Brake fluid reservoir on a caliper ?? Just undo the brakeline going into the caliper mate . Get plenty of rags ready for the fluid that will spill out , then either used a clamp for the brake line of stick something in the end of the pipe to stop it leaking out . And whatever you do " DON'T...

Don't like the rear bumper exhaust thing thats goin on .Is that a standard mk1 172 steering wheel ? Never looked inside a mk1 before , don't like that steering wheel either , rest of the car looks fine .

I'll be surprised if you don't like it Rich . You really don't need alot in a bucket so i think a 32oz bottle will go a long way . When i used it in a 16oz bottle for the clay lube i didn't need very much and it was very slick on the paintwork , it was hard work keeping hold of the clay , lol .

Yep , e mail David Graham and tell him your a member of cliosport for 10% discount .

Haynes manual says use " Elf Renaultmatic D2 " which i assume you would get from the dealership or " Dexron II ATF " . With the engine off and the cap off the power steering reservoir turn the wheel from lock to lock a couple of times , then with the engine on do it again , slowly from lock...

^^^^ could be worse , could have a blue background and a white cross eh ;) Try some of the wax as well , miles better than the collinite i was using , to bead water off the car . The trim gel is excellent on the tyres and black trim ,even better than the AG Bumper care which i rate highly .

Nationwide autocentre ( halfords ) retested mine for free last November and that was the new computerised system . Might have been after i kicked off about it failing on brake imbalance and asking them to stick it back on the rollers and prove it .

Is the fan and dvd writer on the same power cable ? Have you tried disconnecting the dvd writer and booting to see if the dvd writer is taking all the power from the fan ?

Just fold it when it looks dirty . Use the clay afterwards for the windows and alloys before you bin it .

Cheers mate , cos i fcukin love it ;) p+p is the same for 1 item or multiple items , try some of the shampoo and wax as well , its top quality stuff .

48,000 in 4 years in the 172 before i sold it . 1900 miles in 12 weeks in my new 182 , don't do as many miles now since i got shut of my g/f lol .

Same for me , i always use my left foot braking as i'm driving , like ya say , watch the windscreen ,lol ;)

I have to agree , some excellent products , thanks for recommdening them :) Heres the process and some pics : Washed with Extreme body wash shampoo . Clayed and extreme body wash in a bottle for the lubricant . Washed again . Dried with the waffle weave towel . AG Super resin...

^^^^ I couldn't agree more . ^^^^ But i do also think that there are other factors to consider . Like how easy on/off the product is , the finish you get , length of time it lasts etc ... I've always been a big fan of AG super resin topped off with the Extra gloss protecion , as i have...

I'll post some pics as soon as its waxed .

Whereabouts in Darwen are ya from ? I'm from up Sunnyhurst way . What colour car you driving i'll keep my eye out for ya .

Better if you can take em off , spray em up and leave em a couple of days . I used some wire brushes like these in an electric drill to clean mine up . http://www.screwfix.com/app/sfd/cat/pro.jsp?id=13734&ts=37854

No. I used the lambswool mitt to wash the car with the extreme body wash shampoo , after i finished washing the car and looked at the mitt the stains on the mitt had gone .

Virus check it . Try and get hold of a copy of spyware doctor and check for spyware , ot just run spybot and adaware , then defrag it .

Ordered some stuff from carwashnwax at 10.30pm Thurs , came 9.30am friday :) Used the Extreme body wash shampoo today , can't recommend it enough , excellent stuff , smells gorgeous too . The megs lambswool mitt i use had a couple of stains on it now they've gone , even my washing machine...

They're suppose to last 72k , mine fcuked up at 30k on my 172 . Welcome to CS :) and the wonderful world of cliosports and rip off dealers ,lol ;)

They must be quoting labour charges for changing your plugs . The originals are NKG PFR6E-10 . http://www.sparkplugs.co.uk/pages/pricing/applications/ngk_petrol_car_applications.asp Some people use Bosch and seem to be happy with em ...

Put some thick cable ties , 8mm / 9mm , over your clips on the cv boot as a preventative measure .

The cables are about £85 from Renault , thats if they will sell em separate , 2 dealerships i spoke to wouldn't . The changer and cable package is around £300 , wtf :( If you really want to stick with the Renault setup it would be cheaper to get a tunerlist headunit out of an older 172 to...

^^^^ It'll need a realy good clean to get all the grease off the outside of the boot or the new clip will eventually just slide off .

Definitely the clip has broken on the cv boot , thats grease you've got all over your wheel . Or might even be the cv boot itself split but i'd say just the clip . Pretty common thing .
