lol 2 spots in one day!! cant be bad. Rachel as soon as I passed you I passed a silver 172. Didnt see you though mark!

You need a new mount from Renault. It comes as a whole, with the metal bracket and just bolts on. While your at it change the centre exhaust mount too.(not my pic but this is what it shouldnt look like). Rear bracket 7700424339 £17.35 plus vat Centre mount 7700424341 £6.50 plus vat

Looking good. :approve:

Ive modified the two standard feeds with 70mm piping to behing the grilles. See my guide in the guides section. PS the 172mk1 doesnt have an acoustic valve.

Hi rachel, the ph1 flamer was me, I didnt realise I passed another flamer until it was too late else I would have waved. PS your car looked very clean compaired to mine! Did it have 182 wheels?

parked next to a smart dynamique with blacked out windows and turninis today, anyone??

Renault spec say it should be 75w80 GL5, you will need 3 litres.

Was that after constant driving in this cold weather?

Standard wheels with a good low functional ride height look best in my opinion.

Avoid PI at all costs, Apex sag after a year, I beleive eibach springs have a 5 year warranty, or at least they used to.

As Edde said, the authentique didnt have sunroofs, they are the same shell as the 172.

You have to take the bumper off on a 172mk1 or at least loosen the bumper, but on a normal mk2ph1 you can just unclip the lower grille to access the 2 lower bolts.

LOL^^ Welcome to the club, thats a good car for a first.

Yeah ask renault and see what they come up with. The rings just tap on the shafts. When the clios came out at first you couldnt buy the rings but now they have released some so you can buy seperatly. Especially since some of them have been found to split/crack. Heres an example, that may fit...

Parked behind me in lay-bye at work in Carlton Park, in Narborough, Leics. Had the RAC man there trying to help you start it. Anyone??

What do you want to know?

They look about right, what make are they?? The correct measurements are about right. SHould be: Criteria:Fitting PositionFront Axle Brake SystemLucas Width [mm]128,9 Height [mm]55,4 Thickness [mm]18,3

Does it do it when idling, while holding down the clutch?? It could be a worn/dried out clutch release bearing.

How did the cover slip out, did a mechanic not tighten it on??

Welcome to the club slippers, any pics of the car and where are you from?

If your fitting 172 wings you will need a bumper to match, you will also need sideskirts to match too. You need to have the whole set for it to fit together.

As above, I think it was only the 172mk1 that had the other type.

lol, I know what you mean, no matter how many pliers I have none of them grip it and pull it off at the same time. Ive nearly got round to replacing them all with proper ones.

Nice, although it was just as effective with the grey bumper.

Very nice.

Have you got any knocking noises from the rear, have the rear wheels been rubbing on the rear wheel arches? Has the handling changed at all?

Let the wd40 soak in overnight then retry the next morning after a nice big english breakfast. Failing that buy a powered torque wrench. One with about 400NM should do it.

No set time they should last, but Id expect one to last at least 50k. What wheels have you got on it?

Terry the shocks is easy, you just jack the back up, stick it on some stands (on the frame not the suspension!). Unbolt the lower bolt holding it to the trailing arm, then unbolt the nuts under the rubber caps in the boot. Once the lower bolt is off the springs will pull out. Make sure when...
