Mk2 is fractionally slower than a Mk1 ;)

Damn, I just sold mine to fund some cup alloys too :(

Good to see some new South Wiltshire bods on here... Im in Salisbury. Drive a black Mk1 172

What dealer was it?

Evening fellow Mk1 172 owner :)

Just had a call from the service manager at my local Renault dealership, turns out when Car Select sold me the car they replaced the alternator however did not fit it correctly - (bracket). This has twisted therefore causing damage to the tentioner and so on. The cam belt is not being replaced...

Erm yes... well mine only. The tensioner is visually misaligned resulting in damage. Has been diagnosed by Renault today and judging by the noise the car makes Im pretty sure! Apparently its a common problem on the 172 engine - took that comment with a pinch of salt though.

Evening rush bump ;)

I wouldnt always assume it wont need changing till 70k+. My 172 has done 33k and its having the cambelt changed tomorrow :(

I see one everyday :D http://erc.qmuc.ac.uk/cliosport/gallery/full/1106405030__Clio_Rear.jpg [Edited by Day172 on 25 January 2005 at 8:33pm]

Has anybody had any dealings with an extended warranty provided by Car Select? My mind needs putting to rest - Cambelt needs replacing at 33000 miles :o I cant afford to be out of pocket this month :cry:

Keep it original... 172/182 Cup spoilers seem popular ;) http://erc.qmuc.ac.uk/cliosport/gallery/full/1104251063__Untitled-8.jpg

Willkommen zu Cliosport.net :D

Springs were from http://www.motorsportworld.co.uk/MSW and are £145.43 inc VAT & fast delivery. Lowered it myself with help from NikC172 so its cost me a few beers ;) The lowering guide in the members area was a great help too.

I have Eibach Pro springs fitted. Doesnt lower the car much as you can see (20mm Front, 15mm Rear) but the performance - wow :D http://erc.qmuc.ac.uk/cliosport/gallery/full/1106405365__Untitled-5.jpg *Springs are new so may not have fully settled yet though.

Higher on my Mk1 172 than it was on my 1.4 Sport. Heavier too :)

Be unique - Petrol Blue* Even though its more greenish in colour!

Im still offering the use of my car for this guide ;)

Are you in located in Ireland Ant? Different kettle of fish if so... Right b*****d to get insured there :(

The technical name for this is "fronting" Be a man and take it the hard way... Most of us here have done and were now being rewarded with reasonable quotes due to longer NCB. Insurance premiums are calculated on the risk exposure. Fact, young drivers are a high risk and attract high...

I have the the horn on a stalk on the left hand side as well as the 2 on the wheel :confused: The Mk2 172s different then?
