...only a month after a service at a Renault main dealer :mad: Had it in at Harretts in Wakefield last month for several issues looking into along with a minor service being carried out. A new front arm, gearbox mount, rear wheel bearing, and £600 later I drive away in my fully serviced and...

My 172 is currently at Harretts having a couple of problems looked into and a service carried out. I've just got off the phone now and have been advised that the following need replacing: Nearside Bottom Arm - £174 Offside Rear Wheel Bearing - £119 Are these reasonable prices or am I being...

I was under the impression that the servicing schedule for the ph1 172 was 12k/1year however looking in the sticky it seems to state 12k/2years. Is this correct? The reason I ask is that it's coming up to a year since the last service so need to know whether to get it booked in or not. Cheers

The silver engine oil cover panel came off yesterday whilst I was driving, and decided it wanted to melt itself on the engine :-/ Will Renault likely be able to supply me with one? If not, anyone know where I can get one from, and what the likely cost is going to be? Cheers

As title really, I'm after recommendations of good breakers and spares shops around the country, specifically ones that are likely to have a ph1 172 gearbox in stock. Thanks

I need to find out what my gearbox part number is. I'm told I can look at a sticker on the gearbox itself but I can't seem to find it :o Can anyone advise me where I should be looking to obtain this number? Cheers :)

Hi all Had a ride out in the 172 earlier today, and on the way back I noticed that everytime I went to change down to 2nd, it made a crunching noise as if I hadn't fully pressed the clutch. The only way I could stop the crunching from occuring was to slow to a crawl before selecting 2nd. Once...

Recently I've noticed the 172 pulls to the left with the steering wheel centred. Also, on roundabouts if I really chuck the car round it understeers like mad and I have to back off to bring it back into line. I had the tracking done only a 1000 miles back, so does anyone have ideas what could...

Hi all Took the 172 to have a 4 wheel alignment check and tracking sorted earlier following uneven tyre wear and a bit too much understeer into sharp corners. I got a print out with the results on, however it means pretty much nothing to me! Therefore I was hoping someone could explain what...

Went outside this morning to take the 172 for it's new exhaust fitting, and noticed something didn't look right at the front. As I got closer I realised what it was - some thieving *******s have stolen my front fogs and the casing :mad: Must have happened sometime last night as they were...

So, my exhaust is knackered. I took it to Gordons Tyres earlier to have a free inspection, and it turns out both the middle and back sections have gone and need replacing. They offered to get a new exhaust and do the work - for £350 :eek: Obviously I told them no chance, so what I'm after...

Well, despite having had the 172 just under a month, I need to get it booked into a garage to have some work done :( First, due to me finding that the inside edges of BOTH front tyres are bald, I need to have the tyres changed, and the tracking and front suspension looked at/adjusted/set up...

Ok, so for the last couple of weeks, I've been certain the handling has been deteriating on the 172. I put it down to a combination of the front tyres getting a bit low and the wet weather we've been having but things seem to have been getting steadily worse. I therefore had a good look at/feel...

Anybody know where I can get my hands on a pair of colour coded bump strips for a mk1 172, and how much they are likely to cost? The bump strips on this 172 are the ones I'm after: http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?t=111461 Cheers :)

...a Renaultsport Clio 172 mk1 :cool: :clap: Had a 120+ mile drive down to Bedford yesterday to have a look and test drive the car, swiftly followed by a 5 mile trip to the local bank :D Everything checked out, details as follows: 2000 (X) reg 60,000 miles Mint Condition Totally Standard...

Hi all Currently looking to buy a Renaultsport Clio 172 Mk1 and I'm wanting some advice on what exactly to look for when viewing if possible. I've already test driven one and loved how it drove but it wasn't in particularly good condition (scrappy interior, kerbed alloys, 3 different makes of...
