Hmmm im not sure, im thinking its a door or boot area part.

I like that, ride height and wheels are spot on.

Car looks very smart, I seem to recognise that number plate. That steering wheel is well and trully buggered, who was the last owner, captain hook?

She looks very smart.

All the 172 exhausts are 2 piece, centre section and back box are separate pieces that clamp together just above the rear beam.

Halfords sell there own brand 5w40w fully synthetic, Ive used that for my suzuki and cant fault it. You can pick shell helix 5w40w fully synthetic up at any shell garage and theres bound to be other places that sell it. My renault dealor sells duckhams. Opie oils did have a 10% discount for...

LOL^ i used castrol GTX in my 1.2 8v on its very first service and I wasnt impressed.

I wouldnt worry about it too much john, its not going to be too much of a noticable difference. If your changing the sparks get NGK pfr6e-10. I changed mine dead on 72k and the old ones were still fine, they hadnt even gone rusty It would be interesting if you changed them, then rr'd again and...

Ive seen him loads of times, normally has fog lights on. I think matt brown knows him but he doesnt come on here.

The dealer should have changed it when the aux belt was off if they knew it had dodgy pump before it was being replaced. The pump is only about £40 from memory and has to be done while the aux belt is off.

My locking nuts were rolling around in the spare wheel well. If you cant find them take your service book to renault and they will check a number to see if they can order them for you (assuming they are renault ones). However they have to be ordered from italy and normally take 3 weeks.

Any pics of the engine bay?

Can anyone remember (probably not) on the old forum a few years ago a bloke with a mint williams parked up in the shopping centre and he strapped foam padding all down the side of the car?!! Was extreme but quite funny.

Looks like an interesting pair of cars in your garage, any pics?

Welcome to the club. what colour is it and have you got any pics?

I didnt word that well, i meant if you jack the whole front up both of the suspension arms go down as low as they will go (the arb doesnt push one side up) making it easier to unbolt/ bolt the strut back to the hub.

You will need to jack the whole front up on the 172 to flop the roll bar down to get the struts off. Also be careful the bottom of the strut doesnt damage the driveshaft gaitor.

Could be the tracking, how did he manage to pop 3 tyres? What tyres have you been buying?

Some places will check tracking for free but if its out they will charge you.

Its basically a belt from the drive of the engine that turns all the accesories such as air conditioning, powersteering pump, water pump, alternator etc. On most clios it should be changed every 36k or 72k depending on engine.

Sorry I missread the post thought you meant cam belt.

iirc its not that much of a hard job, just need to remove the belt covers, unbolt the crankshaft pulley and turn to bring piston 1 to tdc. Lock the engine position. Then support the engine and remove the engine mount/covers, slacken the tension nut and away you go. take the old one of, refit new...

As above the gaps are preset. I took mine out at 72k and they were fine, didnt even have any rust on them.

Your car looks mint, how many miles has it done? Glad to see you lowered it before putting those wheels on.

Its my fault, I posted the video and didnt enter much for the search criteria.

Theres a guide in the haynes manual, theres also guides dotted around the forum. You wont be able to do the fronts without a compressor, Halfords sell a pair for about £25. The back is easy undo the lower shock bolt and top nut in the boot and the springs will pop out, the front struts come off...

The bearings in the renault discs say MADE IN FRANCE... Renault sell the discs (pair), with bearing already pressed in complete with abs rings for about £175. GSF were selling them for about £140 on ebay.

Not sure what you mean Vern? What year is your car?? The 36k service is a major service, so everything is checked, oil, oil filter, air filter, cabin filter is changed. Fluids are topped up. If you car is 4-5 years old consider what is done at the 72k level which is more-less the same except the...

Lee, I know they are different, but how I cannot remember. I dont think they are interchangeable.

Scrapyard is your best bet.
