Once it goes over 4K its like it hits a wall, or there is no more fuel coming though or power allowed thru (cat??)? It pulls fine until juts over 4K Any ideas, I have changed the coil pack and leads, and there is no engine management light? knock?/lamda sensors? Cheers

After playing chase the donk noise, replaced ball joints, then put on solid top mounts the next weakest leak in the chain (gearbox mount) appears to have shown its hand on acceleration or braking. I took out the battery, and first noticed the back bolt on the tray (to the chassis) was loose, so...

Its on a cup.. so its a std light. The left light has gone, so i have purchased a replacement.. But this doesn't work. The sidelight still works (and that looks to come out the same block) And all the other lights are the car are fine. The light works in the other light :) Later I will test...

Where the cheapest place to get FERODO DS2500 at the mo? and Anyone tried Hankook RS2 for track work? Also.... It it worth just getting track tyres for the fronts, and sticking with the standard PE2 on the rear.. I have seen quite a few people do this on other cars?

In a white clio (cup)? with black wheels the new shape giving it full beans towards Priston (just out side of Bath) on say night about 7-8pm. You were defiantly on it...

Need some help. I got some new dampers from Icarus, who sent them very quickly and they are all good (thanks for that), however when i went to change them over the rubber bungs and the wee metal pipe are 17mm wide, where are the new shocks need 19mm wide bits. Icarus said i can get the parts...

Some facts: Im pressing on when this happens. Just had the tracking done. All the bushes and springs/dampers are fine (I got them checked) right tyre pressures, and all new PE-2's If I turn to the right, then all is fine, the car digs in well and grips like it should. If I turn to the LEFT...

Now i know there is not right or wrong, just after different view points. I have started to get back into track days, used to take the Honda s2000, but now taking the cup. Now I know (more marketing than anything) the cup is a more track based car. However how much difference really would...

Odd one this. (cup 172) This only happens if the car has been parked for a few hours. If i pull out a carpark space on pretty much full lock to the right its like the stearing rack is slipping, as if the wheels are jerking a couple of times, and a odd clicking/clonking noise. Its really...

I cannot find a guide on removing the dash (to replace the clock lights), most of the guides in the Guides section reference a webpage Fubar? that doesn't exist (even in google cache) anymore? Cheers.

back box just fell off.. quite loud now, wheres the cheapest place to get a new rear section (on the web??) Cheers

As usual the rear shock is leaking. Second Clio, second car.. I thought it felt a bit odd on some bends. Is this a standard 172/182 shock, or a special cup shock? Cheers

Well the clio goes in today to get repaired after some tool decided to park in her when i was in Tescos. Looks like i can get away without having to cut the whole back panel off (phew) and they can knock it out. .I just didn;t like the idea of ripping her completely to bits. So...

I previouly had a Honda s2000, and setting up the geomety (not the tracking) was critial to the cars handling.. A simple tracking setup would not suffice to get the correct setup. What is the correct setup (maybe for different applications, road, track) for a phII clio cup? Cheers

My X plate gearbox has just given up the goose. .so going to get a new car this weekend (need it for work asap) . I don;t want to pay a garage 1K+ to fix it. I can change the box myself.. Yep, will take time (to get the right box and fit it), but this not an issue. However, should I sell it...

Anyone got some instructions on how to take out the gear box.. As mine just imploded :(

ie. will this item (04 cup) http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=290239768808&_trksid=p2759.l1259 fit my X plate phase one (that currently has a busted rear spring)? cheers

I think it is.. I have the following symptons: (X plate phase 1 clio sport) When warm (not cold) there is a metallic fan type noise between 2-3K with a smaller grindy noise behind it. It pulls fine in all gears. 3rd has popped out a couple of times since the noise started. 1st and fifth...

Just a quick question. I am replacing the Abs ring on the front offside wheel, And i need to get the hub off.. Is there a locking mech, or i just need to get a large bar and jump on it (anti clockwise) while the car is on the ground to loosen it up? and what do i tourque it back to after...

The last few days i have been going (no choice) though a deep puddle on the way to work. All fine. Popped out at lunch and the car was struggling thru the rev race >2.5/3K then would clean up and run ok (but not pulling 100%), not the emmissions light has popped on. But the amusing thing is...

As its summer i have decided to take my clio 172 ph1 on the track, Like i used to take my s2000 before the baby arrived and i had to sell it :( However, i want to first upgrade the suspension, as i think its shagged, the car slighty leans to the left (more gap between wheel and wheel arch on...

does anyone have a fuse diagram for a X 172. or know why my blacklight has gone? i can see oil ok, on the trip, but the oil+stop is on .. *sigh* some times the stop is off, and the oil light is just very dim? also how do i get at the intrument cluster to check the connections

Need to put a new box on teh clio.. Anyone got any step by step pics, Things to watch out for, and or a manual. What seals will i need to by? and its there any best practices.. Im assume i don;t need the engine out.. just got to take of the wheels and drive shafts, support the engine, (gearbox...

Hi... 172 on a x. erm.. my car sounds likes its misfiring and is not smooth up the rev range, also the engine mangement light is flashing and there is a eggy smell from the cat. I have also noticed unburnt petrol leaking from an exsulst gasket. (after the cat). Do i need to replace teh coil...

the knocking noise on my X 172 is not the engine mounts.. its the diff in the gearbox (according to the garage) They say new gearbox + fitting = 1.5K Now options: Second hand gearbox and get non Renault to put it on ... costs? Can I get a garage to fix the issue in the gearbox? Where can i get...

172 on a X Following from my post yesterday I had a look under the car last night. The clunking noise doesn't happen when the car is on stands (No resistence against the road i suspect causing the engine to move). The top mount looks fine.. this is the gearbox one? Does it look right to you...

Hi.. I have had my car for a while now a x 172, and its just started to clunk when i go on/off the throttle in most gears. It seems linked to the gearbox linkage into the gearbox, there is also a small bit of oil dripping off the rubber bit that connects the gearstick to the box? It only...
