Sorry to hi-jack. Is the 197 wheel a straight swap?

+1 cooksports. I run them on standard dampers, and watch out for pot holes. They sit lovely too.

I've just got a clio 172 and have been getting 160-180 miles per half tank. I think that's quite good tbh, it's not been too far off my 1.4. Going from a 1.4 to 2.0 has increased the fuel price by 5-10 pounds a week. I can deal with that! And that's vpowazzz. Often see my mpg in the 40's. Must...

I'm instantly put off by him using 'brought' instead of 'bought'

Wow. I love these threads when they pop up.

True! I'll give it another go haha. Ta

It's the fact that the end of the exhaust arm has a huge nub that is massive compared the rubber hole that it goes through. Normally exhausts have a bolt screw on to keep it in place.

I have one of these exhausts, I can't wait to replace it with a stainless. Changing the exhaust hanger is an absolute b**ch on it too.

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/270954051315?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2648 I bought this one as it was recommended by others on the forum. It's a genuine re-con with warranty so I'm going request a replacement. For the mean time I spaced the pulley out with washers and its now...

Looks like my pas pump is slightly misaligned. I thougt they were all pressed to the same distance? Am i able to space it with washers untill I get a new pas pump as this one has warranty.

Will the AA recover it even if it's running and working? It'd be an hour round trip to get all the tools put them in a car before I could even do them in the work car park. The auxbelt is sitting on the tensioner fully and hasn't moved since driving to work this morning. Stuck on what to do.

There is no other way for me to get it to my friends house without driving it. Couldn't be more scared right now as I've only just got the car!!

I'm going to have to drive it to my friends house to take it apart tonight and fix it, there is no other way. I will drive very carefully. fingers crossed :(

Bump. Any ideas?

Hi Guys, Replace the PAS pump and aux belt kit at the weekend, everything was fine until I just went on quite a bumpy cross country 55 mile journey. Now there is a dull knocking noise coming from the aux belt area and I'm wondering if I've done something wrong. I've taken some pictures. I've...

Just ordered the top one, Thanks dude! :D

There is so much wrong about this sentence.

Ahh yeah I took my 1.4 to him, He seems so busy though for just a quick check over.

Awesome thanks Scrooge and RDR. If anyone is in the bedfordshire area and wouldn't mind taking a look i'd appreciate it greatly!

Oh really? Could it be a case of just tightening them up? And where can I get some replacements ones? And test I can do to confirm top mounts? Thanks Ron!

Hi CS, I'm getting a slight knock whenever I engage drive with gears 1, 2, and 3. It sounds like its coming from the drivers side wheel arch. I can't get the noise to replicate in 4th or 5th but maybe that's because the power isn't high enough. It's pretty much instantaneous to when I put my...

I've just got a 172 and I can agree with you. I wasn't sure whether the brakes were sticking but the rear discs, pads, and callipers have just been replaced. It feels like it really holds back in 1st and 2nd but once you get moving it seems ok. I'm hoping it is just the lumpy cold map that...

My deepest apologies Daniel. ;)

other people suck.

This is the exhaust mount. Would you buy another to see if fail again? Some people say just use some pipework? And zippy ties to fix it. How do I do that and is it safe?

A little help with exhaust systems please fellas. I bought my 172 last weekend and its got on it a recently replaced OEM backbox and centre section that every other exhaust fitting place calls the OEM exhaust from Renault (we all know it isn't the OEM exhaust). see picture below, RN903 and...

Yes definitely, make sure the service history is good and frequent. And make sure the belts are/have been done at a specialists! So many failures have been seen, and to risk it being done by a 'local' garage isn't worth it IMO.
