will post a video on it in a second- see what you think

Cheers for the post Seany Ok i'll try and get a video up soon as I can. I certainly hope it's nothing to do with the gearbox - I have it refurbished last year and the clutch replaced after a problem in the 2nd and 3rd chambers!

Hey all, Sorry to write another Clio Sport faulty mechanics post but... on acceleration above 3k or so in the rev range there is a rather high pitch whining noise - (the whine sounds almost like the BMW Cooper S if you have ever been in one?) It had its aux/cam belts changed last year and has...

Cheers for the posts gents. I found the PE2s on tyrewizard.co.uk although the price seems to have gone up a bit today?? I didn't actually know they had been discontinued - are the PE3s much better? Gt rob - I would imagine it probably can be repaired but like I say I have wanted to replace it...

Hi chaps, Just discovered I have a slow puncture on one of my rear tyres so time to replace. Been meaning to replace it for some time anyway since it's a Yokahama that came on the car when I bought it but since its on the rear of my 182 it just never wears down! :P Anyway, just wondering...

Ok guys- well 2 months and a few trips to JMS later and my car is officially fixed!! Turns out it was the gearbox all along; the bearings were gubbed and the rotating mechanisms within the gearbox (in the 2nd and 3rd chamber I think I was told) were also in need of repair. Overall it cost me...

Hi Fred, The specialist mentioned that the labour associated with changing the clutch is free as the car is apart anyway so they are only charging me for a Renault Original Clutch kit at £190.00 Do you also own a specialist garage that would be able to work on my car?

OK so I thought I would give you an update on the situation. Have contacted a specialist and he has quoted me £795. Breakdown as follows: Labour for removing and refitting the gearbox - £400.00 (8 hours at £50.00 per hour) Gearbox rebuild costs - £320.00 Gearbox Oil - £75.00 For those with...

Hi Budgie, Just considering all my options here. This gearbox that you have for sale- how did you manage to get hold of it? Did you strip it out from your old 182? Is it re-conditioned? How much would you look to sell it for if I decided it would be best for me to buy one? Cheers

I think this is absolutely terrible. It is quite clear from what I have read that they are taking no reasonable steps to remedy the situation and by taking back the courtesy car the way they did is so unprofessional. Having read what the other more technically sound members have written, it...

Ok thanks- I have looked up JMS tuning. Its just made me want to tune up my car even more now- even though its gettin older and I should maybe be looking to sell it haha! Ill fire them off an email tonight and let you know what they say. Budgie- the noise comes as I accelerate (not necessarily...

Once again thanks for your posts gents- appreciated. So I think the best thing for me to do would be to source a Renault Sport specialist in the Bromley, Kent area and have him check it out. Would anyone know of any round this part of the country? If not I think it might be a good idea for me...

haha Renault don't do a 2.0 clio eh?! Love it! Well I'm from Glasgow (hence the Weegie name!) but I'm working and living down in a place called Bromley near London at the minute (Kent) Would you know of any near there? Also do you think they would be willing to come to the car as opposed to me...

Thanks for the post mate- really stupid question I know but when people refer to a specialist are they meaning a Renault Garage or just someone that specialises in Gearboxs or performance cars?

Thanks for your posts guys. I think the problem lies in that we won't know exactly what's wrong with the gearbox until the garage has had the chance to take it all out and strip it down. I could be wrong but I think this is where the cost comes from i.e. the cost of labour as opposed to the...

the noise sounds like a realease bearing apparently. the noise goes away when you dip the clutch. the noise is really obvious when you drive down an enclosed road with the window down so you can hear the car, i dont know if its just common for the gearbox to be this noisy? Hi Lottie, I...

Hey all, this is my first post on the site and sadly it comes as something of a necessity rather than a luxury :( My Clio 182 has developed a horrible rattling noise when I am in gear and decelerating. Iv since had it into the garage (was due a service anyway) and they told me it would...
