So, the boot worked absolutely fine and then yesterday it just randomly didn't lock. So I took apart the boot lining itself and had a look and nothing was visually broken. I then shut it and disconnected and re-connected the battery in the hope to try and 'fix' it, and initially it done nothing...

Just pulled into shell garage, I was walking opposite. Car looked great! You on here?? Ollie

Hi all, question here from a mate of mine - wondered if you could help. (I quote) I Have left the car sitting for a week and the steering feels lighter than it should. It feels like you have to turn the wheel more to go round corners, ..... What could this be? Car is a 1.2 16v dynamique. Any...

What's the easiest way to do this? Or, proper way of doing it? Also how much does It take? Was looking at that 'slick 50' stuff in halfrauds. Thanks! Ollie

Hi all, I've done a quick search but cannot find the info I want really. I need to change my air filter for an upcoming service. My options are a pipercross panel filter, a standard paper filter genuine renault or something like an induction kit?! I have the standard renault ph2 sport airbox...

Is this a serviceable part? Can I change it, if so, how? Thanks!

Hello all, When I start my car it will turn over, but then sort of stall itself? Il turn the key and instead of starting, stall/just won't start. Then il straight away turn the key again and it'll start, but run a bit lumpy (but that may just be because its a 172) ..: I don't care so much about...

Hi all, where can I find the crank sensor on my 172? I'm trying to clean it up as I suspect it's got something to do with the car not starting properly. Many thanks!

Quick question. About to do this possibly this evening - before I take everything apart, do I need any special tools to do it? (Like on the 1.2's) Thanks :) Ollie

I've jacked the car up and there appears to be a lot of gearbox oil on the gear selector itself where is this likely to be leaking from? I don't know whether its relevant but the car is making noises in 5th gear and when going from 4th - 5th it makes a High pitch squeak. Thanks

I need to change my sump gasket as I believe it's leaking. I've jacked the car up and had a look and the subframe appears to be in the way of half the bolts. What's the best way around this problem? Many thanks Ollie

Hi all Trying to get the top mounts off and they just aren't shifting any ideas?

When changing the front springs and undoing the top mount is it bad to spin the shock? Having trouble undoing the bolt. Can I use a rattle gun to undo it all? Thanks Ollie

Is that needed? I took mine off as it was a bit tatty and someone I work with Said it could potentially make the paint on the top of the bonnet bubble because of the engine heat. Is this true? If so I am now regretting removing it lol... Will it be okay? Ollie

What's the best way to block these off? Mine don't work and I want to blank them off anyway and nows the time as the drivers side one is just leaking screen wash out of it and dripping onto the floor.... So yeah, what's the easiest way to block them off? Cheers :)

Hi all, apologies in advance if this thread already exists, just I couldn't find it. Im looking to lower the clio and I don't want to go down the coilover route. All I want to achieve is getting rid of pretty much all the arch gap (I am running the standard 16" 172 alloys) Has anybody got any...

Hi all. My rear wiper blank (plastic half circular bit that wiper is attached to) has faded and is now very grey and looks pants. Is this easy to take off? If so, how do I do it? I want it off to spray and then re attach so I don't want to just rip it off! Many thanks :)

Girl driving. Followed 2 cars behind you into ladymead and then looked over at you as I overtook :) Car looked nice! Standard, but nice. Didn't see any CS stickers, but you never know

Trying to fit my rs grill back onto car which is proving difficult with this black box thing on the back. Do I need it? What's it even used for? ! Ollie Fitted. Drove me absolutely mad that did! Still interested to know what it is anyhow.

Is there a cheap way to repair engine mounts without having to buy new ones? Very short on cash ATM and my drivers side engine mount is dead. It would only need to be a temporary fix until I get paid again or something, just don't like driving it with it knocking! Thanks in advance for help...

When I turn my power steering pump is quite loud and a Mate of mine said it needs replacing. Are these expensive to replace? How can I be so sure he's right as everything feels fine? And is there a way I can check it needs doing? Thanks

Just drove past now. Looked well smart - what wheels are they? Ollie

Looked nice, and very clean! Also lowered? Are you on here? You were turning right at the crossroads heading towards the little co-op and the wooden bridge pub! Ollie
