ive had to change the powersteering pump on the 172 so i took all the bumper and headlight out the way and the alternator and tensioner then fitted the new pump.
put it all back together and i couldnt seem to get the tentioner to move enough to fit the belt on. it was definatly on right as i...
had mine done about 18 months ago or somthing like that and the guy at renault said hes been there for 15 years and never had to change one on the 172 as its an oil driven pullie so they dont tend to fail on them.

but as for your clio, you need to take it on a road trip through wales then you will see what they are all about :)
decat, 2.5" straight through system, panel filter, stripped the back out and remap. shes done lots of miles though so its only making about 170 bhp lol
