My front wipers have been kind of jumpy recently and last night they became really slow then stopped working, the motor seems to make an effort and if I pull the wipers up the windscreen I can still feel the motor working slightly. Am I right in thinking I need a new motor/linkage? Thanks for...

My car was in for tyres, a wheel bearing and a few other bits last week. While it was in for the work to be done they done an autofitness report, everything was fine as expected but they wrote on the sheet to advise O/S/R carrier bolt. If I remember right there is a carrier on each front...

When I first start my car, reverse it out of my driveway and drive it out of my street there seems to be a strange clicking noise from the front of my car (this is the best way I can think of to describe it) when I press my brake pedal. It's not a repeated clicking noise, I'll press the brake...

I put my car (1.2l 16v) in for an MOT, full service, tracking and balancing on Wednesday to a local garage a few people had recommended to me, I was quoted £190 for all of this to be done which I thought was decent enough. About 15 minutes after leaving the car with them I got a phone call...

I have had problems with my 55 plate clio 1.2l 16v since buying it pretty much, with the engine management light and the electronic fault light constantly being lit up and I've had enough.(great little car too apart from the endless faults!) I had a mess around with it for a couple of hours...

As above, somethings rolling around inside my dashboard when I turn corners and its really annoying. I've tried removing the top half of the dash and had a look around and can't see anything, poked a magnet in any openings/gaps and couldn't find anything. Has anyone got any ideas where it could...

I saw this on monday about 8 in the morning, anyone on here?

Whats the worst that will happen if I mix a new brake pad with a decent used one on the same caliper so it will actually fit? Don't want to go ahead and do it incase it leads to uneven braking or anything

I started changing my front disks and pads today, everything was going brilliantly. I got the old ones off, cleaned the caliper and new disk and started putting it back together, the drivers side was fine and is back to normal, the passenger side is just pissing me off now, whenever I go to put...

I received my new code reader today, I plugged it in and it was giving me the fault code PO638 - Throttle actuator control range/performance bank 1 I realise theres already a thread on this exact fault code but it doesn't really give much information that I can understand as I'm an electrician...

I've recently picked up new discs and pads to replace my old ones with. I've had a look at this guide : http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?56131-172-182-Cup-Front-Pad-changing-Guide-updated and it seems like a pretty straight forward job (I'm guessing the way of changing the front...

I want to upgrade the air filter on my 1.2 16v to an aftermarket one, I have this type of engine with the big airbox/engine cover: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Breaking-Renault-Clio-1-2-16v-Engine-D4F-722-31433-Miles-Clio-Centre-/330720131152 and I'm looking at buying this k&n filter...

I'm thinking about buying this to try and clear my fault codes and turn my engine management off: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Renault-Car-Diagnostic-Fault-Code-Reader-OBD2-OBDII-CAN-BUS-EOBD-Latest-2012-/140871613981?pt=UK_Diagnostic_Tools_Equipment&hash=item20cc9a3e1d It beats paying £30 a time...

Heard a car popping and banging while sitting at traffic lights at Paisley train station. Thought it was a scooby or something, to my suprise an old clio flew round the corner and drove up the road in front of me towards moss street. It was either a black 1.8 16v or a williams I think, couldn't...

Im fitting new bushes and drop links on my anti roll bar, I cant get the clamp for the inner bushes to go on so that I can slide the bolt through and tighten it up. Its the right size I just cant get it close enough to tighten the bolt, any ideas? thanks

I want to make a start on my small list of MOT advisories on my 1.2 16v, incase I end up keeping it and putting it through another test so I don't need to do it all at once. Two of the advisories are offside + nearside front anti roll bar linkage rubber bush deteriorated but not resulting in...

I want to buy some new tyres for the front wheels of my car before winter kicks in, I had avon zv5's on last winter and in the snow my car was decent but could have been better. Can someone recommend a decent pair of all season 185/55/15 tyres I could get on my front wheels that are decent in...

I just purchased a part worn tyre which wasn't a very good purchase tbh, am I right in thinking that the little bumps in between the tread pattern is the legal limit?

Can punctures to tyre side walls be repaired? I've got avon ZV5's (I think!) which appear to have quite thick solid side walls and my neigbour said that because of this I might be able to get it repaired (he's no mechanic/tyre fitter and I really doubt it), I thought I'd get a proper answer...

I received my xsara washer jets today and got them fitted, the drivers side is useless it sprays water directly at the scuttle panel, can these be adjusted somehow? Also does anyone have any suggestions on how to remove the rear wiper? tried the guide on here and it didn't work for me

I went on to ebay to buy some citroen mist jet washers and it seems to come up a choice of 2...

I want to buy a set of aero wipers for my clio, can anyone recommend good ones?

Does anyone know if it's possible to remove the bottom grill from a non sport mk2 clio front bumper and the black trim from a mk2 172 rear bumper without taking the bumpers off? I want to paint them satin black when I paint my grill but I don't want to start pulling them off and breaking clips...

I was out for a drive earlier when these dreaded 2 lights came on: and Most of the people reading this thread will know that they are the electronic fault light and the engine management light, after these came on the car went into 'limp home mode'. I've had this before and my local mechanic...

I thought I'd ask on here to try and help my mate out, he has a 51 or 52 plate clio 1.2l can't remember which. Every time I go somewhere in his car with him I am passed the key when we get out, to lock it (pressing the button on the dash then using the lock on the door) It's not the battery...

I'm looking to change my aerial as I've recently started to hate the clio 1, I've heard alot of people change to the civic type r or a c2 aerial or something similar but I'm looking to get 1 for about a fiver, can anyone recommend any of these from ebay? I want to still be able to have a half...

I've recently bought a replacement light for the ceiling in my clio, I set about replacing it and when I went to try it out it was only working one way either coming on when the doors were opened or when moved to the on position after a bit of messing around, I then seem to have shorted all of...

I want to change the colour of the lights behind my speedo, rev counter, fuel, oil and my clock/radio display. I need 12 of the little LEDs which can be soldered to the circuit boards (in blue) can someone please tell me what they're called and where I can buy some? thanks

I'm looking to take advantage of the bogof offer that Halfords has on their cleaning chemicals this weekend as on the next nice day I intend to wash,clay,polish and wax my car as I parked right next to a flame red extreme the other day and my paintwork looked quite bad in comparison. I am new to...
