Silver 182, lowered, French Plates, 53 Plate, aftermarket exhaust. Having some nice motorsport with a Black Civic Type R (where I was) and a 106 GTi... Good run, just wish I was out in the 172 last night!

Can someone clever be so kind to tell me the part number for the interior fan/sensor for the climate control on the 172. Its the one inside the light unuit. Its the one that commonly buzzes annoyingly (although mine aint doing that!) Mine climate seems to think there is a 10C difference between...

http://www.pistonheads.co.uk/sales/428713.htm This is my mates Civic Type R Anniversary, it truly is mint. Big Wheels, Big Brakes, Exhaust, De-Cat, Air Filter, Tinted windows. Call him for more details! I can vouch for this car it really is mint, he really has looked after it. Will probably...

After changing my front brakes to Brembo HC and EBC Green's and getting a great improvement in braking performance I am tempted to upgrade the rear to at least EBC Green Stuff Pads. The Q is how much load do the rear brakes take ? Can I swap the solid discs out without swapping the...

I think one of my engine mounts might be on its way out, i dont get knocking under hard acceleration, but if i let off at around 5500 rpm the engine does move a bit and i do get a bit of vibration through my gearstick. Been reading through the posts on here, and it seems there are 3 engine...

Hi all, Need to swap out my front discs and pad's, would you replace with standard parts or uprated? Read some mixed reviews about Brembo Disc's and also some of EBC Green Stuffs... The car is for road use only, and rare "spirtied driving".... What's the most cost effective way to get...

Castrol SPF Plus Dot 4 - for standard use ? Around £10 a litre, is this what people use ??

Private plate as above, think you had a sticker of some sort on the side window (drivers side). I was in the Black 172 myself.

Ok so my climate control seems to have some issue which i will try and describe. Cold Air is Fine. Anything from mini to 21 is fine. However, I only get any real heat out of it when its on maxi. As soon as i drop it to 26 it feels like it drops about 10 degrees! However, if i have the window...

Are they dreaming or smoking dope when they put the signs up. Just seen at my local Renault - 04 Black 172, Very Good Condition, unknown mileage as its still waiting prep etc..... £7,999!!!! As if they'll ever get anywhere near £8,000 for that. I paid £6,000 for mine on a 53 with 23k!

Just been looking under my car and the hanging bolt and rubber bush thats supports the standard back box, to me seems to have perished beyond belief! The reason i did this was when i was four up with a boot full, i was getting noticebly more exhuast noise, from seeing what ive seen today i think...

Ok peeps, after some wisdom. My exhaust ticks all the time when i turn it off after any length of journey and any sort of driving style. Now on previous cars, if i have been driving hard it would tick as its something to do with the gas particles expanding or something when the exhuast is...

Spotted. 172 Xclusive, dark green, cream leather interior. X Reg. Morrisons Supermarket, Nantwich.

Seen as there is a post for 182 mileage and us who own other vehicles arent allowed to post there ;), we'll have our own! So lowest current mileage and year/model of car. Looking for Any Clio, any age, just gotta be low mileage.... Ok I'll start 53 Reg 172 FF - 24,500 :)

Spotted on A500 Between Stoke and Junction with A34. I was in the black 172 behind you....

Ok i noticed something very strange on my 172 today. With the lights on when I wash the windows the lights will usually wash, but today they didnt, so as i knew it had been a while since i last filled my washer bottle, i filled it. And guess what as soon as I did my headlight washers started...

Hi all, Im after a set of BLACK mats for my 172 - Nothing too fancy just plain black if possible and with fitting points to secure to car, or some decent anti slip on the bottom of them. I've seen the Group Matz and dont fancy spending anywhere near that. There are some sets on Ebay for around...

Hi all, Do i need a specific adaptor to install an after market headunit into a 172 ? Do i need an ISO Adaptor? Im not bothered about losing the steering wheel controls..... Badger

Just had a go at trying to get a good 0-60 time out of my 172, but my start was seriously slowed down by the damn traction control, turning it off just generates lots of smoke... What is the ideal rev's to hold at before dropping the clutch and going for it ? I had a couple of go's with my mate...

A couple of weeks ago I posted about a problem with my passenger side Xenon light, I've had it in Renault and they have diagnosed the fault as a BALLAST RESISTOR, now to replace this part they want £269 (Parts, Labour + VAT) :eek: Thats on top of the £59.22 they have charged me today to find out...

Help! My passenger side Xenon light has failed, it flickered for a bit, but has now stopped working completely. I've read through various posts and have heard many things mentioned, such as fuses, bulbs, ballasts etc... I have also spoken to Renault who say there are only two parts there...

Morning all, I need to replace my headlight washers as the directional jets have gone walkabouts, I've got replacement ones from renault no problems, but how on earth do you get the damn things out of the bumper ? :mad: I've butchered my old one to death with grips and pliers and it just wont...

Hi all, Is it possible to get a height adjuster for the passenger seat, same as is on the drivers in a FF 172 ? I'm sat nice and low but my passengers heads are near touching the cieling! Badger

Hi all, Who has purchased, either when car was purchased, or off own back after, an extended warranty? One that covers you at any Nationwide VAT Reg Garage... I'm looking at getting one of these, just wanted to get a feel for a good one. Thanks, Badger

Full Fat 172 in Black for sale in Chesterfield, any bodys old car from here? Its got 23,000 miles on looks to be a minter.

Got a very noise idle on tickover when warm, only occurs on idle (800 rpm) its ok at anything over 1100 rpm, smooth when driven etc and doesnt miss or splutter. Garage seem to think its the cam followers worn away and need to replaced, anyone heard of this or had a similiar issue ? Badger

172 (53 Plate) very noisy on idle (around 800-850rpm) when warm, almost sounds like a diesel, but once the rev's get above 1200rpm its ok, my feeling is oil pressure maybe. Anyone experienced anything similar or know the answer ? It sounds to be coming from the rockers/cams sort of area. All...

How accurate do you guys reckon the computer is in regards to mileage remaining in the tank ? For example, my 172 reads 1/4 of a tank on the guage, but the computer claims to have 150 miles left ? Is that possible ? Dave

Where can i get one from for a 172, the standard one is a bit longer than i'd like, and on Ebay all thats listed are chrome ones, which wouldnt look like on a black car... Any ideas ? Dave

Hello Everybody, I've just (today) purchased a 53 Plate Clio 172 in Black, I dont even pick it up until next Saturday and here I am on the forums already!
