Yep....Snap On one is pretty good, slips over the seat pretty easily and I imagine would cover most seat sizes.

Ibiza has that bland VAG engine:( Quick though and good looking

Sounds pretty normal to me

Sounds easy (in theory) Has anyone got a K-tec splitter on their car?

After going to Castle Coombe at the weekend and seeing a Clio with a cup splitter next to one without I'm thinking of putting one on my car. I'm undecided about putting a K-tec carbon one on or just buying a brand new Renault one to avoid problems with fitment etc. Has anyone put a K-tec one...

Spot on

That' s not an airbox..it's a valve which alters the length of the intake to the airbox at different engine speeds improving torque. I would leave it in place unless your going to install an IK (Viper, Maxogen etc.)

Just a Japanese hairdressers car lol Wouldn't say it's loads faster at all

That is silly....they must b ehavig a laugh if they think that exhaust is okay. I would put a rocket up someone's ar*e at Renault for that

Your looking at £300 plus from Renault:( Go aftermarket

Second that Sports cat makes a good improvement over stock if you can stretch to the £250-300 that they cost new.

Who actually does make Halfords oil?

I wouldn't go as far as saying Magnatec is crap, it's just not the right oil to use in a 172/182. I ran my old Renault 19 16v on Magnatec 10/40w and it was fine.....old car though.

Had exactly the same problem on my girfriends 97 Clio. Managed to get a set of locks for £30....bit of a pain having two keys for the car but there we go. Worth ringing these guys if you need a set. http://www.cit-ren.co.uk/

Looking good:D

It's a good car but not that good Definatley worth the money for a collector though

Yep..pretty nose heavy so not as nimble as the 182

Sounds familiar to me Hope you get it sorted:D

If I had the time I'd buy a second OE airbox and modify it using glassfibre so I could put a cone inside it getting the best of both open/closed systems. Probbaly a lot of hassle though so I would just stick with the OE airbox and drop in a good panel filter (K&N, Green or ITG).

Mmmmm the goons at Renault seem to have a problem with bottom rad hoses....had the same problem with my old 16 16v after it had been to the dealers!

Spot on:D

I wouldn't say the 172 is an expensive car to run at all....compared to my old WRX the petrol and insurance is cheap! Keep the car and have fun in it:D

Renault Bath cheap.....I don't think so. I go a quote of £600 for a cambelt change which is due next year. f**k that

Definately 182....I don't think the one lady owner would be bothered to do the exhaust work to make the 172 look like the 182. IMO there is nothing wrong with it even if it is an import....don't get stressed by all this resale value bs....it's a French car at the end of the day so your boung...

K-tec do clear ones

Good luck with the new car:D

I'd try and save up for the sports cat Steve....it is expensive but with roadside checks becoming more common etc it'll give you peace of mind.....also makes a good improvement over stock. The bolts at the manifold end of the downpipe are indeed very awkward to get to but if you've done the...

Re: lol... non RS clios heaps of sh*t! Or you could have your own place and an RS....it's hardly an expensive car to run is it

What an awful looking car....ruined

Wouldn't bother...looks gash too.
