I have not seen them. The headlights are not glass so I doubt youd have any problem with them getting cracked/smashed.

Your car left hand drive??

Did the discs come with bearings?? If not where the new ones fully pressed into the back of the discs.

There should be a washer plate between the back of the disc and the hub. Did someone forget to fit it?

You will need the light stalk with the fog light switch on and possibly an extra fuse in the fusebox.

This is a later type D7F

I got mine from http://www.adrad.co.uk/

Get some decent 3M sticky back pads to help stick the oil flap down. Mine once came off and wedged itself at the back of the engine and melted on the exhaust manifold.

Sorry i wasnt clear, its aimed at Longy.

Yeah, its only mk2ph1 clios that have them easily serviceable under the car. 5L will be enough, the book says 5.1 but ive never managed that without going over the max line. You may need some spare for topping up though after a while depending on your engine.

They are separate, the air con rad bolts onto the front of the normal rad. I dont think the 172 ones will fit, they are mounted at the top and bottom. On the 1.6 im sure its mounted via the sides.

You arnt mates with james boddy (has a mint silver corsa sri) by any chance??

You can buy them on ebay for about £12.

The are all probably identical, just in different boxes. The tensioners/pulleys in the gates kit are identical to the renault ones.

Yeah, its best to get it all from renault. If you want to save a little, a motor factor can supply you with a Gates timing belt kit.

Its just a plastic skid guard, its nothing to worry about, not all the cars had them. You could get one from a scrappies if you want one, they only clip on. Or you could fit the 172/182 skid guard which covers the whole underneath of the engine bay.

..they always come back.

I have 2 oz F1s in my shed both buckled. You can buy perfect mint condition ones for £50 if you look around. There is a few places that will do them but its costly.

Is it a 172mk1 or mk2??

Its not that bit you want to be worried about, its where the pipe goes into the back of the back box. If thats badly rusted you dont have very long.

Yeah most of them are the same one.

How warmed up was the engine?? How long had you been driving it??

You shouldnt run into too many problems, its fairly straight forward. the only problem I had was clearing up the mess on my garage floor afterwards!! lol @ fred, my puller was too big to fit down there to get them off so I hacked them off.

The cambelt and aux belt are due, both due to the age. Make sure all the tensioners and idlers are done too. Garages will give you cheap quotes thinking its only a 1.2-1.4 clio, they will soon change there mind when they have a proper look.

Make sure both wheels at the front are jacked up off the ground and make sure the passenger side driveshaft doesnt pop out.

Yeah the clips and gaitors are differnt, also the ends of the shaft that house the cv joint are a differnt design. The abs rings also look beefed up a bit. Whats the vehicle type codes for a 172mk2 and a cup, ill see if the part numbers are different on dialogies..??

It may have done some long term damage. The fact the car is still running is a good sign. I wouldnt be very happy at the previous owner. The filters do accumalate some bits and bobs after a few months. If you frequently drive on dusty roads/rally it/drive on the beach Id be worried.

My mate re-manufacturs calipers. www.biggred.co.uk

Assuming your car has drum brakes and local motor factor or halfords or renault dealer will get you a bearing kit probably off the shelf. Try and get the bearing kit as they normally include new circlip, dust cap and hub nut. You will need a 30mm deepish socket to take the outside drum off...

Check the pads are correctly seated. Peal back the rubber dust covers and grease all the sliders.
