^^ Thats what i thought . The filter is usually down behind the passenger side headlight .

Looks sh!te if you ask me . And what's that airfilter all about :eek: .Not only will it be sucking in lots of hot air it's tiny so i'd imagine would strangle the engine .

Trust me mate you would notice the orange bulb with those off ebay .They have a clear bit in the middle . Chrome / amber bulbs with clear side repeaters ftw .

^^^ Still not as cheap as mytyres for Pe2's .

Idle should be 800rpm +/- 50 .

Your wrong mate . £101 on mytyres is for W rated which you don't need . V rated are £87 ;)

Put a piece of masking tape underneath the lens so you don't scratch the paint , small screwdriver underneath the lens and pop it out .

They'll look sh!te with the orange bulbs . You might as well get orange lenses as well if your gonna go the orange bulb route . You need some chrome/amber bulbs as well . These are good quality . With aftermarket side repeaters you'll probably have to file a tiny piece off the back to make...

^^^ Knowsit . Thats all i did when mine snapped on my 172 , repack with grease and a big jubilee clip , job done . The original Renault clips are pretty weak and snap very easily . I cable tied over the clips on my new 182 as soon as i got it home just to be on the safe side ;)

£87.30 205/45/16's from mytyres delivered . Roughly what they've always been .

The oil is for dust retention , basically stops all the fine particles of shite going through the filter . You only need a fine coating of oil , no need to soak it through .

Fairy liquid actually works ok if your just cleaning normal crap from the filter not grease or oil ;) Trust me , it's not something you can fcuk up , just make sure you rinse from the inside out .

Do people really need a guide on how to clean a filter now , ffs :eek:

Like i said , Autoglym engine and machine cleaner does the job just as well ;) plus you'll have loads left over compared to the small bottles of cleaner K+N sell ;)

You can buy a kit for cleaning and re-oiling the filter . Personally i just spray mine with autoglym engine and machine cleaner on the outside and rinse under the tap from the inside then let to dry naturally . Then re-oil with k+n filter oil .

Cold air feed , flexible tubing . http://www.venairsport.co.uk/index.php?cPath=49

If you removed the rear silencer you wouldn't be able to live with the noise , try it and see ;) Plus you'd soon get pulled by the police for noise pollution .

It does to me as well mate , it seems to be sitting really low . Maybe needs new hangers ?

^^^ Why would the 1*2's be any different ? If they do snap ,use a drill bit and stud extractor to get it out . You only need to nip them up , not swing on them . Like i said before , if you overtighten them you risk snapping the top off .Just use your common sense when tightening .

You can use the original bulb . I have the smoked repeaters with chrome/ amber bulbs from here : http://www.body-kit.co.uk/acatalog/renault_clio_mk2_side_repeaters.html

Bleed nipples cost a few pence . As to the comment on always braking bleed nipples from dangerous dave , if that's the case , then you've tightenend them up too much in the first place . Chriscliomk1 , get yourself a haynes manual . It's easy , just make sure you keep topping up the brake...

^^^ Or a scrapyard , they'll only charge you a couple of quid . Sounds like you overtightened it last time if you've managed to shear the head of .

^^^ She has a 182 ;)

I agree with Alexs , possibly one of the worst adverts i've ever seen , which doesn't instill confidence tbh . At that price it could be worth a gamble though . You could run it and see how it goes , who knows , it might run sweet as a nut and need little or no work doing to it .

Welcome to CS mate . Your doin' alright for yourself aren't you . An ATR , Octavia vRS and now your lookin for a 172 all at the tender age of 20 as well . Whats your secret lol ;) .

Good effort there mate . I like the pillars and dash trims , top job . Willy wheels are lookin good too , they'll be a pain to keep clean though lol .

I'd always go for a lower mileage car . Granted you can't always guarantee it's been better looked after than a higher mileage car but the less miles it's done the better imo .

:nono:

I'd go for the 182 with cup packs , they handle better than the 172's imo ;) Loads about so if the mileage is a concern leave it alone and look for another .

^^^ I don't recall anybody asking " are they difficult to fit " :S . They just look bigger than the Clio washer jets so maybe the holes in bonnet on a Clio aren't big enough ;)
