I'm going to probably go and look at the 172, but also found a 182 with 60k, 1 owner mint condition for £5200. Only reason i have to go to a dealer is to trade in my old car. Going to use the cambelt as a bargining (sp?) tool, my mate will do the cambelt for £200 all in but should be able to get...

I'm after a 172 or 182 at the moment and am wondering what sort of price i should be looking to pay for an 03 plate 172 or an 04 plate 182 with about 60,000 on the clock and in fairly good condition? There is a 172 on an 03 plate with 36,000 miles, 1 owner, FSH, and in immaculate condition for...

They changed to bodies after 2001 if i remember correctly. I really wouldn't bother if i'm honest. I'm half way through putting R1 carbs on my 205 GTi and its a pain in the a**e. Its cost me about £450 so far and they will need setting up and constantly adjusting.

Got the car up for sale at the moment, i'm sure i'll get a much better deal if i went in with a wad of cash to put down. What should i try and aim to get it down to?

That's £100 for the labour

Can get the cam belt done for £100 so its not really an issue for me.

Had a look on Autotrader, and its the only trade one's cheaper than it have done 73,000 miles. Have to get it from a garage as i want to p/x and need the finance as well. Tried to knock some money off it but they wouldn't budge.

Was driving past my local renault dealer and sitting out the front of the dealership was a very nice looking 172 cup. Went in to have a look and now i'm thinking about buying it. The dealership wants £7200 for it, i'm not sure if this is a good price or not. Its on an 03 plate and has done...

I've got the twin cat fitted to mine so don't think i'd be able to cut it down to fit. Does it need to be made much shorter? If i fit a decat going to have the problem of when i come round to do the MOT won't be able to get it to pass, would surely then have to put the standard manfold and cat...

As the title says i want to fit the 182 manifold onto my 172. Only thing being do you have to buy the sports cat from KTR? Or can you fit it another way? Cheers All, and Merry Christmas

I had exactly the same problem, found out the cause was one of the dampers was knackered. Caused the car to feel like the back was slipping out round a corner.

I've got a knocking noise coming from the rear of my clio and its driving me nuts. It sounds like its coming from the drivers side rear shock. Don't think the shock is broken because i put new spax coilovers on 6 months ago. Wonder if it could be the rear beam mounts? Going to check the engine...

I've got the same sort of noise. Sounds like something as rattling on the rear struts. But can't be that the struts are nackered because i replaced mine not long ago. Think it could maybe be the rear axel mounts. Any ideas?

Mine's making a funny knocking noise from the back of the car. Its driving me nucking futs. Think its coming from one of the rear sturts, not sure though. For the sake of my sanity does anyone have any ideas? Cheers All

That would be perfect for me, where abouts are they?

Lookng for a good body shop in the sussex area that doesn't charge the earth if anyone knows of somewhere. Need to get a few bits resprayed and a dent taken out of the door. Cheers All

Does the fast chip software come with a group N map already loaded onto it?

Looking at getting my clio chipped and reading through some of the old threads some people have recommended to get a fast chip kit and do it yourself. Does anyone know how easy the kits are to use, and what sort of results can you expect. Looked on their web site and i'm not sure which one of...

Want to try and fit a ph2 172 front bumper to my ph1 172. Does anyone know if this is possible, and how much work/parts are required. Cheers Tim

I had something squeaking in the boot of my clio. Turned out on of the shocks was nackered and was rubbing on the car body. Fitted a new shock and solved the problem.

My ph1 172 gets to 130 no problem.

I'm the one with the silver 172. Got stuck behind a freelander after we all pulled out of a junction. By the time i got past it you lot had long gone. Even though i didn't get to the finish still had a good laugh. Next ime i hope to make it to the end.

Is there any sort of problems with fitting an induction kit that wasn't designed for the car. Not worried about the fitting, its just i was talking to a bloke at work and he was saying that the kits are designed with a flow rate specific to that car. Any thoughts? Cheers All

The near side rear selt belt in my clio has jammed and won't recoil. Is there any easy way of fixing this or do i have to remove the plastics and check the mechanism. Cheers All

First of all, i want to say hi i'm a newbie here. Just sold my 205 gti and looking to buy a clio sport. I went to go and look at this one today. Its the 8th one on the page going for £4,850...
