    172 Clutch Cable too Short?

    Have you measured the old/new cables next to each other, pull the pedal all the way up and pull harder 😂 can only be the ratchet or wrong routing if cable is same as removed

    2025 16 inch tyre choices

    I got new potenza evo's fitted to the megane today, halfords were cheapest by a long shot with the discount, worth a look. Wonder how the ps5 are compared to the ps3, I found the sidewalls of ps3 were far too soft, comfortable tyre though

    Mondial 172 Cup OEM+ / Rolling Resto

    You may want to get the front braking checked to make sure its equal to both front calipers, a sticky front caliper over a few miles can also upset the front bias, all worth a check just to be sure

    Mondial 172 Cup OEM+ / Rolling Resto

    Nightmare! came out with not too much damage, defo need temporary ducting on track to the front brakes on these, what pads/fluid you running. My cup brakes very lightly at the rear, yours should be the same providing it doesn't have the rod fitted to the compensator, luckily parts for these are...

    Clio 182 restoration

    It was a company in dyce Scotland (highland electroplaters) they just do industrial stuff but I popped in with them all in a carrier bag thinking it would be a no, boy said 20 quid be ready in a few days, there will be a company local to you surely, some came back plated but excessive pitting so...

    Clio 182 restoration

    You can get all the bolts cleaned and plated if they are not to badly pitted, I was £20 for all mine to get done from a local industrial coatings firm. The front subframes are galvanised from factory so that would come up good with a good power wash/strong cleaner. Powder coating anything on...

    Mk3 Clio 2007 Dynamique s, Hazard lights permanently on

    Likely a faulty switch, or you'll need to trace back where the power is coming from

    vibrations and tremors at idle clio 182

    Injector seals maybe, my 172cup runs perfect with no known faults for years, it also has always had a lumpy idle, I've just accepted that's how it is. I have a 275 megane, that is also the same at idle 🤷‍♂️🫣

    Rejoined after a long break, LY182

    Prices for various parts are hugely marked up to general public, grooved discs for the rear of my megane, £104 each posted from Germany. In the uk they range from £3-500, lesser price is because they were on sale, uk price is basically double depending where you go 🫣

    Rejoined after a long break, LY182

    I was £700 last year for belt kit, dephaser, pump, stat etc at a specialist, invoice showed cost of timing kit from renault was just over £100, parts were roughly £300, he said they got them cheap from renault as they buy bulk batches, mine was completed in 6hrs at rentec

    172 C.U.P. (Complete and Utter Poo)

    Just grip the piston in the centre of the spring, Stilson or vice grips, put a bit of leather if you have any against the jaw to save marking the piston

    Thoughts on these 172 arches

    They look fine, most likely been painted in the past I'd guess, unless its never outside

    Also keeping the ride height at a sensible level is the way to go on a road car with all the variations in road surfaces/camber/holes, lowered cars pull you all over the road when pushing on from my experience.

    Titanium MrBlonde

    For a road car I'd have it a little soft on the rear and medium on the front, these cars are not heavy enough imo when firm, makes them bounce about when they hit bumps etc. I've got bilstein b14 and they are a little soft, but to me it works fine on road, little soft for the track though on...

    Just means you'll need to remove the brake pipe if you ever need to move the caliper out the way for any reason

    Clio 172 Cup issues and what to look out for.

    Yup as above, rust is your main concern, next regular issue is electrical problems, immobiliser/uch faults and crunching gearbox more so at high rpm. Everything else is very simple to replace, I'd always buy the best one possible to spend money on

    Trophy in Brighouse

    The clio 182 trophy is great, but for everyday car hands down the mk3rs just walks away from it easily from my daily driving, I drive a 275 daily ots just easy to drive fast as a road car imo

    Daily bucket seat options

    Just buy a cheap seat and mount, put it in night before is your best way I'd say, you'd need to use a harness also on track to keep you snug 👍 i have some cheap corbeau thats fine, not very comfy for daily driving though
