miss my 5 turbo... wish I'd never sold it :(

My local garage are useless, dignose faults and can't be bothered to check the problem out properly wanting to just replace bits as they go along with an open chequebook. Where is the best place in the Newcastle area to take my phase1 172?.. In particular ABS fault light on dash... Personal...

Renault only? wtf.. Eurocarpars list them too but they are either £39 or £89 on their site (with no explanation of the difference)... Ok what about this then? Anyone know if the phase1 and phase2 are the same...

£27 delivered.. can this be right? I need the rear left side (so passenger side) ABS sensor.. I've seen some people on here quoting like £150.. just wanna get opinions before I order one. Cheers...

Will it work on my 2000 (W-reg) phase1?.. some of the text is suggesting 2001 or later.

Cheers for the reply.. hmm, well I've got ABS and SERV light on the dash.. have to suspect it's ABS?.. Also, could the DF006 code (knock sensor) be a result of the bad o2 sensor causing incorrect fuelling?...

Cheers for the advice mate, what sort of ballpark figure moneywise are we talking?

Looking on eBay, can anyone advise the the best code reader to buy for reading/clearing codes for my phase 1 172?...

Got the following printout from my local garage as it's failed MOT.. DF006: Knock sensor circuit, open circuit or short circuit DF057: Upstream oxygen sensor circuit, open circuit or short circuit 7G: Rear left hand wheel speed sensor circuit In particular would the upstream oxygen sensor...

Re: ABS & SERV lights on, MOT failed, can't clear it with the computer.. advice pleas Cheers will do, what does the ring look like could someone help describe what to look for? How is it fixed, is it part of the brake disk or something? Cheers!

Ok, got the ABS and SERV lights on the dash.. it's just failed MOT for this. Guy in the garage says the computer check is indicating a problem with the passenger side REAR wheel.. however he's tried clearing the codes off the ECU but the lights won't go out. He says he then did a test where he...

Fast idle test #1 CO 5.91% HC 328ppm Lambda 0.84 FAIL Fast idle test #2 CO 5.83% HC 297ppm Lambda 0.84 FAIL Normal idle test CO 0.17% PASS Guy at the garage said he'd got the engine up to running temp etc.. I reckon it's probably the lambda sensor too..

Ok from what I've been reading, lambda sensors last between 30-50k miles and a low reading would cause the engine to run rich putting CO and HC levels through the roof (which appears to be the case here for me)... Wonder if it's worth splashing £55 on a new sensor then and asking the garage to...

£55 from Eurocarparts.. is it an easy job.. just plug connector and spanner it into the exhaust manifold?

MOT failed on ABS warning light (on the dash says ABS and SERV)... Also on emissions, apparently too high on all tests.. guy in the garage couldn't plug into the computer as it was unavailable.. reckons maybe the CAT? CO level = 5.91% (max allowed 0.2) HC level = 328ppm (max allowed 200)...

Cheers, Can someone explain the difference between Xenon and non?.. I see you can get HB3 Xenons.. can I use those in my Ph1?

Ok, My Phase 1 172 has a bulb out.. on the dipped headlamps (the normal driving headlamp)... Took the bulb out tonight, it's an HB3 ... are these really £36 a pair from Eurocarparts (which is cheap)??????? fk me.. I was expecting to pay like £4 or something.. why are they so special.. and...

Actually the date on the battery was 2006, saying to check it if used after 2007 for charge.. ok, so the battery is like 6 years old. Is this the sort of end of life-span for a battery? Just reserved a 063 S5 Bosch at Eurocarparts for £61.. will collect tomorrow. £89 at Halfrauds ;/

Ok, went to open the car doors tonight with the remote, nothing... Manually opens the car, key in ignition, faded lights and no starter motor.. pretty obvious the battery is almost dead. Took the battery out, it's a Renault battery and says to check charge after 06.2007 (lol?).. could perhaps...

What's the iphone app called? I've got an Iphone 4 so will try it.

Yeah, just wondered if anyone had one of these on a bit of a longer term basis and could feedback of how useful/practical they are..

Open a dos prompt and do Telnet Open 127.0.0.1 79 (change 127.0.0.1 to your internet IP address) followed by the port number (in my example 79). Try for each port, does it connect on each or do you get a timeout? A connect may constitute just a black screen with a flashing cursor, as long as it...

Ok, thinking of buying one of these (or similar), purely for security in the event of an accident or problem on the road.. think it would be a good idea to have one given the cheap purchase cost of both the item and SD memory these days. Just wondered if anyone already had one, or similar, and...

Anyone got my Clio Cup 172 - CK03 CKY? (Newcastle area).. I saw it a few years ago in Tesco Kingston Park and it had black alloys on. Or anyone seen my old R5 GT Turbo, recently sold on eBay - G464 YEH (black in colour)

One other question, does anyone know the size of pipe which would replace the Renault hoses? http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_trksid=p5197.m570.l1313&_nkw=cold+air+feed&_sacat=0

Ok update.. got a picture and circled the pipe I'm talking about.. just to understand the Phase 1 airbox, is it 2x intakes of cold air from the front mounted bracket? I presume the split in one of them won't be a major issue for now, just means warmer air under the bonnet will be sucked in...

Hi, Just bought a phase 1 172.. was having a look around the engine bay and noticed that on the airbox there are 2 pipes which connect to it. The one closest to me is split fully in half and hanging together by a metal coil. What is this pipe, and roughly how much/easy is it to fix and...

Hi, Just wondered if it's possible to try a full members account for a few days to see if it's something I'd make use of? Been a member on here nearly 10 years now, after a long break away from Clio's I've just got myself a nice phase 1 172... No worries if not possible, thanks in advance! Chris.

Best to look around in say Autotrader, get an idea of the average price of this car with 20k on the clock, then check your intended purchase is in line with the others for its condition. Also get an HPI check, it's £22 online and tells you if the car has ever been in trouble before.. do this...

very nice!! How much you wanting?
