Old question I know but i've searched and can't find much. My dad's mate has leaking rear shocks on his 172. It is still under warranty but they have said they won't replace them. Am I correct in saying he simply needs to contact Renault UK and they will arrange with the dealer? Any help...

Sorry to resurect this old chestnut. I've found the details of the 182 and phase 1 but not the phase 2 172. What would be the optimum setup considering I have Apex -40's? Ben

I have a phase 2 172 which is currently on Apex -40's. My 2 front tyres are shot and the rears aren't far off either. Which tyres are the best VFM. I drive enthusiastically so need a decent level of grip without any traumas in the wet. I have been looking at Yoko' A539's, 195/45/16 with...

It's had a whack but fecking hell. That's one cheap engine conversion. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/renault-clio-172-sport-accident-damaged_W0QQitemZ290008154995QQihZ019QQcategoryZ10410QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

Good to see the car is back on the road mate, is it all sorted now? I was a car behind you in the queue into the car park.

Can you remove the front/lid of a mk2 phase 2 glovebox? My mates is scratched to hell but it appears to be part of the dash. Could the rivets underneath not be removed and refitted? Ben

Not mine: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/renault-clio-182-cup-front-bumper-side-skirts_W0QQitemZ160004376683QQihZ006QQcategoryZ10410QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem Looks like a good price.

Cheers for the corteous driving by Gatecrasher earlier mate. Car looked as good as ever. Where were you going?

As above. For the past 2 months, my airbag and service lights will stay lit after I have started the car and every other light has gone out. This can sometimes be cured by turning off the ignition and turning it on again, I even did it on the motorway last week whilst moving LOL. It only...

I'm buying the Alpine CDE-9850RI headunit for my phase 2 172. http://caraudiosecurity.com/shop/product/products_id/4526.html I can get the unit for £150 delivered but also want the stalk/display adaptors. Is this what I need for the display...

This afternoon. Cup packed 182 in inferno I think. Car looked well. I was in the silver 172 with Turinis and Trophy spoiler.

I've spotted this Alpine CDE-9850IR on t'ebay but are they any good. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=9736103430&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&rd=1 The price looks fantastic but what about the unit itself. I especially like the Ipod connectivity and the fact that it...

After getting my new Ipod, I now want to link it straight into the car. I've just spotted this headunit on Ebay which has a direct Ipod link and cable included which seems like a bargain. The other thing that attracts me to Alpine is there interfacing with the stalk...

Engine cover bolt. Don't know how, where or when but it has gone. Anyone got a spare or have any contacts other than the stealers. I'd love them in silver if they are available.

After finding my backbox had broken again today, I returned home from Powerflow with a newly reinforced exhaust and decided to give the old girl a clean inside and out. After getting abuse for my poor quality pics, I have finally used a digital camera although it is blatantly obvious I am no...

After Tesco taking the liberty of re-insuring my car without giving me prior notice, I went on a mission for a new insurer yesterday. My car is a 51 plate 172 with Trophy spoiler, splitter, Cup Turinis, lowered on Apex -40's, Strut brace, Custom stainless with Janspeed sports cat and remap...

Can it be done? The system is the standard phase 2 172 headunit which has the 6 cd changer.

Does anyone have pictures of the mounting points of their 172 backboxes? Since I had my new backbox fitted last week, it has slowly started to sag and drop to the right again. I can tighten the clamp but I think the problem will re-occur. I have seen back boxes with two mount points, like...

Currently buying in some bits for my 36k service on my 172. I want to have the brake fluid and power steering fluid changed as well as the coolant. Which viscosity of brake fluid would you advise, dot 4 or 5? What about power steering fluid, are there varying levels as with brake fluid...

As above. I heard comments like 'the 2 is the worst' but how/why?

After the fiasco of my Cobra backbox falling off 2 days ago, I contacted Custom Piped in Doncaster who fitted the system originally and took the bits to be repaired/repalced. All I can say is what fantastic service. I wasn't the original purchaser of the exhaust but no questions were asked...

Following on from this thread: http://cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?t=139954 I bought my car with a custom Cobra exhaust which the previous owner had fitted on 20.06.05. The receipt states that the exhaust has a lifetime guarantee but also states the previous owners name and contact...

My Cobra backbox has just fallen off of my 172. I knew it was cracked slightly but it has just completely collapsed. The problem I have is that the box that has just come off is custom and has been cut into the bumper. Can anyone tell from the pics if an off the shelf box like a Magnex will...

Not got any link as the dealer has taken it off the trader and his site. 03 plate, 28k, 1 owner from new, Flame red. Looks tidy enough though I didn't get chance to drive it as I rolled up late. Renault FSH. No apparent issues with mounts or exhaust/4k rattle. No stonechips or car park dents...

Yesterday at about 14.00 in Kippax. Car looked nice and tidy.

Now that the sun is out, it seems that every man and his dog is out for a race. Friday was the worst day so far on the way to work. I had a Porsche Cayenne trying to jump me to the lights, a 530d glued to my bumper coming onto a roundabout, needless to say he wasn't there on the other side...

Following on from another thread. Is there any quick and easy way of measuring AFR? I had my ecu mapped a while ago which did make a difference but I am now getting a sooty exhaust. Now I wouldn't think a sooty exhaust definately meant I was running rich but I would like to know wether I can...

I wasn't sure wether this should go in other marques or here as it is a tuning and mechanical question. My mates 307 XSI has snapped its Cat at the manifold end. A new one should be here tomorrow but I said I may as well service the car at the same time as it hasn't been done for ages. My...
