Mine's been pretty pants today! Tried to overtake someone in second gear at about 20mph and I had almost no power! lol Didn't really feel it jolting though which is a first... My friend gave me a couple of coil igniters (I think he said they were "Pen type"), which he thinks are for a phase...

Mines half warmed up, doesn't do it much when warm though. Almost feels like wheels are losing grip for a second or clutch is slipping. My mates got a couple of coil packs so I'll try them and some new plugs first! (plugs are about a month overdue anyways!)

Oooo I'll try that my self! Cheaper than a coil pack!!! What's the best thing to do? Just an oily rag or get some white spirits on it or something?

I was a couple of cars behind, you turned left on to the A5, then on to the A47 past Dodwells Bridge industrial estate! You may have spotted me driving like a maniac when people wouldn't let me filter in!! lol :rasp:

I'm having a similar problem, but mine doesn't happen very often. Sometimes under light acceleration the car judders for a second or two, my revs won't increase, but they don't fall either. I've been doing some reading and I'm planning on changing my coil pack and spark plugs as I've seen ALOT...

Spotted again this morning near cash converters turning right on to the Roanne Ringway! :)

Yeah my mates had a few now, they're pretty highly strung! Need to get the budgets off the back and get some decent part worn performance tyres on there. Then in a few months get 4 brand new decent tyres. Pretty pleased with it now, since putting the front tyres on all the snatching etc... has...

Parked on the lawns in hinckley at about 14:40 today. Plate was something like d3wn??

I know I know!! So chavvy :-( Just started a new job so can't afford a stealth yet! At least they didn't chop the bumper to bits!

Thanks guys!! :)

I also agree. Its what was on there When I bought it. It is on my list as you can see. It works though so its not a priority. Same with the badges. Think its an import so dunno if that's why??

My ONLY reflection shot! :dapprove:

Hi All, I posted some crap pics when I first joined in Feb' that I took off of AutoTrader when I bought the car. So far I've; Had new rear axle bushes Serviced with Millers 5w40, and 75w-80 (gearbox) Plans: Carbon front diamond Carbon splitter Carbon dash inserts Coilovers (maybe) Viper...

I rang everywhere I could think of in my town to get a wiper arm remover, and 9/10 responses were "you don't need a tool to remove the wiper blades..." :S The one place that could actually order one, and actually listened to what I asked, wanted £29.99!

Hiya! Quick question before I potentially waste £20... I have a 2002 ph2 172 (not a cup) with a speedo issue. Mine was imported from france when it was new! This should be a gearbox sensor... correct?:o

Don't know if this has been posted, but I'm at work so it's a quick post!! I had problems removing my wiper arms and gave up twice before paying a visit to the local halfords (I know, they're crap...) I spotted one of these...

Thanks Gray, It's done 73k now and is due a change anyway so gonna get it changed. Hoping it loosens everything up nicely!

Hi all, Is the gearbox oil for a 2002 172 (non cup) 75w-80? And is it fully syn?? Got it booked in to be changed as gear rarely some gear changes are tight and theres like a rattling noise when manouvering/using the clutch to get bite so I'm thinking it may be low? Never crunches or anything...

Spotted at about 8:20 this morning at the very start of Coventry road near the leisure center. I was at the traffic lights in the iceberg 172 going the opposite way. :-)

Let me know if any one comes up with anything... or if someone could tell me the location of the pump please?! :o

Glad it's not just me!! :approve: I was panicking initially thinking it was my aux belt, but then realised I was being stupid!! lol I had a quick look around the engine bay this morning and I don't even know where the power steering pump is??? lol I've noticed that the steering feels like it's...

Hey, Yeah the fluids fine... :-(

Hi All, Still a bit of a noob when it comes to Clio 1*2's so excuse my stupidness... Is the power steering belt driven?? Sometimes, when cold, usually when full lock is on, the streering wheel... doesn't jolt... but there's feedback....??? (Hard to explain sorry). And theres a loud screeching...

I'm not to sure, smiler might know as he seems to have found the problem on his!

Hi All, After tracking was done, didn't really notice a difference. Back end is still to lively! However, had new front tyres on today which has really kicked the front end in to shape! I am planning on getting new rears maybe next month! I've checked shocks time and time again and there...

Hi Damo, Sorry I didn't post back! Been hectic!! Everything was fitted ok, I'm just gonna have to put up with it!! lol

Yeah mine have a blue tint. Still bright enough. They were the only one's available at the time. 6000k are pure white. Ill.keep my eyed open. Watch out for the iceberg 172. Lol

Apparently you can just about reach it without removing bumper but its a million times easier if you do!!! Cant remove headlights without taking bumper off either. Although you wont need to remove them to change the washer. There's a guide on here somewhere showing how to remove bumper, from...

I got a pair of 8000k d2s bulbs off ebay for £40! Look mint!! Standards are something like 4300k btw. :-)

Nice!! I couldn't see anything wrong with mine. Sometimes "stiff " when changing gear noe. Have to re-pump clutch sometimes. No crunching though.
