Two white Clio's (197's I think) parked up next to each other in Sainsbury's car park in Watchmoor Park, Camberley tonight at around 7.30pm.

Lovely Clio Cup parked in the Baxter Storey carpark that is currently at the Compton Lab in Compton. I have parked my Type R next to you :)

Blue 172 Cup this morning at around 8.00am. You came from Fleet direction, into Hartley Whitney and then on the road that takes you towards Reading. I noticed you had a Cliosport sticker in your drivers side rear window. It looks like you had 182 wheels also. I was behind in the grey Civic Type R.

Saw you waiting at the roundabout and you then headed towards Aldershot.I was in the flame red 172 and I did nod and wave but not sure you saw. Your car looked ace.

Very nice liquid yellow 182 parked at the top of the car park in Sainsburys Watchmoor Park in Camberley on Thursday 7th June. Seen it in there before also.

My 2002 flame red Clio 172 is amazing. Only has 73K on the clock and drives like a dream. Has been super reliable with only a few small issue with the biggest being a leaking radiator which I had replaced. Condition inside is mint and still has the original Renaultsport mats, stereo, CD (CD part...

The previous owner of my Ph2 172 had the cambelt changed at 49k miles back in March 2007. Five years on and the mileage is now 71k so 21k more. When should I think about getting the belts changed? The reason I ask is I know some manufacturers specify a mileage or period, depending on what comes...

Sorry if this has been answered before although I have just spent an hour using the search without much luck. Looking at using my Ph2 Clio 172 which is totally standard for a bunch of trackdays. Not going to turn it into a hardcore trackday hack as budget is very tights and to be honest, the...

Hi, I seem to have a small problem with my phase 2 Clio 172. I seem to be losing coolant. I first started noticing it a few months ago. I was stuck in slow moving traffic and the temp gauge climbed up to the very top. The fan came on ok and once traffic was moving and air flowing through the...

I imagine the answer to this is going to be yes, but I'll ask anyway. If you get a remap and matched inlets done to your clio, should you notify your insurance company that it has had these modification done to it, despite there possibly not being much or any increase in BHP? If you do tell...

I am thinking of getting the K-Tec Stage 2 tuning done to my 172 next year. I will get KTR CNC Matched Inlets, KTR PTFE Manifold Gaskets and KTR Sport Bespoke Remap for 450.00. My main reason for doing this is to cure the cold starting issue and to improve the throttle response. I am not sure if...

I currently have a standard 172 which is great fun although I do feel its a little lacking. I was thinking of doing a few mods like some Eibach Pro Lowering Springs and maybe the K-Tec stage 1 tuning, even to just make it smoother and cure the cold start problems. However, I have some money...

I currently have a ph2 172 which is pretty standard apart from Ktec stealth exhaust. Car is in lovely condition and only has 65k on the clock. However I really like the twin pipes on the 182 as well as the improved suspension and alloys on the 182 with both cup packs. Is this 182 with cup...

This is a picture of the dashboard dimmer dial panel in my ph2 172. You can see the dashboard dimmer dial in the centre. The hole on the right is where the bluetooth kit was fixed by the previous owner. However, I have no idea what the black circle is to the right of the dimmer dial or what the...

Probably need some new tyres for my 172 later this year, especially if I do the odd track day. The car currently has Continental Sport Contact's but I keep reading good things about the Uniroyal Rainsport 2's. Is there much difference between these two tyres or just personal opinion? Any...

Ok, this might be a little hard to explain but here goes. I have a Clio 172, 02 plate all standard apart from the Ktec stealth exhaust. If I am stationary and start to lift the clutch and pull away normally, the revs tend to drop very quickly and the car seems to splutter a little and I have...

My passenger electric window on my Mk 2 172 will not close. The drivers side window button works ok to open and close the drivers side window but the drivers side button for the passenger window does nothing at all. The passenger side button will make the window go down but not up. The window is...

Hi all, my Ph 2 172 has a standard Renault panel filter. Is it worth upgrading to a K-Tec Racing panel filter or will there be no difference at all and just a waste of money? If there is any difference, is it sound, throttle response, mpg, performance etc? Thanks

I've only had my ph 2 Clio 172 for about a month now and it has developed a few faults. They are, 1. Water in the drivers footwell, under the drivers seat and behind the drivers seat. 2. Car won't actually start now. 3. When it did start, idling a bit lumpy and very rough for the first few...

The other day, I went out to my ph 2 clio 172 and it would not start. The engine would turn over but it would not fire into life. The immobiliser light flashes and when you put the key in, the light goes solid and after 5 seconds it goes out. I left the car for the day and when I came back to...

Hi, only had my clio 172 for a few weeks and have a new problem. Noticed last night that the service light and airbag light came on. So, when looking at the connections under the drivers seat to fix, I noticed a puddle and the carpet soaked. I've also just noticed that its soaked behind the...

Hi all, Been having a good read of the forum and gathering lots of usefull advice on what mods to do to my Ph2 Clio 172. So far, the general feeling is that brakes, tyres and suspension is the best way forward. I'm not after performance gains, just an improvement over the standard Renault...

Hi everyone, I have just bought a lovely Renault Clio 172 on an 02 plate. It drives pretty nicely and I am generally very happy with it. However, it does have a bit of an issue when starting from cold. For the first few minutes of driving, there is some resistance with the engine. When I try...

Hi everyone, Just bought a Clio 172 in flame red and so far very happy with it. Been a Renault fan since the age of 7 when Renault entered F1. My dad liked Prost because he won lots and I liked Arnoux because he crashed lots :) My dad always had Reanult's starting with a 4 I think, then a 12...
