This picture shows part of the bottom air filter bracket. Bottom left of battery hopefully you can see one of the bolts. By the way nice to see that you are rescuing the cup instead of breaking it.

Two bolts hold the long bracket on. Hopefully the front bracket is still there. Mine was missing the rear bracket when I bought mine and sod's law that was the only one that Renault had discontinued.

@Danboy66 This is where the front one attaches. There is a third bracket underneath which bolts under the battery to the battery tray. Hope this helps.

Great effort especially doing it on axle stands.

@Dr Jekyll That's very true. Mark has cost me hundreds over the last few years with ideas or upgrades for our cars.

Always looks good. Now time to repeat this on the Track Car.😄

@Amos91 I replaced both mine back in Feb, I ended up luckily finding the Left hand one from a dealer that had one left in stock. My Dealer & several others told me it was No Longer Available when phoning around.

Nearside hard pipe is no longer available, just the offside is now available.

7703081151, I am sure these are them. Google them. I bought genuine but it was about two years ago.

The genuine are small black plugs. Will see if I can find the part number.

That is my biggest gripe, The boot button is not in a sensible place. The MK4 is better for this.

I fully understand that. I made a decision that one of my Renault Sports had to go and I have got too attached to my 172 to get rid. Sunk way too much money into it. Good luck with whatever you decide.

As Ricardos has said, I average 48 most weeks and on a 100 mile motorway journey the other day 53.

I have the 1.3 Auto RS Line after owning a 220 Trophy. As a daily it’s way more comfortable and easy to drive. The seats are also more comfortable. The engine is very smooth as well as gear changes are silky smooth. The performance is reasonable. Whilst I appreciate it’s not a trophy on its own...

Scuttle panels, I struggled the other month when I broke one

No, there are different settings for the steering through the Multi sense.

One of my favourite builds threads on here, always look forward to reading updates. I like the way you have done the cruise control, I am currently trying to retrofit it to my 172 but struggling to get the simplest parts from Renault as most are not available.

Are you test driving the 130 EDC? Be interesting to read your review. The edc box in these are so smooth and in manual mode changes so effortlessly and better than the 220 Trophy box.

There seems a parallel between this and when the MK 4 RS came out. A lot of people having a opinion of the car without ever driving one.

The new Clio is a step up from the previous version in every department and anyone thinking of one, well worth looking into.

Standard 172 manifold

That's good to know as that's where most people have the problem with fluid boiling. Standard set up, not sure about heat shield. Will have to try and find what the heat shield looks like.

Has any track use been done during testing? This is when I have a problem despite fitting a new pump and completely changing the fluid.

Fair comment, I have owned a 220 Trophy for the last 11 months and absolutely love it. I also have a 172 and know hands down which one I would choose all day long. Both two different cars to drive but both equally fun. I also believe too many people jumped on the bandwagon with the MK 4 without...

It's similar to what Ford have done with the ST Line and other car manufacturers have also done.
