My clio 172 which was immaculate on 35k when i bought it with 1 owner, lasted 5k miles then my drive shaft snapped, then i had an issue with the cam sensor and loom, loose gear box mount - which i then replaced with powerflex, now ive got a rattle because of the extra rigid mount! Touch wood...

Re: Pic request 172 on bilstein B14's (preferably on standard wheels) & Feedback / in How will that affect the handling not having the adjustor rings on? How low are you gonna be going?

Re: Pic request 172 on bilstein B14's (preferably on standard wheels) & Feedback / in Yea im not overly concerned about the lowering, i just want the happy medium, currently on eibach sportlines but the handling doesnt feel 'amazing' in all fairness, what is it in the pic as that looks about...

Re: Pic request 172 on bilstein B14's (preferably on standard wheels) & Feedback / in looks nice! How low is that then i take it 40mm is the lowest at the rear?

Re: Pic request 172 on bilstein B14's (preferably on standard wheels) & Feedback / in Have you got them fitted si / Mike? If so how low have you set them?

Been searching the forum for hours, and still havent found exactly what im after. I want a set of Bilstein Coilovers for my 172 Ph2, thinking of lowering 60mm. Any chance of some pics and feedback, from the search results the feedback is mixed, how do you find the Bilsteins for normal every...

Just an update for anyone who may be experiencing a similar issue..... The problem started with a misfire type symptom kangarooing and not starting, took to a local garage, that did not correctly diagnose the problem as having a faulty tdc sensor, and so decided to replace coil plugs and...

Yea this is what im worried about, from what i can gather the damage to the bolt is beyond repair as the garage said it looks like something has snapped off :-s so it may be a case of having to replace the whole gearbox even though the internals are in perfect working order :( i might just have...

Yea, ive taken your advice and booked it back in with them as to be fair they have been great so far just one of those problems thats not been easy to identify. Just a query with the CPS mounting, apparently the gearbox housing is cast iron and the broken bolt cant been repaired for some...

Im near Rhyl, been to a garage in Denbigh - complete waste of time, and ended up in reno tech in llandudno

Hi Mick, I think the reason they are pointing more towards electrical, is due to the fact the problem is intermittent, they said if the injectors didn't solve the issue they would be scratching their heads really and they think the issue is going to start becoming expensive as all the common...

I posted a while ago about a fault that had developed on my 172, the car started to misfire in 3rd gear, eventually got so bad car would barely drive, kangarooing then eventually died. Took to local garage who replaced coil plugs and leads, problem persisted and actually worsened car would...

its really bizarre, since they replaced the coil plugs and leads its definitely improved but still coughs and misfires?! They plugged their universal fault reader into the car and everything showes ok, spoke to Birchdown on the phone they thought possible oxygen sensors all sensors and injectors...

Cheers pal will do

All sensors appear ok apparently. Fuel pump has been mentioned but at this rate I'm gonna be replacing parts at big cost as they don't seem to have a clue what's up with it! already spent £344 :-/
