Hi ,
Been looking into getting a 2nd fun/weekend car in addition to my regular main car (neither of them are Renault so i wont name the make / model :wink:) ... BUT INSURANCE is v.EXPENSIVE!
I have 11 years NCB on the main policy and a couple of insurers have mentioned mirroring this to the...
A family member is in the process of setting up a small business and wants to get a traders policy in place.
Companies so far seem reluctant to cover based on postcode, and the best quote he has so far is £5.6k!
Doesnt help he is in his 20s i guess, plus we all know how traders policies are...
Not a clio but a DC2, replacing the inner CV boots which means removing the driveshaft.I have removed one side with a little bit of a fight but the NS is nearly impossible to remove.
I am using plus gas on the hub nut and the deformed section of the nut has been bent away from the driveshaft...
Have often wondered this , just saw another thread which said with the help of a bracket you can fit brembos to the mk2.
Given than the mk2 have 16s does this still apply to the 197 ?
Are pattern part exhausts (mild steel to OE spec) available for the 197 ?
Or is it stainless system eg milltek , scorpion as the only aftermarket options ?
The internet doesn't reveal much, I suspect it's because they werent built in massive numbers the number of pattern parts isnt vast...
Hi all,
Found myself being drawn back to clios, specifically the 197 - i know there is a bit of shared BMW/Clio love on here so here goes...I currently have a 330 which i have just put up for sale, at which point i will be in a position to buy a 197.
I have owned a 172 cup and 182 previously...
Well following on from this thread http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?703938-182-blowing-exhaust-or-is-it
I decided to re-check for blows around the cat area - I revved the car whilst stationary to 6K+ rpm listening for increased noise anything visual in either of the cat joins, as i...
I need to remove a wire from the standard type connector block to the rear lights (not a clio but an alfa 147) but I am not sure on what tool I need , the local motor factors were non the wiser , any ideas?
Once removed from the block I need to replace the metal end (which plugs in the...
After wrestling with my wipers etc last night i finally managed to remove my washer bottle after i noticed it seems to loose the majority of the fluid within a few days, but keep a small amount in the bottom.
Removed it (kept the pipes attached as to not disturb them) and filled it with water...
Hi,
I have some engine , gearbox movement when backing off the throttle which leads me to believe my dogbone is shot.
Threads about the power flex inserts all seem to mention increased noise & vibration. My 182 is my daily and not a track car, is it worth going uprated or should I stick to OE?
Hi all,
Looking for some advice, I have what sounds like a typical exhaust blow from my 182 however i have examined the exhaust from the backbox to the cat/manifold join visually and feeling for air leaks and come up with nothing.
My first thought was the cat/manifold join (i have replaced...
A couple of months ago i had the exhaust off from the downpipe and replaced the manifold to cat kit and sealed the other joins on the centre section and backbox - I have rechecked these and they are not the source of the blow.
I am thinking it could be coming from the manifold to engine area...
I am planning a euro trip next month and in preparation i am planning to change the following;
Oil & Filter
Coolant & Thermostat
Gearbox oil
Pollen filter
Panel filter cleaned
Spark plugs were changed approx 8k ago, anything else i should consider changing? PAS fluid?
My current and previous Clio both had these, they seem to attract them in this area... What are my options for repairing?
Obvious thought is getting a non dented replacement door, has anyone else gone down the filler route instead?
You know to get that brand new look, cleaned them with plenty of elbow grease when I had the back box off last using autosol and fine grade wire wool, it made an improvement but there is still a long way to go...never used anything else than autosol and always had results - anything else I...

I swear it was gradually getting worse in the days leading up to me refitting an OE head unit however once refitting I can no longer get any signal most of the time, when I do its intermittent. After reading on here I took this as being the aerial base so I fitted a OE replacement base from...
