Thanks for reply James. Just a quick interim update. I replaced the front tyres today, ready for its alignment check tomorrow. The tyres were sh*te anyhow (Millienium's??) but I'm glad I did as yesterday I had missed that there were two small patches (chunks missing) on the O/S tyrewhere the...

Car has been skittish on handling, but only at low speed since I have owned it (Nov) and have previously had it checked which revealed nothing obvious amiss so have lived with it rather unhappily however. To give a bit more detail it just feels like the steering wants to do its own thing...

For the life of me I can't find the thread on here now that helped me but in short (and sorry I don't have pics) I traced mine to the passenger side of the boot. I had already siliconed the plastic 'buttons' where the tailgate bump stops on either side but when that didn't cure it stripped the...

Did mine today. Can't believe the difference! First light took me 30 minutes, second only 15 as I was much braver having seen the results. Only mistake was not taking before and after pics like you, albeit they would have been identical. A great product.

Don't rule out it getting in through the boot - once the water's in the shape of the boot floor and rear seat pan means that it just waterfalls into the footwells which is exactly what happened in my car. Check the spare wheel well which'll give you the best clue - if my spare wheel hadn't have...

There is a thread on here somewhere (there are loads on water leaks I know) with photos that helped me sort my car out. Unfortunately I can't find it now for the life of me! Anyhow I had exactly the same problem. I went through the whole sealing the 'plastic buttons' (the tailgate rubber bump...

Ok, i am taking some comfort that the lack of response from anyone means this isnt a common Clio malady! Since curing the water leak (praise be! - leaking through the seam from the roof gutter) and getting the interior as dry as can be without a full strip out the problem hasnt returned; so at...

Hi, just wanted to throw this one up for some opinion please. Every now and again my Ph2 172 has a strange and brief dash fault when driving. For just a second or two a number of different warning lights light up and both speedo and tachometer drop to 0. It doesn't effect the way the car drives...

Hi, have just got the 3M kit myself ( 20 quid from Amazon ) for exactly the same problem. I did a fair bit of Internet searching before I did and it seems that this kit is amongst the best. I'm hoping to get the job done this weekend and will let you know how I get on, plus hopefully post some...

Hi, i realise this is an old thread now but i am researching a similar problem with my 172. Source of water is definitely through the boot. At first I thought I'd cured it by putting silicone around the 'plastic buttons' on either side (one was pouring in like a tap) but there is still a...

Hi, Have just joined having used the Cliosport site a heck of a lot since getting my 172 10 days ago now. That in itself is probably worth a little more lineage here. The car is a late (very end Dec) 2001 172 in Pearl black (I think it's called unless anyone can correct me?) with 68,000 miles...
