Hi I have a clio 182 cup and one of the inner tie rods has some play in it when I give it a pull. When I grab the tyre at 3 and 9 o'clock positions and give it a wobble I can feel there is some play on that wheel too. I notice at motorway speeds that you need to correct the steering slightly...

Hi, new to the forum and was just wondering if anyone out there owns a Clio GT and how they've modified them (if at all) and what they like and dislike! I'm also looking for some coilovers, the mk3s look so much sportier but I can't find any for the GT's! Thanks!

Hey chaps, appreciate people are probably sick of seeing posts on this issue but I would be grateful for any help / advice.. I've had my Clio 200 at the dealer and it's confirmed 4th gear synchro problems as is always the case.. According to RUK because it is 'not a known/common issue' they...

Hi guys, Another problem again lol, well ive had it since day one but just not realised it I assume. Its a problem I've had with my coolant and overheating of the car in still traffic on hot days. The needle on my dash starts off normal and slowly rises to normal temp as the car warms up, but...

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...

So after introducing myself on the new members page, my first post is a big problem. I noticed I had a leak and after jacking the car up there is a crack in the steering rack gaiter on the passenger side. There's power steering fluid leaking out. I've topped up approx 0.5l of pas fluid in 24...

Well hello dear readers, I have a minor fault with the car as when I manually lock my Renault Clio 02 plate 1.2 only one of the door actually locks while the passanger's won't. i'm not really sure if its due to the battery or any other reasons as if anyone here knows please share your opinion.

Spotted you driving down upper Selsdon road in Croydon at around 3ish today!

Hi, I've bought a Renault Clio 2.0 16V -01 half a year ago. I need to find out which camshafts that are included in the F4R motor. The previous owner stated that, according to history, a "Rally"-Cam should be included. When doing a Cam belt shift and fixing some other stuff a good friend of...

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...

Just bought a stripped out Clio 172 '02 from my mate and having trouble starting it. It starts ok using a booster pack, which is how we got it on and off the transporter, but it wont start on its own. I don't know too much about the electronics side of things so bear with me please. I charged...

Hi Everyone, This maybe a extremely over asked question but, What is the best value for money Turbo package (Stage 1, 2 or 3) £2000 being the bottom mark and £5000 being the top. Reliability is key as personally when you part with such an amount of money, the last thing you want to do is spend...

Hi guys, I have owned a 1.2 2004 Clio for 13 months now. Ever since I got the car the water coolant runs out very quickly and i used to check it quite frequently and always top it up. I haven't really had any issues with the water levels at all, apart from filling it a lot. However recently i...

What are the best/decent tyres for a clio 182 cup for normal road use? I don't want to spend top money. I currently have 2 bridgestone potenzas with loads of tread left and 2 cheapo ones (a ninju and a nexan I think) with less tread so I want to put the new tyres on the front and relegate the...

Hi all, Recently fitted a modified shifter curtesy of @Ash-b-84 and it has been spot on until last night. I'd been driving it earlier in the day and it was fine, I get home, park it on my drive, come to get in it to go somewhere a few hours later and it won't go into reverse. When I pull the...

Thought i would put all the work and pictures into one Topic and as the car has been off the road for weeks and it has had a lot of issues sorted over the past 2/3 months. It was firstly sent away to Pro Tek (Bodyshop) to get the roof fixed after the original job was done badly. Going back 4...
