All sorted now thanks for the help. Ended up having to saw some of the rubber as it had seized solid.

Brilliant worked a treat. Thanks for that. Any easy method for the gearbox end? Does it split?

Thanks I'll give it a go!

Hi, anyone have any tips for removing the original metal and rubber Bush from a dogbone from a 172 cup? Hammer doesn't seem to budge it. Pretty limited on the tool front too. Thanks

Also, cheapest I've found is £240. Anyone got any better than this? Part is new and genuine.

Apparently it's 8200225212 if anyone is interested. Quoted by renault Swansea.

Anyone got the part number handy for a complete O/S driveshaft for a 172 cup? Thanks

Arrghhhh I wish I could afford it! Booking trip to Italy this week so can't risk another spend! I'll need new front tyres too in the next couple weeks.....

Thanks ilovewilly (funny stuff!). I've sent it and rung them to check if they can remove. It was solid, wouldn't budge! See what they say.... I've ordered fresh fluid to flush the lot anyway, if I didn't have to order handbrake cables too, I'd get some braided lines, but this is already...

Thanks

Best place for handbrake cables for 172 Cup? Genuine only?

Thanks for the reply! I eventually dug in and had a go. Did the brake pipe the same way, bit at a time and it eventually came. I didn't do anything with brake pedal, but I saw someone else had used a latex glove with elastic bands to seal the brake pipe and stop it dripping. Seems to have...

Hi all, I'm changing my brakes on my clio and gotten as far as the caliper being seized and needing removal, so that I can see if it can be repaired or whether a new one is needed. That's all that's left to remove is the handbrake cable from the bottom and what I'm assuming is the brake line...

Thanks for replies. I'm giving it another go at the moment. One with no lacquer and one layered with the correct amounts per instructions, just to see difference. It's nice to learn because it's a handy skill. Makes all the difference when trying to get your car looking good! I have an mx5...

Watch "Paint Chip Touch-up -- /DRIVE CLEAN" on YouTube - Paint Chip Touch-up -- /DRIVE CLEAN: http://youtu.be/6xi3xmeO6C4 This is what I followed as well as numerous forum searches. Literally half I found mentioned mixing the lacquer and paint. Didn't specify if it was metallic or not though...

It's not blistering it's just the way the photo looks. Pretty adamant it hasn't been sprayed before - just because of the shear number of stone chips and general low mileage. Trying to do things on a budget. Not something I feel needs doing, just something to try tackling whilst the sun is...

From what I found on the Internet, seemed to be a divide between people adding one after the other, mixing together and not applying lacquer at all. Might try one of each way as well, plenty of stone chips to test on!

Hi, Had a go at repairing some paint chips on my bonnet. Had the paint chip kit from paint4u which contained everything for about £15. Ive cleaned and smoothed the chip before hand, before mixing some lacquer and paint and applying to the chip. I've finished rubbing down and the result is...

Posted a bit too soon. Just found this... http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?t=738615

Was there any progress on this? When I operate my rear washer jets, the fronts squirt instead! Haven't had chance to look yet, any ideas? 172 cup '53

Hi folks. For anyone after a driveshaft for a 172 cup. Val Auto-parts in Carmarthen sourced a new one for around £80 (+ £15 sur) for next day. Great service, no quibble returns if necessary and miles cheaper than the genuine one Renault quoted me at £272. Two year guarantee, splines and...

Thanks. Assuming it'll be fine after the oil change. Best to check the sump plug/dipstick in the morning then!

Hi all Been a regular visitor to the site in the past for advice for friends cars. The community has a real buzz and has really helpful members from what I've seen! As I bought another clio, I thought I would join cliosport to complement the car. Recently indulged in my second clio. An RS172...
