    172 - holding back, generally not driving right!

    My 172 just isn't feeling right. Symptoms are this - It feels like it's holding back, but not in a misfire kind of way, when I change gear it's like it's on an elastic wire slightly, as if it's going to stall but doesn't. It doesn't like driving around 1500-2000rpm, just is very jerky. I've...

    Sports Cars in the Park - Newby Hall 2017

    It's pretty irresponsible leaving at full chat, the open field were full of sheep and lambs, wouldn't fancy hitting one of those! Did anyone see the factory matte black Murcielago SV parked on its on practically at the back?!

    Parrot kit - adaptor needed?

    Ive had Parrot kits in my previous Clios, but for some reason I'm sure they needed a loom adaptor, but I can't find one in my bag of wires, so I plugged it in without, but no sound. Can someone confirm that a wiring loom adaptor is required before I order one! Thanks

    RS Clio 172 Storm Grey Track toy

    So interested, a mate messaged me a screenshot off FaceBook - seems a company are giving away the 'Nardo' 172 After looking into it further, I looks like they're actually making a Nardo 172, but have used photos of this car parked on my drive, and also one of your arty shots. I personally don't...

    My latest 172 - Showing her some love!

    After owning various different 172s, a 182 and a 200, I generally sell them and move away from Clios, but always seem to end up back! Anyhow, this is my latest As my Mrs' MK7 Golf R had just gone back, and we'd just taken delivery of a Tiguan, I don't need a big car, so the brief was simple -...

    RS Clio 172 Storm Grey Track toy

    Man this has come along way! I loved this car, but I suppose this means I'm going to have to change my 'car' from this one, to my latest purchased 172! Great work finding the original pics of it in Monaco!

    Sticky Dash Trim Surfaces

    Has anyone found a solution for the horrible surfaces found on the door pulls, the hazard switch surround and the trim piece below the radio? I think it's where they were once a nice rubber type finish, but 15 years has taken its toll, and now they're a horrible scratched sticky mess!! Thanks

    Nice car that ;) I changed the gearbox oil less than 2000miles ago, using genuine Renault stuff, and I literally did an oil an filter change an hour before you picked it up! I'll watch this thread with interest, seems you have good intentions to do the stuff I probably should've done! Gutted...

    Havent been on for a while, been keeping up with the maintenance on her, most recently today, replacing the centre exhaust mount which had gone causing the exhaust to scrape over bumps, and fixing the xenon leveler which came adrift causing my lights to be on the floor! I haven't washed her for...

    New Acquisition

    Ha yea, sold loads of cars before after tarting them up, however new rules re insurance and tax make it trickier. Hopefully by SORNing it, it makes it legal to keep it on my drive
