Air box and filter is fairly straight forward, its designed to be taken off easily as the filter is a servicable part. Its just held onto the throttle by jubilee clips. Make sure you still have the air feeds going to the box. The washer bottle is a bit of pain to get to, are you sure the leak...

Does anybody know if the 172 oil level sensor also tells the ecu the temp of the oil?? Cheers,

Yes it should have one behind the grille. People do remove them to make way for inductions kit/cafs.

good choice. :approve:

What part is it, the number rings a bell?

Im not sure either, looks like a pump. Whats your cars fabrication number, ill look on dialogies.

She looks a beuty. Somebody bought my old 1.2 on ebay, they paid by posting a cheque which i waited to clear, they didnt even come to look at the car once. It was a good honest car but its amazing what trust some people have and how they will part with lots of there money without even seeing...

Where abouts in Leicestershire??

Gently pull it out, its only held in by the rubber seal.

Thats bad luck but it did well to last 7-8 years. Do you know the full extent of the damage? May only need a new top half of the engine.

The trouble with wd40 is it soon disapears when it gets hot. Best to use some high melting lm grease.

I would keep it, learn how to drive, it sounds like your mature enough not to drive like you stole it once youve passed your test as they are very quick compared to a bicycle!! However the expense of taxing, and insuring it might put you off as a new driver!!

Renault sent a letter to all clio II owners but the owners details they obtained from the dvla was months out of date. Some of the Clios have a plastic slider mechanism on the safety catch which imo is a lot worse and should be changed with a metal type one (as mainly used on mk2ph1s). Renault...

Wow thats really good. The only thing thats really missing is the aerial.

Was gonna say, if its just the odd pop from the exhaust when idling thats normal.

Can you tell if it just missfires when its idling or throughout the rev range? Its worth checking the sparkplugs, check the ht leads, and injectors. If its a 172mk1 try changing the fuel filter.

I think it will fit but the airbag is incompatable/wont fit. I have a pic somewhere..

If its the one Im thinking of, it used to look like this but got resprayed:

Some inspiration.

Yozzasport do a stealth quiet/or noisy one. K-tec also do a stealth.

Have a look at the mount in this pic, ideally you dont want a gap beteen the rubber and the black bracket (where the arrow is). You want the gap on the front side of the mount as in this pic. Follow Bens guide, if your still getting knocking one or more of the mounts is badly worn.

You will need a long socket extension bar to get down to the nut on the bracket that holds it in.

Not hard at all, if you have a big funnel with a big bendy spout it will help. You just pour it through the top filler plug slowly until it pours out.

I use my girlfriends fascial wipes, brings it up a treat!

I use the castrol stuff in all the Clios Ive had, change the oil every 2 years and cant fault it. bmh, I spilt it in my garage and it stunk for about 3 months, it also ate through the painted floor!

25-30nm normally, Its a difficult one with plugs, I always tighten them until it feels right, not too tight, not too light. The 172 is the only Clio where the plugs are designed to last 72k.

Yes, just found it, the workshop manual for a 172 says min is 21.8. Incedently the rears are 8mm and the min thickness is 7mm.

Fitting Position: Front AxleØ: 280 mm, Thickness/Strength: 24 mm, Height: 44 mm, Brake Disc Type: Internally Vented, Min. thickness: 21,8 mm, Hole Pitch / Number: 04/06 Im not sure what renault say the minimun should be though.

You can always try them, if they dont fit sell them back on ebay.
