I'm in the process of considering buying a new Clio as my phase 1 is getting tired tbh.
is it poss to swop the phase 1 front with a 182 or is it major pain ?
Thinking buy a bumped one might be a idea but clios don't seem to take front ends that well lol
Happened on motorway on way home from work, just popped out of gear the wouldnt go back in, slowed downand put in 4th and I can get it in 5th if I rev the car up when changing gear but it just pops out when I come off the gas, the engine is also very tired too if I'm honest so think its time for...
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/0803/gingerrscabrio/bfca55b4a442f8cd15d376562e5eadb6.jpgA few months ago I posted I had gearbox issues with my Clio, since then I filled with oil and no longer do motorway journeys with it so never had to worry about the 5th gear issue but someone told me about...
London, I'm thinking better the devil though this one is very High miles now, maybe a engine and gearbox in 1 hit maybe, thing isnthisnis my daily and my impreza is also off the road too :(
I just realised my membership no longer allows me to see the for sale section, just my luck,
Is there a few people with boxes for sale at the min on here, when I first got the Clio I joined and discovered not muh for sale as other sites
Whats the average price for a Clio gearbox and is there...
It's finally died totally, need to know options I can use other than the Clio options
Its a phase 1 172, I love the car but reality is its not worth spending loads of money on plus it needs a dephaser doin too
Where is any good Clio breakers kicking about, what would a engine and gearbox set...
Where is the breather on the Clio, is that the pipe ontbe throttle housing ?
I have a spare breather from a cossie so though I may as well fit it
Erm, where is the ports located as it's a tight engine bay and never done mods on itfor a while
I have a sealey obd scanner, not sure if it works on my phase 1 Clio but is spot on with the missus astra and sisters focus, reads the same fault codes as the techs snap on units at work Which I just google as I never seem to have the user manual , cost me 10 quid on eBay, resets codes too and...
Been told it's possible so I can fit a later gearbox but can't find anyone who has done it or if they have done a thread about it
Anyone here done the conversion ?
Anyone know of a cure ?
Mine is over revving, first was idle valve, that is now sorted (hint, get one from eurocarparts, you have to drill out the rivets and fine 2 small nuts and bolts but it's 25 quid with the vat and a genuine VDO as fitted)
Then the throttle is sticking, cleaned out...
When I changed my box on the impress to a lOnger box I noticed straight away the difference in fuel economy but that box was stupid high for the wheels and diff that you can't do 4th round town so sort of hoping the a little extra might help even if it shuts the car up as my exhaust is drony...
Not everyday Just enough to think of this option, I don't know the speed I'm currently doing as my speedo does not work but I'm going with the flow of traffic to gauge a fair assumption of speed, when the new bixgoes in and I have a speedo it's clear I won't break the law but I need a gearbox...
Depends who your with, I don't get charged to change reg number but I've been with them 6 years with 2 performance cars and never made a claim so they get enough out of me each year !!!
Not on English roads obv as that is not legal but when I drive through parts of Germany ect when I drive to Maastricht and kellberg and adenau oh and nurburg
Mot, v5 and dvla form, either post or Pop in local office and pay 80 quid, sometimes car wil be inspected and also if your car is wrote off or you sell the car you have to transfer BEFORE you sell/agree to pay out as the keeper on logbook is the person who owns the right to disPlay the plate...
I'm happy with the speed I'm doing vs time traveled, i could reduce the speed to 3500 and part throttle and have 45mpg with closed loop but I like leave later for work Nd get home in time for dinner
I'm more thinking longer 5th gear and sit at 3800 to 4300 and save fuel, thinking of saving the trees and antarctic blah blah
4k I'm my impress is just over 100mph and works well on motorways though crap playing
