They wouldnt come to me. Check out blackcircles.co.uk

I know of someone who can do small parts in CF. Specialises in supercharger cases for drag cars.

Having a Ph1 172 ( Sunflower ). Paint is looking a bit jaded and suffering fallout from silver birch. What is the best product \ method to get the best finish ? What is this clay stuff all about ? Anyone use Deep Crystal Paint Cleaner ?

wont need to get it rebalanced either if it doesnt move on the rim.

Looking to change my rears and seriously looking at the adjustable rear struts from GAZ but have read the comments on here. Are the struts as bad as they are made out or is it just the coilovers that have issues ?

i think it will only be recorded if it is damaged and the insurance company write it off or pay out on it. should get removed by the insurance company. i believe you can also have it removed yourself under the correct conditions.

i think you may find that the thermo stat opens at pressure as well as temp. if you are losing pressure from the system then this couls stop it from opening. is it possible to do a leak down test ? i think this should detect a head gasket problem. any leaks from around the pump ? is the pump...

Im not sure but it would seem that Yozzasport are listing cup dampers at £99 a piece and standard 172 at £50 something. I would say there must be a difference ?

Im looking for the same. Mine have done 85k - do you think they need replacing ? How much are the fronts and whats the difference between the 172\Cup and 182 fron struts ? Cheers

Phase 1 172. While braking heavily the car pulls to the left. When the abs kicks in the car straigtens up again. I guess this is due to a sticking caliper. Any ideas on which side would be sticking and how i go about fixing it....... Otherwise car steers and drives very straight. Cheers

Phase 1 172. On buying this car the front fogs did not work. Closer inspection fuse blown. Replace fuse and it blows immediately. Before i get the meters out is this a common problem ? Where do i start ?

Car is Phase 1 172. Can i fit 3mm spacers on rear and still use the standard wheel bolts ?

Anyone have part nos for front suspension ? Will this fit my Mk1 172 (2000) ?

On the race car we vac out all air to remove moisture and refill with nitrogen. More stable and less affected by temp change making pressures consistent.

did you get those locally mate ? how much ? Mike

Possibly but what about the ratings ?

Should i fit a 172 into my wifes Scenic ? :) Has it been done before ?

oops - sorry guys. i remember now i had my belt done at the same time as replacing the pump. the pump bearing failed and started to lose water. still worth doing while all the other gubbins are off if the car is an early 172.

Anyone have a diagram for the fusebox in the interior and the ratings for each fuse ?

Wrong - the water pump drives off the cambelt. Change it at the same time if you can afford it. The pump is about £45. If it goes then you will have to do the belt again !

i was quoted £59 each new last week from corbymotorsport.co.uk

Sorting the handling !

Not sure of the handling at the moment. Doesnt feel planted. Needs acouple of tyres and a track for a start. Probably stay with oem dampers and eibachs. Any suggestions ?

Just a quick pic of my latest purchase ! One of 31 apparently ! http://i286.photobucket.com/albums/ll94/mgoode180566/clio-2.jpg

Thanks ill give it a try. Break out the mig set !

Local supplier has GAZ rear struts available at £59 a piece. How do these compare to standard fitment which i was originally going for ? I believe the Renault items are about the same price but GAZ are adjustable in compression and rebound. Any thoughts ?

what have you been quoted from Renault ?

how much are the shocks from Renault ?
