I have a Clio DCI and it needs brakes. I am also braking a Clio 172 with good brakes, I was just wondering if they would swap over. Thinking of putting rear beam off the 172 on to the DCI too, as that has good brakes ect and the wider track. Thanks Gaz

Spotted at 22:35 in Cannock, it was a 5 door, standard. Driver was female late 40's. I flashed and waved, but I was in a astra so didn't wave back. Car looked pretty fresh, bar side light out and dent in rear ¼. Any body on here?

Had wet carpets one minute, next minute

Even though it has no engine, thought I'd give it a wash with hopefully my new wheels on. Just need my brother @Mr Burns to name his price lol. Love this car Thanks gaz

Bought a cheap daily DCI with the sales man saying it needed a clean, thought yeah needs a wipe and hoover. I always keep my cars clean (very clean) but this is a polar opposite! The sales man must of sprayed it with something, as the days went on the smell got worse and worse. It got so bad I...

Ok I've removed my passenger seat belt an now it's jammed. When I removed it, it realed in, now keeps locking. Had a quick look and can see the locking mechanism, just don't want to mess as seatbelts can be pretty important. Any ideas, need it sorting asap really Thanks Gaz

Bought this as a daily hack, but after 200 miles I feel its too good to drive in to the ground. Thought I'd do a thread as I hope it to be a bit different from a cup track car lol. Plans are to tidy up and just get it looking better without going ott. The cars engine is sweet, just going to...

I bought myself a daily today to get me mobile while I finish my 172. Managed to find a fairly tidy 100bhp DCI Clio, and I must say I'm really impressed! Really quiet to drive, even outside the car its quiet and I can't believe how nippy it is lol. Really surprised me, thought it was going to be...

Got water in the rear foot well and from what I've read seems to be bungs in the tailgate. I checked them and the one was dripping wet. What would you use to seal them? Thanks gaz

OK so just been looking at spark plugs and found myself looking at expensive ngk ones, which goes against everything I've ever said. Surely in a 160bhp car a spark plug is a spark plug???? I know in higher power forced induction cars a good spark plug us essential. Any body using cheap Bosch...

As a daily what would you prefer, a mint flame red DCI rep or a mint flame red 172? I think I would enjoy the rep for the eco cost but find it boring. Flip side again is that I have 9 points so I should slow down anyway. Value wise a mint DCI rep seems to be worth similar money to 172. I know...

OK I'll start with why I'm in this mess I bought a Clio 172 in broke, after 2 holidays i was able to save up buy some bits and get it on the road. So this is a minor problem but been off the road due to lack of funds. So I had a plan but due to another set back it didn't happen. At this point I...

OK when I removed my crank pulley for some reason it had a woodrough key like the megans. Anybody else seen this as I know they aren't supposed to have one. I damaged pulley and key removing it so replacing them, just wanted some advice. Should I put another key back in or leave without...

Hi guys just after a bit of advice, I want a car for work, something cheap and economical. So DCI Clio's seem to be a good choice. There are a few local to me which I'm going to go look at. I want to know if they are any good, as economical as folk say they are and what to look out for when...

Best thread lock to use on flywheel bolts? Thanks gaz

I have a rs inlet and a non rs inlet, question is I want to have a go at matching them myself (being as I have a spare I may as well) and just after a bit of advice. Which one should I mess with? guessing non rs. Is it just a case of opening the up to match gasket? What work, if any is carried...

Ok now before folk start moaning, yes its another 182 manifold thread lol. Basically I've done my research and I know there are little gains and lose a bit top end. My engines out so fitting isn't a problem. All I'm after is folk that have actually done the changed and what their feedback is...

I'm going to change the belt on my engine while its out, I have a dephaser pulley (came with the car) question is where is the best place to get a belt I.e Renault or is there a good non genuine one, also is there anything else I'd need ect thanks gaz

I'll start of by saying I come from the retro ford scene and even my 172 is a bit modern for me lol. The plans are to get it to a really clean tidy example, keeping all the Luxury's and adding some while at the same time improving handling. The car will be used for a daily commuter to work and...

I've just replaced my o/s driveshaft with a decent recon shaft and the and light is now on. I didn't count the teeth on the abs ring but they looked the same by eye. Is there any thing I can do to turn it off? Thank gaz

Just had a quote of £300 for a clutch fitted to my 172, seems cheap or is it just me?

I've had my Clio a while now (not working) finally decided to sort it out. Ok so from square one. I bought the car and when I got home it lost drive, made a grunching noise like it wasn't in gear. Also noticed when I changed gear one of the times on the way home my clutch pedal stuck to the...

This makes me sad Bought ages ago now, still not drove it :( lost all drive on the way back after I bought it. Then went to nurburg, then went lanzarote so had no money to sort it. Now kid holiday and every week costs a fortune. Will it ever see the road again? I sure hope so

Slightly bent conrod at work this week. Bearing in mind this is normally the length of my arm when straight.

Been hyrodipping bits and pieces, experimenting with different things. Done my front Renault badge and really happy with how it looks, wish I had spent a bit longer on prep as I rushed it as I was pushed for time. Tell me what you think, thanks Gaz

I've been at the ring since Wednesday and I've been seeing loads of Clio's just wondering if any of them are off the forum?

OK, so I thought I would take my engine out this weekend. So gave myself a couple of hours to strip front end and drain fluids, easy doable. Then both the captive nuts holding bumper to wing had snapped, which took ages on there own. Everything else went fine until I come to drain coolant, some...

I have a set of H&R coilovers on my car and from what I've drove of it they are really comfy for coilovers. But............ I know there expensive new I wanted to know what I would get second hand as I'm just not going to see the benefit from them with my car being a daily and the odd track day...

As above, gave it a try and I'm happy with the results. Going to do all my interior bits, engine cover and maybe my bullets.

Hi just wanted to remove this as it has some scratches on it. Is it just a case of pulling it off? Thanks gaz
