My gfs Dad said he might be able to re gas my air con in my 172, as its just gone all warm (great, now the weather has gone really hot!), but he said something about needing to know what kind of gas it is? Or what number the gas is? Can someone help? Cheers, Steve.

Going up past the Halfords in rush hour a couple of hours ago, saw a Williams (or a blue valver with willy wheels on) in the corner of my eye going the opposite way, had lex-arse rear lights and a big Cliosport sticker in the rear window.

Am in a bit of a situation and would like a bit of friendly advice! I currently own a 51 plate Flame Red 172, and on the 30th of September I am going away travelling for a whole year, so obviously I will not use the car or need it. Now I need to have a bit of a think with what I can do with...

Spotted in the afternoon today near the Tigers ground in Leicester and I followed you all the way up to Narboro Rd, you waved as I did! Lovely looking motor in the flesh, dont like them in pictures but I soon change my mind when I see one...

Went up to near Leeds on Fri & Sat to lower my 172 on some nice spangly FKs and to lower my mates valver too.. Havent got many pics but thought I should post some, will get some more of mine later. http://homepage.ntlworld.com/steviepennack/lowww/16v_ns_back.jpg...

Spotted in Po-Na-Na in Leicester last night trying it on with the dancefloor.... http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y167/Steviep_172/Po-Na-Na%207th%20May/DSC00065.jpg Heh heh heh.... Quality night, though I dont remember much of it. :cool:

Spotted at De Mont Uni this evening when I went to the library, parked up on the kerb, couldnt believe it, finally saw another Cliosport member in Leicester and had the chance to do my own photoshoot.... heh heh... http://homepage.ntlworld.com/steviepennack/m888arc.jpg...

Righty-ho peeps, I prefer the stealth look of the 172, my gf says they look better with an exhaust. If I had one, itd have to be cut into the bumper, Id hate for it to be hanging down... Could a few of you possibly work your magic and photoshop a decent tailpipe onto the back of my 172? Am...

??! Three beeps when i lock her up!? Cant find anything in the manual, am I going mad or is my car trying to tell me something?

Just now this afternoon, in the gleaming sunlight, lovely Mars Red V6 waiting at some lights as I drove by in my red 172, you did look at my car and I was going to wave but was concentrating on not running some people over.

At about midday, saw a fellow flame red mark 2 172! Gave you a thumbs up and you waved back as I passed you on Fosse Rd South (just past the Roxy chippy), and then spotted you car later on about 3.30pm just where Hallam Crescent East is, parked up and I drove by a couple of times and you and...

Saturday afternoon, pulled up beside a phase 1 valver at the roundabout (Red Hill Circle) lights. Had a big white Hillpower.co.uk sticker on the back window. Saw a 53 Cup flash by me (going the other way) that day too, on the A50 in the afternoon.

Had my car for about 3 weeks now and last night I discovered under the passenger seat (whilst looking for a CD for a friend) that I actually have a standard 6 cd changer there! Oh the joy, its like my car has given me a chrimbo pressie... ..or am I just really sad and stupid for not knowing...

Bit obvious where Im going with this but thought I should ask first... Want a 182 rear bumper on my 172, purely for the holes and the exhaust look if I can get a suitable exhaust fitted as well, is it possible? Im guessing they are pretty identical in terms of how they fit on? (Mark 2 172 btw)...

Want a nice spoiler for my RT but should I get one that has a brakelight in it or not? Probably involve drilling a hole in the boot for the wire to get through I would think eh?

Saw a 3 door Mark 1 in Tenerife with 1.7 badges on. It was a rob bacers car so it had a valver bonnet on and sun strip, alloys and stuff, couldnt tell what sort of spec it was, so, anyone shed any light on this? Engine from the R5 or the R19 perhaps?

After my sparkplug-shooting-out-of-head saga the garage have put it back with a helicoil. Also after a lot of hassle with exhausts and whatnot my car is still really REALLY poorly sick!!! Itll start on ignition, and even continue to run if I pull a HT lead out, but the engine vibrates and...

My car is stuck in a garage many miles away and it needs a new centre section of an exhaust, now according to the bloke at the garage there are about 4 or 5 different types of centre section for my clio, its a 1991 1.4 RT and it has a stainless Powerflow backbox, and its missing a cat & centre...

K, this morning, doing about 20 towards a roundabout, saw a lorry coming round so I put it into 1st gear from 2nd and as soon as I put my foot down a bit and let the clutch up something made a bang... Managed to crawl her to an Asda car park, revs were quite high, around 2/3k on idle, all over...

Tried adjusting the tappets on my 91 1.4 RT yesterday, but to no avail, if anything the noise is slightly worse and I tried doing them twice. Firstly I numbered them from the wrong end, from the passenger end first.. Then I realised I had done em wrong so I numbered them from the...

K, much to my delight the local breakers had a P reg Naples Red RSi when I took a quick visit their this afternoon, couldnt have any of the interior :( but I took both the wingmirrors for about £50 for the pair, oh, got the switch too that sits in the drivers door above the leccy window...

Really need some fuggin front components for my Clio RT, what size ones do I need? I bought some Pioneer co-axs a while back and they were a bit too big for the screw holes :oops: so they arent fitted in properly and vibrate like a pneumatic drill.. Thought its about time I spent some money on...

Noticed a few threads/posts about this a while back but cant find them. Basically just getting an aftermarket temperature from Halfords or Maplins and putting the external sensor into the induction kit or thearbouts, to see what effect certain cold air feeds etc have blah blah... Anyone got any...

Me and a mate are in the process of getting some door sills made up with the ClioSport name on and possibly a RenaultSport name on too, maybe with little ClioSport/RenaultSport logos in the backgroud. Would be etched writing on polished or the other way around, you get my drift.... Anyway...

Cars lowered 40mm at front on Avo springs, and the torsion bar is reset to match. Really need some new shocks as the ride quality is bouncy, awful, noisy, squeeky and generally shat. Quotes from Carnoisseur were KYBs @ £200, Gaz @ £250 (althou there is a 3 week waiting time), and Konis @ £250...

As above, to go on a phase 1 RT... Bump strips are for a 5 door and would prefer them to have RT written on the side cheers. Oh, might be after a phase 3 front bumper too, and fogs.. Daz..? Anyone else with one going cheap? Top half of dash with the extra space bit, either for the 3 oil...

What should I use to get rid of these holes in my boot strip? Debadged it, just need to fill the holes up then I wanna respray it. http://members.lycos.co.uk/stevepennack/bootstrip1.jpghttp://members.lycos.co.uk/stevepennack/bootstrip1.jpg...

Got some 16v brakes from a R19 and need to whack them on my RT sometime next week. Read somewhere that Ill need new bolts cus "the RT ones will be too long", what bolts are these and how many of them will I need from Renault? Master brake cylinder, if it needs changing cus of long pedal...

K, Ive jus lowered the rear of my car by 35mm, (roughly), but the drivers side rear tyre scrapes like a tw*t on the top of the arch. Will new shocks help, or could I have lowered it too much? The passenger side is fine, but the drivers rubs like a c**t!!!!! Maybe I should get some lower...
