oil

I've noticed I've got oil around my rocker cover under my inlet manifold, is this defo the rocker cover leaking or is there something else that could be leaking? Also on the front of the engine is a sensor of some sort and the electric plug was off, what's this for

I just installed a set of BC Racing coilovers for my 172. I replaced them together with new front and rear top mounts (rear are the ones that came with the BCs). I installed the set with its original setup for height, from factory. But i get the impression the rear ride height is lower then it...

As I hate things going to waste I got given a brand new oil cooler that was going in the bin from a lorry Having not seen the mocal cooler im unsure if this will be to restrictive for 10w-50 might be I fit a thermostat to allow the oil to thin before passing through. I'll get hoses made by...

Hi guys, I know it's been covered loads before and I have tried to look at all old threads to work out if these two coilovers are worth it. Most of the time people jump down the guys throat saying 'they're crap', 'buy cheap, pay twice' ect ect Has anyone got any useful advise on these, maybe...

Just a quick one. @fairm010 has got a standard 172 spoiler and wants to put it on his Mk2 ph2 Dynamique. Any drilling required or straight swap? Cheers

Whats the general opinion on these? Better than say prolines and cup shocks? My car will never be an out and out track car. I would like to do at least 3 a year though but its going to spend most of its time on the road to be honest taking me from work and back and just me driving. I know...

Hi Guys, I know this has been asked plenty of times before, but hoping for some fresh ideas maybe! Car (182) keeps going into LIMP mode, with the coil light and the EML on. My code reader is picking up 'P0120 - Throttle/Pedal Position Sensor/Switch "A" Circuit'. I've removed the white plug...

I have just fitted my new Spa gauge and I have to set the alarm for the low and high oil temp and pressure. What are the correct operating temp and pressures and what would you set the lo and high to?

Hi guy

So yeah... I'll let the pics do the talking, not sure I can keep it at this height but it looks EPIC!!! need it booked in for a full geo but from my initial rain soaked drive home it drives like a different car, so flat and so sure footed! I absolutely love it! Better pics to come when...

can anybody tell me if its still avalible to buy ..and part no if possible...after one for my182...cheers☺

Hi guys, Just got some great help from Jaff so thought I would try my luck with a second issue I am experiencing. I have just changed my aux belt and tensioner on my Clio 172 (2002) No noises now, so I was well chuffed! I then did an oil (Shell 5w40 Mineral) and oil filter (Mann Filter)...

hi guys, just got my clio 200 last week and it says oil pressure warning for a few seconds then disappears, not sure where I find the switch, Google is a bit useless. Many thanks

Hi Guys, I am new to the forum and am looking for some help... I just spent 3 hours changing the aux belt on my 172 (2002) and its heaps quieter now! However I got carried away changing my oil filter and snapped my oil pressure switch (green one). The weird thing is that I have no dash...

Wanting one of these just in case mine won't come off by hand when I try it. Like this

Does anyone know if its possible to find coilover nuts anywhere seperately? One of my b14 nuts has cross threaded, so now im kind of stuck! Iv had a search on google, but not seen anything suitable! Thanks

Hi All Got hold of clio trophy replica spoiler and now just looking to get it sprayed. Does anybody recommend a good place to get it done in Hampshire? i'm based in Farnborough. thanks in advance!

Hello. I would like to know if Renault 11 or 19 coilovers kit will fit directly on my clio mk1? From which car will they fit straight in? Or if not, where can I buy four of them new or used for a good price?

I am thinking of getting a oil cooler, where is the best place/cheapest to get one from? I want one with a thermostatic sandwich plate, as for braided hoses are they needed?

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...

Today I was changing the turbo on my DCI and the o ring for the oil feed is ruined, drained oil all over the road and engine.....brilliant. Wonder if anyone can tell me if the o ring which goes on the end of part 1 is available separately as I can't even see it on the schematic. part numbers...

Odd question I know but bear with me! My clio is stripped, caged and has spherical topmounts, PMS spherical rear beam kit and polybushes elsewhere and the noise it makes on rough surfaces would have me pulling over in any normal road car looking for broken bits. Is this normal, or should it be...

Whilst dicking round with the spring and damper I managed to break/pull the rubber gator off the drive shaft dumping all the gear box oil over my drive. Would I have lost all the oil or just some of it? How do I check the level so I know how much to put back in?

Hi, just got myself a 172 cup over the weekend. Well happy with it except for the oil light coming on when driving at low speeds. This leads of to believe that it's either the sensor or its not keeping up the pressure at low revs. Can anyone help? Cheers

Mine is like tin foil and worn through in some places and was forever having to lift it back into place at Oulton the other day and noticed it a few times before this, is it easy to replace or what can i use too hold it back out the way as every time i push it back it just falls down again.

Hi All, Had my MOT yesterday on my Clio 172 CUP, which thankfully passed. Had a few advisories though; - Front and Rear coils are corroding and need replacing - Front and rear brake discs need replacing I was quoted around £1158 for the parts and fitting from the garage. I was wondering if...

Hi, Recently had my 182 serviced and was told I had a minor oil leak - decided to have a look and have found some oil on top of the cam cover as well as underneath it in the front of the engine sitting in some webbing. Have had a look about on here to find the bolts leaking being a common...

Hey guys. Looking at changing my oil on the gearbox and wondered if anyone could link me to the one on eBay for the oil and washer please I can picture the ad on eBay and it's around £30 but can't find it now. That'd be a great help! Cheers :) Also if i'm repairing the seal would it make...

What is a good base setting to start with fully stripped trackcar cage etc 182. what is a good idea on base setting for the coilovers front and rear?
