How long should the battery be on a clio 172 02 plate? The one that came with mine is 8 inches and clearly too big as the intake pipe for the airbox can't be connected properly. Cheers

Im not sure, but normally see it around 7.20.

Just read on strikeengine.com that a new aux belt only costs £19, so I can't see why anyone would change the cambelt and not stick a new belt on.

See a red Trophy at the cross road in Cleckheaton some mornings at around 7.20.

Thats not too bad, think I'll get it done for peace of mind!

Right cheers Fred. Well on the reciept there is no mention to aux belt, only cambelt kit. How much is it to change the aux belt, and at 76k, how many times should it have been changed? Im thinking its probably just been done once at 36k service.

Thats what I thought, so you wouldn't think you could even buy a cambelt replacement kit that didn't include an aux belt?

It was £700, but that includes 4 goodyear eagles (£220)

Hi I bought an 02 172 3 weeks ago, 76k with 5 stamps in the service book. The last service was carried out at 70k and the reciept states it had a replacement cam belt kit fitted. Would this have included the aux belt? There's no mention of it but surely it would have been due one?? The...

Whats best way to clean?

Im not too bothered about the deeper tone, but is it atleast as good as a standard reno filter?

Bought a 172 ph2 a couple of weeks ago, thought it was 100% standard. But it actually has a K&N panel air filter. Just wondered, are these any good, is the only affect it will have on the car a slightly deeper tone? Cheers

Thanks, whats the name of the wheel refub company?

Cheers Timmay! Thanks for the advise bagss, but i think I'm gona service it myself. Just wondered where best place to get it all from and if there was a make of oil/plugs/ht leads that worked well in a CS?

not seen another monaco round barnsley/wakefield before thought i was the only one :) Well there is now!! SO where is the best place to get oil/filter/plugs/ht leads from. can you improve on renault Ht leads?

How much did the wheels cost to refurb if you don't mind me asking?

No its not blowing and the revs seem pretty steady, just feels a bit lumpy, if thats normal then fair enough. So what about oil, sparks, ht leads, what/where from? Just standard reno stuff?

Anything you can do to improve it??

Is that Wakefield? Not keen on that black corsa, like that punto though!

Cheers....

I have recently bought an 02 ph2 172, really pleased with it. Just a few questions though. The idle is a little lumpy and the clutch heavy, heard this was normal? It idles smoother than some I looked at and to be fair I have got used to the clutch. Fairly soon I would like to change the...

I heard they were fairly realiable solid cars, seem to have come down a lot in price in the last year. The insurance doesn't even seem to be that bad, not for a grp16 any way. I would travel for the right car, but all the ones I have looked at (4) have looked really good in pics but have been...

Bristol and Somerset are a little too far away. Sorry.

I suppose its only just a little over average. Are there any signs to look for that its been thrashed? What do you think I should be paying for something like that? 3k cash?

Thanks for the advice, looked at afew but still not bought one. Going to look at a 172 y reg ph2 2night, done about 80k. Would the mileage put anyone off? Its got fsh and cambelts been done.

Right I am thinking about buying the above, maybe something like a w/x/yreg 2000 172 with around 60/70k on the clock. What are the sort of potential problems should I look out for? Guessing I'll be paying between 2500 and 3250?? What sort of mpg do you guys get, official figure is 35mpg but...
