Pretty pumped on this little motor. It's like being 17 again, reminds me of my mate's Clio Williams back in 2004. Here's a photo, some of you may have seen it on ebay

Stumbled upon this rare little beast yesterday while walking the dogs. Complete with bucket seats, cage, cut of switch etc I'm down the road in Edgcott if it's anyone from here

I just snapped up a very appealing deal from Virgin media mobile. Galaxy S6 32GB 4GB data and unlimited calls,texts for £35pm No upfront charge for phone. Virgin advertise as using the EE network. Samsung tablet for an extra £2pm So all in 37pm, which I thought was a really good deal..... That...

I have had a search but couldn't really find what I was looking for. Can anyone advise on deleting the rear brake compensator and if a bias valve needs to be installed in it's place (futher upstream) or if the brake balance is ok with just hoses in place. Any help gratefully received. Tom

I thought I would share some photos of my car with you all. As I'm finally pleased with how it's come together. Had this Cup four years and taken her out 5 times! Going out tomorrow to Pembrey for an MLR Sprint, so looking forward to that.

So, opinions? 15/16/17? Only driven the clio on 16s but looking for peoples opinions. Who has tried what? Any definitive answers? Tom

Will 16v/Williams wheels fit my 172? Correct PCD/Offset? Tom

As the title I suppose! Don't want to pay over the odds for a second hand one. Tom

I still have a spare engine, box, loom and Ecu, so I'm thinking of putting it to some use but I have a few questions. Does anyone know off the top of their head, how much the engine/ engine+box weighs? I can weigh it all but if someone knows, its easier! I have the engine loom and ECU but...

I want to put my iPod in my car but retain the dash display and the remote control. Apart from those FM transmitter types is there another option? A different headunit and loose the screen and control? Tom

Yesterday I picked up my 172 Cup and by the end of the day the Airbag light and SERV light were on. They've been on since too.... Pretty annoyed about it but any ideas what could be the cause of the problem? The airbag(s) obviously but I just thought I'd ask. Gonna take it to Renault or can I...

Right.... I got the engine and everything else out from my 172, I'm left with a bundle of wires now! I assumed it would have connectors to the bulkhead so that it could be seperated? It appears not, I'm selling the whole lot on ebay and have tomorrow to get it out. Can any of you boys tell me...

Saw ya......

I need to have a winge about my car... What the f**k were Renault thinking when they designed the 172 bay!?! Replacing the tensioner is proving to be quite a job. I'm replacing it becuase its brittle and chipped. Also, it had no bolt securing it to the car, it was only sat on the shaft??!?!?! I...

I did a bit of search on this. Some say its a headlight and bumper off job, while others say 5min with a 15mm combi? Ive got to replace the bottom pulley as its whining like a mal-nourished dog. Ive ordered the pulley, I just need someone to tell me the easiest way to slip the belt off or...

How do the 16s effect the handling, if at all? Is the offset diferent on these wheels to the 15s? Does anyone have pics of them on a Ph1? Thanks, Tom

Since collecting it on friday night, my Road angel classic has been playing up, is this due to the type of windscreen? Cheers, Tom

Put a deposit on a Mk1 Red! 172 on Sunday. 76k Motorway, Cambelt, Magnex, looks beautiful! Pics to follow :)

Im viewing one this weekend, are they very rare? I havent seen many, if any ever! Does anyone have a pic? Tom

Hi everyone, I looked at a Mk1 172 today wth 59k on it. It doesn't seem to be a bad car but has a 'chipped and mapped' ecu. Im familiar with re-mapping cars but doing it on the standard ECU on the 172? is this common? The guy selling has no receipts for the work but says its 200bhp-ish? Im not a...

when sat idling the Oil pressure dops right down to 0 but when driving it rises with the revs? is this normal? On a 1.8 16v 95 plate Cheers, Tom
