Theres a guide in the haynes manual, is it the 1.4 16v i take it? With air con?

As Ben says this is worth a try. Loosen the bolts on the drivers side mount pull the engine forward with the mount plate and re-tighten. It should have the gap show in the pic at the front of the mount, not the back (arrowed)if that makes sense.

I cannot remember how much they are but its really hard to change them, they have to be pressed on, Renault use a special tool.

Also try eBay.

As edde says you wont have any problems, i bet they do them in Clio sizes. 15" to 16" is recommended.

You have to buy the whole bracket which includes the rubber star mount, replace the centre one at the same time as the rear relies on the middle to be just as strong. Rear bracket 7700424339 £17.35 plus vat Centre mount 7700424341 £6.50 plus vat

Not that I know of, the standard ones arnt too bad at doing the job.

ITG filter shouldnt have anything to do with it, if its a 172mk1 Y reg made after mar 01 it will have 2 lambda sensors.

Get someone to sit in the car and rock the steering, see if you can tell if its coming from the lower suspension from around the hubs, or the top near the turrets as in the above guide, failing that it could be the steering rack. See if there is much movement of the steering rack in the mounts.

Looks very nice ritchie.nice upgrade from a AX. Did you buy it from someone in the leicestershire area? Ive sure ive seen that car around here before.

You can fix that yourself assuming you can get to the motor to take it off, it just needs taking apart, servicing and putting back together.

I dont think that kit will be right for a 172. Give biggred a ring on the number on there website, they guy that runs the place is a mate of mine ask for john, he is very helpfull. www.biggred.co.uk

Can you detect where abouts from the engine its coming from?

Try cleaning the TDC sensor, there is a guide somewhere on here with pictures, failing that try cleaning replacing the coolant temp sensor and check the connections. Does the temp gauge seem erratic?

It could be a jammed solonoid in the carbon canister, see if its coming from behind the drivers side foglight.

Saner and Giles used to have some nice colourcoded mk2ph1s. Here was mine from a year ago:

Neither of these are mine btw, they look good if the car is low.

You followed me along the parimeter road today as I turned off for Barwell, infact Ive seen you a couple of times, once coming out of Mallory park. Anyone??

Which part is it the one near the manifold/cat? It can be bent into shape so it doesnt vibrate so much, also try tightening the bolts on the brackets if you can get to them.

How did you crack it, hit something in the road?

Rich if you have a quick look in the guides section Ive made a guide to fitting a ITG and replacing the standard feeds to behind the bumper vent.

Im not sure from memory, its not much, around 14Nm.

How long does it last for, a few seconds or until the engine has warmed up?

Its hard to see in the bottle and where the line is, shine a small bright torch down it and this will light up the fluid so you can see where it is on the min/max line.

Which engine is it?

Very nice, how many miles have you done so far?

No idea what the correct part number is, they should be NGK platinum PFR6E-10. Renault charge £13 each but you can order a 4 pack from some online shops for about £30.

Nice car for a first.
