Why don't you part ex the RB against my 172, i'll keep the RB as is and you can do whatever you want to the 172! done!

It was mint mate!! Thought you'd soon forgot about it though after buying the R26!

after a bit of research on the net and some help from the boys over on RTOC it seems pretty conclusive that the tensioner needs replacing. here is a video i did of the noise last night - youtu.be/YCTZu4ox5BE

The gf mini one (1.4 petrol) has developed a loud ticking noise which you can hear when you are driving. A couple of weeks ago we had topped up the oil as it was low and garage asked if we had an oil leak, which we haven't. Anyway, drove 600 miles in last week, checked the oil about 400 miles...

I know the springs are pretty awful. no I haven't mate, having really got time to get over to TCR so i've just took it to a local gargae. and trying to use the forum / internet to help.

the garage have now said they are pretty sure the vibration is down to the driveshafts. he has asked me to get the wheels balanced on the car, as in on the car, which is different to when having tyres fitted. anyone shed any light on this? he also said try lowering the tyres pressure to...

Dave, I use sonus ultra fine clay with megs last touch as lube.

Loose the centre caps...look much better without.

i normally do that when it beeps after locking, i open and shut a door, then lock.

taken from spigotrings.com What is a spigot / centric ring / o'ring?It's a ring that is fitted to the centre of your hub of a vehicle to decrease a bore size, normally used when aftermarket alloy wheels are fitted, or wheels are transferred from one make to another.E.g. - Lexus wheels on a...

i like them in silver. not a fan of the yellow centre caps though. if you were definetly set on changing them, i'd go black

confused! no!

thanks mate!

cheers, how do i gain access to the horn?

As above, ph2 172, I've checked the fuse and it's fine. What is the next step of problem solving?

passenger ball joint has been replaced, which had got rid of the clunking. Still have vibrations through the wheel at 70mph+....back to the drawing board.

i've got a set of springs, £30 collected from Halesowen (B63)

It's a 6/7 hour labour job, so that price isn't right. Get a valeo clutch from carpartsforless - http://www.carparts4less.co.uk/cp4l/c/Renault_Clio_2.0_2002/p/car-parts/car-transmission/clutch-and-associated-parts/clutch-kit/?641746070&1&03c0b449de9d561f5aee6b8f589b4148cf202031&000069 and get...

do cup shocks fit the standard 172?

same for the 172?

and when braking heavy the car seems to pull to the left quite sharply.

further sympton to this, a strange way to explain, but I get the feeling the the footwell is vibrating under foot. i'm still getting the old clunk on sharp bends / turns.

want!

Hmmm, not sure about the hesitation when turning, can't say i've noticed it. I do get the knocking on full lock, not really thought much of that. It was the shaking steering wheel that concerns me the most. Would the diff be inclined to cause this?

Just given both of the driveshafts a tug and the passenger side is solid but there is slight play in the drivers side.

It is considering i was expected 150-160. Just need to sort out the vibrating steering wheel issue now, thinking it may be a driveshaft.

They have just uploaded them on FB. And I stand correct its 173.1 bhp.

This one - http://www.mtechautomotive.co.uk/rolling-road/ I have yes, I'll scan it when i'm at home.
