Hi all,
I've acquired a CAN clip. Not sure on model but type says 21820869-9. I have got a hold of an old laptop with XP installed.
I was given 1 CD to go with it but by the looks of, once mounted, the ISO has a CONFIG folder and a REPROG folder. No executable files anywhere to be seen. It...
Hi,
I haven't posted in a while as I sold my 172 but I'm after a little help for a family member.
The car in question is a 2000 'x' plate MkII 1.2 8v clio. He's decided to take the rocker cover off and have a play to try and fix a problem that in the end had nothing to do with the...
Hi guys,
My Mother-in-law's 2000 X plate Clio 1.2 is playing up.
We think it's the immobiliser. The car unlocks perfectly well using the fob. When she puts the ke in and tries to turn the engine over the immob LED flashes rapidly and it doesn't fire up.
Is this a known problem?
What is...
My wife's clio Mk2 Ph1 1.2 8v is hesitating on acceleration.
At first, it was every so often but it's been getting worse so much so that the car hardly has full power. It happens even on part throttle, not just full throttle. It hesitates and then picks up the holds back and then picks up...
Hi Guys,
MY wife's '00 X-reg clio refused to start yesterday.
When you go to start it theres only a couple of clicks, then nothing. The RAC guy managed to get it started, as have the garage but once started it idles at about 3-4k rpm. If the turn the engine off, it again refuses to start...
Hi,
Going to detailthe GFs 1.2 Grande as I have a few weeks off and I'm a bit bored!
It's going to get the full claybar, PC, wax treatment.
The plastic on the bumpers is looking a bit dated so I waneted to spray them with plastic spray paint.
My question is 'Were the bumpers a dark grey...
Hi,
If I fitted 17cm Co-ax speakers in the front of my 172, would there be too much treble in the front to the point where it would hurt!?
I've got the chance of getting some really cheap and don't really want to spend money on components unless I really have to.
Thanks ;)
Hi,
I've got a really nasty knocking/grinding whilst going rould left hand bends. Right hand bends are fine.
It has recently got worse as there is now a whining sound when doing around 70mph on the motorway. Also, the ABS light comes on now and again - I'm assuming this is to do with the...
Hi,
I've got the car to bits and want to finish it soon, hence the urgent request for help!
Basically I broke some of the internal mounts for the HIDs, it' all fixed now, but the problem is the beam pattern. Please help!
When I put the HIDs on and look at the car square on the amount of...
As title really.
I'm wanting to put in some Pioneer tweeters. The ones that are specific to renault. How are the OEM tweeters wired up?
I'll be putting the crossovers under the dash most probably. I realise that the main feed will come from the HU and then split. But how are the OEM...
Ok, when I brake hard the car wants to pull to the left. I can counter balance this by turning the wheel slightly to the right which makes me brake in a straight line. I first thought - tracking!
Well, I've just got back from my local tracking place. They use the laser technique 4wd jig...
What is 'that' thing next to the gear stick? it looks like a jack plug socket? It's next to the gear shift gaiter on the passanger side.
What the hell is it!!!?
Nick.
Hi,
I believe I need my geo done. I've just installed 4 new OEM dampers to my Ph2 172. The ride quality is so much better but braking can be very scary. The car wants to shoot off to the left hand side. the steerign wheel is also slightly out of alignment.
1.) do I NEED the geo done or...

I'm looking for some sympathey! The 172 now drives so much better...
Hi guys, only had my clio a few days! haven't driven it much!
It's a ph2 172 with 80k on the clock. I bought it with a few problems that need fixing. Got it cheap so it's not too bad!
Anyway, when cold the car runs sweet apart from a lumoy tickover. When warm, it's a different story...
I think my car is fitted with a ph1 172 tape deck head unit.
I don't have the keys to remove it. Can I use ends of a coat hanger or not?
As per other thread, it powers up but does not work. I want to get to the back of the unit to sort it out.
Please help!
The HU powers on and off but there is no sound.
I've tried pressing all of the buttons but there is no sound at all.
Is there meant to be a display to tell me what radio station I'm listening to? I ssume it's meant to where the clock is????
Please help!!!
Hi,
Just bought a 172 and the P/S xenon isn't working.
What could it be? the ballast? Do the bulbs go at all?
What is the easiest way to find out?
Thanks!
Going to be purchasing a Ph2 172 as a cheap runaround for a year.
I want to get it lowered for improved handlling but mainly for aesthetic reasons.
I see there are quite a few different kits. What is the reccomened drop for a 172? Some of the kits are 30mm, others 40mm and one kit I...
My GF has a MY00 Clio Grande 1.2.
Is it 8v or 16v? It's pathetically slow, but good on economy.
Also, why is it called a 1.2 when the capacity is nearer 1.1?
Thanks! :)
