Right, I bought a gearbox from fellow member decco the other day. ... That's where the fun stops for us I'm afraid! After a long day mostly wasted. We found you can't just drop 1 side of the subframe FFS so we have bolts all over the shop and one corner stripped! Every mount is shagged and...

Ah so a steering wheel and some ph1 172 seats should be easy then? currently got those stupid 182 perforated seats in the front (presume thats what they are as the airbag wiring is wrong on them) and my steering wheel is about dead with the airbag hanging out (not bolted in properly) ...

Gearbox being bought from decco ... I'm so glad I joined up here, Paid membership very soon me thinks . Are there still plenty of bits around for the ph1 172 (like seats and panels)?

Still trying to get this damn wreck recovered as of yet ... I will most likely have lots of cheap spares which should help some people here out I guess! we shall see

would that be repairable if the casing isn't badly damaged then? will be saving it if thats the case .... if this car doesn't arrive tomorrow I will still need that box

and by the looks of it the previous owner had managed to throw the selector linkage out of the box (only thing I can think of the parts on the floor being when collected)! Also something else terminal has happened inside the box as there is no drive and when revved speedo is registering speed...

Sorry about not getting back in touch Decco! Looks like I may be breaking a ph1 172 very shortly, as I have managed to get a rear accident damaged with a great engine and box (79k) for not allot of pennies .... supposed to be getting it delivered on Sunday, so we shall see

Fantastic guys, I didn't realise you had to use the 172 box (I now stand corrected). I'm hoping that there is no further damage than the internals flying out of the box ... but here's for hoping I guess! Re the gearbox decco, you are literally just around the corner from me as I am only J30 M1...

Right I swapped my mk1 ph2 clio Rt Auto for a 172 clio sport (bizarre swaps I know but hey). I have wanted a 172 ph1 for a while and this swap came up because the 172 has a blown gearbox ... bits on the floor and hole in casing blown! needless to say there is no forward or backward motion...

will have a look there then ... thnx

I would, but that's no fun and the bonnet opens the wrong way! I like my Mk1 too much and the Mk2 for me isn't as comfortable, Good car, just not my cup of tea

Hi all, very new to the forum but have lots of questions that no-one seems to be able to answer! My current car is a Clio 1.4 RT Automatic (1995 M registered), the gearbox is tired at 70k and it's extremely underpowered (slower than a swift 1.0 3 pot to 60 :/ ). I have just taken the car off the...
