Clio 1.2 - Few questions

[gaz_360]

Hi

A mate suggested I signed up to this forum after buying my clio, this is my first post, I think its in the right section, sorry if its not :S

I bought my clio yesturday as my first car, and im really chuffed with it. I thought i'd give it a good clean and service before I start driving in it. So today did all the usual things, oil, filters etc, however im a little puzzled when it comes to the power steering. I was going to replace the fluid, but couldn't find the reservoir, so ive assumed its electronically assisted? If some one could please confirm that, that would be brill .

Ive also ran into a bit of a problem with the spark plugs. After removing the HT leads, I tried to fit the socket down into the housing where the plug is, but the socket is too big to fit, but the socket is the correct size for the type of plug. Im guessing renault maybe use a specialist tool for them, does anyone know?

Its a 2002 52 Renault Clio 1.2 16V Expression.

Thanks

Gaz

Yes it's electrical on the 1.2's.

As for spark plugs I'm pretty sure they use an 8mm socket fo remove them.

Just got it sorted, turned out they were 14mm, just needed a deepset socket to reach down inside
