***How much is it worth?***

[Adamm.]

Looks a nice motor!

Cheers it's a lovely car just too small for lugging all the kids stuff about now. Been a great cheap runner though hopefully whatever replaces it can be the same.

Hi could anyone tell me how much a clio 172 yanoo shifter is worth with a snappy refurbished leather gear knob.
Thanks 👍

 

[MarcB]

So im going to possibly looking to sell my Clio 197 F1 in LY but unsure of what I would potentially be asking for.

Re-trimmed seats
V6 Gear Knob
Yellow Seat Belts
Yellow Speedo
Yellow Rear Seats
Painted Dash Trims

Front RS Splitter
Painted Door Handles
Painted Wing Mirrors
197 Projector Head Lights
Rear 200 Diffuser
Speedlines 7.5J

Clio 200 Exhaust System

Its getting the following done in the next month -

Timing Belt Kit
Dephaser
Aux Belt
Water Pump
Spark Plugs
Coil Packs
Oil Filter
Pollen Filter

There is also a shed load of parts from hubs, Ball joints, Steering Wheel, Gear Knob, Bottom arms, Headlights, Exhaust Trims (Carbon & Standard), Rear Calipers (For Exchange Rebuild) And there is prob a lot more that I have forgot about.

I have many many invoices and once again 1000s of images of work carried out all by a genuine Renault specialist using 99% of Genuine Renault Parts

Some images but they are from May 2025

A friend has a clio sport on her drive which has been unused for about a year after it developed a phantom battery drain. It needs to go but I'm not sure exactly what it is or its value. Running fine and in daily use before this fault. A few mechanics looked but said it needs an car electrician to find the fault. Minor dent to one side as pictured which might pop out. Needs minor tidying but looks original and complete. Reccaro seats but minor mold on the inside.
Any idea what its worth as either a potentially easy project to go back on the road or as the base for a track car? Thanks

 

[imprezaworks]

Minor dent?

 

[Sandy Crevice]

Minor dent?

Is that a question as you cannot see the dent or questioning my description of the dent?

 

[imprezaworks]

The latter. Great cars so hopefully it gets saved.

You’re going to need a load more information before any gives you an indication of value…things like:
1) Mileage
2) history, when were the belts last done
3) MOT
4) Recaro condition, these suffer with bolster wear
5) Any modifications etc

As for the ‘minor’ dent, what’s the blue at the bottom of the panel? Has it already had a replacement wing in the past? Looks like blue paint. That dent won’t pop out without some remedial pain work in my experience.

It’ll be the alternator. For some reason they s**t themselves and start drawing a voltage. Not sure why - a couple of people have suggested it starts thinking they are a motor and draw a current to spin themselves.

The easy test is to disconnect it and see if it still has the voltage drain.

I’ve had 2 alternators go that way.

Aside from that it just looks rough. If that dent is your idea of minor I’d hate so see a serious one 🤣

 

[Sandy Crevice]

Last mot was passed may 2024. Milage 110,000. No idea about service history. Don't think its been modified in any way. Didn't look too closely at the seats, I hadn't realised it was unlocked until I was about to leave. I was there to move a tv and fix a kitchen cupboard.
I'd assumed the dent was at knee height and the sill trim had come loose but looking again it does look like the trim is loose due to damage lower down thats why its loose. I think the blue is the plastic clips that hold the trim on. Its not from a heavy impact. It looks more like catching a bollard while parking.

I'd read it might be the alternator but I'm not getting too involved in fixing this. Its owned by a now retired dinner lady who has bought another car with zero interest in a clio project. Its just pointless leaving it sitting on her drive hence the question on here.

Usually the rectifier diodes which convert the current from AC to DC, when they go bad they act like a two way valve and allow current to back draw.

Can actually see some big amp draws with a thermal camera.

Yeah, that's the right explanation rather than my shitty attempt 🤣

I’m thinking about converting my 182 back to N/A meaning I’d sell the engine, turbo kit etc but no idea what it’s worth.

Engine was built by @GrahamS and Alex at Awmotorworks back in 2020.
ED turbo kit with Garrett GT2560R turbo.
13 row mocal oil cooler.
Engine Machined and rebuilt from a 23k mile block and perfect condition cylinder head
Decked and honed so standard bore size
Drilled for 3/8npt turbo oil drain fitting
Genuine Renault bearings throughout
ARP rod bolts
Hastings piston rings
197 valve springs
Megane 225 headgasket
Megane keywayed crank pulley
New dampened pulley
Supertech intake and inconel exhaust valves
Freshly cut valve seats
Genuine valve stem seals
All genuine Renault gaskets
Vapour blasted sump/cambelt cover/engine mount/ thermostat housing/cam cover
Genuine water pump
Pierberg oil pump
NGK BCR8ES spark plugs
I fitted a new Cambelt kit in January this year.
I reckon it’s done around 3k miles if that in 6 years.
Runs a Gen90 that I would sell with it. It would literally be a drop in and fire up solution for someone.
I could even sell a rebuilt gearbox with a gripper for £1850 along with it.

What do people think it is worth?

 

[MAXRUNDOWN]

Standard head, cams, pistons and rods?

Maybe £1k for the long block if it's cosmetically nice too, £800 for the turbo kit and £600 for the ECU

 

[Flob]

Id say more for the engine less for the ECU but same total

 

[colesy]

That’s good to know, in my head I was at £2.5k the lot or £4k inc the gearbox.
It is standard pistons and rods. Made 248hp when mapped. I’d also sell it dressed with the cup alternator setup and loom so you could throw it in. If bought with the gearbox would also come with the RTS turbo clutch and lightened flywheel.

If going back to standard I’d be tempted just to swap the Meg gasket and use the rebuilt engine. Easy enough just to bung the hole for the oil return and better than going off to buy a new unknown engine.

I agree, but in this case I have the engine out of my race car which i have built and used, it’s also the engine out of this car originally.

 

[GrahamS]

that engine was built fully OCD as a OEM+ no expense spared job. They're supertech valves and 197 valve springs shimmed at the supertech valves are a touch longer. Head otherwise standard. Took a long time to source a good one.
Block was unbeliavably good compared to the usual crap out there.

 

[npt]

4k for everything ready to drop in is decent I'd say with minimal hassle

I’ve advertised it for £2800 and £1750 for the box but obviously I’m open to offers

 

[Yarp]

Fair play then!

If you split I’ll take the ECU. I could probably do with more power than I can run on the EFI boost control module and standard ecu.

Cool, I’ll see how it goes and bare that in mind 👌🏻

Hello All,

We are now expecting a baby so I doubt I will get much use out of this post summer. Wanted to post it to the hive mind here on a value before listing it. I have a track day at Donington booked for start of May then likely list for sale so someone can enjoy it over the summer. Its got a lot of really nice bits on it and is a well sorted car but the due belts and bodywork let it down.

I am thinking the following:

- £5,000 including everything (£4,500 for someone here)
- £4,000 without the seats (buyer to bring their own, will keep the mounts) or spare 2 turinis

Clio 182, 97,800miles

I bought it last year and spent a lot getting some of its niggles sorted. Passed MOT February with no advisories. Just back from croft where it did 200 miles on track with no issues at all and goes really well. EFI parts tuned it and it made 189hp with dyne print out.

Bad Bits

- Cambelt is due on age (it’s only done 4800 miles since it was changed 2021)
- it was apparently repainted but unless stevie wonder did it, i dont buy that, theres lacquer peel on a couple of places and on the carbon bits
- rear sill and floor pan was welded last year (it was rough) and it hasn’t been prepped and painted
- airbag light was coded out but its come back on after i had the UCH out
