Sorry I didn't see this. It's already fitted. The gater on the cv joint was a pain. They crimped it on and that meant we couldn't slide the metal thing on that you bolt the drive shaft to the gear box with (don't know what it's called) got over that in the end. It's a refurbed unit for an eye...

I think he did the best price he could for me but when I go pick it up I'll try my luck. Thanks mate

No discount code and yes just for one I new I should of waited for a responce from you, I had a feeling you'd find one cheaper. Nevermind, at last it will be with me in the morning and hopefully the car will feel save enough to "test the rev limiter" over the weekend ? Thanks again for your...

I will post an update when I've picked up the parts and taken a look. Thank you all for your help so far. Only had the car a week but I am in love so far other than this cv joint lol.

I have ordered one through gsf for 160. It's coming in the morning. Thanks for telling me this. Their customer service is terrible anyway. Thanks mate.

I've never done drive shaft before, will the abs ring come off my old one and go on to the 172 one or do I need to buy new? Could you send a link to a site you trust please. Thanks steve

Hi everyone. I ordered a left drive shaft through j & r and they are telling me it could be weeks before one is in stock. I have a terrible scrapping sound when turning of I am booting it (I think wheel bearing so I've bought one of those) I also get a loud knocking on full lock ( I think it's...

Thanks, I'll PM him at some point over the weekend. they are very strange, I'm quickly learning that wow, I'm gonna guess you're either a Clio god or you've had the same problem as me lol. I'll take a look at it in half hour, got some WD or some TF spray. Fire some of that on and hope for the...

nice one. yea i presume they must be pretty similar as they are all built at the same time, engine side of things will be hugely different i guess. any idea on how to stop the sun roof from making that noise? dunno where its coming from but it shuts up if you open sun roof

oh, no. i wish! i did wonder if this was the right forum but i couldnt see any other forums for boring clios like mine :/ although, its not a bad first car, the alloys are a bit battered and you have to red line it if you want it to feel remotely quick but its a start. my dad had a 172 when...

a what?

ok thanks for the advice. If it does it again, i may come back to you guys on advice on how to do it. if i can find the panel you unbold to pull the pump out, it cant be that hard... i hope. yea ive heard about loads of mad problems with them but they are nice cars. i had an engine light come...

In that link it says to pull it out and check it, what am i looking for? is it hard to get out and clean up? I has only done it once. (had the car since December) yesterday when it happened, i tried turning the engine on and off a few times but it didnt do anything. it looks like it has sorted...

When i got back in the car earlier, the fuel had gone back down to half a tank and it has since dropped down one bar so it looks like it is working as it should now. Any idea what would of caused it to have a funny turn and then go back to working normally? thanks for all your advice so far :)

I tried to ask the fuel fairies but they were French, I don't speak French :/ Nice one. I did see that in a post somewhere after a google but I don't know where the earth cable is. Do you have a picture of it or something? Cheers
