After reading the ongoing saga of the 2021 Cliosport calendars, has anyone placed an order with Autodoc or any other EU parts supplier, and encountered delivery delays?.
I would like to hear of peoples experiences before placing an order.
5 working days was the normal delivery, pre 01/01/2021.
So thought I'd change the water pump after it had failed on me. I was able to remove 6 of the 9 bolts without any issue.
The remaining three have rounded. As there is little space I have removed headlight, tensioner and alternator.
Any tips for removing the rounded star shape bolts? I've...
Well I exceeded my deadline of purchasing the car before I turned 21 but it took a little longer than expected to find the right one.
After months of looking I decided to take a break. Went to the Nurburgring in the 182 and met a Carrera 4s owner out there. Seeing one in person made me want one...
You may recall a thread I put up which was titled '£30k to spend, what performance car?'
(link http://cliosport.net/threads/%C2%A330k-to-spend-what-performance-car.807114/page-3#post-11383734)
After looking through all of the suggestions and thinking about what I want from the car. I came to...
Apologies if the question comes across a little idiotic.
But what performance car could you recommend that will not lose more than 5% of its value in 6 months to a year of ownership?
Basically the problem is simple.
> Select reverse
> Lift clutch ever so slighty
> Car and engine violently shakes like its going to stall (revs hardly drop at all),
> Then once you are going quicker than say 2mph it will be fine and reverse like normal.
NOTE:
> There is no EML nor does...
So I have previously used the audio controls on the steering wheel in my regular clio 1.2 dynamique
Headunit is Pioneer DEH-X9600BT
All worked fine together.
Put the system in my 182 all plugs where they should be and the controls are not working.
I notice that the yellow lead which I assume is...
Hey guys I am back with another car!
Still have my other 2 which you can check the threads here:
My first car clio mk2 (interesting read): http://cliosport.net/threads/my-cherry-red-1-2-mk2-ph2-clio-first-car.740304/
My second car Golf Mk4 GTi (interesting also)...
Might be buying it tomorrow (first time viewing) looks in good nic
Has a Cliosport sticker and apparently the previous owner was on here and a big clio nut!
Worth a shot to see if I can find the old owner in 24 hours to tell me if its a lemon or not :)
Changed my engine and put everything back together. Went to drive the car and it won't go into gear only reverse, even then it just grinds and doesn't engage. I have tried the method of putting both the gear selector on the box and gear knob in reverse and it still didn't work
Cars not starting now and its the first time I have started it since removing the boot lid (been sent to a body shop for some work)
I don't know for sure if its the boot and the likely answer is to just try connecting the boot again and I will when I get it back.
Just interested to know if...
Basically doing a mod on my GTi tailgate with the latching system from the newer MK5+ golfs.
In the process of getting it aligned for welding I did cut too far on the left hand side. The welding is complete (welded on backside) although I have a large gap now on the left hand side. How should I...
So my mates dad owns a renault shop and is clearing stock.
He's had it for 40+ years now
Found these today although they are singles not in a full set.
Anyone know the names? I forgot to check the boxes but I love the turbine style one and the polished one.
They maybe for sale if anyones...
End of November I was drunk at my cousins party celebrating a religious thingy ma bob and one thing lead to another and I had bought a car off my cousin.
So couple days later I picked this up:
This car is stupid fast and has had various improvements made to its running gear to insure that it...
Right so my car has done this for as long as I can remember and I really want it sorted now as its annoying.
If I start the car instantly when cold (so from ignition OFF to ON) the revs will bounce up and down for about 5 seconds then everything will go back to normal.
If I left the ignition in...
hypothetical only
Assuming you had two cars your daily and something else. The daily is insured at your home address but your 'something else' is in your mates house garage somewhere.
What address do you insure the 'something else' car at?
Always wondered if the address relates to the car or...
It would nice to own a Clio 200 at some point in my life (now) but I only want to keep it for a short period say 6 months to a year. The models I have been looking at are Full fat with cup pack (recaros and sat nav) with 30-50k miles for around £7500 any idea on whats happening to the value on...
I broke one of the clips on my engine cover just wondering what solvent/adhesive I can use to stick it back on? I am concerned the heat from the engine may affect it in the long run.
Cheers!

Hi Guys
My heater unit is able to blow out hot and kind of cold air. But you cant switch between them when the engine is running.
For example, say the heating was set to hot and you were driving, even if you turned it down to MINI with AC it would do nothing at all. But if you switch the engine...
Seen these for my 1.2 dynamique (yes I race this car everywhere)

Question is will they be good with Brembo Pads or any other...
This happens when the car is started immediately when the key is inserted.
If I leave the key on the on position for about 5 seconds this problem doesn't happen. I changed the coil pack but this didn't solve it, it may be the battery but that was tested as ok.
I recorded what happens link to...
How do you remove the glass please anyone??
All the other people post this and just say "oh yeah done it" without actually saying.
Anyone know how to do it????
So because the insurance system in the UK is so clever that a 1.2 clio costs me like £3000 to insure but a Clio 200 is £1000 I am getting a 200 in a couple of months time (when my NCB hits 2 years).
Anyway thoughts on the 200's?
Love @G8RSH 200 looks stunning.
Whats fuel like?
Do about 5...
Every time I go over 60mph and mostly around 76mph I get a really loud wind whistling noise in the cabin. At first I thought it was the hole in the mirrors but have found that it is the sunroof. I have sealed my sunroof with windscreen sealer (had a leaking problem) but not sure how to fix...
So basically I have the following equipment:
Hertz HDP5 5 channel amplifier
Audison Bit Ten D Signal Processor
12" generic subwoofer (will get audison or hertz)
I am looking at Audison/hertz components and was wondering to go either 3 way partially passive or 2 way active?
The reason because...
Been offered two pretty much new Michelin PS3's although one is XL and one isn't.
If I use this setup on my front wheels will I notice any difference? Or should I go both XL or non XL ?
Regards,
Jay
Seen a set on ebay for cheap just wondering how are they? Want my car low to the point where the wheels are like a inch away from the arch (if that makes sense) not looking for immense lows but the idea of being able to adjust height to the perfect look appeals to me! Been told about buying used...
anyone ever tried or thought of fitting a twingo engine into there mk2 dynamique?
Thinking as the engine + parts are pretty cheap and the mechanic work on my end will be free but wondering if its worth it?
Need a good tyre recommendation for my clio
Need something that will be a good performer all around. I dont want winter or hybrid just good tyres which can survive in rain. They need to grip well. I dont track my car so not fussed about track tyres.
I have seen Continental Sport Contact 3 and...
