Yeah I don't like the idea of fairy liquid as it has a slight abrasive within. Would traffic film remover strip back old wax and polish? As I have endless supplies of this at work :)

If there is a Euro around you, just buy a set, got mine for £15, that will tell you if its them or not, may save yourself £30, if its not them, send them back!

How do you go about stripping it all back mate, do you use some sort of apc? Cheers

I got a scissors one as if you don't have the replace it there is less chance of ruining the boot.

Then the light stays on the dash?

Just go round to a view garages and be interested, they will let you take them for a spin. I tried 5 or 6 before I bought mine.

Ah right, this makes more sense then, so my car has everything but the exhaust system of a 182? ESP has flashed at me once I think, that was in the wet. I try not to drive like a idiot as it costs too much to repair. And I don't try and "light the tyres" at £100 a piece. Lol

Looks sweet mate, I like it a lot. I also like your number plate, so did I, but PC Plod didn't :(

I have the car above, when I bought it I knew it was the last of the 172's being an 2004, and that didn't bother me as I loved the look of the car so much, but couldn't really afford that step up to the 182 at the time. I've been looking in my car and I have all the usual Xenons, climate and...

Yeah a ph1 is the older shape; http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2000-RENAULT-CLIO-SPORT-2-0-16V-172-/160630937146?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item256659963a#ht_1764wt_1156 And this is a ph2 (exactly like mine)...

I picked one up for £6 at my local tool zone store, not the best but but made the job so much easier. Track rod ends on yours?

Liking it a lot mate, looks spot on!

I had this problem, take the top inlet off and I bet one of your HT leads have been crushed. Easily done by the look of it. Who serviced it?

I need an NS one as this is really bad now when warm, but i'd rather change the pair. I've asked Wests Renault and they only do complete wishbones and don't sell them separately which is a little annoying. What have people done in the past? Gone down the after market route or fitted new...

I think he was asking about his splitter though mate? Not for me I'm afraid mate.

Cullompton high street mate! Lots of officers had noticed but never been in a position to pull me over! They look good but not worth the hassle mate, if I've been noticed I'm sure you will too!

Got pulled tonight and told if I am seen with it again, it'll be £60...! So the old one is going back on in the morning! Anyone else been asked to remove recently? Glad he gave me a chance to remove it though!!

Yeah I'd like to know this answer too, I've been using Aqua Wax every time I wash, (twice a week) an it has kept my paint smooth for over 4 months but now I've ran out of it, is Aqua a QD with wax in it, or is it a type of QD?

LOL! I've never understood the bonnet bra thong either tbf! But the pic above doesn't look too bad. But then again I rarely use main beam and never use fog lights apart from trying to blind people that think it's gangsta to ride with sides and fogs! That is all :)

Anyone on here? Sat next to a white Suzuki 4x4 of some sort? I was in a Monaco 172.

Yeah very true!! If it's a sticky piston or seized caliper under hard braking I'm sure it would pull to one side! Are these quite common as I got under my car the other day and my rear calipers look almost new?!

Demon tweeks, you get discount too :)

They are NGKR PFR6E-10. Like these, you can get them anywhere I think. I got mine from Euro Car Parts. EDIT: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/4-x-NGK-PLATINUM-PLUGS-RENAULT-CLIO-2-2-0-00-PFR6E-10-/250403060578?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item3a4d2f7b62

Ideal cheers man!!

Just about to go on a long journey and I don't have the handbook close. Is it 33 on the fronts and 31 for the rears? Cheers

Is there a easy place to jack it up mate? Hopefully mine will be here soon! I'll be doing it over a pit though, make it much easier or not really?

They don't tell you that on Top Gear do they :)

Are the PE2/3's still the best tyre for a Clio or are the Toyos, Hankooks and that just as good? For road use only I mean...!? I have Toyo T1R's ATM and they seem alright?

I don't have a 172 cup but the normal one, and on average I get about 36mpg, on long journeys I get better but it's not too bad! I haven't had many problems with mine touch wood, I did have a problem with my air con but that was only a sensor! Their very nice cars mate, I love mine, well worth...
