Hey guys. I have some things wrong with the clio and would like to plug it into the renault diagnostics. I have gone to renault and tried but it can read anything. They say it is because of one of two reasons.. 1. An airbag deployed a while back so the airbag module has a fault on it and...

Hey guys. I have a 2001 ph1 172 and as of yesterday I have a new problem that scares me quite a bit. Over the last few weeks now and again while driving, it has been having immediate losses of power, almost like when you have a ht lead or sparkplug problem, but its not quite the same, as I have...

Had mine for about two years now, and they are in pretty good nic, no signs of rust yet, tho I just tried to adjust them, and they are pretty stiff. I remember when they were fitted that the guys did not put the protection spray on, and I seem to have lost it. Is there anything that works...

Found these guys on the bay, and they say they will post to South Africa, which is a bonus. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=150548162590&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT#ht_864wt_1141 Had a trackday a while back and went over a rumble strip sideways, which pulled my front left off...

Hey all, here are the final pics from a shoot I did over the weekend. Comments and crits welcome please: :D

Hey all, a few of the clios got together on sunday here in Cape Town for a shoot on the cable way drive and just opened them up and was pleasantly surprised how they came out uneditied. Anyway, its going to take a while to edit them all, so thought I would post a few unedited shots for...

Hey guys, looks like I am going to need a new one of these. Renault here are asking for +- £230 and a 21 day wait to get it from france. I dont have the option of using the scrappers as there are about 20 of these cars in the country. If anyone can organise or even tell me where I can...

So I've been having issues with my idle, and cant get a clip working, so went with a few people recommendations and got a new ICV. The two look almost identical, but the new one has a blue ring on the front and the old one has a slanted green one. All the numbers on the plastic everywhere are...

anyone have it? is it: 8200048850?

busy with it on my ph1, gone through the grades of paper, and even did one at 1500 grit, and I cant seem to get my finish right after using the Megs Scratch X, even bought the plastic Megs Scratch X, still seems very dull!!

I seemed to have solved my misfire and power issues after cleaning the TB and helicoiling the stripped intake mani bolts, but my idle issues have gotten worse. So the issue is that at startup it just wants to die, but is ok once warm. When warm and driving around, the new idle position isnt at...

Hey all, what is the gap meant to be?

hey guys. is there meant to be a gasket between the throttle body and the intake mani? just took mine off to clean it and, it is dirty, but it also seems to have been sealed using white silicon!!??! here some pics: looks like there is a gasket of some...

Hey guys. If looking front on at the manifold, the back two bold on mine are pretty stripped, they bite a little bit, but are pretty stripped... one more session of taking them out and in will be the end of the tread. Is this a bad thing or is it still ok seeing as the front three are still...

Hey all, guess I'm another one suffering from this. Its doing my nutt in. So let me give a very brief rundown on the history of my problem. Bought the car at 37000miles, belts and everything were changed At first service, mechanic broke the knock sensor, didnt say anything, and when...

On a sensor mission today. With regards to cleaning a sensor, namely the idle controll and the speedo, is it best to clean it with a cleaner that just strips off the dirt, or to use something like a switch cleaner, that cleans and lubricates?

This is doing my head in. Its faulty, and I'm trying to get it out to clean or replace it, and it wont budge at all. I can slightly turn it, about an 8th of a turn, very minimal, but it wont budge. Its on the gearbox. Is it a turn and pull mission or just pull it straight out or are there...

Hey guys, There is a mech that I meat that said he can get the rubbers for my mounts made up and replaced instead of buying new mounts from the dealers. Works out to be a hell of a lot cheaper. Woud anyone of you guys do this or trust it? At the moment its just the top engine mount thats...

Well, decided to have a go at wrapping my roof black. Tried both gloss and matt and completley balls both of them up. managed to put my hand right through the GRAFITYP and tore the Avery one. I recon they are cheap poor quality vinyls, anyone used them before?

So I'm a little bit bored and want to give this a go myself, but cant decide on if I should go matt or gloss for my roof and cup spoiler.. here are some recentish pics of my car: I'm leaning a little bit more towards gloss, as all the paint on the car is gloss already, but matt...

So I need two new front tires for my ph1 and spent the whole day getting quotes, and these are pretty much all the options I have. If you know of any that are terrible or really good please let me know. pirelli p7 conti-premium-2 bridgestone adrenaline hankook ventus v12 evo yokohama...

I thought a jailbreak was meant to allow the use of other sims, but if I put my South African sim in, I get some wierd stuff in a language that I really dont understand. See grabs... anyone able to help? ps. This sim used to work in my old iphone 3gs on O2 before. I had it unlocked...

I would like to get a set for my ph1, but not sure which compound to get. there are these which seem to be the std ones: http://www.kamracing.co.uk/index.php/powerflex-dogbone-engine-mount-renault-clio-mk2-2-0-rs-172-phase-1.html and these which are a harder compound...

Thinking about giving this a go myself, in very small stages. Done some wrapping before, so it should be a good learning experience. Big problem area I thought of tho is the front bumper. Is it possible to wrap on the air vents in the front?? Seems to me it would be near impossible to do a...

Not sure which one to get.. have a feeling the trophy one might be a bit OTT on a ph1. What do you guys think?

Ok.. before everyone slates the crap out of the unichip, I have on on my ph1 172, its been really good to me, has given me decent gains, and provided better results than the rstuning maps provided to a few of the clio's back home in SA, for half the price.. So I know people on there think they...

Hey all, So I have bought these for my ph1 172. Problem is that back home there are no renault specialists really besides the dealers, and they tend to be pretty rubbish aswell. What are the tools/tips/tricks/need to knows for fitting these to a std engine that someone who has no...

gonna buy one of someone thats had it lying about for the last year or so and prob fit it around december this year, or possibly mid next year to my car. is there a shelf life or something that i should worry about on these? its a gates one. Cheers

Hey all, are these the same part?

Hey guys. So for the last few days my first gear has become a little bit dodgy and have had a few times where it would not engage first at all. So about half an hour ago I drove to the shop to get a munch, got back into the car and reverse, first and second will not work at all. Its wierd...
