As above The cable is for the seat runner so the seat slides by the look of it. The 172 Cup will have: Passenger Side - Wiring to the seat belt pre-tensioner (two wires) Drivers Side - Two wires for the pre-tensioner, two wires for the seat position sensor, two wires for the seat belt warning...

Renault Clio 072 ? Get that box changed, looks flat as f**k

I wouldn't be fussed tbh.. I'd be pissed off if I spent £1k on a rebuilt standard gearbox, I would never want to drive it hard. Think how many replacement boxes you could get for £1k. I'm sure he won't be blowing a gearbox anytime soon unless he likes full throttle launches on his daily commute...

Send the clutch back! It's a Valeo one which you can get from ECP mate. It's £148.99 from them and with code: PAT75 you will get it for £98.33 Worth doing mate if you can !

As above with the bearing. Put a new Valeo / OE clutch in mine 5 years ago and its still nice and strong to this day. Will be lovely with a new box in it as well but shame you didn't completely kill yours to see the benefit lol. Your gearbox looks very clean on the outside though !

WHAT ! That's cam belt and tyres money... I'm scrapping mine lol

I know this had a bit of damage or whatever but ffs this was ridiculous cheap.. Doesn't look that bad and seemed to be maintained ok etc? Could sell it for double or break it for triple

I've just remembered something... one of the torx screws is behind the door card lol... One by the bootlid side down a hole One by the bootlight area on show One behind the door card after you unclip it with the seats down. Rubbish picture but it will make sense when you come to it where i've...

@Scarecrow Remove the trim that runs along the top of the passenger rear quarter window. Under this you'll see a large plastic push clip, remove it by force but pull it square or just a flathead driver so not to snap it or stress it. Remove the torx screws holding the trim on, there are three...

@Dr Jekyll

As above when was the gearbox oil last changed? If it's never then could of been previous owners thrashing it and rushing the gearbox etc. I would of changed the oil with ELF NFJ and then in 12 months drain it and have another look or earlier if it didn't feel right. Did the box ever whine at...

Went through many max power type stages, but the photos are buried away somewhere, had it near on 3 years. My friend bought a Nova GTE but broke it for parts due to rust. I chucked the engine and ancillaries etc in this, didn't go to plan and had half the power it did in the Nova and never...

Nice introduction and good to see a standard looking one. Enjoy it for what it is and don't change it too much (easier said than done) :)

@XiteX Buy some 172 handles/side mouldings and mirror caps. Job done.

Is it a Cup

😂

@imprezaworks will be able to help you find your local store

A good mate has his 5 GT Turbo project under a tent plastic sheeting with a industrial controlled dehumidifier going 24/7. He has a humidity/temp sender to his phone and I thought he was bonkers but after just a week of damp weather it was overflowing out of itself out the overflow pipe he...

Wait what ?

Filler side? Mileage maybe the reason. Not used, sat around, even garaged permanently, the car won't be able to breath or get any air around it. Mine has been sat up for 6 months plus now and it seems to be making things worse lol. For example the engine bay looks like it's been snowing!

And I thought Clio prices were at an all time low... all of them will be dead soon !

As soon as I'm next in the garage I'm pulling my side skirts and door cards off... and probably the O/S/R wheel to check behind the fuel cap/filler neck...

I could probably do a guide on the complete car if I had the time lol Once you've done it the first time it's simple afterwards if you plan on re-inspection in 10 years time ;):)

@Darren S the best way is flip your seats forward, remove lower rear bench sections and undo the plastic fixing at the bottom on show and also the 17mm? bolts holding the the metal seat belt buckle fixing at the bottom, peel back the door rubber seals and also think you need to remove the front...

@STEVE.M

It's paused and raining hard..

Have you tried asking @XiteX ? You need to put your foot on the clutch or take it out of gear mate. One in twenty isn't bad though. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Usual_Suspects Yeah that's probably a good plan mate Na don't think it would, unless it's raining and you have wet feet...

Ok sorry
