Should the clutch cable be taught where it attaches to the clutch pedal? Cheers James

Like most other 16v owners, I have the dreaded rust coming through on both rear arches. I have had a look around for new rear arches, but can only find ones for non-16v models. Any ideas where I can get new 16v ones from and how much? Thanks James

My gearbox wont go into third at all and whines and crunches when taking up the drive in all other gears. Does it sound like its dead? I think it is. If it is, how much would a decent 2nd hand box be? How long labour wise would it take to fit? If I do it myself, how hard is it to do...

My fan switch has died and I want to get a new one this weekend. I want a low temp one, but I cant wait for one to be delivered from BB. I know that the one they sell is the same as another Renault fan switch, but I cant remember which model. Any idea? Thanks James

Can somebody please post up the fitting guide for 16v leather please. I was a member, but cannot rejoin at the moment and therefore cannot view the guide. Thanks

Would a knackered ISCV cause poor fuel consumption on a valver? If not, any ideas what could? Thanks

I have just fitted a 2nd hand cooling fan to my 16v as the old one was on its way out and it wont work. I have by-passed the temperature sensor in the rad and it still wont come on. I want to eliminate any possible problems with the actual wiring in the car, including the relay, so I want to...

Can anybody recommend a good bodyshop in the South East? Am looking at a full respray, with rear arches being cut out, new ones fitted and undersealed and a bit of smoothing. Thanks James

I filled my car up last night, usual garage, usual grade of fuel. On my way into work this morning, the car was accelerating a bit lumpy (for want of a better word!), it felt as if there was fuel starvation. The car has not done this before and I am thinking that it may be a bit of bad...

My Pioneer headunit display died the other day. i am still using it at the moment, but I will be looking to get a new headunit soon. I would like to get a minidisc headunit, but Pioneer dont do them and I would like to keep my CD autochanger. Can I buy an adaptor so that I can use my...

I have just replaced the engine mounts on my 16v (88k miles). The old ones looked fine from on top, but once they were off, it was obvious they were knackered. It was a fairly easy job to do and the difference that it has made is amazing. I have had a horrible klonking sound coming from the...

I am right in thinking that there are only 3 engine mounts on the Clio 16v, top RH, LH (under battery) and dogbone? Cheers James

I have just got some twin headlamps for the car, but I dont really know what to do about the indicators. I really want to use the indicator in the light nearest the grille, as discussed in Nick Reads thread some months back. Unfortunately, as I will have to use a motorbike bulb and bulb holder...

My oil pressure guage is not working. :( To fix it, is it just a case of fitting a new sensor? If so where is it? and how much would it cost? Also is it worth replacing the coolant sensor? Thanks James

The rev counter is sticking in my 16v. :( What is causing this? How do I fix this? Thanks James

I will be fitting new track rod ends & ball joints to my 16v this weekend. Is it fairly easy to do? Thanks James

I am thinking of using this on my 93 16v. The car has done 86k. What are the dangers, if any, of using this? And what benefits will it give me? Thanks James

This morning I drove my 93 Clio 16v to work as normal, 40 minute journey, fairly heavy traffic. On a few occasions the car felt as if was going to cut out, like the car was running out of petrol, it was a bit hesitant.:( The engine speed was around 4.5-5k. What could this be?:confused: Is it...

There is a knocking noise coming from the rear passenger side of my valver.:( The car is lowered 35mm with Koni adjustables. The exhaust isnt knocking and I have checked the tightness of all the damper bolts and also the hub nuts and they are fine. The noise does not occur all of the time...

I have just lowered my car using a Koni adjustable kit. Koni quote that the springs on the front will lower the car by up to 40mm. Does it take some time before I will see this type of drop at the front as it is nowhere near that at the moment. Thanks James

I have just changed the fronts for Koni adjustables. It was quite an easy job, the only problem I had was removing the top mount, but once that was off it was pretty much plain sailing. I fitted new bearings, rubbers and top mounts as well. The difference that it has made is amazing. The...

I will be lowering the rear of my 16v this weekend. I know that I need an M10 bolt, 2 nuts and also a 1/2" drive socket. I need to know what size 1/2" socket do I need. Thanks James

... not with my car though. For once;) My Dad has a 1.9 Clio Diesel and he has just had the cambelt changed. Ever since he has noticed a squeaking noise on start-up. Once warm the noise gets less noticeable. I have had listed and it seems to be coming from the aux. belt area. This belt hasnt...

My Mongoose cat back system had always knocked on the bottom of the car ever since I got it.:( I have just had the exhaust re-hung using Poly X Plus exhaust mounts from Rally Design. These are competition mounts and only cost £9.90 for a set of 3. I know have no knocking whatsoever and the...

I have just had new disks and pads put on the rear. There is a terrible screeching noise coming from the rear brakes just before I come to a stop. Could this just be a case of allowing the rear brakes to bed in or is it a seized caliper? James

Mine was quite heavy before I had the system bled, now it is very light, in fact it feels too light. Im running 17s on mine, so I would have thought that I would be fairly heavy still. Would having the system bled lighten the steering or has something else gone wrong with it? James

My power steering fluid is leaking through the hole in the cap on the reservoir. So much is leaking through that it is ending up on the bonnet.:( The power steering has been thoroughly checked and there do not appear to be any air leaks. The garage will also be bleeding the system for me. If...

I am having a bit of trouble putting the car into gear from standstill, once Im on the move its ok. Is the clutch cable stretched and therefore needs replacing or am I looking at a new clutch? BTW. The clutch isnt splipping. Thanks James

Can I remove the bump strips on the 16v bumpers or are they part of the construction. Thanks James
