check for play in joints and track rods/ends as above, replace dampers, go genuine unless your willing to spend big bucks. geometry setup as the icing on the cake!
after owning 2 172's and 2 mk2 dci's id have another dci100 in a heartbeat but not another 172, depends what your looking for in a car though.
i done about 30k hard miles in my dci100, 20k of them remapped at 130hp / 190lbft and had a right giggle in it! abused some much more powerful cars and...
be sad to see it go always saw this car about on here since i joined and enjoyed your videos.
engines notoriously strong.. i used to say that at one point too when bigging up RS clios lol!!
search for my thread years ago when i was going to do it, i had most of the info all sorted just awaiting parts before i manned the f**k up and bought a 172 lol
theres a known problem with people thinking they can drive a car like a race driver without using the proper techniques. Yes the gearbox should possibly be built to withstand these idiots better. same issue with J series mk1/mk2 boxes.
box used properly wont give any issues. change the oil when...
i can put up with worse seats and a few less toys for a much better engine.
ive driven both pretty extensively, and the K4M doesnt cut it with that little torque in a big car, i found it gutless down a backroad unless giving it a full 100% which isnt what you want when your not totally in the...

id personally rather have a DCi 106 Dynamique S over a 1.6 16v GT. you will get one no problem for that budget they are starting about 4k mark now for a higher milage one.
later ones with the different wheels come with half leather, bit nicer dash, white dials and most have keyless entry. look...
mine were done after 40k on my old ph2 172, i changed everything bar them trying to cure the play, as i never knew they had a joint on them, felt brand new once i had changed them
i cant remember the exact location of the sticker but i remember seeing it on mine when i had to find it, was pretty easy to see lol!! not much use that!!
needs to be renault for the dampers to get the proper ones. before you start spending money on ARB's etc check the parts i listed above too, best money i ever spent was refreshing all mine.
the spacers must be there, i cost arnold clark a fortune fixing a car i bought from them when they didnt fit one of the spacers on one side doing rear discs, ended up getting new discs, pads, stub axel, wheel bolts as it destroyed them!
as for the original image, pull the caliper carrier...
ive always used John at ProGrip for my servicing on cars i cared about the stamp and for my alignment, so hes the one guy i can trust to take it apart and put it back together properly!
its going to ProGrip larbert who done the initial alignment check on it and found out it was screwed!! will be getting 2 new front tyres on AC too as the car has ate the inside edges of them!
