I seem to have a rather strange problem with my mk2 172 (another one!). Every now and then I get this random sort of ticking form the dash board, it seems to come from behind the sppedo or just to the right of it. I have had the dash off and had a look behind it but I cant see anything that it...

Well tonight I was actually glad that some was driving a 4x4! I was parked in a small car park for a party, and when I got back in my car my mind was on somthing else completely. So whacked it into reverse, slammed on full lock on the then looked in my rear view AFTER I pulled off, looked in...

Hello. I am having my MKII 172 wheels refurbed next month and am thinking about the possibility of changing the colour (although I will probably keep them the same). I was just wondering if anyone had changed the colour of theirs and if they have could the post some pics? Cheers.

I amn getting 3 of my wheels refurbed next month at a place called laptab (in Birmingham), and when I rang up for a quote he asked if I was a member of the cliosport club. Does this mean that if I am I get a discount? Cheers for any help.

Hello. I recently had a smash and I have just got my clio sport 172 mk2 back, however, they have virtually put a new front end on but they seem to have forgotten to put the new warning stickers on the front cross piece under the bonnet (engine hot and air con warning on the left and battery...

Hello. As the title suggest Im taking my dash off for the first time tomorrow to fit my nice new shiney Alpine 9835, and am VERY scared! Any words of advice from those that have done it before? Its a Mk2 Ph2. Also, how many screws is it again? Havent had a proper look yet.

I have a 2001 (51) Clio 172 and I was just wondering how i can find out what phase it is (I only know of there being different phases by reading on here). the main reason that I ask is so that I know how many screws I need to have to take out when I take my dash off.

I am just about to fit a new stereo, an Alpine 9835 to be precise, but it requires a direct feed to the battery, As you can prob imagine this means taking a cable through the chassis at some point so I was wondering if any one could tell me a good place to do this, ie a rubber grommet or...

Just reading a thread in where you have fitted an Alpine 9833 and you say that there is now a display/stalk interface is now out for that unit that allows both the stalk controls and display to work...

1) Are Sony headunits that bad? I am looking in to getting one and I know that the Sony ones allow the stalk controls and display to work so they are a possibility, even though I would prefer a Pioneer or Alpine as I have heard they are better, is this also true? 2) Can any (if any), or all...
