As above, my mate just bought it from an Evans Halshaw dealer in Durham. Looks to have had a hard life to be honest and wondered if anyone knows the history of it. Thanks, Chris

I am in need of a new cat back standard exhaust for my 04 172. The current kwik fit exhaust is 3 years old according to the receipt from the previous owner and does not fit properly (and it cost £490!). It seems to hit the rear axle whenever I have people in the back of the car and crack. It has...

I'll have a look, have recently fitted a K-Tec panel filter so may have disturbed something. Cheers for the reply.

Can anyone help?

Afternoon, I started up my 2004 172 this morning and it really struggled to idle, also sounds like a tank. Once it had warmed up the idle was fine but still sounds like a tank. Any ideas what this could be? It has recently been fully serviced including the correct NGK spark plugs (within the...

Does this relate to speed sensitive volume on the stereo? Is this an easy fix for me to do or should I just get him back? Cheers

Evening, I had a Motorola TK30 installed in my car with the standard tuner list head unit on Friday. Whenever I use the kit, even press a button to select a contact to call, the speedo completely dies! All other gauges work fine. Any ideas of a quick fix? They guy who installed it said he...

Does anyone know how to programme the keycard of a mk4 Clio Dci? Or is this a Renault only job? The battery was replaced after it stopped working and it still doesn't work. Thanks for any replies.

I have used the same garage since I first owned a car 10 years ago and they have always been excellent. When it came to getting the belts done, I didn't even get a quote, just went straight to a specialist on here!! Not worth the risk!

2004 172, 27, clean license held for 10 years, 6 Years NCB, Parked on street, £760.00 per year with £250 excess (Esure)

Thanks for all the replies. I have had a few quotes today from specialists on here for the cam belt kit, aux belt kit and dephaser (inc oil change) I'm hoping to have all the work done before the end of this month as I now feel like I'm driving a ticking bomb!! Also, I'm fitting new rear...

Evening all, My 2004 172 is overdue a belt change. I'm planning on getting this done within the next couple of months along with the dephaser as it's just started making noise on tickover. My question is, are there any other parts that are normally replaced due to wear during the belt change...

+1!

Cheers for all the advice, I'll try and have a look this weekend with him (not that you need the window open in this weather!)

Evening all, A friend of mine has an 03 Dynamique. He put the drivers window down the other day but the window wouldn't go back up. He took it to an auto electrician who said he could fix it for £120 but wouldn't tell him what the fault was. The same electrician charged him £30 to get the...

Any kind of welding is fine, but if you are welding stainless, use stainless wire to weld it as said above it will rust and eventually crack if you don't. From what I can gather most stainless exhausts are made from 304 but 316 or 316L (low carbon) will be fine. It will be easier to find a TIG...

I had a small dent repaired in the door of my old silver BMW by a mobile repairer. It looked to be fine at first until I looked at it in a certain light. The problem is they don't blend anything. They just paint the damaged area and about a 4" circle around the damage giving you a totally...

I had a strange knocking on mine recently. It turned out to be when the exhaust was fitted the clamp above the beam has been fitted with the bolts facing down. A quick look with a mirror showed witness marks on top of the rear beam. A new clamp fitted with bolts to the side sorted it out.

I had something similar on a MK1 Clio 1.2, it turned out to be something called a throttle potentiometer. I don't know much about them or if cars still have them as my technical knowhow is somewhat limited with Renault's. If I'm wrong, please accept my apologies...

Thanks, Will the Cd player still work though just without the stalk control? Can you get an adapter?

Will the above fit in to my 04 172? I'm just about to buy one on ebay and not sure the any of the connectors were changed. Thanks.

Evening all, Just ordered a set of these. Has anyone ever used Apec brake pads? Been to my local motor parts wholesaler and can get the front pads for around the £20 mark. They said Apec are their premium brand but I have never used them. I only do 15mph to work and back in traffic with the...

Cheers for the advise, I'll have to think what I want. Only had the car since Tuesday so don't want to make any fast decisions and regret it later.

Cheers for the quick reply! I'm not that bothered about subs etc, I'm looking to buy an induction kit so that's the only music I'll need! Thanks.

Evening all, This is my first post on here so apologies if I get it wrong! I picked up my 2004 172 today and it has an after market JVC headunit. My question is, how good or bad are the standard head units? I have had aftermarket headunits in previous cars and they have always attracted...
