    Help please,rear silencer box rotted off!!

    The 4K rattle will stop with a different exhaust! Will reappear (or potentially reappear) with another Renault OEM catback system.

    Help please,rear silencer box rotted off!!

    I had the same late last year, went down the Prospeed route. £319 (should be £380 but CS Discount!) and they build it right in front of you. You can choose the sound as well...but it sounds much better than standard. Plus, the standard exhaust uses the standard mounts, and its too heavy for...

    05 plate 1.4 question

    Had a scan at lunch time, with the engine idling, drivers side mount is stuffed. Also, he had the rubber bit at the top of the suspension sitting about 1cm away from the top part in the engine bay! I've told him to call Renault Assistance, and don't risk it...as didn't look too healthy, just...

    05 plate 1.4 question

    Mate has come into work, he was coming in as normal when the ECU light started flashing, gearstick vibrating like crazy (no noise detected as he had his music on!) didn't seem to be at any particular level of revs. He changed gear and the vibrating dropped, but then came back again!!! Any...

    172 rear shocks

    Brand New, straight out of the box...takes a couple of days turnaround, ordered from Renault via Trade, then they put a couple of quid on top to sell on. They are based just outside Wolverhampton (W.Midlands)

    prospeed exhaust system vs miltek exhaust

    Cup for sale as a "club sport"

    Yeah, there's no middle seat belt or any headrests as per the normal 172...another reason of weight saving!

    Cup for sale as a "club sport"

    He's also advertised it as having '5' seats...but surely a cup only has 4????? Does this person who can't spell even know anything about the car???

    prospeed exhaust system vs miltek exhaust

    Likewise. Had the Prospeed for about 6 weeks now, sounds So much better than standard, the 4K rattle has gone...and it may be psychological, but the engine feels more responsive! And going for it at full pelt sounds good too...and not too intrusive at lower speeds. :) Also, if you speak...

    Refurb ??? midlands

    If you are willing to travel, there's a place in Telford called KN wheels...they do them reasonably cheap, but depends on you. :)

    I wouldn't like to comment! ;) :quiet: Rich, just seeing the way you car always looks made me bin the jet wash and go washing via hand...got some AG stuff...so will be asking you (re: chewing your ear) asking for some advice as and when...as we know the Car Detailing section is your...

    2006 - A Year in Clio Pics

    Yet another questions about starting

    Try another key...see if the issue is key related...if not, at least you can take that out of the equation. I have 4 keys for my car...3 have immobilisers/fobs...the 4th is just a copy because I had my ignition barrel replaced under warranty. Out of the 4 keys, I can only start the car with...

    Best overall exhaust for a 172 FF

    Pro-speed! ;) Likewise :) Sounds better than driving with half an exhaust which left me deaf in one ear!!! ;) ----- Pro-speed (www.pro-speedexhausts.com) are what I went for when my exhaust failed at back end of November! I had the same worry about noise, it is more intrusive than...

    Stripped the interior today + New buckets

    Still not the same weight loss as a Cup! ;) Nice all the same Rob...should have come to Cobra with us all and seen what price they'd have done them for direct...just in case :)

    Shed Motorsport 182 Interior - getting there!

    Also, the misanos normally have carbon backing and leather...but Cobra are starting to offer them (as a cheaper alternative to the top end misanos) with plastic instead of carbon, stainless steel instead of aluminium and vinyl instead of leather...so the seats work out a bit cheaper...£630 with...

    Exhaust for 172 cup

    I got mine at back end of November from Prospeed...with CS discount it should be £380 but he does it for £319. They're in Cardiff...but well worth the drive, plus an off the shelf jobbie is not personal to your car, they build the exhaust while you wait...they have the back box and the section...

    strong wheel cleaner

    Try Fairy power spray, or the Fairy active foam stuff...they need a bit of work, but they do a good job, then as Rich says, seal them or use a barrier then you should be laughing.

    Calling all people with a vee in West Mids!

    Jay, You should have asked ChrisK while he had his V6!!! ;) Mandy reckons you'll need to work out whether its practical enough (what happens if your sick in the car? :dead: ;) Hope you do go for it...although I will hate you for being your age with the potential of a Vee!!!

    Wipers

    All clios do that...this isn't a fault. If you have it on position 2 (full wiping), it will go intermittent when car is stopped but engine still running. when at position 1 (intermittent) it will carry on doing that when car is stopped but engine still running.

    Too old for a 182

    172 Exhaust Blow on rear section joint

    Where you've marked it, follow it to the backbox, and its where the pipe connects to the backbox which came away. A bit nearer to the backbox than where you've labelled.
