Christs sake its only a cold air feed. Tape measure and a bit of gumption come on .....

I got my pipe from Homebase. Loads of sizes to choose from and miles cheaper than getting it from a car joint

Could be a broken spring

Standard Clio Haynes manual covers the majority of things associated with a 172 anyway.

Quite amazing that they owned up !! Good result :)

No its totally fine. Dealer said the rubber was split and said i need them replacing. Iv checked all around the rubber and its fine!! Dont know what there going on about lol Never heard anyone post up about this axle bush before so was wondering if this is a common part that needs...

Anyone ??

Went for a service on the 172 and apparently i need new axle bushes (trailing arm bushes) as there starting to split my local dealer say. New one on me this so i decided to decline there offer of handing over 240 notes and have a look to see what the 'problem' was exactly. couldnt really...

63mm ish at a guess

Its just a piece of silicone. Cut and shape as required

Basically i want to be able to put the recordings from my camcorder on the net ie ZippyVideo's Putfile etc etc Ive downloaded the recorded vids from camcorder to windows movie maker but on putting the required vids to a file, i cant upload them to the usual video download sites due to them...

shop about I just come off the back of a 84k service and the difference between 2 local Renault franchised dealers 36 miles apart was £70 !!

Loads of info on these pages about them. Best bet is to do a search. If you know folk in the trade its gonna help a lot. If not could be big money

Got a briefing on how to do it from the mechanic but looks like a complete **** of a job to do plus needs doing right so gonna let them do it haha

Is this the modding for retards question area ?? ;)

Not up here where i am they dont. They still give you cash even if they pick it up !! Most weigh the car and pay you accordingly and others just give you a rough price There's a boom on in the scrap metal market at the mo

Took 2 cars to be scraped the last month. The 1st was a mates and he got the car for free so there was no documents. Just had to say i consented to the scrapping of the car on a form and that was it. The 2nd one i handed the V5 over and that was it. Got 60 notes for the 2 cars even...

My dealership want £240 for supply and fitting If its easy to do without messing up il have a bash myself. Just the thing of making a mistake and the belt comes off into the cambelt worries me some what. Need to see how easy it is 1st :)

Can anyone give me any advice on changing the auxiliary belt and tensioner on a Clio 172?? Are there any specialist tools needed ?? Just been told i need one pronto by my Reno garage cheers

I see weight saving potential lol Where can those batteries be bought? What sort of price?? :)

Off the top of my head im sure its 2 per port, 4 wires into it in total. Could be 8 wires tho. Been a long time since ive had the dash top off. Whats the maximum amount of wires there meant to hold before they become ineffective at their intended job?

Get some pictures up :)

Y 2001. One owner from new (me) coming up for 92k on the clock. Gear knob mint Steering wheel is pretty mint apart from me getting a temper on and shoving the dash top in over it and gouging a few lines in it. Seats mint apart from some of the blue leather colour wearing off the lower...

Would seem like it lol No been using Silkolene. From the first day i started to change my own oil its been like this. Why i ask is i thought this was ''normal'' for these, all be it a bit strange lol, but my mate who works as a trainee mechanic said something about taking a pipe off...

Why when i give my 172 a oil change does it take ages before the oil reaches the sump? Takes about 2 hours + to drop down! Should i be taking a breather pipe off or something?

Still not gonna help you on a quarter mile tho is it ! People mod the engine of there Clio for all sorts of reasons

Exactly plus no two cars are the same. One car might need 1.5k spent on it to get to 200, another might need 3.5. Its impossible to pigeon hole a car as there's a million and one factors to think about. I bought a rover on the cheap with a HG failure as a second car. Went on a rover...

Is it?? im speaking from experience, the experience it cost me to get to 200 bhp with all the hassle of getting the car spot on along the way. Its taken over a year to get it running right. ''IMO'' it is a waist of money. 3k for arguments sake can buy you a car that will piss on any 172...

This is the real truth and that minus the hassle involved of getting it just right ect. Dont waist your money.

Re: RR results for 1*2s It wont blow your socks off but yes you can feel a difference. Its just all the hassle with it that you have to weigh up all the pro's and con's. I had a mate who fitted mine on the cheap and a mate who was a welder so mine was pretty easy going to do
