So before I order one off of eBay does anyone happen to know the rough trade price for one of these from VW? I have a TPS that I can order from if its around the same cost. Ta Joe.

Silly day today, Got some new Engine cover bolts as the old ones were shot, Went round to a body shop and he thinks the bonnet will be able to be buffed up so I'm going round in the next couple of days for that. Discovered how S**t the Landsail tyres that have been fitting prior are in the wet...

Once I've worked trough all the problems I'm sure I will :spanner:

Is the Bonnet on the 172 the same as the smaller engine Clio's of the same age? Ta

I'll check it all over when I get a quiet hour or 2, shouldn't be hard this week. Ta

I have done, that was my first thought but all the wiring seemed to be fine. Thinking maybe take the door panel off and check that part?

Ok so, Today at work I had a quiet hour and decided to clean up a couple of things, I started by taking the under tray off and cleaning that from all the the gunk then cleaned up the gearbox leak. I'm planning to check it when I get back from the Renault Festival this weekend to see what sort...

So since I've got my car as soon as the passenger door has been opened I get the Airbag warning light pop on, If no one gets in the next time I drive it goes off. Decided today to plug it in at work and I got these codes back: DF193: Passenger airbag locking status change. DF091: Airbag Locking...

If there is no time being set I will be passing by the service station around 8:00-8:30 if anyone wants to meet up.

Could be but it was hunting before I changed them, At the time is was hunting with a bad misfire at town speeds, Plugs and Pack fixed the misfire but not the hunting. Perhaps the previous owner has left something off so I will have a look tomorrow.

The plugs and Pack fixed the misfire but on Idle it still seems to be 'Hunting' so I'm thinking possible air leak on that one but that is for another day 🔨

Yeah I was having a misfire on Cylinder 2 but was just curious as 1+2 looked fine, 3 was a bit iffy and 4 was that badly corroded. Thanks for both of your replies putting my mind at rest.

So I'm new to the area as far as the Car scene goes as such, Down in Portsmouth I used to know a place people would go on a Friday/Saturday night just to talk and look at each others cars ect, Usually with a Burger van or so. Is there anything around Preston/Blackpool like this? Just want...

So on Friday I did a quick Plug and Pack change on my 172, Apart from the obvious plug that was not firing on 2 (which is why I was changing them) The condition of 3 and 4 around the bolt head and ceramic was odd compared to 3/4 I was on a tight time scale so could not get too involved in...

Scratch that, I'm going for sure.

Just booked my ticket for Saturday :cool:

So, Planning on putting all the things I'm doing/done to my 2003 172 Clio that has... a longer list of problems than expected. I'm currently in the process of finding out if the Dephaser has been changed (Cambelt was done 2 years ago) Exhaust backbox innards are falling apart, looks like I've...

That is a cracking picture, Going to get some practice over the next few weeks when I get a chance to.

My backbox baffles are hanging out and its not something I've got time to do before then bit worried about it blocking up but it sounds like a good do.

I'm thinking about going to see how the new car and whatnot

I've just been reading about it. Trying to figure out if I'll be able to go or not, Figure it would be a great way to get into RS ownership.

So my 172 is my second car, My first car was a complete and udder shed 1.3 MK3 Fiesta that to be fair to it never failed me once but it looked bloody awful with its faded purple paint. So on my way back from the Gym I needed to give my car a quick jet wash to get rid of the remainder of the...
