Or from here . Don't forget the spacer washer for the rear discs . http://www.renaultpartsdirect.co.uk/product/renault-clio-172-182-brake-disc-pads-set-rear/

Its a rounded , hard , black plastic . And they smash because they are quite brittle . The Skoda Fabia ones are more flat when you look at them front on . Go for a Skoda one , they look better imo , they're more flexible and won't smash and they're only about £13 from a Skoda dealership ...

I used the original springs from the Renault kit , they were the only part that hadn't rusted . Maybe you've bought a kit in the past from northwest performance and the springs are slightly different ? These look the same as the Renault springs , but obviously i can't say 100% for sure or vouch...

The centre cap was pretty much mint so It didn't need painting . I made a template out of cardboard so I didn't spray inside the wheel where the bolts go ( as you can see in one of the pics).

My old ph2 172 and my 182 have the filters internally . Personally I wouldn't bother changing any parts on a car unless they have failed and need it changing.

It is in the fuel tank. Why do you want to change it? The recommended service interval for the fuel filter is 144,000 miles.

I lacquered mine .

That's your best bet , get one with a useable tyre then keep swapping them round , that way you can keep your car on the road :smile:

Thanks . Don't forget your car will be off the road for a few days while you do it . Your best bet if you're going down the DIY refurb route is to get a spare with a tyre and do one at a time :wink:

I refurbed a wheel I bought for a spare a few years ago . It was badly scratched and needed a bit of metal filler . I used Isopon metalik filler https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B006I4ABCY/?tag=cliospnet01-21 And I had my paint mixed at a local motor factors . Since then , the go to place for...

NGK PFR6E-10 . They come pregapped so just whack em in :wink: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Renault-Clio-2-0-16v-Sport-172-182-Genuine-Set-Of-Spark-Plugs-x4-8200239321-/271784689909?hash=item3f47a140f5:g:iRAAAOxyFbpR5~fT

I had this years ago on a 172 . It would cough and splutter and was hesitant up to about 2500 revs then would kick into life . It was the plugs .

I've never used these myself , but over the years I've heard good reports about Autopaint in St.Helens. https://www.auto-paint.co.uk/autopaint/aerosols/mixed-aerosols.html

Yeah, I cut it just to make it longer to run the fluid into an old jam jar.

Like @JB21 said . Bleed in any order , it doesn't matter . Just make sure you keep the reservoir topped up . I use one of these tubes , cut in half with some tubing in the middle joing each part together . One end onto the cracked open bleed nipple , the end with the rivet into an old jam jar/...

Never had the S.Drives so can't comment on them . I'm on my 3rd set of RS3's moving on from RS2's . I think they're a brilliant tyre in the wet , and equally as good in the dry when pushing on . As stated , the wear rate isn't fantastic but that doesn't bother me .

I crack the bleed nipple and push the piston back into the caliper with my thumbs ( I have BIG thumbs lol) so I know mines not rusted inside if I can use my thumbs. Maybe your piston is rusty inside and sticking ? Also worth taking the slider pins out , clean them up and grease them.

Are your pads moving freely ? I've always found , with any pads I've used over the years I need to file a tiny bit off each corner of the backing plate of the pad so it doesn't bind in the carrier . I've never had a problem after I file it down and I always use the shims.

I couldn't get the connector apart either . I ended up snapping the red tab :anguished: , then cutting the wires on the old seat and glue the red tab back together to fit to the new seat . It's a ballache of a job to fathom out .

Mister Auto are doing a deal at the moment buy 1 wiper get 1 free with promo code WIPER . I've used alsorts over the years , cheap ones more expensive ones and they're all about the same . Valeo are what they came fitted with originally . 21" front and 12" rear. Front...

Just so you know what you're looking for. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1-LITRE-TYPE-D-ENGINE-COOLANT-ANTI-FREEZE-FROM-RENAULT/281813834975?_trksid=p2047675.c100005.m1851&_trkparms=aid=222007&algo=SIC.MBE&ao=2&asc=20140122125356&meid=8dcf000a8d844048b47336e749417b67&pid=100005&rk=1&rkt=6&sd=182128657171

In your top pic , it doesn't look too dissimilar to the pic I've posted . Your other pics aren't quite as convincing . This is a genuine cup spring from a 182 . Just for your reference . It's exactly 30cm long . Not the best pic I know , but just so you get an idea.

I had this one fitted back in November . 15mm x 44 teeth . It's spot on . http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/171218040920?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

The fuse for the cigarette lighter , stereo and clock are the same fuse . Have you actually tried a new fuse or just a visual check ?

I have these fitted . They're good quality. If anything , they're a bit stronger than the originals . http://www.sgs-engineering.com/car-boot-tailgate/renault/clio/nl1983-renault-clio-tailgate-strut

I have a Yozza on my 182 and couldn't agree more about the quality , sound etc ........... but the OP wants one for a 172. If it was me , with the 172 and the Powerflow exhaust , I'd just get a centre section with a silencer ( probably the cheapest option ). I had a stealth Powerflow on my old...

Yozzasport doesn't exist anymore , hasn't done for quite some time . I know JP Exhausts in Macclesfield made the exhausts for them for the 182 . http://jpexhausts.co.uk/

Diamond Motors in Long Eaton just outside Nottingham . @MicKPM on here. Probably best to contact him through his website. http://www.diamondmotors.co.uk/ It's a 6 hour round trip for me , but well worth it.
