    Potential Problem?

    My '58 plate's started doing it sporadically for the last few months, I'm on my second gearbox which has never felt 'right' but I'm more inclined to think it's the clutch slave cylinder not being man-enough. I've read somewhere that this could be the case when the gearbox oil's cold, but in...

    Any lights/problems with removing rear seatbelts?

    try having a look at this... i know it's generally a good idea to disconnect the car battery and wait 20 mins for the residual charge to decay before you start fiddling with airbags/seat belt sensors, that way you're less likely to trigger a warning light...

    hehe, np... same to you though in that it's doubtful that anyone will ever make it 'better', but it'd be fun to give it a bash... might even learn something useful lol. so... any idea where you'd start?

    Any settings are a compromise; blended for very varied conditions, driver abilities and preferences. This forum is pushed forwards by people wanting to 'fiddle' and try new things, Renault spent millions on (for e.g.) the suspension, which arguably is the most important (for either car control...

    driver preference i guess, e.g. i've heard some people always take the power steering out of their cars for the extra feel... i would quite like to be able to change things like brake bias on the fly tbf, and in winter it'd be nice to be able to have a bit more control of when things like the...

    I've not heard of this done but wouldnt mind giving it a go if someone knows how - do you know where you could get hold of a wiring diagram? the cup racer or rally car must have some adjustment like this, so it should be possible somehow :-)

    Lowering & the diffuser

    Morning All, I've done a little aero work on racecars but have no experience with before / after comparisons on road vehicles, or how much of a change is noticeable... Has anyone noticed if their clio's got a bit more grip from the diffuser working better after it's been lowered - ie when...

    Hi, I saw one of my rear numberplate bulbs had blown, so replaced it... but managed to short the terminals very briefly trying to lever the old bulb out... and now neither of the rear bulbs are on. the rest of the car lights work fine, so i don't understand how it could be a fuse... does...

    Changing the fuel tank?

    if you want to get the petrol out before you start you can, if you lift the rear seats there's a plastic panel covering the fuel pump, prize that out with a flathead screwdriver (there are three clips that you should try not to break) then you can undo the large plastic cap to the fuel tank and...

    How to stop/reduce brake fade??

    Just to clear up what actually causes brake fade, it's gas which is created by the pads when braking, this pushes the pad and discs apart... less pressure between the discs and pads gives less braking effect. To overcome the issue, use featured (grooved or drilled discs) these have some...

    Rear Beam Axle

    Hi, I need to replace the rear axle beam on my 197 and was wondering if they are a standard component across all the clio range, I would have assumed so but after looking into it i've had mixed messages, was just wondering if anyone knew a bit more than I. Thanks :thumbup:
