    Car/Parts Theft

    I live in a nice area, which is next to a pretty bad one tbh lol. I thought buying a Clio 172 would be a bit of a bonus as it looks pretty standard, not that sporty compared to the others, where as the Fiesta ST is very OTT compared to the bog standard Fiesta. Some locking wheel nuts are on...

    Car/Parts Theft

    Hello gents, I recently had a Fiesta ST where bits were going missing all the time, including a full set of alloy wheels. I sold that for the reason of theft, and bought a Clio 172, however, I came home tonight to find a centre cap twisted one way to reveal the wheel nuts. After a bit of...

    Performance Spark Plugs

    I just changed mine for Denso Iridium, not noticed any difference and I didn't put them in for any difference, just a better quality sparkplug - I heard a lot of rave about them in the past in other cars and thought I'd give them a go. From what I've heard they melt quickly as well. They...

    Parrot MKi9200 in a 172

    Hi Team! Do I need a harness to get it to work with my stereo? and will I lose the ability of my steering wheel controls? Where do you guys place the little screen thing? Cheers Alex

    Engine oil found when changing spark plugs?

    Would this cause a slight missfire on tickover lads? I've just changed the plugs because of the missfire and mine were SWIMMING in oil, thought it may have been a previous owner pouring oil over the edge by accident. Still have that miss, any ideas? (sorry for the thread hijack if its unrelated)

    Clio Spare Wheel

    Hi, I've recently bought my CS 172, I had to get a few things for it, including a spare wheel. However, above the spare wheel and kit is there supposed to be some kind of board to stop the carpet dipping when you put stuff in the boot? Cheers Alex

    172 insurance

    I insured mine last night with Churchill - 21 with 3 years NCB and I paid around £700? Didn't think it was that bad as my Fiesta ST was around 800 notes.

    Buzzing Noice in Cabin

    Nah its constant mate as soon as you turn the ignition on. Just did a search and I'm quite glad a new one is only £25+VAT. Would a new one stop the buzzing or have I got to do a botch job with some sound deadening or something?
