1.2

This forum seems to not cater for the owners of regular models and leans heavily, if not somewhat exclusively for 172/182/192/rs200 owners. Can any recommend a good forum for owners of the regular models?

Hello all , This is my first car and my first project , i managed to pick this up for 650GBP in august 2021 with a fresh MOT, 82,500 miles and at the time completely stock , based on its mot history having a sun strip i gathered at some point it may have been considering im also the 8th owner...

Hello , I bought my 1.2 16v bone stock in august 2021 and around may 2022 has a mid/rear catback exhaust installed , after some time it has decided to give itself some small pops with the occasional bigger bang which can be audibly heard.(the car on occasion may also give off almost an egg...

There's quite a few threads already but most of them seem to be from a couple years back now unfortunately. I was looking to see where I can get a good exhaust that's a bit more free flowing for the TCE.

Sorry to be that guy to make another lowering spring thread but I'm torn between the prolines and sportlines for my 1.2. If anyone has any experience with either of the two or any photos of how the car sits with them then that would be really appreciated 🙂

As per the title, ive got a 2011 Clio and im needing a new clutch, this one has started to slip after 70k miles! Wondering whats involved, subframe drop? Full removal for the gearbox? Best oils to use? Any tips are appreciated 🤙

Ever since I bought my 1.2 it's had this creak/squeak from the steering, especially at low speeds. It's finally gotten to me so I've had a look and it appears to be coming from somewhere on the rack, possibly around where it comes through the bulkhead. I attached a video and any ideas or advice...

Drove my Clio to work earlier and parked it up outside. Got back in it after finishing work and noticed a strange clonking noise coming from the engine bay. Checked it out but couldn't see anything so decided to drive home carefully. I put it in gear and went to move forwards to find that I...

I have recently purchased 260mm brake discs from the advice of a thread here, turns out my 1.2 peasent spec have 238mm discs installed. (I should have believed the auto part sites). I can always sell the discs on but then that got me wondering... How much work would it require to fit these...

Car: 2005 Clio 16v Mk2 I've had the Stop and battery warning lights illuminate when turning the ignition on consistently since I first took it for a run on the motorway. The car was sat on a driveway for 6 months before I bought it and only did short trips before then. The battery measures...

So as my first car i got myself a mk2 1.2 , it was completely stock , well it still is kinda. No the fastest car , but the fastest i've ever driven 😂 One of the first mods (I already had them before buying the car) , was the w5w rgb bulbs . I know the car is super dirty this...

NEWBIE! I figured i would create a thread on my first ever car. I bought a 1.2 Clio MK3 in august 2017 3 days after i passed :grimacing: with 50k miles, unfortunately it is the only thing i can really get insured on for a first timer but here we are. After i passed back in August I decided...

I'm a bit of a novice with cars, but it's what I love and I'm still learning so please forgive my idiocy I'm wondering if, on my MK2 Clio, I could replace the rear shock absorber and spring set up with coilovers? I know coilovers can be fitted to the front, but so far all I can see online is of...

Thought I'd start a project thread to show the progress on tidying up Black Phillip (my little 1.2). This will be done on a budget as I have other commitments requiring most of my money so I'll be looking to start making small changes and improvements to do three things; 1) keep it running well...

Hi...thought i would post this solution on here as despite pleas for help on the renault and RAC forums (with no replies) the best advice/guidelines came from searching this forum. 1.2 16v 2004 clio Fault was... Turn ignition on, fuel pump relay clicks 5/6 times, fuel pump doesn't prime, engine...

First of all, let me just say that I love this car, although it is a pain in the a**. Just to give you a bit of background, I bought my 2009 Clio (the 1.2 TCE model) back in March, with 31,000 miles on the clock. The check engine light came on the day after I bought it but went out as I was...

New to this all... so apologies in advanced if i put anything in the wrong place, no pun intended ;) Looking to colour code the black trim pieces of my Clio, does anyone know what colour it would be? The label has rubbed off. :( Included some pictures to help..

Hi guys! Just wondering if anyone could help me or give me a little advice. Would a mk4 clio steering wheel fit in a mk3 clio? Have seen a few cheap mk4 steerings and would benefit from a leather one instead of the crappy mk3-non leather steering. TIA!

This is my first car, I will slowly be improving it as time goes by, I understand not everyone likes the stickers but its how the car came and to be honest I like them. Also I know nothing really relating to doing stuff so give me a chance ;) i am also aware its not a sport just a b**ch to take...

Posting on behalf of a mate who recently got his first car (clio mk2 1.2 16v) hes fitted some alloys and a straight through hoffman exhuast and now he wants to lower it because the arch gap is huge, his question is where do you recomend buying springs/coilovers on a budget? Hes not looking to...

Looking at buying a 1.2/1.4 clio mk3 and want to change the exhaust. I am not concerned about perforance just the noise. I have searched for after market perforance exhaust and have struggled to find anything. There are plenty of exhausts for RS and 197 but I was hoping someone would be able to...

I installed some new cool white sidelights into my 2003 Clio a week ago. All was working well, but now, the front right has gone out, along with the rear right. I'm guessing a fuse? Where is this located? Under the bonnet, or in the dash? Also, why would these new lights have blown a fuse?

Hi all, new to forum, looking for some advice. I own a Clio mk3.5 1.2 TCE 100. I like the engine, it's nice and revvy for a turbo car, but seems lack throttle response. I'm thinking of getting a remap done, but I've heard doing this on the standard injectors will result in little/no power gains...

Just been to start it up and nothing :L Starter is turning the engine over and I can hear the fuel pump priming, also I've plugged in the OBD reader and there's no codes being thrown up so i'm assuming it's not the coils (though I haven't pulled the plugs). The only thing I can see from the data...

Bought this Clio < 3 weeks ago. Really wanted a sport but can't get insured, so I'm going to modify my 1.2 to my taste :) When I bought it, it had 13" steels with broken ghastly wheel trims. First thing I did was buy some trims, made it look 10x better. I also put some fli coaxial door...

I have just bought my second Clio. a 2003 1.2 Extreme. I would like to get a 172 kit on it. Do all phase 2 Clio's have plastic wings? This one has them, it also has clear side repeaters., I have a suspicion it may already have 172 wings on it?Do they look like 172 wings? Anyhow, I would like to...

Hi, new to the forum, first post, I have a 5dr 1.2 Tce 100bhp Mk3 facelift, and was thinking of upgrading front and back speakers with Pioneer TS-R1350S (13cm), and was wondering whether anyone has fitted these or anything similar before and could tell me if these are the right size, if they are...

hi how often do you change a cam belt on a 1.2 16v :) Thanks

if buying a set second hand are the Centres all the same? Thanks

Just wondering if springs or coilovers from a 172/182 would fit on a (2001) 1.2 16v? Just wondering as it could save me money before I go buy a brand new set. Thanks in advance.
