72k i wish !! I'm on 46k at the moment . Last year had a problem with it juddering up 2500 revs so i took it to a local garage for ecu checking out and it turned out it was the spark plugs so he replaced em and its been as good as new ever since . I was gonna look at changing em myself every 12k...

Anybody changed the spark plugs on a MK2 172 and what plugs do ya recommend ? When you remove the cover on the engine ( not the plastic one ) does it have a gasket and will it need replacing ? Cheers , MrBillyUk !

Had the same problem on my new 172 , sticking handbrake when parked overnight but released itself when i drove off , lasted a couple of months then went right on its own . I guess its just the back brakes being new and a bit stiff ! MrBillyUk

Have you got any figures from K+N yet , bhp and torque ??

Don't know what the fuss is all about with a car being an import . All Clio Sports are made in the same Alpine factory . Only difference is with an import is that the have a factory fitted immobiliser and no alarm . I saved £1500 buying an import then had a Toad cat 1 alarm fitted job sorted ,lol .

Cheers Brun ur a star m8 Regards MrBillyUk

I was quoted for a 36K Service on a Mk2 172 from Sunwins Renault in Preston £325 . I asked em what they actually dId for £325 and it was exactly the same as the 12 and 24 k and they wanted and extra £8.00 for the pollen filter . Don't ya just love owning a Clio ,lol

You can put 2 types of tyres on your car just keep the same at the front and same at the back cos different brands will grip slightly different . I'd go for Toyo proxes T1 - R 's or T1 - S's . Had 2 new ones ( 195 x 45 x 16's ) fitted yesterday £140.00

I always put my new tyres on the back and swap the back wheels to the front for 2 reasons ! 1st if you have tyres with hardly any tread on the back and you brake hard , especially in the wet or on a bend the front end will stop and the back will slide and want to overtake the front end ...
