also would appreciate some help in finding new hubs, its for a 2002 172 NON Cup, am I right in thinking it is 54mm bolt spacing? Thanks James

Hi, I took my wheel hubs off today to get new bearing pressed in, unfortunately the mechanic managed to bend the part that the brake carriers bolt onto... It was a job done on the quiet for free so I couldnt complain too much however in the process my new bearings were busted quite badly...

anywhere I can buy a couple of these? Cheers

Anyone know where I can get these quickly? yozzasport.co.uk seems to be down...

ha, just did a search this was probably mine, now got a pro-speed :D

Its a horrific job but ok if you have patience and flexible wrists! and something like a 30mm open spanner or something

Right, this definitely isn't the PAS pump or the wheels rubbing on the arches. It seems to come from the drivers side and I have tried replacing the drive shaft which didn't help. Thanks James

anybody have any more suggestions on the cause of this? cheers Its standard height and standard wheels so it cant be wheels on arches right?

Ah, this is entirely possible as I did it myself - I followed the guide on here and used a new tensioner, however I did use a cheap torque wrench. Can you please explain how it can be cocked up? any idea how to check or rectify the problem? I remember having to put the little "tooth" of the...

it sounds almost like a metallic squeak though, its strange, I will see if it is rubbing on the inner arch

I wont be trying a garage until it is my absolute last resort - just dont trust them or like paying through the nose. Sorry if my "getting shirty" offended anyone - its just im used to a little better response, coming from 106oc and s2ki Is there an FAQ of problems on this site? or a guides...

as title really, mostly when reversing but slightly noticeable when going forward with tight lock. I have replaced the driveshaft and inner track rods. any ideas?

Got a video but strangely it didnt capture the noise, i blame the iphone... strange as the noise is very loud. any ideas without a video, may try again

I will try to get a video of the noise - good idea. Thanks James

I thought this forum would be fairly knowledgable and helpful, can anyone confirm this? lol

really?

nobody have any suggestions on what to check?

anyone?

oh rite, any other ideas?

Hi All, I have a strange noise that seems to be coming from the exhaust, its like a loud hum that appears at 3krpm then goes and comes back as the revs increase, the higher the gear - the louder the noise - sort of like "whir whir whir whir" the noise goes away when the clutch is...

Re: ***How much is my car worth?*** how much do you think my 172 would be worth? its a non cup ph2 in black with xenons, 2002 with 56k miles and FSH, the downside of it is the 7 previous owners...

Yeah it could be wheel bearing I suppose, Im sure when you put the clutch in the noise remains - I will try to confirm this soon. I remember speaking to a motor factor about wheel bearings and they said that the wheel bearings are normal (ie press into the hub) and that they arent in the disk...

Hi, Just noticed a strange noise coming from seemingly the rear of the 172, Its a sort of droning noise, it appears at around 40mph and it changes pitch when accelerating, it starts like wuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuum then as you speed up becomes wuuuuuum wuuuuuum wuuuuum wuuuum wuum wum wum wum...

Hi, My rear exhaust mount has broken so I ordered up a new one, I have a rather pap powerflow exhaust and upon trying to fit the new mount I realised that it is the wrong size/type. The type I need holds the exhaust from the uses the same fixings as the standard square shaped mount but seems...

How exactly do I check the rear shocks? did it again today, very scary to drive...

Hi All, Im noticing a bit of almost looseness from the steering on my 172 ph2, the car doesnt feel as sharp as I think it should... And whilst going around a long quite fast sweeping corner I felt the most unnerving thing, when driving around the corner with slight right hand lock on the...

Just a quick thread to say hi :) embarking on my first clio ownership experience... coming from a 106 GTi which I very much loved: http://www.106owners.co.uk/forums/threads/36159-Fantom-Black-GTi-(Lots-of-Pics)-Now-on-OZ-SL-s-D The clio I have has some slight issues which I will be...

I did a bit of a facepalm when I realised mine only worked with the headlights on, although it was a double facepalm - one at myself then a bigger one at Renault...

Yeah sorry forgot to mention I have a 172 ph2, Just a month before ESP was standard... I think it would be a useful thing to have aswell as cruise control. I wont be buying another clio, I would like to find out whats involved :)

Hi everyone, I have searched but cannot find a definitive answer, especially with regards to ESP. So does anyone know what it would take to retrofit ESP? Thanks James
