clio

Hi all, I'm new to this forum having only purchased a RS 182 recently with my friend Gary. We're going to turn it into a track day toy. Made a little video of us going to buy it. Going to try to post videos of each step of the modifications we make. Neil.

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...

Hey guys, so I'm selling my 2004 182. 103,000 miles and has full service history, belts done again at 93,000 Niles there. So a mechanic for bmw came to view it last night and loved it but noticed this sound (see video) and said it was the alternator on its way out. Have a listen please and...

1.2 16v (2002) started out as a completely stock extreme model that i purchased for £120 crash damage (front bumper cracked due to previous owner driving into back of someone) i then purchased another crashed damaged clio (1.216v) that had the 182 parts on including the dual exhaust spax...

I have a 1.2 campus, its my first car and I've owned her for around a year and a half now. I've had fun 'modifying' her in preparation for the purchase of a 172 (hopefully!) I purchased the campus facelift bumper that I found at a breakers (see example bumper below) but because they never made...

Hi guys. I am the happy owner of a Renault Clio 2 Expression 2002 1.4 16V 4 doors. I am looking for information about removing the electric window system pf passenger's and driver´s side and installing a manual, it is not for weight reduction thing but simplicity and less headache because they...

Hi all First time poster and complete novice when it comes to cars other than driving one I'm clueless so please bear with me... I locked my 04 Clio today using the central locking but on the key and there was a terrible grinding noise, which I traced to the boot. Both doors lock fine but the...

Hi all just recently brought a 182 for a cheap track car/mid life crisis as my wife calls it, even tho my daily is an Pulsar Gti-R. Its has K-tec Exhaust, Ram Air panel Filter, so need a few more bits. Currently working in South Africa till Jan, so stacking up parts at my mates house.

Sadly the weather wasn't so good this year, and the roads were quite a bit busier than we'd experienced in previous years, but the turnout was better than ever! It's not everyday you see a Trophy on the roads so to see 18 of them travelling around Wales was quite... well, epic! :) Thanks to...

Hello everyone! I recently ordered a pair of h7 led headlight bulbs (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/371714456856), got a pair of h7 hid adapters as well, but now I'm clueless how they would fit together, i can't push through the actual bulb bit through the metal plate, and it doesn't sit flush...

welcome to this, rather ordinary, project thread. be aware, I like writing. I thought about this and immediately realized two things: 1) This thread is about a diesel clio, not a sport. 2) being this diesel clio my daily driver, you won't find any infos on welded roll cages, 4 pots calipers...

Just spotted this backing out of a driveway. Looked like a ph2 but could only see the rear. Not one of the usual 2 I see this way! Reg is pretty cool too!!

Hello - I have heard of people putting in a resistor on the plugs of certain senors to fool the engine and make the orange engine light on the dash go out , can this be done with the Lambda sensor (pre-cat/front)? if so what size resistor is needed and (there are 4wires to the Lambda - pretty...

Hi, I am trying to source the front clio 197 rubber bumper strip but can't find anyone who sells it. Will this be a Renault job?

Hi, Recently I have bought and fitted some OMP seats / subframes and fitted them to my clio 172. The only issue is that the driver seat is far too close for me (I'm 6'3). If I bought the OMP sliders would this allow the seat to go further back, or is the position they are in just now the...

Well well, where do I begin? I've now had two Clios that have done the same thing! I know this has been posted before but there are no decent pics of where people should be looking for the drain holes (although their not to difficult to find). I've taken a couple of pics of where the one in the...

Hey everyone, I am happy to be introduced in the Clio family after two hard years being in VW gang :laughing:. First time I fell in love with Clio 182 was a year ago after my friend asked if I wanted to drive his. My plan was to get the car at end of this year or start of next year but I went to...

So, two years after getting the Clio for my 17th birthday, quite a lot has changed. I'll do my best to post pictures as I go. But for now, ill only be covering the basics of what I have been up to. I only have one picture of my car before it was in my possession, so enjoy it! I also want to say...

So I picked up a 172 cup to be used as a track / weekend fun car. It runs great except right after a cold start it takes a couple of minutes before it's driveable as it stutters a lot when it's cold. It does have a decatted exhaust which I think may be part of the issue, is there any way to...

Hi could anyone help diagnose these codes by any chance? The only thing I've noticed with the car really is when I plant my foot to the floor and leave it there going through the gears once I get to around 70mph and still going the glow plugs light will come on and I'll get a lack of power for...

couple of things, looking at making the turbo coo... now ive been told the actuator is electronic? can anyone confirm? also would i be able to change the wastegate to a performance one to make it coo? also has anyone put a hybrid turbo on a 100? been told the fuel pump cant handle it, so would...

Hi everyone, First of all, I'm new to the forums so I don't know if this is the place I need to be, so forgive me if I'm in the wrong place. Now for a little bit of backstory. I'm currently driving a 2003 Renault Clio II Dynamique as my first car (I own it for 5 months now I think). Everything...

Currently own a Clio mk1 phase 3 RL Paris, and really not a fan of the grey plastic bumpers on the front and back. Found some bumpers (front and rear) from another Clio online, saying it'll fit 94-98 Clio's. Will it fit? Or is there a huge difference between the two? (ie, mine being a phase 3...

Hi Guys, The Clios been giving me a bit of a rough time recently, last couple of months i've been considering other cars of similar nature, but i've just replaced the Gearbox, Radiator and a set of injectors this month so i'm in this too deep now to just turf it out. What sorta things can i do...

So two weeks ago me and my girlfriend (Alex) bought a ph1 172 car with a full weld in roll cage by Custom Cages. We wanted it as a project to do over the summer break whilst off University and our intention is to have it as a track only car and maybe compete in it one day . The pics below show...
