Any guides around for replacing heater resistor, preferably with pics? Did a search but no luck even though I waded through a few pages Cheers

Taken my car to three different garages now (local/Sh*t Fit/Nationwide) of varying sizes to sort my tracking out, as my car is pulling to the right. Had everything else checked out so it's only a tracking problem. Each time the garages have said "Oh it's pretty out, we've sorted it now" and...

Spotted on my way home from work...about 5.10pm Blue 197 (or 200??) with a red 172 or 172 replica (couldn't get a good look, black wheels) Red pulled into Rhondda Valet, beeped to bluey then I was behind the blue in my black 172.

Any easy fixes for stopping a headlight washer jet leaking? Don't really want to f*ck around with taking the bumper off, even though most say it's an easy job. One headlight washer jet is dribbling water all of a sudden. Any way of blocking it off or replacing without bumper removal? Ta

Looking to get a set of four new tyres for my 2002 172 Clio. Would I be able to go for 205/45/16 rather than 195/45/16 for a wider stance? Any likely problems? Lowered on Eibach Sportlines. Ta!

Usually spot a black 172/182 Sport going up Graig hill over Pencoedcae in the mornings, Pontypridd South Wales, black modded Sport with red wing mirrors and white wheels!

Yo, Anyone have any recommendations as to where I can go for paint correction/detailing in South Wales? Preferably around Cardiff. Willing to pay a tidy amount but nothing too ridiculous. Black 172, want to get the paint up to scratch as there's a fair bit of swirling going on. Simply don't...

Finally had a chance to snap some pics of my 172 after a good detailing session. Been on the site a while but have not yet posted pics. Detailing wise I'm a noob. Used Megs wash, Autoglym SRP, Carabuna Wax and Red Mist and Megs Endurance tyre gel. Clayed it about a month ago with Megs quick...

Spotted along Llwynypia road i think, today about half hour ago. Looked like a blue 172 cup with oval Magnex (?) exhaust. I passed you in my black 172. Anyone here?

Hi Successfully replaced my 172 wheel with a 182 wheel this weekend, noticed today when driving that the wheel is very slightly turned to the right when driving straight on a straight road, car park etc. Could this just be tracking I hadn#t notcied before, or do I need to take the wheel off...

Morning all My mate also has a 172 and his wheel is f*cked as it's melted and thumbgrips have gone. He's got a 182 wheel ready to fit and I've had a look at the guide in the guides section. Might seem like a stoooopid question, but why do you have to remove the airbag if the new wheel...

Anyone used Slick 50 power steering fluid? Got a whiny PAS pump which needs changing but in the meantime was gonna use a bit of this to see if it eases the whine at all. Anone else tried?

Having a bloody irritating whine from what sounds like the PAS pump, before I get it changed can anyone indicate where the PAS pump sensor is on a 172 Sport? Figured I'd check this first. Pic would be cool if available Cheers

Hey guys Been having this irritating whine from my engine ever since I can remember. Basically in 1st and second gear when turning the wheel there is a whine (like the car sounds like when it's reversing) coming from the front right of the engine bay looking from the drivers seat. It only...

Hi all Noticed that my front discs on my 172 have a fairly pronounced lip around the outer edge of the discs. Pads are in very good condition. I assume the discs are on their way out and need replacing? Or is it common? Just ask as my old 106 always had lips on the front disc after some use...

Black 172 with 182 anthracite cup pack wheels, wanting to paint my calipers, was thinking: Black Yellow or Silver Leaning towards yellow but in the abscence of any other yellow on the car might look a bit tacky? Any one got any pics of 182 wheeled cars with painted calipers? What ya reckon?

Anyone leave their feed pipe permanently disconnected like in this guide? Any disadvantages and what are the advantages...

Rang round a few places for my mate's 182 about the aux job, a couple of places said that they won't change the alternator pulley. Question is, the aux kit comprises of idler pulley, belt and tensioner. Is the alternator pulley a separate part? And if so what does it do and why is it a b*tch...

If I were to go to Prospeed for a new backbox, would they cut the bumper to fit the tailpipe? Quite fancy a visible tailpipe for my 172. Also, what range of prices would I be looking at for a new backbox? Cheers

Fitted a small megane splitter which I got off ebay for £8. A doddle to fit, looks much better than the larger 307 splitter I had on it previously. If anyone's after a small megane splitter I'd highly recommend tapping 'megane breaking' into ebay and messaging each asnd every seller asking for...

Debating whether or not I need spacers. Have a look below - running standard 195 tyres with 182 cup pack alloys, on eibach sportlines. Car is a 172. Do I need spacers? :) If so, what size?

Plan to have my aux belts done at AP Developments shortly, but my mate who has a 182 needs his done sharpish... Any recommendations for any places in South Wales or Bristol area that can change the aux belt, pulley and tensioner? Asked around a few local garages but they aint got a clue how...

172 owners - I'm running the standard 195 tyres with 182 cup pack alloys lowered on Eibach sportlines. Can anyone recommend me a spacer size for them? I assume universals are a no no so hubcentric appear to be the way to go. But would 15mm be too much? Hmm...

Hi Pic request - want to see any 172's or 182's that have had spacers fitted to the original 16" wheels! Please also state what size spacers! Thinking of spacers for my 172 w/182 wheels but dont know if theyll be a bit OTT so wanted to see some pics! Ta!

Hi guys Know spacers have been done to death and I've had a good search but wanted some opinions. I have a 172 RS Clio running the standard 195 tyres with 182 cup pack alloy wheels. I'm lowered on Eibach Sportlines. I'd like to bring the front wheels out as they sit slightly into the arches...

...More specifically does anyone have any pics of a standard black 172/182 with standard silver bullets only with the lettering coloured black? Thinking of doing it myself but want to see what it'll look like first! Ta!

Looking to paint the lettering on 2.0 16v bullets in black for a bit o' contrast. Plan to use a small modelling brush to do 'em. Any idea what paint I need to get and whether I need to lacquer over the top? Guide/weblinks would be good :)

After fitting a larger 307 splitter and taking it off after three days (thought it looked too big and the split in the middle was annoying) I tracked down a small meggy splitter off a ph2 (I think) .....incredibly easy to fit - pretty much already fits the contour of the 172 bumper, just had to...

Hi guys Have a black 172 on 182 cup pack alloys, lowered and shortly to fit a small meggy splitter. Clear repeaters. So...what colour do you think I should paint my calipers? Any pics of black 172's/182's with painted calipers? Also, any idea of the best way to get rid of rust spots on the...

Every day see a lovely Monaco Blue 172 and a silver 172 or 182 on the main road from Pontypridd to Porth, anyone on here?
