    Strange things with dash

    12v is a bit low. Should really be around 12.6v if the batteries in good condition. See how you get on when you swap the battery.

    Decat on…. 2 issues resolved!

    I had a decat on my Yozza exhaust years ago. All it did was make louder lol. So I sold it. Now you'll just need a Cat to pass the MOT 🤔

    The Dreaded engine management light

    I know you said you've put a new battery on but have you tested it to see if its in good condition? It could have been sat on a shelf for the last year or so. Anything below 12.4 volts and it can struggle to start. I'd get a multimeter on it and check, then you can rule that out. It might need...

    Handbrake cable fitting

    Somebody a while ago posted that these are the cables that actually fit. I saved them for future reference but haven't tried them myself so can't say 100% that they fit. They are 1378mm and 1450mm as you stated...

    Clio Trophy - One owner, 29k, yours for £23,000 of your finest British pounds sir.

    You're right. The Michelin pilot sport pe2 was developed for the 182. Best tyre I've used for the road.

    Pressure washer recommendations?

    Lidls Parkside pressure washers used to be made by Karcher years ago. I'm not sure that's the case anymore. I've never heard that Aldis Workzone pressure washers were ever made by Karcher. The good thing about Lidl and Aldi they both come with a 3 year warranty. So make sure you keep your...

    6000073748 Offside Front Arch Liner - Front Portion

    Looking at all the stuff he's selling he's taking the piss with prices and postage. f**k knows who's paying these prices? It's not like Renault RS's are common in Poland. I've been going for over 10 years and I've yet to see any.

    182 cup pack spring options, shocks and top mounts ?

    Nice one 👍 looks like Autodoc haven't been affected after Brexit. I've ordered stuff in the past and it's usually taken around 8 days.

    Clio 172 ph2 2001 fuel filter service interval

    Ive never heard of anybody having a problem with one yet. If you don't have any issues I'd just leave it.

    Clio 172 ph2 2001 fuel filter service interval

    From what I'm led to believe it's part of the sender unit and its a couple of hundred quid to replace. Why they didn't just have an external filter is beyond me. Probably would have cost a tenner and took 5 mins to change.

    172 Cup cutting out when cold.

    I don't know the answer to your problem, but 1500 revs sounds a little high even when the engines cold.

    Clio 172 ph2 2001 fuel filter service interval

    Mines a 55 plate bought in February 2006. My 172 was bought in November 2001. I don't know if they've issued you the wrong book? But I've never seen or heard of the fuel filter change interval being 72 or 36k miles 😮 All the years of being on Cliosport I've only ever seen it mentioned 150k or...

    Clio 172 ph2 2001 fuel filter service interval

    This is the service book that came with my 182 from new and it says fuel filter change is every 144k miles. I also had a 172 from new and that service book also said the same 🤔

    What Trolley Jack

    To be honest Ive only used the pedal to get the saddle into position then use the handle.

    What Trolley Jack

    They're heavy to pick up but dead easy to move around on the wheels. I wish I'd bought one a long time ago. If you know anybody with a trade card they're only £104. I also had a 20 voucher from confused so only cost me £84 😊 Found this video on YouTube. They're a bit hard to understand. They...

    What Trolley Jack

    I bought the same jack a few months ago after owning a few cheap 30 quid Jack's for years. What a massive difference, I can get the car so much higher on to axle stands. Its solid as a rock.

    Cup or full fat???

    I'm pretty sure, not 100% though that when I bought my first 172 in 2001, not long after that was when I first saw the term Full Fat. I might be wrong as time fades my memory in my old brain lol.
  22. MRBILLYUK

    Cup or full fat???

    The term Full Fat really originated with the 172. You either got a lighter Cup or the heavier fully loaded 172 and it was christened Full Fat.

    Cup or full fat???

    When they were new if it had anthracite 182 wheels it had the cup suspension pack. Slightly lower and stiffer springs. Of course 16 years later somebody could have fitted anthracite wheels or even had them refurbed in a darker colour so it's not always a given that it has cup suspension. Also...

    Low mileage 172 Cup £14,999 on ebay

    I totally agree. I'd be put off if I knew a car had had a hard life before regardless of the condition it is in now.

    Low mileage 172 Cup £14,999 on ebay

    I'm not knocking you if you think you can get 15k for it. If you don't ask you don't get. Just a couple of little things that I'd sort out if it was my car. The engine hoist bracket is rusty. I'd give that a rub down and spray with satin black. Plus the ecu cover looks a bit tatty. Again I'd...

    Fixing air feed

    I think once the material has started to fall apart it's time for the bin. Are they 50mm diameter? I can't remember off the top of my head. You could try buying something like this and reusing both ends...

    Serv + esp lights on intermittently

    I know that. But usually, from my experience anyway. If one the ABS rings was damaged or corroded to that extent it would throw up the ABS light within minutes of moving off not just when he hits 60mph. They would have been the first thing I checked just to rule them out.

    Serv + esp lights on intermittently

    ABS rings usually throw up the ABS light. You said its only got esp and serv light? @Cliomaxx69

    You want a genuine Bosch lambda sensor, part number 0258006046 Yours is none genuine. If it hasn't got Bosch on the box it isn't. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/303441549650

    Engine Misfire Clio 3 56plate 1.2 16v Expression

    Sounds like injector if eml is flashing. The op changed everything but them and wasted his money.
