Hi All,
Had a quick search but nothing solid found, how hard is it to replace an inner steering rack gaiter? Just failed MOT on this, rear shocker and hazards not flashing in phase, shocks and switch I can handle but have recently done a CV boot and vowed never again, not sure whats involved in...
Yesterday driving home resulted in this, think it's a case of buy cheap, buy twice! Metal has seemed to of... dissolved, anyway, this added fuel to my 'keep the clio as a project and buy an r26' argument...
She also reached this milestone on the same day.
Still love it to bits though...
So i've taken the BTB off and sadly put the cheap and nasty renault exhaust back on - it was either sorn and mothball it now i have a daily diseasal or let...my...mum drive it, yeah i have actually gone mad but she doesnt like the noise and does only drive at 14mph generally. At least this way i...
Seen as the old girl sailed through her mot today, I thought I'd better give her a clean. Excuse the bendy bumpers, its level but the bumper makes it look like its on the piss. Photography is very beginner but its a nice back drop. Enjoy.
Fitted my newly aquired second hand Prolines yesterday (thanks again lindleyp btw), massive improvement, better ride all round, imo they dont make it any harsher just seems to have improved on what renault already gave us. really happy. so for anyone thinking of doing it - do it. :approve:
alreet,
i'm so nearly there with this ph 1 172, just a couple of things left to fix.
i've read you can swap the lambda's over, post and pre cat, i fancy doing this to see if it helps mpg and cold running, mpg isn't that pants but i never really see anything above 31, i've done plugs and...
pollen filter chaged by previous owner at 77k according to history, so this is what one looks like having been in the wrong way with 10k on (in) it. am i being harsh but its pretty obvious with an arrow near the housing and instructions telling you which way they fit...i probably should have...
ordered a set of powerflex for my phase 1, this http://www.kamracing.co.uk/index.php/renault/renault-clio-mk2/engine/engine-mountings/powerflex-dogbone-engine-mount-renault-clio-mk2-2-0-rs-172-phase-1.html, how easy are they to get in? was thinking i'd just pop them to the local grease monkey to...

so i was doing some odd jobs for a relative's neighbour, really nice bloke, knew he had a ferrari f355 hiding, get to the end of the job and casually he asks if i wanted to go for a blast.....urr yes please.
so after a letting it warm up we go for it, OMG does not do it justice, the sound...
keep fit windows and steering
and then...
the 1.6k4m was pretty nippy, but in comparison with the present...well you know the score
will lower her a little in due course but anyways enjoy me pride and joy.:)
so my new car had no detail of a cambelt/aux belt, but otherwise decent history. however today i put it in for belts, with the assumption they must have been done....:nono:fail. cracked tesioners, rusty bearings, cambelt rubbing said the mechanic. close shave there.
hi all, not long had my ph 1 172, and twice now, the alarm will arm ok but then when i come to open, the alarm sounds, but it sounds odd, like its shorting on something, sometimes it rings continuously and then cut to siren, really odd. i tried open and slamming bonnet r.e. bonnet sensors but...
