Who's is the 55 plate 172 I keep seeing parked in Westminster Road in Hoole? It's got a Cliosport Sticker in the top left corner of the back window. Nice clean tidy car.

I've just had a fault with my 172 refusing to start. The red light on the dash was flashing fast every time the ignition was switched on. I called the AA out and they managed to get it running so I took it straight to Birchdown. As soon as I turned the engine off the fault came back again. They...

Anyone fancy a drive out to North Wales next week, possibly Tuesday 8th October? I went for a drive out yesterday to the EVO Triangle via Bwlchgwynn, then across to Ruthin and went through clocaenog village again before stopping at Llyn Brenig for a bite to eat. We could go further into Wales to...

My 172 is being featured in next months Practical Performance Car Magazine. I'll let you know when its out!:race:

I got talking to a guy that owned a pale blue 182 at Fleetwood on Friday. Forgot to ask if he was Cliosport member. I was helping build a rally stage for Northwest Stages across from the garage where he worked. He came over to ask if he could take his Clio round the stage after we built it. Said...

Does anyone know who the guy is that was at the detailing demo a while ago on Wrexham Industrial estate that refurbs steering wheels? He gave me a leaflet but I can't find it now. He said he would come and take the wheel off the car and fit a temporary one while he retrimmed it. Mine is looking...

Was passed lastnight by a flying 04 Clio on my way from Churton towards Aldford. God knows what speed it was travelling at but it disappeared pretty quickly. I was in the taxi. Anyone from here own it?

I took my car in for service yesterday at my local garage and asked him to check the condition of the air filter which was meant to be a cotton filter element I fitted a couple of years ago. He knew about it as he'd serviced it since I fitted it. Anyway I left it with him to get on with it but...

Can anyone tell me the correct torque setting for bolts on my Ph1 172?

Is anyone going to La Vie en Bleu this year? I'm going on Sunday. It sounds like its going to be really good again this year. I went in 2010 and it was a cracking day. I'm just hoping the weather picks up.

I took my 172 to RS Tuning in Leeds on Thursday for a stage 1 remap. It only took an hour to do it. The final figures were 167.1 bhp and 154 ft lbs torque. Power at the wheels 137.8 bhp. Not a huge increase in overall power from before the remap but the mid range and top end fuelling is much...

Been over to Leeds today to RS Tuning for a stage 1 remap on the Clio. 167.1 bhp and 154 ft lb torque.137.8 bhp at the wheels.:cool:Not bad for a 12 year old car with 124,000 miles under its belt. Engine is standard with green cotton air filter element and Scorpion cat back stainless exhaust. It...

Does anyone know if the centre section of the exhaust on a 172 Ph1 is Renault only? Mine snapped yesterday and I seem to recall last time it went I had to get a new one from main dealer. The one on the car has lasted over 3 years. Any suggestions anyone?

If anyone needs to replace the number plate lamp connector don't let Renault tell you the whole rear lamp loom has to be bought to get the plug and wire. Its the same as the crank sensor plug and is available as a single unit. Part number 8200673203 kit sensor plug. Ring Karl at SMC Renault...

My oil warning light occasionally comes on after it has been raining or if the weather is damp and misty. I've replaced the oil switch a couple of years ago and that cured the problem for a while but its recently started coming on again. I'm sure the oil pressure is fine as the engine sounds...

Is it possible to download pdf files from anywhere for the stereo in the 172 ? I can't figure out how to get the AF setting to switch on. I bought the car with no handbooks 3 years ago and just found my way round most stuff. Any info much appreciated.

I was at Carr & Griffiths yesterday for my taxi to get its first MOT and Council test. got talking to the guy doing the test and he told me one the mechanics there has a blue 172 Cup that has a K-Tec carbon fibre bonnet. Apparently he was going down the motorway when the bonnet delaminated. He's...

Is anybody going to the World Series weekend at Silverstone? The owners stand is away from the main village this time. Apparently last year some cars were scratched/damaged due to being right by the main entrance and everyone walking past the cars.

Was it someone off here that I just had a dice with at the lights? I was in my 172 heading towards Hoole roundabout and spotted a black 172 alongside me going for it so I responded. Never done that before but such a blast!:evil:

Was anyone from here at Oulton Park yesterday? I spotted a couple of Clio's coming in when I was on post at Water Tower. A very good days racing but some nasty crashes to deal with. We had a big crash in the second GT race that started at Water tower but ended up right in the middle of Druids...

I seem to recall seeing a company that was mentioned on here in Warrington that sells new bonnets,bumpers etc ready painted but cant recall who it is. Anyone point me in the right direction? I need a new bonnet for my 172 phase 1 in titanium silver. The one thats on the car is looking very...

Cant make my mind up whether to take my Wolfrace 17" rims off the 172 and revert back to 15"OZ's. The car looks superb with 17" rims on but they catch in the arches if the car is loaded. I was just going to use the 15" rims on trackdays but for practical purposes they would be better on the car...

Evo this month has various Renaultsport cars in it. They just love Clio RS's and Megane R26R's in that magazine. Every month they mention at least one of them. In the hot hatch buyers guide the Clio RS200 cup comes out top every month. There is a back to back test between a Ph2 172Cup and the...

I've had my 172 for 18 months now. I bought it from a trader with no history and took a chance on it. The car had been standing for a while as it was covered in green from standing in a car park under some trees. I took it for a quick spin and just knew I wanted it. Unfortunately I didnt get a...

Keep seeing this car in Chester but can't seem to find owner on here. Spoke to you last night in town centre.

Which direction do you turn the pistons on the rear calipers to fit new rear pads? I've got a set of greenstuff pads to put on my 172.

Spotted very nice silver Clio RS tonight in Chester. Is it anyone on here?
