yip, ive noticed that black cars are a nightmare to keep clean!

Cheers for your input oilman, very much appreciated

looks cool!!!

Needs to be the same size steel wheel but yes I would imagine they would fit. Why do it though??

I fitted used springs but they came from Cit-ren with a guarantee so I assumed they were ok. the shocks were brand new. Im starting to wonder now though. The strange thing is the back left feels fine, The back right feels soft. I can feel it even when changing lanes on the motorway. Its like...

wiggle the wires and the lights go off!! Well it works for me!!

autoglym bumper care is good but can be a bugger to get off paintwork so be careful!!

def try the top mounts first, not sure about clios but they aren't very expensive on other cars that I have owned. e.g VWs etc

thanks for the replies, was just really wondering if there was a certain oil everyone used for the 20.16v engine. I can get Comma motorsport 5w 50 fairly cheaply so will prob use that and just renault parts for the rest.

Thanks!

As above really, Doing a service and just wondering what Oil is best for the Ph1 172?? Same goes for plugs etc?? Just use renault ones?? Cheers!!!

Keep the Camo wheels!! Totally different!!

me too!! first thing i say to anyone that phones is that the car is as described in the advert and if they want to talk cash then fine but id rather they looked at the car first

I know what your saying mate But to be honest I look at it slightly differently. I've bought and sold a fair few cars in my time and for the most part never had any hassle. Advertise your cars as well as you can and treat every person that phones as a timewaster. That way your not let down...

Some folk have all the luck! Good on you if you buy it mate!! A true bargain!!

ok mate, thanks, ill check that. im hoping its just me imagining things.

As i've mentioned on here previously i recently changed the back shocks and springs on my newly acquired Ph1 172. Now, This has fixed the problem that I originally had (the back end feeling very unstable, even in a straight line). What we found was the drivers side shock had almost completley...

P.S. Does anyone know what the inside of the standard middle section looks like?? (i.e. just a straight pipe with baffles??) Id go at the shape of it now to try get some sort of idea but its dark! I could poss just get my local exhaust specialists to copy it!??

Fellas, Once again thanks for the input! Without it I would have probs went out and spent my cash on a ktec stealth. Now I'll have to seriously consider looking elsewhere. Chris mate, yours looks spot on and if I could get it looking like that then I would be happy with the ktec. But if as Sym0n...

Thanks mate, i'll keep that in mind. All they go on about in their adverts are quality of fit etc.

Alright folks, I know this has been discussed before but I cant really find any definative answers. My standard system has now seen better days and is blowing pretty badly at the centre section. Its starting to affect my MPG so I'll need to do something about this sooner rather than...

yeah mat it was an X plate in the autotrader with not much info in the ad. The trader assured me it was in excellent condition. Funny how I walked away after looking at it for less than five minutes!!

perspex windows, fibre glass doors and bootlid

ok, cool! Cheers again!:cool:

wow! they must have been fked!!! Im just really happy that I'e gotten to the bottom of the prob as i havent had the car long. I love it to bits but the prob was starting to take the shine off it for me.

I used to have a saxo vts which is very similar to the gti. I've just bought a Ph1 172 and had to go to manchester for it as there was 1 for sale in glasgow but was a bit of a dog. In comparrison Id say the Clio feels a bit more solid on the road, suspension is def stiffer. To be honest the...

Just to report back for anyone having similar problems. Changed both rear shocks today and it def seems to have fixed it! The shocks we took off could very easily be compressed and the new ones are pretty solid.

Just done this and yes the bottom part of the wheel is a bit tricky but turned out ok. Its not slipery at all to be honest as it is rubber. (looks pretty plastiky in the pics) My one problem now is getting rid of the glue. Have tried white spirit and its not shifting it. The wheel feels...

cool! looks a damn site better than having a fked whhel or a stupid cover on like mine at the momment! So you just cut the stitching on the leather?? is there glue underneath???

cheers mate!
