thanks, dos not matter any more, i just bought full set of clio 172 forge silicone coolant hose £85 :up:

anyone no the internal size of Clio 172/182 radiator top and bottom size, going to replace with silicone hose pipes, not gona pay £170 for whole set

my w reg 2000 ph1 172 is on 151,000 miles still going strong:cool:

Lovely blue clio sport 172 or 182, black alloys.. Nice and shiny.. Going towards Archway 4.30 pm today

Same happened to me, my map sensor was loose and I changed throttle body, all sorted.. I used a throttle bodie from a 99 megane 8v,

Garage done mine for £180, they just removed slam panel, not front bumper, took them bout 2hours

Is there a code ready that reads ph1 clio 172, because most ones I see, are for 2001,onwards as mine is a 2000 no readers work, even torque pro doesn't detect.. And garages can't read it, they say only Renault will read it?

lowered 60mm 182 full manifold ,de-cat, stealth exhaust very fast..:cool:

OK thanks
