Where is the best/cheapest place to get one? Car is a 53 plate 172. Thanks :)

Morning all, I'm experiencing a strange problem with my 172. Last night I put my foot down for a few seconds through 2nd and 3rd gears, shortly after I noticed that the steering wheel was wobbling and pulling to the left slightly :S It almost feels at though there is a bulge in the tread of one...

Have a strange apparent electrical fault that came about yesterday on my drive home. Having stopped for some petrol I set off again to see the 'SERV' service light had come on. I then very quickly noticed that the A/C climate control console had also stopped working. No display working and none...

My Mrs took her 1.2 2007 Clio in to her local garage as the front o/s spring had snapped. She goes to pick it up at the end of the day and is told, oh it also needs a new shock - won't be ready untill tomorrow. She wasn't told any more info then that. I thought this was a little strange on a...

....at least I think it's a misfire! I'm after some help / advice to diagnose please :) Car is a 53 plate 172, done 100K miles with FSH. I've owned the car since 2006 on 36K and it was totally standard, but even when I first got it, I noticed that it never had a smooth idle. I later read...

Hi, the challenge is as follows: A Kenwood head unit is fitted to a 2007 Clio A remote steering control adaptor is required for the stalk control to work... What is the part needed and where is the cheapest place to get it?!?? Prize to the winner to follow :)

As the title really - just changed my battery and now I have a faulty climate control, specifically the fan speed adjustment. All other controls work fine. But when I first started driving after fiting the battery, I increase the fan speed to the widscreen to de-mist, but when I went to turn it...

Hello, I'm just looking into buying some new parts for my 8 year old 172. I generally always desire whats best for my car, but I will always looks at cheaper solutions where appropriate / suitable. If I list the parts I need, I was hoping to get some opinion on wheather they NEED to be genuine...

Hi, My aircon has stopped working and I need some help trying to find the electrical problem. I have already started a thread about the general aircon problem here http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?t=511856 and have established it is either the pressure switch or the relay. I...

Hi, Just been to get my air con regassed at a local garage as the a/c pump didnt appear to switch on when you hit the a/c button. It turns out that the a/c system was fine and reasonably air tight. The problem is something electrical! :dead: The pump it self is fine as they managed to force it...

Morning all, As the title, this is the reality of a recent problem I have; my latest (and forced) mod was to get a custom Powerflow back box made after the standard one fell off - i'd like to understand why and how I might rectify the problem. To outline a bit of modification history...

Lookin to fit/do the above this weekend and just wondered if there is a recommended order in which to do all the work, or does it not really matter? I was thinking i'd fit the discs/pads first followed by fitting the new braided lines, then changing the fluid would be the obvious thing to do...

Hi, I was driving my car the other day and at the end of my journey (15 miles) i noticed a loud ticking from the engine. When I stopped and opened the bonnet, it was obvious it was coming from the cams. Half hour later I decided to check the oil level, and to my shock there was barely anything...

Just had an MOT re-test, after having to buy 4 tyres and rear discs n pads, only for it to fail AGAIN!!! Miraculously between the re-test and the original test a rear shock has decided to piss out oil. Just wondered where would be the best place to get them. The chassis is standard apart from...

My REAR discs and pads are on their way out, and i happened to be particularlly skint this month (MOT and 4 tyres to get this month also!). Also because they are for the rear brakes, which to my knowledge only do about 10% of the braking, i was wondering if I would be safe to get cheaper brand...

Anyone know of a place with a good dyno in hampshire... nearer southampton the better? Cheers

Hooked up with a 182 as above last night, around 11.30pm, getting on M3 southbound at J10 towards Southampton... was it anyone on here??

Hi, Got a Mk2 Ph2 172. I sometimes get this really annoying low-pitched buzzing noise, sounds like its coming from the glove box. Some days its there, others its not. When it is there, if I turn everything electrical off its still buzzing away! Any ideas what it is?

Hi all, Lately my car has developed an annoying creeky noise when i pull away from a stand still. I have also noticed a very similar squeeky creek when i go over speed bumps. I'm assuming it could be chassis/suspension related, and it sounds as though it's coming from the rear half of the car...

Just got a CNC matched inlet from angel works today. When i looked down the ports, only the first 1-2 inches look 'machined'. The rest of the inside of the tubes still looks rough/original...:S I was under the impression that the intire inner length of the ports, both plenum and manifold, get...

Well... rotting exhaust disease!!:dead: Noticed a blow, and upon inspection it looks like some old welds to the rear end of the centre section have started rotting through :mad: No point trying to weld over old welds as it'll only last about a week, so it's new exhuast time, do i... 1...
