Anyone ever got a clio bonnet delivered? I'm looking at a flamer red one pretty much the other end of the country which makes collecting it unfeasable.

Fitted my second-hand powerflex dogbone and have realised it should have had two large washers on the gearbox mount end, thankfully I've only done 5 miles. What size and thickness should they be?

My interior light (172) doesn't work when eithrr door is opened but does on the switch. Where do I begin solving this

My 172 has a loud bearing hum from about 40mph onwards that I can't locate the source of. I've tried jacking up each corner and spinning the wheel to listen for it as well as holding the spring to feel for and vibration. Any other tips to find out which ones gone short of taking it to a garage?

On my list to replace is my shabby copy part exhaust, I'm open to ideas so stealth or cut bumper are both options as are full system or just back box. I want something to improve the sound, maybe a bit lairy but not silly loud and if visible a neat rolled tip maybe 2.5-3" sitting flushish with...

I want to replace my manky 172 gear knob and gaitor for a ph1 or ph1 style. I was thinking the Richbrook alloy one would be the simplest option, has anyone else fitted one or recommend doing the complete ph1 mechanism

My 172 pulls and tramlines badly but as I was going to replace the shocks springs and top mounts I decided to sort it afterwards replacing it all. Today I've been to have 2 rainsport 3s put on the back and check the front tracking hoping it was going to be way out but it was dead straight. I...

I do most things on my cars and bike, my 172 is due its belts and pulleys change which I've never attempted before on ant car to be honest, would I be stupid to even entertain the idea?

Tried a search but couldn't find an answer, I'm assembling my cup shocks and don't trust the way round the bearing is inserted into the rubber mount. Can someone confirm it's orientation?

I'm going to order new cup shocks and Grams springs for my 172 but have a question I want clarifying. I will be replacing the top mounts and have been well and truly confused by all the reading I've done, would I be right in saying either just order Febi mounts or just the bearing and reuse all...

Sorry to bang on about this but I'm trying to get to the bottom of a running problem so have done a compression test. When started from cold it does the normal raised idle but as it drops it begins to sound rough and the idle struggles and will sometimes die while sounding like a tractor (miss...

Seen today turning off A438 from Hereford towards Kinnersley

Right so having sorted a bad earth causing the immobiliser to not allow my 172 to start I've now got a new issue which is a low unstable idle which is close cutting out. On closer inspection I can hear the coil making irregular clicks like an arching sound, is this likely the problem? Loosing...

I've taken my starter off as it was only throwing out the dog gear , not spinning up. Turned out the live feed was corroded to the motor so sorted and bench tested. Anyway now I've got it all back on, the immobiliser light wont go out so the engine won't turnover unless I turn the key...

Put a new battery in to try and sort a starting issue, didn't work. Anyway I now need a radio code for this serial number- RN278F20286512 if anyone could help, cheers

I've been replacing the missing brackets to fit a standard ph2 airbox but something isn't right. I've bolted the front and rear brackets in the correct location but the tab under the battery that it locates onto sits too far forward. Baffled as to how or why so I'm tempted to just do away with...

Do ph2 172s with 16" wheels still use the same tool kit in the spare wheel well as the ph1 and most other clios? Mines missing

On my list of fixes with my flamer is the headlining, the thin material is separating from the main lining material. I'm prepared to take the lot out to renew but just wondered if anyone's done an in situ fix?

I've been trying to find a few replacement clips but as some are missing I'm unsure what Im looking for. I want the scuttle cover clips that go into the to wings for the scuttle to push down onto and the turn screw ones that hold the s. cover to the bulk head. I'm also looking for the grille...

As in the title really, my radiator fan comes on on start up and runs permanently, what might be causing this, the fuse box seems to have quite a few more empty slots than my 182 ever did.

I've bought this car HF02 XAM, it's got some funny goings on under the bonnet, like brackets missing odd routing of cables etc so I'm trying to do a bit of background research on it. Does anyone know it or know of any previous owners?

New 172 and now all the problems are coming out of the woodwork, neither of my wing mirrors are moving would i be right in thinking it would possibly suggest the control is dead or a loose connection? Also heater blower only has one speed which searching on here looms like the resistor at...

I've just bought a flame red 172 after a bit of searching, it's not the tidiest example I'm sure but it will keep me entertained bringing it back up to scratch. It has cliosport stickers so I'm guessing a previous owner may still be on here or some one may know this car?

So I think I've found a 172 in flame red that I'm going to view tomorrow, what do you think I could try getting it for as it's up for £1600? Totally standard 87k Belts due 2020 Mot til Oct 2019 advisory on perishing control arms/cv boots. No rust but to be confirmed. Judging by a recent mot...

I'll start by saying I've used the search and read a fair bit on this but I just want to have my thoughts confirmed by a human being. I've kind of agreed on the purchase of a fairly low mileage Monaco 172 which it turns out was a cat c in April last year for a smashed bumper. Now to me that...

Potentially going to look at a 172 that will need work so don't want to put a full years insurance on it for it to be off the road. It's over an hour away so not really in the 'it'll be alright to nip home' bracket. I've got van and motorbike insurance and am named on our family car policy so...

How do i ammend my for sale advert to sold in the cars for sale section? Sent from my SM-G903F using Tapatalk

Trying to do a split abs ring but the passenger side splined shaft is well stuck in the hub, tried smacking it but with a 4lb lump hammer it will not budge. Any tips short of draining the gearbox and taking the shaft out to get it pressed out? Sent from my SM-G903F using Tapatalk

I think I put this in the wrong section before but basically my 182 has just gone into limp mode with some odd symptoms. With the ignition on it looks like the first photo them once started the second photo. It won't rev above 3k is a little hesitant to start and the rad fan comes on...

My abs ring has been cracked for a while now and just not got round to fixing it but yesterday it went into limp mode with the traction control light on, the engine management light and the stop light. Could this be related to the abs ring? Sent from my SM-G903F using Tapatalk
