172 Nm?

I've got a buzzing/rumbling wheel bearing at the rear of my 172 Cup. Bought genuine discs with bearings pressed in and want to change this weekend, do I need to fit new hub nuts when re-assembling or can I use the old ones? Cheers All, Ben

Lived around that area until recently and used to see that car all the time!

I was in my disposable commuting shed, 1.9d mk1 Clio van ;)

Yeah was roughly around that time :)

Driving toward Thetford yesterday on A11 through Elveden Forest, a mk2 ph1 172 in silver came past heading toward Newmarket/Cambridge. Dark wheels, decals on the rear quarters and very, very low. Anyone on here?

Removing the lettering really improves the look of the front end!

Have you done some post processing on this photo, with Photoshop for example?

The bit you are referring to is connected to the arch liner iirc.

Used my Clio this morning to commute from Norwich>Cambridge (interesting with the ice!). Using CD player more or less all of the way. When I got to Cambridge (around 1hour 15mins of 50-60mph A road cruising) there was a beep (heard this before with a corrupted CD) and the CD stopped playing...

I get 40+ in my 172. If you live in the sticks (as I do) it's quite easy to achieve - no traffic lights, few junctions, not much traffic, constant 40-60mph speed ;)

Which gear did you attempt the hill in? Looks like if you try 3rd or even 4th you will be OK :)

Complete kit looks good, but the 'tested for 300 miles' wording worries me a little bit. Doesn't seem a lot in the scheme of things, particularly if you are parting with £6k for the conversion.

The 'Sport' badge looks lower...

Bummer...

Anyone retro-fitted the 197 6-speed gearbox to a mk2 (or even mk1) Clio with either the F7P/R or F4R engines?

I picked up my new ph2 172 on Monday and have a problem. When I am sat waiting in traffic ect (stopped) the car seems to vibrate, steering wheel and car seems to shudder a bit. It doesn't happen constantly but like every few seconds. And if I move the steering wheel when stopped it does it...

Coolant level should 'increase' when the engine is warmed up.

You can pick up a third party warranty policy from someone like Warranty Direct or Warranty Wise(?). I did this for my first 12 months of Cup ownage and the policy paid for itself when snapped a front spring.

My water temp sits 'just' above level, that is normal operating temperature I think (this is on a mk2 ph2 dash).

Yes lol :) You can lock it by leaning in the passenger door, hitting the central locking button and then locking the passenger door on the key. That should secure it for you. Ben

What type of Proton do you have?

Had exactly this problem with mine, covered in limescale :dapprove:

Check the engine bay for leaks with the engine running, look under the car etc. If you truly believe you are seeing steam from your engine bay it could be hot coolant hitting the road whilst you are stationary.

Yes, there's only 1 part number for the Cup 172 stickers iirc but someone might correct me on that.

You need to listen to this :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X-6SguDEwIg

What do you want to remove, the mirror glass?

Yes

182 I'm assuming? Check the sensor and wiring from the gearbox for water ingress or other damage/abrasions.
