Should I bother getting the plugs off ebay??? Not a huge fan...

So what are (should) the original plugs be? I'm gonna order all this on weekend. So 5-40 oil is def what I need? Cheers all!

Ok it's time to spend a few notes on the 172 as she needs a service. A few quick questions. She's a Mk2 Ph2 51 Plate 172. Which plugs??? And where's cheapest? I hear NGK are good. What oil do I need? Is it reccommended to uprate the HT leads? Oil filter is pretty much standard I guess? I have an...

Thought so - was just lookin on k-tec at the angel eye headlamps they have but i believe they not xenon??

Right, so do I need to take the full headlamp out to have a play with it?? Are xenon's motorised? Cos i don't have the movement control!

Hi all, Well the 172 went for it's MOT this morning and passed with flying colours! Unfortuntely got 3 advisory's, one of which i should be able to resolve myself. The offside dipped (xenon) beam is too low. So I looked for an adjuster screw or something but after taking the rubber cap off to...

Hello all again! Still having problems with my car turning on full lock as previously mentioned. http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?t=190168&highlight=danjacko Am I right in saying under the bonnet at the top of the suspension where there's a big piece of rubber is where you guys...

Nope but I'm lookin, want a set powder coating gold.

Right think I've got my head round what you mean. Does anyone have any pics of fitting the washers on the top struts? Also how many engine mounts are there and how do I check them???

OK - so is this engine mount an uprated one from k-tec? Would that possibly help? Is it worth taking it somewhere for a so called professional opinion? What kinda prices you loooking at for new shafts? Cheers. Dan.

Hi all, I apologise if this has already been posted many times before but I have a couple of noises on my 172. The first is when I'm in 1st gear and accelerating hard I her a kinda knocking noise? It's fine if I drive it gently. Secondly, I get a knocking on full lock when turning. I assume...

Cheers for the replies everyone. Looks like I'll just try n make up the ecu bracket best i can. It'll give my old man a challenge whilst I'm at work!! The seat is so annoyin, I'll investigate it further but I just can't find any loose bolts. The crack on the door panel isn't too bad - If anyone...

Hi all, I have a few problems with my 172 - any advice would be appreciated! 1 - Under the bonnet behind the battery there is a black box which seems to have lots of wires going into it - I'm not sure what this is but I noticed the other day there is a bracket at the top right hand side which...

I got my 172 about 6 months ago and I'm in the same boat. The imported version has no alarm, just the standard reno immobiliser which is the red light on the dash. My Hpi report also states it is not an import, therefore how are you to know? So your insurance company can't do anything about it...

I've got one! Bought it direct from K-tec so it was bit pricey but personally I think it's definitely worthwhile! My old, original filter was dead so I probably noticed a significant increase in engine pick up and it adds a little more 'grunt' when accelerating hard. Great mod if u don't want an...

Possibly me!!! lol

Changed mine on my 172 ph2 the other day- my local halfords had nothing similar and renault said I had a 2 day wait to order so nipped across to citroen and they had the exact same one! Peugeot also do the same one. From Citroen I paid 13.71 inc VAT which I thought was ok imo! Just remember you...

Okay this sounds like a really daft question but what is the best way to apply external CS stickers? Does warmth help and obviously nice dry, clean glass? The letters on my sticker seem to be staying on the white backing and not staying on the film!!!

Yeah I've driven my friends and they seem a bit quicker but mine always had 17 inch wheels on it which won't help! I now have the original wheels on and it's still flat - no idea where to start?!?

How do they work independantly then? I was under the assumption that when I squirt my front screen with the dipped lights on, after 5 secs they both get sprayed? Is that not correct? I haven't tried disconnecting the pipe because I'm not sure I can get to it without removing the bumper? The...

Ok I know these things are always going wrong but I'm trying to get mine in working order. I've just managed to repair my washer jets for the front and back screens - they're great now. My headlamp washer - only one side sprays water? I have blasted out the lines with air so I doubt there's any...

Okay sorted! Whipped everything apart and got the pumps out - the rear and front screen pump wasn't switching over so I managed to get one from citroen n that's sorted the problem! Very tricky to get the pumps in and out but being a plumber I know a good trick - a dribble of washing up liquid on...

Well that's exactly what I was thinking - the engineer even said he drives to work in the morning in an EVO 9 FQ 340!! Hardly the slowest of cars. He says the engine should pick up at lot more at the lower revs but just drones along?

Hello all! I've recently purchased myself a 172 which meant the 1.2 16v dynamique had to go. Fortunately my apprentice bought it from me and loves the car, but upon having it checked over for peace of mind, the garage said all was fine but the engine felt very 'flat' and wasn't as nippy as it...

Hmmm, well I have all my scuttle panel n wipers off now and still can't work it out. I've thoroughly cleaned the tank n the front washers are great now. With the headlights on, after a short delay one headlamp washer fires but the other doesn't - guess that could be a block pipe? But I'm...

Ok when I twist my rear washer control the motor definitely works cos I get spray out the front but nothing out the back. I'm guessin that means I have a blocked pipe somewhere? How's the best way to unblock it??? Any ideas?

Hey all, Got a problem with my washer jets n just can't seem to solve it! I can't get any water through my back window jet? Whenever I try, I get water out of my front jets? I've had my spoiler off and disconnected the pipe but still nothing? Can I remove the water tank if I remove the black...

Right so might need a new pump afterall? Is it hard to replace? Any guides? Does the 172 have it's own manual of is it just a standard clio manual?

Also, does anyone know where I can get a Cliosport car manual from? Mine's missing from the cars wallet!! Cheers. Dan.

Well it seems pretty clear my Renault garage are really trying to rip me off!! I put in a search on parts gateway and I got two parts coming up - an immobiliser receiver from Just Renaults - about £24 incl. p&p and Renault Spcialists say they have one for £41 incl. p&p. Is "Transponder Ring" the...
