Hey guys
When I went to Germany. I purchased some spare d2s bulbs for the standard 172 xenons.
I have sold my clio now but still have the unused new bulbs.
is anyone interested in a pair?
These were 60 quid new.
Hey guys I've had this reoccurring problem with my clio.
it stalls when rolling upto junctions, has an intermittent misfire, and once it stalls can be very hard to restart.
I've had numerous bits replaced, no cure so far. (Cleaned crank sensor, rear lambda, temp sensor, plugs, ht leads)
I've...
Hey guys what sensors are these?
Would they cause the car to stall if they are loose? Or shorting out?
They are found on the left of the throttle body plenum on a 172.
The black wiring housing that runs up the left side of the engine, that holds the wiring for these two sensors, could be...
Hey guys
As you may know from my other posts, my clio 172 ph2 has a nasty misfire, and is forever stalling and not starting on me.
I can't rely on it everyday anymore to get me to work.
So yesterday I bought myself a Fabia vRS to commute to work in.
Now what should I do with my Clio? which I...

Hey guys
Just recently when driving my car from cold ish, I let it warm up till the fast idle stops first.
I drive round the block, and when I dip the clutch she stalls, no juddering or anything, almost as if the in gear clutch down map (if there is such a thing) is playing up.
She doesn't do...
Every year I get a phone call from Admiral trying to sell me extras I really cant be bothered with;
Salesman "Oh Sir we could offer you hire car cover for just £30ish for a year if you had an accident, it could cost you upto £15 a day if you hired one yourself"
ME " But my documentation said I...
hey guys
My clio 172 has been playing up today.
On my 20 mile commute, everytime I braked the passenger window would open.
Then on the way home it didn't do that, but instead the stereo didnt produce any sound although it was operating just not putting out the sound - tracks were changing as...
hey guys
My clio was fine on wed, drove it 45 miles.
Then last friday I went to start it, and the battery and stop lights started flashing. Also every light (tail, side, clock, dash, interior light) pulses.
I have read other threads on this issue and I would like a bit more info.
I checked...

Has anyone fitted the headlight beam converter stickers to a clio?
I've got a set from the AA, and the instructions dont include xenons for the earlier clios.
By the look of the other xenon diagrams, they have them in entirely different places depending on the car.
Has anyone got a photo of...
hey guys
I had 5 of us in the car last night, for the first time.
As a result the gearchanges felt aweful, it felt rough and didn't want to engage and I had to slow my gearchange down a bit.
It has the knock when you put it in first gear, when stationary too.
My mechanical knowledge doesn't...

my clio's outside temperature meter was fine when I bought my car.
Once it got a little milder in february (after the 1st lot of snow) it shot up to 20 degrees.
And stayed there even when it started snowing again.
back in early April it was reading 46-50 degrees.
It was about 20...
