Definitely best not mate! :eek: I thought 2.5k for that spec seemed rather too generous.

Is it my imagination or are 172/182/197's not as well loved by their owners as most other 'enthusiast' cars are??? The reason I put the question is that I am a petrolhead but a fickle and fairweather one. I have no real allegiance to any one brand (bar a bit of a passion for Italian motors)...

Yep, that's exactly the noise it sounds like. The car is going in for a drive shaft on Friday, I will ask him to look at the idle pulley.

I've had my PH1 172 since late January and the engine has always had a slight 'whine' to it. The past week that whine has increased three fold and is starting to sound quite awful. I had the cam belts done last month and since the noise was there, albeit slightly quieter, beforehand, I am...

Just bought a 172 and have loved every minute of it so far. Well almost every minute anyway!:eek: Two days ago I went round a small roundabout and suddenly felt the steering go tight and then release. "Did I just imagine that?" I thought as I drove off down the road. I couldn't replicate it...

Daft question here from somebody new to Clio Sport but is Clio sport 2.0l the same as a 172??
