Hi all, Having recently sold my MK2.5 MX-5 I was on the verge of swapping to a 135i for another fast-ish road car. At the last second though, I had a change of heart and decided to propose buying an older hot hatch and converting it into a rallycross car to race in the amateur league next...

Soooo, i have a mk3 and im wanting a sunstrip since the visors are b****cks.. looking at a 6" strip, wipers will undoubtedly wipe over it.. Anyone here with a mk3 run shorter wipers with a sunstrip? Looking to see whats the best size to get 😁

I’ve been stripping out my daily (1.2 mk2) and trying to get the mpg up for a while now. I’ve been considering grp doors, bonnet and tailgate but I’m a bit concerned about the mot verdict. The mot test manual has no reference to fibreglass, or any specific materials but I can almist here the...

Hi everyone, I ordered a full left side headlight for a clio 197 second hand off ebay as my current one the ballast and bulb isn't working, the replacement works but the lens unit is detached from the light (wont re attach) so it wobbles/not balanced and wont pass an mot. Does anyone know where...

Right I have a clio gt 2009 1.6 and was wondering if the clio tce 1.2 turbo would bolt straight in, I know about bigger injecters and that but I want to know if the manifold and the engines are the same, if anyone can help I will be very happy

Hi, I have decided to bight the bullet and buy a clio and need some help! I have decided to go for a 182 if i can find one in budget. Never owning a clio i have no idea what to look for and what to avoid? So anything i should know? Also i am going to use it occasionally on the road and on...

My mk3 clio 200 has a Scorpion cat-back exhaust, however I am getting an engine light for the post cat lambda sensor. I have bought a Bosch replacement althought the current sensor is fused into the cat and we are unable to remove, if we were to do so it would twist and possibly snap the housing...

Looking at buying a Clio tce and found one but it's saying it's misfiring in neutral? Is this something which can easily be resolved or is it just going to be easier to look at a different car? This is the link : Haven't found anything close to this cheap for a similar spec but that does make...

Hi guys, I’m based in Australia and got myself an rs 172 about a year ago. It had had a couple of owners and service history showed a water pump change, accessory belt change and a few bits and pieces. I drove her for about 10,000 km but nothing in anger. I became worried about the unknown...

So after a year of ownership I’ve made a few changes here and there and with my old thread images breaking i thought id start a fresh. So this is my Clio 197 Lux, judging by the how many left site theres only around 20 of these left on the road. You probably know the differences in these...

I’m putting my clio tce through its paces pretty soon. Pushing for power with new turbo, injectors etc. I know I’m going to be needing a new, uprated clutch to deal with the new ‘neck breaking’ power. I have only been able to find a clutch for the Twingo GT and knowing they have the same engines...

My 2003 Clio 1.4 16v is running lumpy at idle and offbeat throughout the rev range when warm. When cold, she runs fine. Presumably the ECU is running a closed loop circuit when cold and rich. A short video below shows how she runs when warm: There is no smell of fuel or smoke from the...

Wasn't really looking for a car to buy, but when i came across this for low money i had to react. Soo ph quick, 1st owner, 74k miles. Car was bought by a guy that passed it on to his daugher when she got her driving licence. Was waay under priced. Except two white lines, everything is oem, i've...

You I have a 1,2 16v 2002 Clio. I have taken the valve cover off with the intake and all the wiring. Plugged everything back in and now my car only works a few secs with the electrical light on and dies when the light goes out followed by a ticking noise under the left headlight. I have the code...

I have a Non sport mk3 Clio Bizu and I want to swap the steering wheel. Looking to see if the 197 wheel would bolt straight on or not? Also, I was looking at an OMP wheel with a quick release kit, how legal are they and how do I get passed an MOT without an airbag? Appreciate any help with...

Hi, this is my first post. I own a RenaultSport Clio 182 55 plate in black gold. it has under 70k on the clock and is well looked after. I live in Hull, just off willerby road. I have had my Clio for around 4 years now and up to now, nothing has really gone wrong. I have mainly maintained it...

Hi all, recently my 172 has developed an issue around the timing belt area it sounds like a metal scraping noise kind of like a bearing has gone don't believe it is the dephaser but was just wondering if this has happened to anyone else? The timing belt and water pump were done 2 years ago by...

Thinking of getting this exhaust as it’s cheap but the owner doesn’t know the brand. Looks a bit like a miltek but not sure. Don’t want to buy any unbranded junk thanks!

Hello, I have 2005 Clio 2 and the passenger seat has become extremely stiff to move backwards and forwards both on the adjustment and when you tilt the seat to get into the back. I noticed this after my mate was bouncing around in the seat the other day but am not sure if this is related or...

Hi guys I have a Renault clio III 1.6 16v, it's way overdue for a timing belt change (at 130 000km/80 000miles now) I have purchased a new timing belt and tensioner, do I need to replace the water pump as well ? And is there anything else I need to purchase ? Any additional information will be...

I and a friend just picked up a 182 for very cheap as we know the guy who owns a couple of them! Body work isn't in perfect shape, dent on the bonnet and a few scrapes but it's pretty much track ready! Coilovers, decat with a map to suit, a nice intake. The previous owner said it was originally...

So i just turned 17 in July and passed my test last month. I currently am driving a Clio 1.2 16v Campus and the insurance is already a killer. I was looking at getting a 1*2 and potentially getting it towed but that was so much money and insuring and driving it there was even worse. Just looking...

Hello All, Nearly completed stripping a 182 to turn it into a track car so been discussing what to do with the roll cage. So would be great to hear peoples thoughts and ideas to make a better roll cage. Ideally would want to have a Custom Cages multipoint weld in cage (like below) but without...

Hello you lot! I have owner the car for a few months now and thought i'd say hi. Bought the car with the intention that i'd try to keep it low mileage and pass it onto my 4yo son when grows up. Hopefully by this time the prices have gone up. My mate has a R5 GTT and was going to scrap it 10...

Hi All, After losing control on a slippery road I managed to hit the nearside (passenger side) on a large wooden fence post, there was a large amount of cosmetic damage however my one fear and worry is my left (passenger) wheel. The wheel is now significantly pushed back (just misses hitting the...

Moved to Northern Ireland from Birmingham in May and have noticed there is a substantial scene for modifying cars. So it surprises me that there’s no meet ups from here. Don’t know if it’s because people are too busy living that lowered diesel life and there’s not a big clio scene out here...
