    Little problems

    There are indeed 2 rubber pipes that connect to these inlets, the pipe ends have fallen down into the engine bay. One at the back of the engine and one on the side. Have a good look and you'll find them.

    What do you have for a spare wheel? (172 owners with aftermarket alloys)

    Temp fix means a foam inflation jobbie. Calling out a tyre man will be expensive, the breakdown cos. wont pay for that, you will. It can work out expensive for a simple thing like a punctured tyre out of hours when a simple cheap spare will get you on your way in 15mins. for free.

    17" wheels with 45profiles would correct the speedo readings but oh dear! more money required for new wheels. You can't win mate.

    R888's in September......

    The problem is Ciotoby, you don't know how each tyre feels yet until you try them. If you didn't like the existing ones then change brands of course. Everyone has their own opinion of tyres and is very personal on likes and dislikes. Your own experiences are the most important and you have a...

    Will these wheel nuts fit my 172 with turinis?

    I think you'll have to buy the Turinis first then try your original bolts for size first. If they reach to the back of the brake disc hole without fouling the hub then thats the length sorted. I believe all the Renault champher angles are the same, so no problem there. The wheelbolt head size...

    Will these wheel nuts fit my 172 with turinis?

    They are normal steel bolts for alloy wheels, Take one of your bolts off the car and measure it, why should I get my hands dirty?

    R888's in September......

    Yep, Camskill is good on price. Others are Black Circles, My Tyres, Top Gear, Earl Motorsport, Tyre Traders and your local Tyre Shop try a bit of haggling. Always get a quote for fully fitted, if you ask for supply only and have them fitted locally you'll be paying an extra circa £10 per...

    What do you have for a spare wheel? (172 owners with aftermarket alloys)

    They will just take you home though, they wont fix it unless there is a tyre shop open nearby.

    I find T1r's adequate in the wet, haven't tried Hankooks yet. I'm just suggesting an all rounder for the lad that doesn't cost the Earth and he doesn't track it, he is a student.

    R888's in September......

    As I say, a good compromise. I think the Contis are about double the price of the T1r's but don't give twice the grip.

    What do you have for a spare wheel? (172 owners with aftermarket alloys)

    Problem, How far is your mate willing to bring your spare out to you and even Breakdown co.s aren't gonna fix it in the middle of the night.

    What do you have for a spare wheel? (172 owners with aftermarket alloys)

    I have 5 original Turinis but a spacesaver steel wheel is ideal, pick one up from a breaker and fit the correct diameter tyre. Saves a lot of problems when you do have a puncture. Tyre foam is the crappiest idea for fixing punctures, it;s just temporary and scraps the original tyre, plus will...

    38 and 36psi is about the recommended pressures. They are different tyres so will feel different.

    how to remove shocker on front hard or peice of cake?

    That's a very good guide james. Spring compressors optional? No, you'll need these for the front springs, or you'll loose a finger, eye or something else. Rear springs you won't need them.

    R888's in September......

    T1R's because they are a good compromise between track tyres and road tyres. Grip well in the dry and wet and about £60 each fitted. Wear wise better than track tyres but worse than Contisports or other premium tyres.

    Anyone stuggling to sell their Clio Sport?

    Nothing wrong with your ad mate. Performance cars are always hard to sell as the insurance and tax have gone up a bit recently. Stick with it and someone will be along to see it. Only other thing to move it is reduce the price a little each week.

    how to get locking nuts off

    If you are member, the AA will take them off with a special impact driver, normally they will only do one to get you out of trouble with a flat tyre etc. but depending how amiable the AA man that arrives is, a good drink will help, and all 4 will be undone. Renault will take them off with a...

    Viewing a 182 - Haggling

    I would see no problem paying the way that suits you and the vendor. You can still haggle over the price but it's no good haggling unless you pay him a deposit, the vendor will not take you seriously. £100 in cash(subject to checks) would be fine for most vendors and show you are not a...
