My brothers 1.2 Clio was serviced late last week now we have noticed an oil leak. I'm thinking a likely cause will be either they have reused the sump plug washer or not put the filter on properly. Does that sound about right? I've not had chance to have a look yet as we only noticed earlier...

A lot of you will recognise this car from this thread started by Naith: http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?529935-Blo0dDiamond-The-TeamAriane-Clio-Project-str0ng So a few weeks ago I got a text off Naith saying 'The Clio might be for sale. You still looking for one?' well I wasn't...

Afternoon all One of the headlights on my phase 1 172 isn't working. I have swapped the HID kit over to the other side and it works fine. Main beam and the indicators work but it doesn't send power to the headlight. I am thinking it may be an earth but I'm not sure where the earth is. Any...

Thought I'd throw up a quick picture of my freshly PC'd 182. I've had it a few months now and have made a few upgrades. 3/4 Plate, Fabia splitter, removed sidelights, flat wipers, silvervisions, exhaust. Broke the back of all the smaller stuff I wanted to do to it. Future plans involve...

Parked next to my BG 182. Never seen it before so presumably visiting somebody.

My 182 seems to be sluggish for about the first 15-20 mins of driving. The other day it cut out twice on idle. I've also noticed the temperature fluctuates from just about half way, to just over, then back under etc a fair bit which none of my other cars have done. It also seems a little heavy...

Well here it is, my 3rd Clio, 2nd RS. BG 182, totally standard at the minute. I've got an RS 192 exhaust waiting to go on it. I'm going to make a few cosmetic improvements like silvervisions, fabia splitter, 3/4 front plate. The usual really. I'll start to make some more mods when I finish...

I'm looking for some owner reviews on the RS192. Basically I need an aftermarket system on for insurance purposes (its far cheaper). The RS192 is a good price, if I had £500 I'd get a Yozza but I don't and I need an exhaust fast. Does the RS192 drone at motorway speeds? Are people happy with...

Two of the wheels on my MX5 are corroding according to the tyre fitting place I use around the inside rim and causing the tyres to slowly deflate. I've had one of them resealed twice, they use a wire brush and reseal the tyre and its fine for about two months then it happens again. What is...

A year after selling my ph1 172 the Clio bug has bitten again. I've got a budget of up to around £2500 but its always a bit flexible if the right car comes available. Basically I've been looking at ph1's and cups. I'm finding a nice well maintained ph1 hard to find so its looking like I...

Well i've had the 5 about a month now so thought its about time to get a few pics up. The NW lot have already seen it but thought the rest may like a look. MK1 MX-5 by Niall97, on Flickr MK1 MX-5 by Niall97, on Flickr I'm loving the car, mods on it are the wheels and a front strut...

I checked the oil in my Mazda 323 runaround this morning. Its the 1.8, same engine that goes in the MX5. When you check the oil from cold it shows just under half on the dipstick. However if you check it again when its been run for 2/3 mins it shows nothing :S is it low on oil or not? I don't...

Is it me or in the last few months have prices really dropped for 1*2's. I sold my ph1 172 in Aprill and looking now I think I would probably get £400 less for it. A good 182 is now into the late £4K's. The drop seems pretty sudden however as we've got into summer. Its making me really...

http://www.pistonheads.co.uk/classifieds/1814018.htm As good as an example it may be there is no way a valver is worth that.

This problem only started when It snowed last week and left the roads with 6" bumps in. When going over a bump the suspension performs as normal. However when you either go on or let of the throttle you hear a knock. Its not loud enough tat you can hear it over the radio, but if you don't...

Only one picture unfortunately. The car will be cleaned and some proper pictures taken when the weather clears up. Loving the Sportlines so far though, haven't been able to test them properly yet or even drive the car for the two days since they where fitted but they stiffen the car up...

As per title. I'm after one thats pretty small and subtle like the cup splitters on the ph2's. Any recommendations? Thanks, Brett

I'm going to be buying a decat off Dazdon if it will fit my car. It comes off his 172 cup so its from a ph2. It has a blanking sensor in so that's fine. My car has the single sensor twin cat on. So basically will the ph2 decat fit my ph1 providing the lamba sensor whole is bunged. Thanks...

In the guides section there is the Gearbox oil change guide, however the pictures are gone. Dones anybody have a guide with pictures? I want to change the oil to keep the boxc in good condition if possible.

I recieved a letter today saying I have recieved a £105 refund from Adrian Flux as I had been quoted for 1 years NCB but my proof said 2 years. The reason for this is that 1 of those NCB's is off a scooter which my previous insurer, Direct Line, accept but Flux do not. I was origionally...

As above realy. I'm having the mounts changed when the car goes in for belt changes. It currently sounds like a machine gun in 1st as the manifold knocks. The car is only driven on road and won't be constantly ragged in 1st as I'm not into drag racing or anything, i'd just like to be able to...

Well i've had the 172 for just over a week now and this is the 1st chance i've had to give it a scrub up and get some pics. So far i'm loving driving it and the mods so far are: PH2 Rear lights Silvertecs front and rear Flat wipers Ktec stealth My to do list so far is...

My ktec stealth is fitted but it knocks when cornering hard or bumps in the road. Its sitting properly on the rubber mounts and if you move it by hand you have to push it up pretty hard to make it knock but it bounces up onto the underbody of the car someimes when you drive it. Any ideas of...

I've got my ktec stealth now and i'm thinking whether I should fit it DIY or get a garage to do it. I've had a quote for £30 so for that price i'm thinking I may aswell let them do the work. I've got a trolley jack, axle stands and socket set. I've also got an angle grinder to get the old one...

As above. Anybody got any reason why I shouldn't get one? I'm not bothered how loud it is when going having a blast and i've heard they're fine when at low revs and low throttle openings. Opinions?

I'm going to be ordering an exhaust system for the 172 within the next week. It needs to go on for insurance purposes because I needed some mods to go on a cheaper modified policy. I've decided on a K-tec Stealth. Should I go supersport with cat or sports with decat? Opinions appreciated.

I'm putting some ph2 rear light on my ph1. I've read the wiring diagram thats fine. My question is how do you get the wires out of the plastic block, do you just have to pull realy hard or is there a method. I don't want to break the pins etc. I've done a search but couldn't find an answer...

Is it worth a go? I'll follow the guide and have a week to do it because i'll have the 172 a week before I can insure it. Worst case I c**k it right up and have to have them done properly and i'm 50 quid down. Cheers, Brett

It's going tomorrow, 2.1K cash. 2005 55 plate 1.2 16v Extreme 4. 43K with FSH. Tax untill end of month. MOT untill October. The body work is very poor though. I had a bump and had the wing, bumper and headlight replaced. The paint is flaking off the bumper, the headlight insert colours...
