What time? Might have been me, was down that way visiting some mates! CS sticker top central in back window...172 with 182 wheels BTW :)

Spotted along Llwynypia road i think, today about half hour ago. Looked like a blue 172 cup with oval Magnex (?) exhaust. I passed you in my black 172. Anyone here?

Hi Successfully replaced my 172 wheel with a 182 wheel this weekend, noticed today when driving that the wheel is very slightly turned to the right when driving straight on a straight road, car park etc. Could this just be tracking I hadn#t notcied before, or do I need to take the wheel off...

Eibach Sportlines to lower 30mm for a cost effective mod! As for buying make sure all belt have been done/will be done before buying Aux belt, tensioner and idler 36k and Cambelt 72k

Hey man Directline wanted £350 extra just to be lowered by 30mm on sportlines FFS when I was with them. I changed over to a multicar policy on Admiral (my RS 172 and missus' Fiesta Zetech) and they have been spot on. No extra for lowering less than 50mm IIRC.

Thanks Chris, much appreciated. Guess I'll just use the existing airbag. Also, how easy is it to take the silver renaultsport logo off the 172 wheel and fit it to the new 182 wheel?

or if he took the tumbgrips off the 182 wheel would they fir directly onto the 172 wheel?

Morning all My mate also has a 172 and his wheel is f*cked as it's melted and thumbgrips have gone. He's got a 182 wheel ready to fit and I've had a look at the guide in the guides section. Might seem like a stoooopid question, but why do you have to remove the airbag if the new wheel...

Gen renault Sport one on ebay!

With mine whine is still there when stationary as long as I'm revving the engine and turning at the same time. Can get a used PAS pump with 3 month warranty for £30 - get in touch with Cit-Ren.

Check your fluid for PAS is full - top right of engine bay as your looking at the car. Also bleed any air of the system - go full lock a few times with engine off and then full lock a few times with engine on, with cap off PAS bottle Whining might be pump or might be aux belt idler pulley at...

Aye, think my pump is f*cked. Whines like a mother b**ch on heat.

Anyone used Slick 50 power steering fluid? Got a whiny PAS pump which needs changing but in the meantime was gonna use a bit of this to see if it eases the whine at all. Anone else tried?

Problem is it's a b**ch finding somewhere I can book it into in South Wales to get it done on a Saturday!! Really annoying, got the pump and got some quotes to get it done but it's finding the time! You reckon it's definately the PAS pump then?

yeah man, had the aux belt, tensioner and lower pulley changed last week. Sounds like it's coming from the PAS pump

thanks dude, very much appreciated, very kind of ya.

PS. pic would be brilliant thanks man

Reckon a faulty sensor could cause whining?

Having a bloody irritating whine from what sounds like the PAS pump, before I get it changed can anyone indicate where the PAS pump sensor is on a 172 Sport? Figured I'd check this first. Pic would be cool if available Cheers

Had car about 6 months, done it since then, thought it might have been aux belt problem but obviously not! PAS pump job is a biggie I imagine!

Hey guys Been having this irritating whine from my engine ever since I can remember. Basically in 1st and second gear when turning the wheel there is a whine (like the car sounds like when it's reversing) coming from the front right of the engine bay looking from the drivers seat. It only...

Last MOT (3 months ago) just said Advisory, rear brakes pitted slightly. On 78k miles!!!

Hi all Noticed that my front discs on my 172 have a fairly pronounced lip around the outer edge of the discs. Pads are in very good condition. I assume the discs are on their way out and need replacing? Or is it common? Just ask as my old 106 always had lips on the front disc after some use...

Black 172 with 182 anthracite cup pack wheels, wanting to paint my calipers, was thinking: Black Yellow or Silver Leaning towards yellow but in the abscence of any other yellow on the car might look a bit tacky? Any one got any pics of 182 wheeled cars with painted calipers? What ya reckon?

Anyone leave their feed pipe permanently disconnected like in this guide? Any disadvantages and what are the advantages...

307 splitters off ebay are the larger Pug ones, I bought one for my 172 Ph2 but ended up taking the f*cker off as it kept catching on everything, even though Im only lowered on sportlines! Smaller 307's are cool but I went for a small meggy one in the end - might be worth considering?

Haha, they were on the car when I bought it and I can't bring myself to change the tyres when there's like 5mm left on each wheel! Whats wrong with kumhos anyway? :D

Thanks man, best wad of cash I've spent in a while :D

Hmm, definately heard alternator pulley, Macks Garage in Pontypridd and Renatec in Bristol both mentioned alternator pulley!

Cool, that decides it then - a no! So many no's I wonder whether anyone with a 172 or 182 bothers with spacers at all!
