Hanger, bearing.. me too. :dead:

Having just sold my dCi 65 & bought a dCi 86 I have to say the new horn is a joke. My bike horn is more impressive! Gotta say though, both cars: the good points outweigh the bad points! ;)

It's certainly quieter, that much I have noticed. Not too keen on the removal process for the spare wheel. Why did Renault have to tinker with that?

Martin, yo the man! :approve: Thanks.

Y721JMA Clio dCi 65. Sound engine, 64000 miles at 9 years old, 1 owner as of April 2010 (me) Leaking sunroof seal. Part-exchanged at Wirral Renault & last I heard going to auction.

The wheels - 15'' Del Arte I believe they're called. The ride - having driven the dCi65 for nearly 9 years it's OK :cool:

Yup, dCi 86 Thanks for cliodci info. I'll check it out. edit: Checked out cliodci & I'm in! The Beer Hunter.

Yea those badges are pretty naff but I don't want to damage any paintwork. They'll probably fall off after a few washes anyway. ;)

I bought my 1st Clio brand new back in 2001 - a 1.5dCi Dynamique. 9 years later I was looking to replace it so I spent a week checking out what to buy. On my list of cars to look at was: VW Polo VW Golf Skoda Fabia Suzuki Swift I did concider a Toyota a few months back but recent events have...

Ah ha! Just done a search, typed in 'sunroof' & there's loads of info here. :cool:

Agreed, my 1.5 dCi had a duff r/wheel bearing after less than 45,000 miles. Had to get the old bearing pressed out.

Recently noticed my roof is letting in rain water. It drips down from the headlining, just in front of the sun visor & drips onto the driver's seat. I'm assuming it's getting in from the sunroof. Is this a common fault? I've removed the sunroof glass & cleaned the seal & applied a thin coat of...

Reposted in the Faults section. :o

I wouldn't have even known where to start looking. Duff sensor diagnosed & new sensor fitted £148.76 :o

Thanks for the replies. On the way home from work this morning it cut out too many times to count! :S I drove straight to my local Renault dealer & parked up until they opened at 8am & left it with them. I've just had a phone call & they recon it's the TDC sensor. £175, I can collect...

Oh yea, the car runs fine now but I just want to know what happened when it cut out twice on Friday morning. It's never done that before in the 7 years/50,000 miles I've owned the car. Thanks for replying.

My Clio cut out on the way home from work on Friday morning. Felt identical to running out of fuel but I had a full tank. The electrics were fine & the headlights stayed on OK. As soon as the car came to a stop I turned the ignition off & then started it up OK. It ran for another 5 miles or so...

Maybe an oil leak contaminating it then?

My (nearly) 50,000 mile dci Clio is starting to judder sometimes when pulling away in 1st gear. I assume my clutch plate is on the way out or contaminated. How much will a dealer sting me for this to be replaced & what's the expected mileage for a clutch when driven by someone with mechanical...

If anyone's looking at this thread in the future I can tell you I needed: 30mm socket to remove the rear hub nut. (torque to 129lb) Circlip pliers to remove the clip securing the bearing. Bearing kit - £41.52 (one side) A trip to my local Renault garage to press out/in the bearing(s) - £16.45...

Yup, got the drum off yesterday & my suspicions were correct - a knackered wheel bearing. Had a go at knocking it out with a few strategically placed blows but decided in the end to get it pressed out! Thanks for your replies! Parts - bearing/circlip/dust cap & nut £41.52 btw

Thanks. :cool:

My rear wheel bearing (Clio dCi) has given up & I'm about to change it. I've bought a Renault bearing kit 77 01 205 812 & I see the bearing is 40mm deep. This seems like a lot of surface area to overcome if I was to try & get it out without a press. Has anyone managed to drive a bearing out...
