    The Megane R26 project

    Love your car! Looks amazing. Just bought a megane myself. Just a 225 though, not an f1. Hoping the paint work looks as nice as yours when I've had it at the detailers on September 1st.

    dent removal

    Got the dent removal guy coming to sort a couple of bits on my car. 2002 172. Obviously the passenger door he can get to by winding the window down but how does he get to the rear quarter panel on passenger side? Is it easy to remove the interior panel?

    starting issues

    Had this problem for a few weeks now. Clio 172 2002. Today I was turning key andit was turning over but wouldn't start. Started after a good few tries and drove fine. Sometimes I'll turn key and instead of it starting sharp it'll sort of crawl to a start. It's hard to explain but it's like it's...

    knocking coming from the back?

    Thankfully for replies. I only had rear brakes done at the end of last year so surely can't be worn discs? Also the bearings come pressed into the discs so guessing it can't be them? Will get everything else checked that's been mentioned though. Thanks a lot.

    knocking coming from rear

    Glad I e seen this! Got same problem with mine. Knocking when rolling slowly and braking. Seems to go when above 20mph.

    knocking coming from the back?

    Clio 172 2002. Seems to have developed some God awful knocking that sounds like it's coming from the back. When I roll away from my house down hill I can notice it quite badly and under braking at low speeds. Doesn't seem to happen, or I can't hear it when I get above around 20mph. The noise is...

    car starts and cuts out/idling lumpier than usual

    It's definitely a possibility mate. Problem seems to have started when exhaust issues started. Thanks.

    car starts and cuts out/idling lumpier than usual

    Possibly. I had a ktec system fitted in winter and had issues with the back box dropping. Think one of the clamps had come loose or something. Took it to a garage and he tightened it up but it's still knocking and visible from the back when it's supposed to be hidden behind the bumper so...

    car starts and cuts out/idling lumpier than usual

    Car is 2002 172. Last night after work I started car, revs dropped and it cut out. Started it again and it was idling really lumpy. I know they're rough when they're cold but this was rougher than usual. Tonight after work I started car and revs dropped to around 800rpm and again really lumpy...

    exhaust gradually dropped

    Ahh, sorry mate. Took car to garage today anyway. He said either the clamp where back box joins centre pipe isn't tight enough or what he does with clios is a tiny weld on the right hand side where back box joins centre pipe. He said cos the mount is on the left, the exhaust on a Clio wants to...

    exhaust gradually dropped

    It's hanging at the right hand side, not the left. The thing with the rubber bits in that break all the time, that's fine. That's keeping the back box up. It's dropped on the right so the back box, instead of being horizontal, it's twisted to the right. Of you look at the pic in the link I...

    exhaust gradually dropped

    You mean the rubbers inside that square thing? Mine completely went but I've had it sorted now. It's hanging down on the other side now. The exhaust feels really sturdy though, it's quite hard to move, even a little bit so dunno why it's dropped.

    exhaust gradually dropped

    Had a ktec system fitted a few months ago. At first, you couldn't see it hardly because the bumper is in the way but gradually the back box has dropped on the right hand side. Has a bracket come off or something? I've jacked it up and had a quick look but I'm hopeless with cars so not really...

    172 radiator

    Mine isn't a cup mate. Not the first time they've sent wrong parts though. Had same problem with rear discs coming without abs ring.

    172 radiator

    I own a 2002 Clio 172 and radiator started leaking last weekend. Had it at my mates until today when we got a new radiator delivered. He's just rang saying it doesn't fit? Do the cup and non cup use different radiators or is there another reason why it wouldn't fit?
