Bump Anybody got an idea of how to check the cv or what is causing the squeaking? Cheers

Hi I will try greasing the surround, however I worry that it may be a cv joint :( Any thoughts on how to check that or what the squeaking noise is? The squeak only happens on certain bumps and without any lock on, so it is not related to the strut could it be a warn ball joint? Cheers

Bloody hell my head is killing me. I know there is a lot of threads on this but it is quite hard to pin down what relates to what. My problems as two fold Firstly I had the mild knocking when the car was on lock. I thought it was the top strut. I have fitted the washers however I get...

Justin Got mine today. Cheers mate

Hi all Time to change tyres, been having a quick look at mytyres and there seems to be a bit of a difference between 195/45 R16 and 205/45 R16 prices. I know the 195 come as standard on the 172's but 205 on the 182's. What do people recommend for the 172's, keeping them as standard or...

Really but surely the lifetime warranty should take care of that.

Super timing of this thread as my original has jsut started blowing, merry christmas :( Ah well did manage 54k on it. Anyway which out of these two exhaust do people think is the best for motorway driving, leaning towards the powerflow as I an hopefully get it done tomorrow. Cheers

bump some kind soul must be able to answer our questions

I wouldn't mind knowing this either but with more emphasis on the handling versus ride comfort. i.e how does the pro's ride comfort compare to stock

Cheers mate Thought as much, hella set on ebay at the minute qill have to watch and see. Good tip with renault spares.

Hi all Hope someone can help my Xenon ballast has given up. The steelers want 150 plus vat for the part alone!!! Seen this on ebay, emailed the guy and he says it will fit, but then he would. Anyone know...

Yeah That is what I had in mind however the car is now 3 and half years old. Cheers

Hi I was thinking of taking out a years warranty cover on my 172 as I have just bought a new house and can't deal with any large unexpected bills. I have found this website (Warranyworks) and a years cover is around 150 quid, max. claim is 1000 and the list of items covered looks pretty...

Hi all My nearside xenon is on the blink. When you fire up the light is flickers but does not catch. Any ideas on what this could be? Please help as these things are not cheap. Cheers

Hi My left xenon has gone on the blink too. It sparks up but doesn't saty lit. Any idea what this would be?? Cheers

HI mate Though call, I am currently doing 20,000+ a year. The car has been pretty reliabile so far, however not as good as a I imagine jap car would be. It is also a fairly expensive car to run over high mileages as the resale value of the car drops, tyres servicing etc all add up. On the...

Hi folks I know this is a long shot as there isn't many clio sport owners in NI on here, but does anyone know of anyone good to remove a few parking dents. Cheers

Sorry to hijack Where is the cheapest place to get standards or suitable replacements. Cheers

Well I am sold, always wondered how they were low brake dust and yet claimed decent stopping power.

Thankfully I don't live in london :) Think I will splash out and get the Ferodo. Cheers guys

Hi all I need to replace my discs and pads, will keep the back standard but I would like to upgrade the fronts. Torn between some Ferodo Ds2500 or the new version green stuff pads. My questions are, what are the wear on the discs like with the Ferodo, how much heat do you need to get in...

Hi Do the Eibach Pro springs really improve the stock ride, I find my 172 fidgets an awful lot on poor surfaces. Lets face it plenty of those about. Cheers

Cheers Guys That write up is superb, def. going to do it myself. Are the Koni much harder than the OE. Amazing the difference in handling by the way, I knew there was something up.

Hi Folks One of my rear shocks is leaking. What makes do people recommend or should I keep it OE and can I replace myself. Cheers

Edde Top man, halfords it is then, stock pads should be more than good enough. Steve

Hi Folks Girlfriends dynamique needs some new pads. Which type do they use? Lucas or bendix And any recommendations of a make. Cheers Steve

yeah could well be right :( Just love driving her, brings a smile to my face almost everyday. Mileage will be dropping by a fair bit at the end of the year, so I just dont know what to do.

Thanks for all the info folks. Its going to renault at the end of the week for a service, bloody hope it's the balast and it will be covered by the waranty. Stupid washer balls have also fallen out. Really hope this isn't the start of a bad run, I am doing 20+k a year and can't have a...

cheers will give that a try.

Cheers mate Couple on ebay for 50, which is a hell of alot better than renault will want. After a bit of searching, alot of people are suggesting the balast as the problem. How would I know, dont fancy spending 50 quid on a bulb and the finding out it is fine. Cheers
