I cant see any car selling for top dollar right now nor would I consider selling one currently given the financial situation. My 172 is probably currently worth the same as the change I found down the side of the footwell carpet - 32p

It was missing the one rear fixing entirely, I dont think it had been there for a long time, not even a bolt in the rail

Got the chance to finish fitting a new battery tray today after I noticed mine had one of the mounts snapped off. It's made a noticeable difference the the gear change and power delivery seems sharper, it had been moving around a lot going by the wear mark's.

Cheers mate, I just gave it a scrub under the tap. Only a battery tray so not really seen

Short of vapour blasting or similar is there anything I can use to clean up the white corrosion on cast alloy parts? The parts I want to clean are too fiddly to rub down with fine wire wool or auto sol really, I wondered if vinegar or a similar acid would work.

One of my customers thought I was 50 today, came home and gave the beard a good trim!

I'm now wondering what we all look like...nerds

I'm swapping over my battery tray if its dry tomorrow so can take a photo of my gearbox fix then.

I'm pleased to see we've all grown up together on here, so many people in and around my age. I'd always wondered if I was getting on a bit on here - seemingly not😁

40, I'm a certified sad ba$tard then😫

Dont later mk2 Clio campus come with the newer style Renault badge, see quite a few of them around on 07 and Im sure Ive even seen 08 plates. Did they run them alongside the mk3 for a while?

Ive always thought the hole in it is very sloppy considering the bolt size. Theres no thread in the turret on mine like it's been ripped out, just a big ass bolt going through into the arch

Just a quick query, replaced my battery tray as it was cracked, is there meant to be anything like a rubber washer between the tray and the suspension turret? The hole in the tray for the bolt is pretty gappy and doesnt seem correct that it just mates up to the painted surface of the turret...

I've been having these thoughts too, I bought a 200 style but havent fitted it but the 197 badges look a nice halfway house

I have a bit of that going on with my flamer

Is your bumper the wrong colour or is it a light thing?

Still drying out the sound deadening from the footwells😫 Received the holy grail of Renault clips

I'm glad I've read this, always thought mine was a bodge

Mine was snapped by a previous owner, it's been welded up and a long bolt used to hold the steel bracket on which extends back to the gearbox for additional support

Cant remember how to link it but if you go into the guide section and search "rack bushes" it comes up, by Beasleyclio182 or something like that

There was a good guide on here that I used when I did mine

Is it just the stub axles that were thicker on 182s giving a wider track?

What are the differences between 172, 172 cup and 182 beams? I'd like to pick one up to do the same as you on my ph2

My 182 was et45

Plusgas and a ball joint puller, job done!

You said in here just the other day it was a keeper! Dont do it, I did with my arctic blue 182 and rue the day

Grams (supplied by Kev) and cup shocks

Try RPD in the suppliers section

Ah that's not so bad, I'm in Herefordshire- the one nobody has heard of!
