Mines feels loose too, i've had garages look at it and they have said there is some play but nothing excessive, which doesn't obviously help with the loose feeling.. what would be the first step?

Thats the one mate. I was told to get a Renault cable, which i got from t21ads, so give him a pm

carparts4less, brought one last week for £97 4-5days delivery is free or next day is £4. i'd get a new cable too, feels loads better.

no you quoted me £499 over the phone.

I stand corrected, they are £40 cheaper as there quote didn't include VAT. You quoted me £499 inc the clutch and they quoted me £360 labour only plus the clutch

Yeah they are.

which battery did you go for?

I have the most random trip computer, i can reset it when i fill up with petrol and the next time i fill up the trip miles might say something random like 23 miles even though i've done many more. Or sometimes if will just keep resetting to 0. Any ideas? Battery maybe?

Price difference is £100 for changing the clutch between TCR/BTM. That's a fair chunk if you ask me, especially as I'm looking at getting my springs changed / cam belt done soon aswell.

Double? If so..sold!!

My quotes vary from £235 to £625.

What is so specialist about the clutch though?

I need the clutch replacing, but ideally would like someone to recommend me a local garage. ...and yes i've had a price of Fred. However, I after a local alternative. Thanks

I don't think it's that drastic to be fair mate, but i don't know what it is. If i took my car to the garage for every noise i'd never be driving it.....

Trip to BTM then before it does....

Ok, lets try to explain this as best I can... When pressing the clutch I have a noise which resemmbles a bird chirping, I diagnosed this as the thrust bearing following a post on here. Anyway, 12months on I still haven't changed the clutch as It drives fine, so I haven't bothered. Recently, I...

A good friend of mine is selling is 172. Here is is advert on pistonheads. http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/3788729.htm I've linked it on here as he is no longer a member. Any queries please use the contact on Pistonheads.

Local lad! Enjoy it!

Go for the itb route, and ill buy it off you when you have finished it!

You may be right, but the garage did say any more lights / issues then bring it back and the diagnosis will be FOC, suppose they could have fobbed my off with new coil pack, leads or injector. Trial and error i suppose!

Apologies, I'm totally wrong! He swapped the injector for cylinder 3 with the injector in for cylinder 4 and the problem went away. I just fetched it back and it's fine!

As above, engine management light came, sounded like a Scooby and a lot of blue smoke and stunk of fuel in the car. The fault has come up on cylinder 3, the garage have swapped the lead from 3 to 4 and the light hasn’t come back on and the car is driving fine. Any ideas Car is 02 reg ph2 172.

I’ve had some of the washers made, so if anybody is in need of any let me know.

25mm mate

With it being the weekend i havent tried k tec yet but will on Monday. I've taken the washer off the damper that is not missing and taken some photos, dims and templates to try and get one made up. If anyone knows were else i can try please let me know. The washer is a below, and is...

Hi, I have some raceland coilovers fitted to my 172, i cant complain for the cost of them, but i recently took the car for a 4 wheel alignment and the garage has advised the elliptical washer is missing from the drivers side, which is currently giving me 2 deg negative camber. I can only...

On turnover the car won't start and clicks continously then the time clock goes to 00:00 as if the battery has been taken out. The car starts with a bump start. Any ideas? Its not my clio, its my moms 1.2, 51 reg
