Up for sale because I've bought a motorbike and want to use the money for something else. Would possibly take a part exchange, but something like a 172 worth about £1k. Did have it in the classifieds about 6 weeks ago, but more detailed advert on eBay and a few more pictures...

Got a few too many cars and with my parents no longer living a few hundred miles away I don't quite have the need for a big comfy barge. Wife also wants something else, as she drives it mainly, so it's time for a change. eBay listing below...

Chorley New Rd this morning about 7:40, tinted rear lights. Not seen it about before.

Hi, Well, I've been without a Clio for a whole 9 months now after swapping the RB 182 Cup for a 225 F1. I've had a couple of 172's as well as the 182 and 225, but always had a Mk1 itch that I needed to scratch. Would love a Williams, but I don't have £5k to spare on one sadly. I've toyed with...

5:15 today, looked nice, if you're on here are you local? Need a few more RS models round here.

Looked nice and had grille stickers. Good roads round there for a Clio.

Has anyone done it with a 172 in the £1,000-£1,500 price range of late. If so how much did you have to pay to get the car back? Early days yet as my insurer doesn't know about the damage but need to have a chat with them tomorrow. Trying to decide whether fixing it is feasible.

Wish I could take on this as a project. Sadly the wife won't have it for her daily 😞 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Renault-21-Turbo-Phase-1-200bhp-80s-Super-Saloon-Retro-Car-5-GT-Clio-WIlliams-/171525906882?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item27efbda1c2

For a number of weeks I've been stumped by a braking problem that is pretty persistent and won't go away. At first the symptoms were of air in the system as the pedal had too much travel but then did stop well at the bottom of the pedal travel. So far to solve this I've: Replaced a rear caliper...

Hi, My understanding, from reading a few threads, is that the early Ph2 172s (non-cup) could potentially have come with either the speedo or non-speedo drive box. How's the best way to be able to see this on my car visually? If anyone's got a picture to help the explanation of how to spot it...

I rarely venture into this section and today reminded me why. Just taken the Gordini stripes off the wife's 182 and wanted some advice on removing the glue. From doing a search some useful info came up and it made the job slightly easier. Thanks guys. However, I now have a rekindled hatred for...

Been parked on Victoria Rd plenty over the last week or so, not one I've seen before.

Saw your car near the Fogarty Moss Centre. Looking good with the Recaros and OZ F1s. My 3 year old kept taking me back to it because it looked like the wife's to him.

Due to needing to buy a house and child number two arriving last week my best mate is selling this. Low miles and well looked after, they sound and drive great. Low starting bid on eBay also. He's also interested in a p/x. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Ford-Focus-ST2-Race-Red-/171338922398

Pretty low with bronze looking turinis, looked smart.

Ford, Peugeot, Citroen fitment. Sold the car so they need to go asap. :D http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=191165657561

The standard Brembo pads for the 197 calipers seem pretty cheap at £39 and I'd imagine are pretty well up to the job but is it really worth spending more on Mintex, CL, Ferodo or any others. Would be interested to hear anyone else's experience. Car is mainly for road but will see a few track...

As a few have done before, I'm looking to change my melted 172 steering wheel to a 200 wheel. I've used the search function, and read over 10 threads on this, but not a single one has the specs for the washer size that's required to stop it rubbing. Does anyone know this, or alternatively is a...

Getting rid of the runabout/track car project. The 172 I've just picked up replaces it so no longer needed. It's only cheap, need it out of the way. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/191136175144?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649

Well where do I start? I've been a member on here ages but been quiet for the last few years with not having a Renaultsport model for a while. I'd been over to the Ford side with a 300bhp+ Focus ST which I had nearly 4 years and absolutely loved. As I'm buying my house again (long, complicated...

I've not really been active on here for years but always nip on for a bit of a browse but.... After a gap of around 5-6 years without a Renaultsport Clio in my life I decided it was time for another. My brothers have both had 182s and mates have a 172 and a 200 since I sold my 172, and it's...

Seen you a few times around Tonge Moor/Harwood over the last few weeks. Looks a very nice motor!

Couldn't seem to remember exactly which way round this should be. If you were to specify the trendlines as a factory option on a FF 182 would you still get the normal alcantara/leather rear bench or a cup/extreme bench? Any help would be appreciated.

Think it was Chris197, thanks for letting me turn across the front of you. I was in one of the works cars, a crappy black Corsa.

Does this also act as a warning light for any reason? I ask because mine keeps flickering on under medium/harder acceleration. Don't know whether it's just typical Renault wiring/electricals though. Any help much appreciated. Tom

Had the 172 in at Renault because of an issue with the lights. The uch has been found to be faulty and when they tried one from another clio it worked fine. Do I need a uch unit from another 172 or will one off a similar age clio of any spec/engine work? Thanks in advance.

I've got a problem with my headlights and backlighting on the dash not working. They have randomly come on once or twice when it's been raining as though that's affecting it but only for a few seconds. Spoke to a friend who used to work for Audi and he reckons it's the grounding. Anyone know...

Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. My interior back lighting on the dash clocks, climate etc randomly stoped coming on when I switched the head lights on last week. Also noticed that the rear lights on the car aren't working (reverse, indicators and fogs are though). I think it's...

Came past the Trophy southbound at half 2 next to the M62 junction and the R26 northbound near Wigan. It was a black 07 with decals. Anyone on here?

Went out with a few of my mates last night into Manchester, got home around half 2 to find the right indicators (front, back and repeater) flashing randomly. They were going really fast then slowed down then stayed on for a bit, it was quite wierd (I wasn't that p****d either lol). I presume...
