Upgradinng the crappy renault rear speakers for some parcel shelf 6x9's - whats best way to do this? remove the old speakers and extend the wiring was my obvious guess but just thought i would ask some people who actually know what they are talking about ha ha

Basically as the title - is there anywhere i can look for the pics of my car going round the track? like who is the photographer that was taking them? any ideas?

Very nicely polished trophy outside 88 noodle bar in Huddersfield with reg ending tya :) looks ready for trax IMO!

Oh dear - just get my rear exhaust sorted and working the way i want it and now it seems the CAT is leaking :-@ Noticed a SEVERE drop in economy last week or so so finnaly had a look under her today and sure enough the seam that runs around my CAT is leaking :-( Fixable? If not how much is...

Washed my car today and there are huge dents at the front of my roof :-/ and a crease line. Looks like it's been punched or something :( anyone got any suggestions or know of a good dent specialist in Yorkshire??

For some reason wont let me start a thread under "Trax 2010" so I have shoved it here and hope a mod moves it! Anyway as per the title, is anyone else staying at this hotel (or any in Northampton) as a night out might just be in order ;)

Had my car detailed the other week by JD, looks amazing now! Was waxed at the time with Nattys blue - looks great and am gonna re wax with nattys b4 trax but wondering now what wax to get for the winter season? Any suggestions???? Also when I do come to re-wax her for trax, should i just wash...

Took my monaco over to see Jamie (JD) today :) and may I just say WOW! I cant beleive how amazing my car looks now!!! Absolutley cracking job, paintwork looks fantastic, its like a mirror! Beautiful day too, so perfect for taking photos..... (cant wait to see yours Jamie!) - all in all a great...

Dunno what it is (its not my tyre pressures) but the ride in my 172 has suddenly become awful, really rattly and jolty and shaky on MOST roads unless they are REALLY smooth its noisy and horrible, i mean dont get me wrong clios arent the most comfortable car but this is a lot worse! its not my...

Dunno if im only one with this issue (i doubt it tbh!) but there is a VERY annoying rattle that sounds like loose panels or a stray bolt coming from BOTH sides of the car and it sounds to be in the vicinity of the door pillars or the door itself (it sounds to come from near my right ear tbh) and...

Here we go again..... noticed a very sudden (literally last few days) drop in my fuel economy - and to a certain degree my performance. Automatically first thoughts were with the exhaust, rear section is fine, cat and front are VERY rusty but dont appear to be blowing....so are we all in...

Had a day cleaning cars, my monaco, my friends dynamique (and an audi a4 but we wont bother talking about that) - all waxed and shiny! Thought the two clios looked good together, shame i cocked up the photos with my finger at the corner lol

Finally got some pics of my Monaco with her new 182 Alloys on (many thanks to Collier...these really make the car now) Gave her a good long clean too as she had got pretty bug covered and filthy from driving down to the Renaultsport meet on sunday! Anyway here she is in the sun...perfect day...

BUGGER! Went for fuel this morning, must have stepped in diesel or something as when driving home foot slipped off the bloody clutch and went straight into the back of a Merc van :dapprove: Luckily tho the tough little Clio has come off practically unscathed...... broken number plate (can live...

Thought i would put these on, this was my first 172, bought with 24k on the clock in IMMACULATE condition back in 2006 i think..... absolutly loved it, but was taken in the night by my lodger at the time and wrapped round a Skoda Octavia :mad:......as you will see from the end pics, she was...

Few pics of my monaco fresh back from a valet...... still looks a little dull paintwork wise, could really do with a full detail and machine polish i think :-( Wheels come first tho! Pics of the 182 wheels to follow!!

Ha ha just found this on my hard drive, classic pic of my old clio dressed up for my gf's ball...... camp as a row of tents! u can c me in the background stoood with her lol

The passenger side rear speaker (by the seat) vibrates HORRIBLY and makes listening to decent music at vol 18+ pretty much impossible! i cant decide if its the speaker itself or the plastic cover??? Any ideas/suggestions?? I cant be the only person with this problem!

This is gonna sound like nowt but its really annoying lol! There is an intermittent buzzing like a wasp stuck inside my steering column.... every now and then it will just start to buzz! any idea what the hell it is and how i can stop it??? My passenger door already squeaks and whines but iv...

Yesterday afternoon flying along woodhead road from holmfirth towards huddersfield, my old ph2 clio 172 X4TDH - lol nice to see she is still running which is a shock tbh as I part ex'd her nearly 6 months ago with over 110k on the clock, and she was not healthy (I only had her 2 months, got her...

Saw a nice 182 parked outside shopping centre on main road into Holmfirth, then saw another ph1 172 few mins later by a petrol station on the same road!

OH NO! Driving home from work tonight, and randomly as Im going along, the headlights suddenly went out! Sidelights and rear lights were however still working fine! Pulled over and turned off the engine, fired back up, still no headlights (sides, rear and f/beam all fine) just the bloody xenons...

Right heres a puzzler...... For starters we all know Renault reccomend 98 Ron fuel for the 172/182.... now usually I fill mine with Super Plus from Sainsburys (97 Ron btw) and get damn good fuel economy. Last week however I had reason to fill up at a Tesco with there Super Plus (99 Ron). In the...

Paintwork is looking a bit swirly on my 172, was gonna have a bash at polishing her up myself but would much prefer to get her machine polished? Anyone know anyone good round the Huddersfield area? How much should i expect to pay for a machine polish in this day and age anyway? Never bothered...

My Clio 172 seems to be having a paddy.... had the tracking done the other day (badly may I add - see my other thread!) and since then the fuel economy has dropped from a pleasent avergage of 36mpg, to a much less satisfying 32mpg (at one point it went to 29.9 and i was most alarmed) I havent...

Getting vexed now. Took my car (ph 2 172) to sort its tracking out (sterring wheel crooked to the left when driving straight) and they claim they have tracked it up perfectly but now after just 2 days the wheel is sitting crooked and the car feels very wobbly. WTF to do! Took it back and they...

This may very well sound like a dumb question but does anyone know the correct tyre pressures for a standard clio 172 with the factory standard alloys (16") - the car doesnt have an owners manual lol and its not written on teh door sill or anything :-S Iv heard it should be 32 front 30 rear? Is...

Hello everyone! Im new to this forum and could use some help please! I have recently bought a 2004 172 which from what I can tell has NEVER had its belts changed..... it has done 45k with FSH - I would imagine that I should have the car looked at asap. Is there anyway of the mechanics looking at...
