ive got the cable but not changer in my 2003, some fucker must have nabbed it at the dealer i got it from lol, dude there with a 51 plate 172 probably!
if i was you id travel a bit and get John @ Progrip Bonnybridge to do it, just got my 172 back from him, 48k service without air filter (got a panel filter) was just over £80! millers oil used by him and genuine parts, also does a good check of the car and highlights any other issues

you on here? I was in the silver 172, was your 182 standard, was quick if it was lol i was only starting to very very slowly gain after about 140 erm mpg!
Anyway car looked sweet!
anyone got a part number or price, expecting it to be a fortune so not even bothered to phone up or go in, but if anyone has a price for me to laugh at that will be great lol
do they do service exhange on them?
good old dual mass flywheel on the dci is shot, megane one poped up on ebay, common problem on diesels, some even recomend a flywheel channge with a clutch change
im getting a nice one im sick fed up of my 172 its just made my mind up for me today with the advisory list from my service, its getting sorted and punted
hard on the brakes even from 145mph+ it brakes in a complete straight line no problem at all, ive been driving the dci on 15" wheels all winter and i know on my old clio it drove like a dog on 16s compaired to 15s and assuming 172's are the same just never had a shot of this car with 15s on it...
every road to be honest, its always tramlined on roads (all my clios have with 16" wheels) but this is worse, im putting the dci 15" wheels on it on tuesday to take it a run and see if its the tyres/wheel size/width!
i love this myth about clio gearboxes, dont turbo it it will break the box, dont supercharge it the box wont take it dont fit a K&N filter the extra power will eat the box.... how many people actually have issues with the boxes apart from the cars that have been humped about wheelspinning...
although the VVT doesnt adjust at 5,000rpm, if it isnt adjusting at all (even at 1800) then its going to run out of steam high up the revs (ie over 5k) so id be looking at the dephaser
on ebay, selling due to selling the car, only fitted last month, fit 1.2, 1.4, 1.6 and dci models!

hi mate sorry wont end early letting it run, and selling due to selling the car, nice dci 100 turned up near me with Climate control so im wanting it, plus my dci getting on abit now with 150k!
possible but surely it would pull to one side both under acceleration and at speed, its pulling from side to side especially when crossing the lines in middle of the road, just like tramlining but worse
tyres done about 1k before the geometry was done as i wanted to wait till it had a new set on it before i done it but then had to do a long trip so got it done so they had a bit of uneaven wear on them so thought that could cause it
what could cause a clio 172 to wander over the road? its happening on full throttle under hard acceleration, its not torque steer as its not a thing its done untill recently. so far ive tried...
new track rods
new track rod ends
new bottom arms and bushes
full geometry setup
only other...
