my engine cover painted yellow for sale. 99p starting and no reserve.
My car is currently away at the repairs waiting to be viewed by the enginer.
Can anyone in the know gauge a cost for the following to be reapired or will they write it off?
Parts to be replaced:
-front fog & surroung
-top grill
-bottom grill
-radiator
-number plate
-cv gaitor o/s
-3x tyres...
i have got a load of grease behind my OSF alloy which i presume has come from the cv joint as the cv boot gaitor looks intack, no splits etc.
It can only be the cv joint in that area can't it?
How easy are they to change and the procedure?
Thanks Shaw
I had a bit of an incident with a hedge and a bag piece of road which has left my car poorly.
My rear wheel is sitting at an angle like its toeing in at the top. Someone said it could be torsion bar knackered, is this right?
anyone know of any breakers in west mids/worcestershire area with a 172 in stock which is open of a sunday, urgently need some parts.
Or even a normal clio will do.
quick question,
are the 172 arch liners front and rear the same as any other model clio? also the plastic undertray which fixes to the bottom of the bumper?
car: mk2 172
I have a slight problem and wondering if any of you can shed any light.
When i put my head lights on my interior dials and digital display (radio, temp etc) dims. only started doing it the last few days.
Anyone got any ideas?
Can someone please pm what they paid for 4 wheels to refurbed by fred in charcoal, anthacite or simliar colour on 15's?

just took car in for MOT and it has failed.
Failed on ball joint and cv joint which are a result of my mishap at FCS track session. At least it wasn't driveshaft which was damaged coz could cost alot more.
Costing me £190 including the mot cost.
I ahve currently have xp home edition on my computer and i need to re format my comp. My mate has given me his xp proffesional cd to reformat but will me home edition serial code work? The reason I ask is becuase I need it validated so that I can get service pack 2.
Am i right in saying that the mk2 clio 172 has a one piece driveshaft and cv joints? Someone told me that to replace the cv joint the driveshaft and the other joint has to be replaced aswell.
Is this true?
What sort of price should i be looking at?
Thanks

I went on track today at fcs and managed to spin off onto the grass. It now makes a knocking noise from the front left wheel area and i can hear it and feel it through the steering wheel. Any ideas?
Just trashed my eagle f1 giving it some on the right handers. Only brought the tyre last weekend.
I did my oil change yesterday which as I was pouring I realised I had gone to far. The car is mk2 172 which i understand takes 4.9l with oil filter. I have put 5.2l in. will this do any harm or am i better draining some out?
I have dip sticked the car a it is reading over by about 5mm.

Maybe someone who did it last year could shed some light.
