just put some 35mm drop springs on my 172 and now it seems to knock when i steer it from side to side when driveing slowly. also in the engine bay where the top of the struts are i knoticed that these turn when i turn the wheel. is this suposed to happen or are they over tightend which in...
im looking for some springs and want a 40 mm drop. i have spoted these and they seem like a decent price but would you trust them as they are half the price of all the other springs ive seen for this drop.
its for the clio2 ph2 172 but do these have the same springs as the ph1...
ive got a strange whining noise coming from my engine bay when i turn my steering when. its not too bad when im accually driveing but i can still hear it faintly but when im driving slow e.g parking, its alot louder and i can feel it through the steering. any ideas what this could be?
it only...

had a seat airbag go off on me a while ago and found out that it needs a new airbag ecu. ive now got one but im not sure were abouts in the car it is and rather than spending ages ripping out interior to find it id rather ask so i save myself some time.
plus i know ive got to disconnect the...
when got my clio it only had one key but i thought nothing of it untill the other day when my missis sister locked her keys in the car. i then thought what if i did that or lost it wtf would i do? does any one know where i can get one in brum and how much they cost cheers.
i put a post up about a week ago about the scratches, dents and stone chips on my 172 and that i hade decided to finally do them any way heres a few pics of it in progress and the end result.
still needs a mop but it looks a hell of a lot better now so im glad i took the...
the 172 was starting to look a bit tatty so ive decided its time to do the scratches dents and stone chips, just to tart it up a little as every time i was the car they really annoy me as they are the only thing that lets it down. heres the pics of the progress so far any way
it had a...
and then momments later...
should i take out the extra morgage now so i have the money ready for when it goes lol
oh and i thought id just put this up for fun
does any one know the part number for a rear nearside stub axel for a 51 plate 1*2. as renault have now sent three and all have been the wrong ones. them guys dont know ther arse from ther elbow.
when putting a new rear axel on my ph2 clio 172 i noticed that between the axel and the stub axel there is a inch or so thick spacer plate. if you where to get a thicker one of these machined up it would push your wheels out wider but wouldnt put extra strain on your bearings as it sits behind...
i have now replaced the seat that the air bag went off on but i dont know weather to connect the air bag and pretensioners up yet because im worried that the module will still be sending the deploy signal to them and set them off as soon as i reconnect them. is this likely to happen or am i ok...
first was a red 172 on the sutton bypass by bassets pole at about 7.30 - 7.45 this morning then saw a silver one on the same road heading in the oposite direction at about the same time, then saw a black 182 on chester rd between the tyburn house and the bagot pub at about 5.45ish. any one here?
ive got white marks on my plastic black trim around the side mirrors and scuttle panel from polish/waxing. what should i use to clean them up as it really bugs me when i spend hours cleaning the car but can`t get them clean with the rest of it. ta.
as above, are the seat belts in a 1*2 the same as other clios as i need to replace some of mine but i know that suppliers can be sneaky and charge you more because of the car you have stated even though it would be less for another car and they are exacly the same item
cheers.
had a bit of an accident on the way home and spun out on an island
im also after a passenger side front ff 1*2 seat as it poped the air bag too. wouldnt mind but its not as if i hit the bloody kirb hard. :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:
havent put any up for a while so here they are
i know there are loads of stone chips on the front bumperand bonnet and scratches on front and back bumpers bad they annoy me more and more every time i look at them but they will just have to wait till ive got the time and money to...
ive made some fibreglass ones and heres what the end result is. not perfect but not bad neither. better than the old ones any way. heres some pics

i wouldnt recommend holding them in place like i did with cable ties because...
is it me or does it seem that every time you put somthing right on a clio somthing else goes on it. for me it started with the exhust being loose, did that then the exhust bracket went, did that then the heat shield came loose, did that then i got a big chunk missing out of one of my tyres...
