Has anybody fitted these to their car them self's?
If so i was wondering if i could ask a few questions
Do i need spring compressors,
Are they hard to do,
And roughly what would i need to do them my self.
The car had been sat on the drive for a couple of months, waiting to sell. I went to start it up to take it for an MOT and it wouldn't start. I assumed the battery had lost its charge or just gone so I replaced it with a new one. Trialled starting it up and it started fine.
A few days later I...
Got a few ideas in mind to clean my clio up abit. Was thinking of putting 182 16"alloys on, colour coding, air filter (for that tiny bit of mpg), cool overs, slight window tints. Was just wondering if anyone knows why the best kit to get for the car is? Got abit of cash to spend!
Got my first car from my cousin a big standard 16v 1.2 just had it serviced and got cam accessory belts changed and water pump, once getting the car noticed central locking didn't work on the key fob. Took the fob apart and there's no battery at all, so not a clue to see if it's still coded with...
Hi all!
I used to be on here fairly regularly when I had a Williams engined track Mk1 16v aswell as a host of other hot hatches (inc 2/3 standard Williams, Lupo GTi, 205 GTi etc) I then went to an E46 M3 and now have gone back to my clio roots and just purchased a 182 off Jongsr4.
Hi all, thanks in advance for your help.
I have a 2001 1.2 16v Clio which has a Prinns LPG conversion. It runs okay on both petrol and LPG, I think it is a bit down on power top end when on petrol, but fine on LPG. However it only returns 30mpg. Doesn't matter if I am doing 70mph on the...
Past couple of days my 1.2 16v has cut of twice just as I start the car up the idle will settle then cut out.
the car dos seem very very slightly jumpy during acceleration, hardly noticeable but could be linked?
When I fitted my coilovers I also bought some of the Eibach camber bolts for the front struts. When I went to fit them they were a little too big. The diameter of the bolt was 14mm and is supposedly made for the car. Can't find anything about this online but any help would be great!
Cheers

Hi all,
Name's Tom and I am now the proud owner of a funky looking (apparently) limited edition W-reg Clio.
Had a bit of a disaster on the M62 on the 22nd of December while out delivering Xmas cards. Some severe weather the likes of which you've never seen blew in and I aqua-planed into the...
So I've recently bought the car (Renault Clio 1.2 16V Dynamique), most of the time it takes more than one try to get the car started, it tries to start and the start motor is working but just doesn't spark until the second time trying or sometimes up to 5 times.
I changed the spark plugs...

Hi all,
I'm currently trying to fix a problem with the central locking on the front passenger door of my 2002 Clio Expression 1.2 16v. The door locks/unlocks fine using the key manually, but when using the central locking via the key fob, the door used to only lock/unlock approximately 50%...
I purchased a 2002 clio 1.2 16v tonight and I'm having issues.
i started the car and went to reeves it but it stalled as the rear brakes were jammed from standing for a few weeks.
so I put the car in reverse and turned the starter which jolted the car back and free'd off the rear brakes.
the car...

Been noticing a few little problems with the temperature in my car lately, It never seems to want to heat up.. After a 52 mile drive the temp gauge was reading about 2 bars below where it should be and it is also using a lot of water / coolant. I don't know if it would be related in any way or...
Curious to know. The car isn't exactly the fastest on acceleration and a snail could probably hit 60 quicker but has anyone ever clocked their 0-60 time?
Hi all, right i have some more issues with my project but as need it as a daily at the same time, i took the gay ott air filter and bodged exhaust off for standard items now i have problems with idle/running, have just plugged in the code reader and it comes up with 3 codes which are:

Hi all just wondering besides buying the ktec 182 exhaust for the 1.2 is the anyway in can just use a standard 182 back box and adapt it/custom it with a bit of chopping/welding lol
Made a little progress onto my new car lately, got myself a 3/4 plate, aero wipers, xenon bulbs and most importantly my Turini's! thanks to 'scottty4eva'. not looking much for now but slowly going to start getting somewhere with it, definatly needs lowering though.
Hi,

Hi guys,
other half's Punto is about to blow up! Shes in the process of deciding what new car she wants to get (potentially 1 series). However, as she is undecided i need to find something that is going to be reliable for over the next few months untill she decides.
I was looking at a mk2...
Hi,
My mk2 1.2 16v Dynamique keeps 'hunting' and the revs keep going up and down by themselves, and on it's way down it nearly comes to a stall, and then goes back up again. On my home from work it did this twice and stalled twice, and I have to blip the throttle to get it from stalling and...
