    How can I find out everything I need to know about 200s?

    Afternoon all! I'm back! Many moons ago I had a 172 which I thrashed to heck on track and loved. But unfortunately I had to sell it to fund a house. But now I am in a position to look at getting a new track car and a Clio 200 is top of the list. Back when I was a super mega 172 fanboy I knew...

    Mk3 RS Clio Versions?

    I remember (although I can't seem to find it) that there was a guide on here that detailed the differences between the 172/182 specs (normal, Cup, Cup Chasis, FF, Trophy, etc etc). Is there a similar guide anywhere for the Mk3's (197 and 200s)? I'm interested in learning about the different...

    Cheap Seat

    I would like an alternative drivers seat that is considerably lower than the standard seat, provides more lateral support, fits a "larger" gentleman, passes an MOT (has runners), uses the original standard belts, and costs as little as possible. What are my options, or am I dreaming?

    ABS ECU not detected by RS Tuner?

    I'm working with Henk through the support channels of Fastchip.nl, but I was wondering if anyone else had seen this issue. I have a Clio 172 phase 2 thats supposed to have the ABS ECU supported by RS Tuner, and I've bought the module unlock code, but no matter what I do RS Tuner won't find an...

    That budget K Tec induction kit clone from eBay that was posted on the front page?

    A few months back there was a thread on here where a guy made a decent clone of a K Tec induction kit using a metal elbow and filter from eBay. It was pinned to the site home page for a bit too. Had anyone got a link to the thread? I can't remember who it was who posted it and can't find it in...

    How do you remove the relays in the engine bay?

    I need to swap the 3 black ones around in my 172 to try and diagnise why my car won't start, but I can't see how to get the relays out? I've pulled straight up but they don't budge? Is there a clip or something holding them in? Am I missing something? Thanks

    Where to grease me squealers?

    I've just fitted some new CL5 front pads and the squeal is horrendous! Much worse than the previous set I had (also CL5s). I applied some Copper grease to the back of the pads before fitting but it seems to have been ineffective. Where else should I put grease to stop them screeching all the...

    RS Tuner can't disable Pretentioner?

    So I've plugged my new RS Tuner (with the Airbag module) in and it confirms my Airbag light is on due to the pretentioner cables under the passenger seat. However if I lock and then configure the Airbag ECU, it won't let me disable the Pretentioner causing the issue. It says the "Aitbag ECU...

    Anyone with CLIP or RS Tuner in Surrey?

    Does anyone have a CLIP or an RS Tuner with the airbag module and fancies disabling whatever is triggering my airbag light in exchange for some beer money? If you have an RS Tuner but not the module I can buy the module for you instead. I'm in Leatherhead, and my MOT expires in 5 days and I...

    Turning airbag light off with CLIP?

    Am I correct in thinking that you can turn off the airbag light with CLIP so that even without any resistors or an airbag fitted the lights will come on when you start the ignition as normal but then go off and stay off? If so where can I get it done and how much will it cost me? My airbag...

    Positive Battery Terminal

    Where can I get a replacement positive battery terminal? The whole thing, connectors and red plastic cover and all? Mines manky and doesn't tighten properly and the covers broken.

    Cheapest place for refurbished calipers?

    My burn finger confirms one of my rear calipers is binding. What's the best place for a refurbished one? I've found them for £88 with a £12 rebate so far.

    Aaarghh!

    So I'm taking my wheels off to raplace my rear disks when I spot... Argh! The tyres only about 1000 miles old! Bloody car! /vent

    Droning from rear

    I'm fairly certain one or both of my rear bearings are gone, as I have a constant drone coming from the rear that changes pitch with speed. But I've just jacked it up and there's no movement in the wheels. Is there anything else I should look for before ordering some OEM disks with bearings...

    Full specs of standard 1*2 wheel bolts?

    Does anyone know the full spec (thread, head type, radius, etc) of the standard wheel bolts on 1*2s? I'm looking at 20mm spacers so may get some new shorter bolts rather than try and hacksaw my current ones.

    FK System B Spacers - Wrong Bolts?

    I've just got some 20mm FK bolt to hub spacers, but I'm not sure they have the correct bolts? The spacers have tapered holes that look like they are designed for tapered head bolts, like standard wheel bolts. However what came with them are the squared headed allen key type bolts? Its also a...

    Llandow the tyre killer!

    Stuck one of the keyring cameras in a magnetic mount to the underside of my car for a session at Llandow. You can see why it gets a reputation for being hard on tyres! And yes, I know my ARB bushes are shagged and my centre exhaust mount has snapped (again) :p.

    Easiest way to rebush the front end?

    Having stuck a magnetic camera under my car on a track day I can visibly see just how shagged my front ARB bushes are. I assume the wishbone bushes are equally screwed. I've heard changing the ARB bushes can be a complete ball ache to change. What's the easiest way to replace the ARB bushes...

    OBD2 not reading airbag codes

    My ebay Bluetooth OBD2 reader doesn't pick up any faults stored in my ECU, yet my airbag light is on? Are airbag codes like ABS code, in that they are hidden away and unreadable without a CLIP?

    Centre exhaust mount - Solid alternative?

    My centre exhaust mount is broke again! Before I chuck another flimsy Renault one on again (this will be the 3rd in 4 years), are there any alternatives, preferably solid and not liable to splitting. I wrapped my last one in exhaust wrap and metal cable ties but the saggy exhaust still managed...

    MOT failure, no airbag

    So KwikFits interpretation of the MOT rules means after market wheels are a fail as the originally fitted airbag is missing. What's my options. Buy an original wheel and airbag and fit for the MOT? Or is there a presidence I can use? He's gonna finish the MOT, but its a fail regardless.

    10mm or 15mm spacers with Sportline springs?

    I have Cup shocks and Sportline springs on my 172 and plan to get some spacers. A couple of questions regarding the rears; Do I go 10mm or 15mm? Will there be rubbing issues with either? I'm using OZ F1 wheels from a phase 1. Do I get camber? I've got a couple of degrees up front, but not sure...

    Removing front wipers

    I need to get to my washer bottle as it's either broke or a pipes come off, but I can't get the front wipers off to get access. I've undone the bolt and tugged and twisted and swore but they just won't move. Are they usually a pain to remove, or am I doing something wrong? The windscreen was...

    Better... rather than just moar powa

    Assuming my car passes its MOT it's service time again, meaning I will hover over all the air filter and induction kit options for a few days, before just buying a stock paper filter. But am I missing out? I know the power increase claims have been pretty much disproved over the years, but are...

    Seats with better leg support?

    Having woken up the day after a few recent track days with a sore patch on the outside of my right knee, I've figured out what it is. I'm instinctively bracing myself against the door card with it when going through left hand turns. I'm a pretty big chap with long legs so I tend to sit more 'on'...

    Front wipers froze, now wont work.

    I started the car this morning without noticing the front wipers were frozen to the screen. The arms tried to move and then stopped. However having cleared the ice and turned the car off and on the wipers now won't work at any setting. The rear still works fine. Any idea where I should look...

    3.5mm to AUX cable

    I'd like to have a 3.5mm input to my stereo in my 172, but all the ebay ads list the cables as being for 2005+. Mines a 2002, is it possible, and which cable do I need? Cheers.

    Caster. Is it adjustable?

    My car is pulling left. Does it ever so slightly under acceleration, but gets stronger when coasting off throttle. From what i remember from my 4 wheel alignment the only unbalanced figures were the front caster, which had about half a degree difference (I've lost the print out). Could this...
