If the car sits in traffic or not moving with engine on for a while, when I pull away upto 3k rpm there is a slight misfire. When I put my foot down the car performs normally. Any one have any ideas what the issue could be?

This only seems to occur when sitting in traffic at the moment, but when I pull away its like its misfiring or very lumpy, once I get over 4k rpm it flattens out and drives perfectly fine. Along with my ever annoying sticky idle issue, I'm wondering if anyone has any ideas on the mental...

Before I decide to send the car to car heaven I would like to try and fix this real annoying problem. I start the car and its fine, revs around 1,000-900rpm but as soon as i touch the throttle and drive thats where the issues happen. If I stop in traffic or have the car in neutral the car will...

Looking at getting all the suspension freshened up and was unsure if these wishbones would fit the ph1 and would be suitable...

My ph1 172 has a lovely idle issue after cleaning the throttle body, it fluctuates between 1-3k rpm on idle sometimes, or if it wants to be a lovely car the idle will stick at around 3-3.5k rpm. Thankfully I have a really nice Snap On dealer as a neighbour, so borrowed his Modis. Plugged it in...

I've got a PH1 172 and when steering at low speeds the AUX belt squeals/makes a noise and the steering gets heavy. Sometimes when steering and it gets heavy the battery light will come on, it doesnt come on at any other time. This time last year I had the AUX belt, tensioner and Cambelt done...

Car feels like its now on jelly, turn in and the cars turn in rate is rather bad. Getting all the suspension changed, but want to get new Ball Joints, obvious place of Euro's don't stock them online apparently. Any idea where else I could order them online and have them delivered tomorrow? Thanks

Looks like I have a lovely hole in my rad after finding puddles under the car, will any clio rad fit the car? or is it a specific 172 rad I need? Thanks

Seem to have a bit of a problem with my ph1 172, I can drive the car as normal, no problems or anything. But when I'm trying to park or steering the car at a minimal speed, I get this crunching noise and wheel wobble from the front of the car, this also happens when I steer the wheel when...

been driving the phase 1 172 for a couple of days now, and the back end seems very twitchy and likes to step out a bit. is this normal? or are the rear shocks on the way out? or dead and need replacing? Thanks

Right so i bought my 172 saturday, and i've just realised I have no locking wheel nut key, whats the best way to get these buggers off? cant get hold of previous owner at the moment and want to get the rear brake discs changed asap. thanks

Hey People! I am Daryl, just picked up a ph1 172 over the weekend, moving back to my fun little cars after having a MK4 Golf GTI 1.8T. Nice to be back behind a wheel of a car that you can properly drive after have a 106gti and Glanza before. Should know a few of the South East guys on here...
