Injectors is next on my list of things to change, No I havent tried a compression test, How would I go about doing one?

I thought this and thats why I replaced the old original plugs with NGK's but upon a lot of reading it seems they come with Champion plugs so I have ordered 4 of these. Would faulty plugs really cause such an issue though and flag up the engine management light on my dash? Thanks!

Hi All, Just wondering if any of you can give me some advice before I give up on this car :boring: From day one it has been plauged with electrical issues making it run poorly, The most recent one which I cant seem to get to the bottom of is the car misfiring loads and almost stalling when...

Hi All, I hear a lot of people mention cleaning the ICV or Idle Control Valve can sort out issues related to idle problems but nobody seems to be able to locate it on a Clio 1.2 16V PH2. I have had a good look round my car (already cleaned the Throttle Body) and cant spot one anywhere, Am I...

Thanks, I have already took out and cleaned the throttle body after similar issues 6 months ago with misfiring but its the first time this ticking noise has started. I will speak to some local garages and see when I can get it booked in to be hooked up, any idea on a cost?

Hi all, Basically my car recently developed a misfiring problem so I went ahead and changed the coil pack and spark plugs, this seemed to cure the misfire but now my car sometimes stalls when cold and has an irratic tick over causing it to stall when cold slowing down for junctions etc. I was...

Yes, Im back with more issues and questions regarding my crappy french car! Engine became very unreliable recently, very lumpy idle and felt like it was firing on 3 cylinders, so ordered and replaced the coil pack and spark plugs, Car has been fine since then for a few days, also just to...

Done everything I really wanted now, Swapped out the standard speakers & head unit for some pioneer speakers and a alpine unit. Had the rear windows tinted although you can't really notice in this picture, Fixed a few things that were wrong with when I got it (leaky sunroof, faulty electrics...

Hi all, My first post in the clio media section, Gave my car a good clean this weekend so thought I would post up a quick one while she is still clean! Just a boring 1.2 Expression with a few mods such as lowered on Eibach Sportlines which I really rate although it doesnt look that low on...

Hi all, Took the time to give my car a good clean yesterday and the scrape on the rear drivers side wheel arch is really getting to me now, It was like that when I bought the car and I finally have a bit of spare cash to hopefully get it sorted but have no idea how much I should be expecting...

No.

The more I watch this the more I hope its fake... it has to be!

Hi all, I realise this has been answered a few times for clio sports but I have a 1.2 16v poor mans clio :( The wobble is more noticeable at lower speeds when accelerating hard and my car has actually wobbled itself out of gear from time to time! This is when I realised I was going to have to...

The only thing I can think of is I was parked up for around 4 hours with the handbrake on, and the rear wheels felt locked up as soon as I pulled away, even after pulling the abs fuse out it felt the same. Once I reversed though and pulled the handbrake on I heard a slight clunk, stopped and the...

Hi all, To cut a long story short my Clio 1.2 Expression (2001) not so long ago was randomly locking up under no braking on the rear passenger side wheel with the ABS light coming on + the serv light. I replaced the rear bearings and pads on both sides and the drum etc seemed fine. After...

Those pictures are spot on. The front looks alot higher than the back though, Hows the ride with those tyres?

Thanks for that mate, Got any clearer pictures and have you any idea what size tyres those are? Thanks again.

Hi All, Currently have awful 17" alloys on my car but have just bought some new 15s and 195/50/15 Yokohama tyres but wont get a chance to fit them till the end of the week. My 1.2 Expresion is currently lowered with Eibach Sportlines and the 17s sit nicely in the arches but the ride is very...

An update on these, Recieved them today only to find they are 15's and strangely three of them have the following on them: Never seen anything like it before and find it very strange how its only on three of the wheels, Anyone else saw the above F1 logo on wheels and would it be a big job...

Hows the ride compared to the standard wheels mate just I currently have 17's on with very low profile tyres and the ride is very ruff. Thanks.

Hi All, Just purchased some alloys that I was told were 16" but upon arrival are 15's. I am just wondering which tyre size you lot would recommend for them, I am after a ride that isnt too ruff but still looks good if thats possible? Also, I am about to lower my Clio 1.2 Expression with...

The person also didnt mention the stud diameter, Are all 4 stud Renault alloys 100 diameter? Thanks.

Hi All, Anyone got an idea as to what car these alloys are off, Is it just me or does it look like a OZ logo on the left hand side, They look very similar to the 18" V6 Alloys but I am assured they are only 16", Any ideas? Thanks, Sam

But they had not been touched before the problems started occuring, Could the build up of brake dust case the brakes to cease on?

Managed to get it home tonight with my Dad and the wheels locked up again and I put my head out the passenger window (he was driving) and noticed its the rear wheel locking up. Anyway we took the rear brake all to bits tonight and cleaned it up (was fairly rusty and lots of brake dust over the...

Hi All, It appears my Clio 1.2 16v (2001) has some serious issues involving ABS to the point where I couldnt get home tonight, What happens is when I am driving mainly up hills and go down a slight bump in the road the ABS will kick in and my car will break to a stop (I dont even touch the...

Hey all, I have just received a few parts off my brother to help me setup my sound system in my new car, Now these parts dont have any instuctions so I am a bit clueless as to what I need to get them working, I am also looking at buying a new headunit to go with them so any recommendations to...

Got round to fitting these today, I must say they look alot better than I imagined, Just need to get her dropped now, was thinking of those sportline springs, Any suggestions guys? Thanks, Sam

Thanks for the comments guys :) They were an impulse buy! How much do you think they are worth now with 3x decent yokohama tyres on and one other brand tyre with around 4mm tread.

Hey all, After purchasing the following wheels I am not sure if they are a bit over the top and I would have been better off going for some standard 172 alloys. My car is a 1.2 Expression (2001) and is totally standard although I plan on lowering it with Eibach Sportlines and a spot of colour...
