Hi all
I know nothing about 1.2s so any help gratefully received
A mate of mine has a 54 plate 1.2 clio and is having a few problems with it.
There has beeen an engine light on and sometimes it goes into limp mode and won't go over 3k rpm
I have plugged my rs tuner in and got the following
Any...
Hi
My old man has bought a new car and wants to get a new car detail on it with some protection applied.
We have previously been to MCC for one but have tried for weeks to get hold of them now with no response so need to find somewhere else.
The car is based in Nottingham but don't mind a...
So my water pump ate itself on the way home last night..
How much do I have to take off to change it ? Had a new alternator and aux belt kit ~200 miles ago but will probably put a new belt on.
Can I just relieve belt tension and lower the engine with the wheel and arch liner off and get to it...
When ticking over the battery light comes on and when at low revs when adding electrical load (lights and fans etc)
I'm pretty sure the alternator is dead as I had this problem around 9 months ago and I swapped the alternator and it was fine again. I took the alternator to a repair place and...
Right, decided to have a go at sorting my headlights out properly. I think some clown has had a go before and only sanded sections meaning there was patchy haze all over them and even the bits that were sanded looked hazy.
I think this is a really effective way to transform the front end - its...
I cleaned the roof of my m3 with a gentleish brush and some g101, rinsed it lots, let it dry, Sprayed lots of i1 on it... Used almost a full bottle and sort of massaged it into the fabric. Was expecting it to bead nicely the first time it rained but was disappointed when I saw this:
Which is...
Don't think he realises you need to spunk 3k on itbs to get that kind of power lol

no pics though, so its obviously just as mint as he says it is - despite mentioning several...

Cheapest one on there by quite some way, good little motor done 9000 trouble free miles in it since mid september.
Using my new detailing bits which I got for christmas on a 182 rear bench which got delivered today so thought I'd give it a clean before I put it in the car.
I used the Hide leather cleaner as per the instructions, cloth was a bit dirty but not too bad.
Repeated the process with the leather...
Mine has got to be IronX or gtechniq g5.
IronX looks cool when it's doing it's thing and so does g5 - it's quite nice seeing the water bead up your windscreen!
I would like to know if it is possible to put cruise control on a phase 1 172
If it can be done I would guess that the following would need to be done:
change ecu to a siemens sirius 34 ecu from a 172/182 with cruise (I know this will need unlocking etc)
change steering wheel to one with cruise...
I'm new to detailing and I've read the guides at the top of the forum
I've bought this:
AF Revive 250ml
AF Tough Coat 500ml
AF Tripple 3 500ml
AF Mercury Metal Polish
AF applicator Pad
AF microfibre cloth
AF blue black and white sponge thing
Dodo juice born to be mild 250ml
Dodo juice basics of...
I think someone has had a replacement windscreen on my 182ff and not had the rain sensor put back on. If I want the auto lights/wipers to work again is it as simple as just buying a sensor off someone breaking a car and fitting it?
cheers
can someone please take a picture of their twin horns when they are installed and with the connectors on? looks like someones done a bodge of mine at some point!
thanks
Do springs deteriorate so to speak? The set on my car look pretty old and have a fair bit of surface rust but I am going to get them shot blasted and powder coated unless there is a reason to scrap them and get new ones? They don't have any cracks and seem to be working fine..
Back in October 2010 someone reversed into me, swapped details and stuff (didn't really want to cos there was ZERO damage to my car), the third party then phones my insurance saying I've driven into him and ruined his bumper. Neither of us have any witnesses and there's no cctv so it's my word...
Hi guys - as title really. Ovbiously ignoring the auto lights etc goodies - from a size and shape point of view can I get a phase 2 (non sport) windscreen in my phase 1 172?
Cheers
I have a 2.0 16v (F4R741 - 140bhp standard) Renault scenic and a few of you may remember I put the whole top end from a 172 on it (head, cams, manifolds, tb etc) And had no end of trouble getting it to run right (turns out the cams were a mile out)
It still only made 155bhp (which was...
You may have seen my other thread about me having problems with my engine not ticking over at all. I would like to make sure all my hoses are connected to the right place so i will post pictures here and if you could be so helpful as to tell me if they're right that'd be one thing off my mind...
Hi Guys, not a clio owner but i have a 172 engine in my scenic!
Would be interested in coming to some local meets if there are any.
having major troubles getting it going at the mo so if there are any renault gurus around i'd love to get one of you to fix it!
Cheers
