I found lots of broken glass under my seats when I brought my car, not a good sign.

Fred you should bring out a Clio book with the knowledge and expertise you guys have, Id f**king buy it.

I seem to remember being able to adjust the amount of play on the steering, I did it on my brothers 1.2 a while back. Ill have a look and let you know.

Any more pics Giles?

Thats the only Clio Ive ever seen where the angel lights look good on it.

I dont see a problem with it, loads of classic mini owners have wired their spotlights up to the full beam, as long as you dont drive around like a plonker with them on all the time.

They pop up on ebay from time to time, try http://www.renault-spare-parts.com/. You will have to make your own wiring adapter (its simple) and stick an extra fuse in the box, let me know if you need any help.

Spotted a silver 172mk1 today along the ring road, looked standard bar twin exhaust on the back, wouldnt have seen me, I always seem to spot people when Im in the Suzuki.

whats the fabication code on the vin plate?

Didnt they also change the front grille?

Yeah, its for the whole pedal assembly.

Because Renault just slap on any old bits they find on the floor. The engines arnt made in the same factory and come on pallets, so they were problably using up whats left of the slightly older design.

These might help: 2002: pre 2004:

Re: How Do I Remove The Heat / Sound Shielding off The inside of The Bonnet From memory they just pull out with a flat bladed screw driver. Then you can remove the sound deadening. (a moderator needs to shorten the length of the title of this thread else nobody will be able to reply).

The struts have to come off, not too hard as long as the lower bolts come off freely. Heres a useful diagram and part numbers the kit you will need is number 8:

^ You can do it yourself they are only bolts.

Thinking about it, is it worth fitting the twisted type from a mk2, are they any better??

I could do with a 172mk1 dogbone mount.

Nah, put some eibachs on it. Id say the front end of a cup is still going to be heavier than your fully loaded 1.2 anyway.

Heres the pic you wanted (yes it needs a hoover).

you need to use the wheel on the steering control. slide it to the number you want then press the bottom button to move onto the next, when your done hold the bottom button down until it bleeps.

Nice pics, and some good shots of the city.

I had a powerflow fitted to my 1.2, I asked for the very quietest one they had. Had it fitted then after 2 weeks it just got way too annoying and loud so I took it back, they then fitted the biggest quietest stainless steel backbox they had free of charge, it was a slight improvement but was...

Ill take a pic later for you Giles.

Renault now sell oil filters for the 172 made by a different company, I think thats why its changed. They are also shorter than the older ones.

See if the bolt has come loose and fallen out, when I got my 172 the bolt on the door had unscrewed itself and was on the brink of dropping off.

Possibly will be ok, as the D7F engine was used in the earlier mk1s from about 1996. The year on the head could just be the date the tooling was made.

Passed a rb182 today, think i saw a cs sticker in rear. Wouldnt have seen me I was in my Suzuki.
