A couple of weeks ago my screen washer bottle cracked and as the dealer wanted to check it out for one day to make sure.....(even though I told them I could see the water dripping out between the wheelarch and tyre) then another day to fit it plus a lot of running about, I decided to order the...
I filled my windscreen washer bottle the other day and havent used it for a few days because the weather has been dry and this morning when I went to use it nothing squirted out and when I checked the bottle it looked empty. I filled it right up and I could see the level was slowly reducing so...
I know there are probably old posts about this, but as I have now done a bit over 6,000 miles, it is time for a service and I just want to make sure that the right oil is used, so which is the right/best oil for the Mk2 172 please guys? I think the garage put in Mobil 1 at 3,000 miles but I...

Look how well this V6 has kept its body shape after rolling over! It is for sale £10,995 to be repaired.

It is now official that from today 1st October, we can all take our BRAND NEW cars to the good independent garages for service work, repairs etc without the warranty being affected in any way. From now on I think that main dealers will perhaps think about reducing some of their service costs...
The good news is that I still have a lovely little black172, the bad news is that I wont be getting the V6 because it isnt full UK spec as was described to me the first time I went to see it.
Initially it was priced at £21,995 and I told the salesman I saw that day, that I had seen an advert...
This car is looking for a good home! Should I get it or would it be wasted on me? Although it is a Mk 1 V6 it is brand new, unregistered with 3 miles on the clock but since I dont drive too many miles would it be better waiting for a better home where it can be driven in a speedier manner...
Anyone from here at Knockhill today for the F3/GT Championship?
I have just been talking to some friends who have been to watch the car racing at Knockhill today and apparently the V6 Clio didnt complete its race (32/44 laps) neither did the Jag XK8 (2/44 laps). It was up against a Golf GTi...
Bit bumpy though!!

As you have had your Mk1 V6 for some time, what do you think about the excellent reviews published recently in Autocar and Auto Express on the Mk2 which will be available shortly?
As these reviews state that much has been improved on the new car, does it make you feel as though you now...
Hi Jeremy
Last night whilst parking at the SECC Glasgow, a guy a couple of cars along from us was parking a delicious looking BLUE Mk1 V6 Clio, so obviously I waited for him to get out so that I could ask him about his car. He reckons that he has one of only EIGHT Illiad blues made and sold...
How can I make my 172 look as chunky as the gorgeous new V6 I looked at today, as it sat in the showroom, begging me to take it home for plenty of TLC? It is silver but I really like it, no not like, I LOVE it!

Pic of the K-Tec grille you were trying to locate! The colour isnt good because of the light. Bigger pic on "exterior mods" - your original post.

Does anyone know who owns this Clio? A friend took some pics at the last Crail Thrash a few weeks ago and couldnt resist taking a pic of this one with four exhausts and some different bits and pieces added on.

Do you know anything about water ingress in some 172s, in particular the Mk1 and some Mk2 models?
When I bought mine in January 2002, the spare wheel well had about four inches of water in it and when I mentioned it here, a few others had experienced it too. My car went into the dealer...
Being a member of Which? I was just having a look online, and happened to notice among the list of recalls in 2002, the Clio!
Has anyone here had a recall concerning the accelerator cable? This was copied from Which?

Accelerator cable may break

My car has been in to my friends local (good) garage for a thorough first service and he told his mechanics not to book any more 172s in as mine was a bu*ger to work on! He said that it is a good job that mine is the only one around here!
Apparently it took him 25 minutes just to get the oil...
