In your top pic , it doesn't look too dissimilar to the pic I've posted . Your other pics aren't quite as convincing . This is a genuine cup spring from a 182 . Just for your reference . It's exactly 30cm long . Not the best pic I know , but just so you get an idea.

I had this one fitted back in November . 15mm x 44 teeth . It's spot on . http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/171218040920?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

The fuse for the cigarette lighter , stereo and clock are the same fuse . Have you actually tried a new fuse or just a visual check ?

I have these fitted . They're good quality. If anything , they're a bit stronger than the originals . http://www.sgs-engineering.com/car-boot-tailgate/renault/clio/nl1983-renault-clio-tailgate-strut

I have a Yozza on my 182 and couldn't agree more about the quality , sound etc ........... but the OP wants one for a 172. If it was me , with the 172 and the Powerflow exhaust , I'd just get a centre section with a silencer ( probably the cheapest option ). I had a stealth Powerflow on my old...

Yozzasport doesn't exist anymore , hasn't done for quite some time . I know JP Exhausts in Macclesfield made the exhausts for them for the 182 . http://jpexhausts.co.uk/

Diamond Motors in Long Eaton just outside Nottingham . @MicKPM on here. Probably best to contact him through his website. http://www.diamondmotors.co.uk/ It's a 6 hour round trip for me , but well worth it.

It was just an example of how your postcode can have a big effect on your car insurance. One of the biggest killers if there have been lots of claims, whiplash injuries / fraudulent claims etc for your area.

That's what I actually meant to say , but never said it lol . Ebay sellers selling drilled " Brembo discs " are usually machined afterwards according to what I've read @George@RTR_Parts say. Or sometimes they are only Brembo pads and some unknown drilled discs but the advert is made to look like...

Are you sure they're Brembo discs ? I'm guessing you bought the discs and pads off ebay ? I'm pretty sure Brembo don't make drilled rear discs for the 1*2's and the fronts don't look like the grooved Max discs or the drilled X-tra discs . Lots of adverts cleverly use the name " Brembo " in the...

Put the coping stone under the jack and jack from the sill , then you'll be able to jack up 50mm higher than you would normally with the jack . Put the axle stands under the frame rails not the sills . I'm off to work in min or I'd search for you on here . But if you look for jacking points /...

I put 50mm concrete coping stones underneath my jacks , its a more solid base and gives you an extra 50mm height to start with so you can get the axle stands under the frame rails . Something like this ...

I took mine via breakdown recovery truck to a local garage that was recommended by somebody on here. I'd only had all the belts just over 12 months ( 9k miles ) previous so didn't bother with a new belt or tensioner.

I don't suppose you have any form or breakdown recovery ? That's how I got mine to the garage when my alternator packed up.

There were 2 options . Option 1 ,Cup suspension ( slightly lower and stiffer ) and anthracite wheels , the 2nd option was the cup rear spoiler and front splitter . Obviously the anthracite wheels could have been added or refurbed at a later date so that's no definitive answer as to whether it...

I took it to a mechanic I know in a local garage. I think it was about £200 fitted, he supplied the alternator. It was a reconditioned one. Im sure i read somewhere original Renault ones are about £450 is, but don't quote me on that. Prior to it packing up I'd had no problems, the first...

Same symptoms as I had a few weeks ago. Also wipers were slow and washer jet pump was very weak. Original 10 and half year old alternator. Changed it, now it's fine.

My old 172 failed on brake imbalance years ago . There were no obvious signs like uneven brake pad wear . I popped the piston out , grease it then put it back in , had it re-tested and it passed . Just be aware though if you do pop out the piston , they're a bugger to get back in .

Welcome to CS . Nice cars . Is your favourite colour Blue by any chance ? :tonguewink:

Knowsit , " always " on the rear :up:

I fitted these , haven't fitted the steering wheel yet so can't comment how they hold up .I bought them on the recommendation of others on CS . Dead easy to fit , just super glue them in place and job done :smile...

Sounds like the alternator to me . I had something similar a few weeks ago while driving . The lights all came on faint and flickering then became constant . The wipers worked but only very slowly and screenwash worked but lacked power pumping. I never tried anything else electrical like the...

I reserved it online so got the 15% discount plus 3.3% cashback through quidco @Paprika123 so just a few pence more than trade :wink:

Just nipped in Halfords to pick up a set of screwdrivers . I have these already , just misplaced a couple so I might as well buy another set . Down to £5.95 at the moment . Well worth it , they feel good in your hand , nice comfy handles and lifetime guarantee ...

Yeah I vaguely remember that conversation . I can understand why you want to try it then . Did you buy a new centre exhaust hanger ? That'll help support the centre section .

I'm gonna look at getting mine sleeved next year sometime . I wouldn't bother fitting a decat . I had one , it did bugger all. Only increased the noise of my Yozza . I took it off when it was due its MOT then sold it.
