    Anyone bought anything interesting recently? I splashed out on some Colx and Sonm. I think either if not both of these will turn x100 by the end of the year.

    Another Impact Wrench question...

    I agree and disagree with this statement in equal measures. I use an impact driver for 8 hours a day and yes the proper sockets are softer and deform over time and are ultimately a consumable part (I get through around 3 a year) Normal sockets are less forgiving and that force results in the...

    USING A LOT OF WATER! Head Gasket??

    Wouldn't worry too much about mustard on the oil cap. But if you have mustard on your dip stick then yes you have a blown head gasket or warped head. I fixed a 1.2 Clio with same symptoms 2 weeks ago, suspected head gasket but it was a cracked thermostat housing and failing coil pack. £15 and...

    Got in on the Electroneum Ico in october. Price was 1 cent per ETN plus 50% bonus. In december it went up to 24 cents but has fallen steadily since then. From what ive read experts think we have 2 weeks left of correction (downward or calm) before the market heads north again. Predictions are a...

    Bitcoins (and other crypto currencies)

    I invested £400 that was briefly worth £13500. I'm holding out for around £50000 which I estimate I'll see later this year.

    Missing my Clio, might get another

    Dont buy a 197.. the extra weight makes it feel like it needs another 100bhp. Will out handle a 172 all day long but doesnt feel anywhere near as exciting.

    Clio GT 128 (Why the hate?)

    derogatory comments aside. Having owned a 1.2, 1.4,1.6.. three 172 Cups, a 182 and a 200 cup. You'll understand "why" the second you get behind the wheel of an RS the difference is biblical.. anything less is pretty much a non event.

    diy valves

    The dephaser and cam gear have to come off before you can go deeper into the engine. My immediate thoughts. If your engines broken buy a new one they are cheap as chips.

    Cam belt + Aux belt on a Cup?

    Cam belt + Aux belt on a Cup?

    Any body know someone in the southwest that I can pay to do a cam belt change whilst supplying parts? The closer to Bristol the better in an ideal world. Ta muchly

    172 exclusive value

    With the belts done I'd say it's worth £2k. Without the belts I can't think of any reason why it wouldn't be worth £600 less. These cars are often bought with the heart not the head so if it's worth it to you then go for it.

    I'm guessing it was a heavy set dude with rough hands and a look in his eye that said "this ain't my first rodeo" he's guna be sore tomorrow!

    Video about a man and his Clio 172

    Very distinct filming style I think you have real talent. Would like to see your interpretation of a track day.

    New to Clio Sports

    Accelerates harder. Just offering a little advice from personal experience. The 16's on a 182 weigh an absolute ton so in my eyes are by no means an upgrade. If you arnt a fan of 15's I'd say the 16's from a 182 trophy or 172 Cup are the next best option as these are very much in keeping with...

    If you are changing the wheels I'd look at a set of 15's. If you want to keep the Oem look Then Oz F1 in 15 are a good bet. Other popular choices are Speedline 2118's or Team Dynamics Pro Race 1.2 All good choices

    3/8" impact sockets

    Yea when I'm working on the car I pretty much only use chrome sockets as my impact sockets arnt usually deep enough. I use an impact socket for scaffolding all day every day and after a while the square side of the socket deforms and you need a new socket. I've never seen this happen to a...

    3/8" impact sockets

    youll be fine using halfords sockets with 135nm. Been abusing my halfords set on my makita 450nm 1/2 inch for years and all is good.

    New Owner 172 - bit concerned.....

    Sounds like the release bearing. The dealer is only obliged to fix what's gone wrong i.e. The release bearing but I'd ask him if he would fit a clutch whilst he's in there (clutch at your cost)
