That's my other option. Buy a second hand 129 gearbox and get the Renfort plate fitted to it whilst its off the car.

So I have managed to confirm so far that it is a JC5 129 gearbox that has a speedo drive. Can I get a 129 with speedo drive that has the 182 'bolt in' driveshaft coupling? If not will a 130 go in and be able to connect to the speedo?

Also how do I know if I need speedo drive or non speedo drive?

It doesn't have the button to the right if the steering wheel so I'm guessing not.

Good question. I don't think it does.

After some help if possible. Have a 2002 Clio 172 which I have had the problems with the driveshaft circlip into the gearbox. This was welded in to avoid future issues. The other day I lost all drive and garage have informed me that gearbox and clutch are knackered. I am reluctant to put...

My I my concern with that is that I need to get my car back on the road and that will take a while to arrive. Is is it possible to drill holes in the existing clip and bolt that in?

Thanks. Have you done this? If so is it a job that can be done with the gearbox still in place? I would prefer to avoid having to remove the box if possible.

The circlip on my nearside driveshaft where it joins the gearbox has decided to slip out again causing the problem of no drive. I replaced the parts with new Renault items when it did it a couple of months back. I am looking for a definitive solution for this now and if what I have read is...

Thanks. Going to give this a try once I get time later in the week. I'll update with how I get on.

Good suggestion. I shall all give that a try. I had all the tracking etc done recently too as I thought that may cure it. Is is it the mount on the top left side as I look at the engine from the front of the car?

My Phase 2 172 has a knocking noise when turning left past 45 degree angle. Since getting the car back on the road in January, as part of replacing worn parts I have changed the following with genuine Renault parts: Cup shocks all round Top mounts Cooksport springs all round Front wishbones...

I have managed to get the tracking sorted out (I think). Took it to a locally recommended price who managed to sort it. They also identified that a broken bolt in the left brake calliper carrier was causing the shocking braking performance.

Thanks for all the replies. Blink may be a bit too far from me in Blackpool however I want it doing right first time. Sick of the steering wheel hanging left.

Can anyone recommend a decent garage who can set up my geometry / alignment / tracking etc? I now have a nice new re trimmed Snappy wheel and would like it sitting straight as it currently hangs to the left. I am in Blackpool but any suggestions here or Lancashire will do. Thanks
