Mines leaking in the same area. I love this forum! V helpful. Gareth

Nice looking odyssey, it looks almost identical to mine... Although mine needs tidying up at the front. Mines a high miler to and is currently at 170k but still drives v well and uses to fluids at all. I'll have to dig my old thread out and update it.

Ok ive just remembered the heater blowers stopped working on it before i stopped using it. Ive been looking about today and i think the fan resistor is goosed. Did the fans work on all speeds on your ph1? If so ill be after the resistor, its under the scuttle panel, drivers side. I can get a pic...

Cool will have a think and pm you. Ive had it since March 2014 I think. lol the reason I didn't sell it last year is because its worth peanuts so I kept it, but im using it again at the moment hence getting it out of the shed. Mines a Y reg 2001.

Sorry to read another ph1 is being broken. Ive not been on here for ages, but I just re-mot'd my ph1 yesterday after a year in storage. I love the little thing! Will you / have you got a breaking add up? Gareth.

Hmmmm I would like to know the answer to this as well, as mine has also recently packed up. Theres lots of info regarding the phase 2 and the position of the resistor but I couldn't find anything RE the phase 1. Hopefully someone can help us out.:up: Gareth.

Small update. Noticed recently the handling had gone slightly odd and that the rear drivers side tyre would rub when the car compressed at the bottom of a hill (car is not lowered). Turns out the rear shocks were totally shot. This clio sport (below) came up for braking so today I went and got...

Looks stunning, I really like the phs 1's is Silver. Gareth

Cheers for the invite, I only really use it for commuting to work etc, and rarely drive it otherwise, i've become boring in my older age. When I was younger like 17/18 I used to go to a few local car meets but hav'nt done so for yeeeeeeeears now.

Not far from Plymouth, near Launceston.

Always liked the phs 1 172's in terms of looks plus the price tag of £170 was to good to ignore.

Mk4 escort looks much better with the S2 kit, they look plain with out them imo. Number plate has now changed. Gareth.

Get one, their dirt cheap now and i really like them. Good cars imo. Gareth

Nice St. These are great cars imo, they handle really well but are too high as standard. I love my ST. Agreed they are flat and restricted as standard but two mods is all they need to open them up, a flexi pipe and a decent air filter, they are much free'er reving after this. I have both a 172...

Ahh ok. I had'nt realised some had and some had'nt. If the alloy bonnet was a sport only thing, then I would have defo replaced it with an alloy one, but as thats not the case I wont worry to much if its steel or alloy. Thanks for the advice, Gareth.

Ahh I see. So would a phs1 172 have an alloy bonnet? If so I would like to replace like for like. Gareth.

Just a general update to this, I will get some more pics up soon but I am now using the car and I love it. Says on the trip its returning circa 33mpg at the moment, which is steadily increasing. What can you expect mile wise to a full tank of fuel? I filled it to the brim last night so i am...

Hi all; v quick question, are all mk2 phase 1 clio bonnets the same? They look to be but I want to just double check. Regards, Gareth.

Ive done cambelts before but not on a clio sport. Would like to read the guide first of all and then decide what to do. From what ive read the thing that makes it such a hard job seems to be the lack of space rather than the complexiity of the cambelt configuration. Gareth.

Looks like my Fiesta is sold so the clio will be on the road towards the end of this week!;) Been reading up a bit on here and general internet regarding changing the cambelt and despite all of the threads saying its the worse job in the world ever I still feel inclined to do it myself. I...

That looks superb,i have just aquired a phs1 in the same colour, I've done exactly the same to my head lights aswell. I'm after some stnd wheels though.

Only plans are to use it and enjoy it , keep it maintained and I would like a set of standard wheels for it. I paid so little for the car, so basically anything I do will cost me more than i bought it for. It will be a daily driver, we need 2 daily cars so this one and ST. The mk5 will be sold...

Wheels are finished now, I took each one off and scrubbed them for hours! I will get some better pics of them, they came up really well considering how bad they were.

Ahh cool, I didn't know that. I will need to get some paint for the front so at least now it will be the right colour, lol.

Cheers guys. I think im right in saying its Monaco Blue in colour? Gareth.

Hi - I am new to the forum and new to owning this Renault Clio. Story behind me obtaining this is my friend who has owned it for the last 5 years had to move abroad for his job so he was basically going to scrap it or px for a newer car and get peanuts for it. I thought its far to good a car...
