Ok Fred cheers, you do seem to be the closest and easiest to get to. do you know if the car would be ok to drive? all the fluid has gone and i get a burning smell coming from somewhere, not sure if thats the pump burning itself out. Gonna look into hiring a car transporter too
all the specialists on here are too far away, plus can't really drive the car now so need somewhere local. I was meant to ask them if it was an aux kit or just the aux belt on the quote but forgot, probably just the belt going by the price. They are good respectable garage though, not just the...
My power steering pump failed yesterday so thought i may aswell get the cambelt changed at the same time. Got a quote today for £714:eek: all in. After i picked myself up off the floor and had a closer look at the price breakdown i thought it wasn't actually too bad.
Price Breakdown inc. VAT...
As the title says, it gets louder as the revs get higher when turning the wheel. the noise is like an electric wood planer planing a door down, thats the best i can describe it. also as i pulled onto my driveway their was a burning plasticy smell coming from somewhere.
Probably nothing to do...
Its not really a problem but just wandering if all 172's are like this. My wipers sweep towards the passenger side instead of the drivers side, is this normal? anyway to change them around or would it mean a new wiper motor
Mine are adjusting all the time, wether the lights are on or off, also with just the ignition on without engine running. I always thought it was just normal.
this may be in the wrong section but didn't there used to be a photo gallery somewhere on this site showing all the different types of clio's? anyway, I'm looking for 172 flamer pics coz i cant decide which wheels to buy, Got my eye on a set of prorace 2 but not sure if they will look a bit...
Re: xzenon bulbs
DO NOT ORDER THESE SIDE LIGHT BULBS!! THEY DO NOT FIT. THEY'RE ABOUT 1mm TOO WIDE TO FIT THROUGH BULB HOLE

Excellent bulbs though!
I have have 17's now, they are big but i dont want to have to buy another set of tyres.
and they are £350 delivered, is that a good price? i thought it was
Finally found some alloys i like, and for a good price too. Just wandering what peoples opinions are on them. 17" in white fitted to a 2004 flame red 172, please dont say i should get 16's instead because i already have a set of tyres to go on these.
all comments welcome good or bad
I've never had a problem with MOTs. just taken a quick mobile pic of just my side lights with these 5 LED SMD bulbs fitted http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/2pcs-5-LED-SMD-White-Xenon-T10-w5w-501-sidelight-Bulbs-/160468048077?pt=UK_ConsumerElectronics_Batteries_SM
And both sidelights and xenons...

I'm waiting delivery of these bad boys http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=250669590451&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT
I have the same as these now but with only 5 leds on each bulb.
And about to order these...
Did any clio's come with power folding mirrors? I could do with fitting a set to my 2004 172, I've searched the forum and ebay but couldn't find anything.
cheers
