Yeah they are the ones. Just trying to decided if I should refurb my ones or buy them. Any picture would help me gay an idea of what they would look like on a clio.

As above I'm looking at a set of megane 16" wheels, 10 spoke if there are different types. Anyone got a pic of them fitted to a ph2 Clio? Also how do they compare weight wise to the standard sport wheels?

Yeah my k&n get so heat soaked, after a drive it's pretty hot to touch so can't be doing much for the car. Guess I will have to look out for a inlet pipe and get a pipercross filter

I was looking at one full assembled with pipe. So I take it the pipe will work ok? Also what shape is yours, as the one I'm looking at is rectangular.

It would be interesting to know what the difference is scutch also are you using your standard pipe? Laine, I have a standard airbox in the garage. Would be interested in the inlet pipe if you have one?

If I went for the V6 air box will the V6 ilet pipe fit as well? Looking at it I might have to get a long breath tube?

Hi all Sorry if this has been done to death, did have a brief search but didn't find much. I have a k&n on my ph2 172 which I want to swap to an air box. What would be the best air box option? Ph1, ph2 or V6?

Good to meet a few of you there. I will try and put a few pics up soon. Anyone know what car won in the end?

Hi all I am looking to refurb then paint my wheels as the have been scuffed a bit by the previous owner. Can someone recommend a good alloy punty/filler? And the is halfords spray paint ok for wheels?

Sorry its a bit delayed, but thanks for the help car was all sorted in time for beaulieu :) good to see a few of you there on Sunday.

Just got the kit ang it's half complete great! Renault want over £30 for it! Luckily my local motor shop is getting it tomorrow for £7. There is still hope I will make beaulieu Sunday :)

I did here they were the same when I was looking for parts. However I have ordered new pins etc and pads a I don't want to miss something again. Will bare in mind for the future though. I just hope everything comes before the weekend as I was hoping to go to beaulieu this Sunday

Well I must admit it was stupid of me not to notice the missing pin as have changed several brake pads before and they all had them. I thought maybe it was held in by the lug on the back of the pad. Just glad I took it for a gentle test drive first as I wasn't 100 % sure. Got the new parts on...

The sport badge on a 172 boot

Just wondering as mine has been taken off and there arent any holes. So thought it could be a new boot lid. Do you know where I can buy a new badge?

Sorry to hijack the thread but is this the same for the Renault sport badge? Would there be holes left in the boot if it was taken off?

Yeah your right, was just on the hope some one might have a mintex pad laying around. I am still in shock how bad the back brakes were. 3pads, f**ked bearing and disc. Only went through a mot when I brought it in late march. And in the end sent me into a spin and motorway barrier a few weeks back!

Just a couple of questions. Firstly my rear caliper looks different to the one pictured. My bolts are at the back of the caliper when you take it off. Are they different from the 172 and 182? Secondly, a bit random but I know only have three pads. Does anyone have a spare pad they want to sell?

Well looking at the pic think mine is missing everything in the kit below. Assuming this is the correct kit for the 172? http://item.mobileweb.ebay.co.uk/viewitem?itemId=160786285993&index=0&nav=SEARCH&nid=57757571611

Well halfords said the don't stock the pads. I have seen some clips for the saxi vts which I believe have the same rear brakes?

I thought it was odd as there is always pins or clips on other cars I've had. But then I maybe I should have noticed as there was only one pad on one side to start with. Plus the disc was buggered and bearing was in pieces! Only noticed as it put me into a motorway barrier the other day...

Hi guys I just fitted new rear discs and pads to my 172. Took it for a test drive and the pads fell out! Nnow there were no pins on the old pads, are there meant to be pins or clips. If not what did I do wrong? Is there a certain way of holding them in place?

Hi guys I have brought A set of mintex mdc1997 rear discs. Does anyone know if these are correct for a 52 reg 172 with bearings and abs rings.

Ok so don't need a remap or anything silly. Also I have a full set, shall I change them all or just the one with a fault? Cheers

Hi all. I have been having problems with my car over fueling mainly when the engine is cold. I have had it diagnosed at a garage and it showed injector 1 fault. I have brought a secondhand set of injector with rail, am I able to swap them over or is it not as simple as that.

does anyone know a good place near berkshire maidenhead to get diagnostics done?

well im not sure if its linked but i did change the thermostat a few weeks back, could this have caused it?

but it never seemed to for the first 3-4 weeks??

Hi guys My car has a weird problem when cold. its started off by feeling like the engine was braking, almost like i was driving with the handbrake on. this was mainly in first and second and went away when the car warmed up. now i have noticed in second it really hesitates around 3000 rpm bit...

renault main dealers can normally get them in same day if you go before 12. think there about £19.80. however i went to a local motor shop and got one for £9 off the shelf.
