I've just had a new set of these delivered for the Clio :) There's 4 lines in the pack, but looking at the car, there are 2 flexi hoses on each side of the rear. So with only 4 hoses in the pack, the rear's will still have a normal rubber hose left on each side, is that right, or am I missing...

I'm planning on putting some in my 172. I want them to fit in with the standard interior as much as possible without looking just bolted on - currently thinking about putting them in the little storage pot on top of the clock / stereo display? What have you guys done? Thoughts and pictures...

I'm looking at doing a novice track day at Snetterton in November in my totally standard 172. I'm fairly sure the standard brakes won't cut track use but I'm not sure how far I need to go with them, I don't want to spend loads, but I don't want to make any silly compromises either. I need to...

I'm currently on the hunt for another 172. I went to see an 02 plate one today and noticed that the exhaust note was a little raspy for standard. When I asked the dealer about it he told me it had a brand new standard system on it, but it had a 4 branch manifold, hence the deeper tone. I've...

More problems with my car :dapprove: I had my coil pack go a while ago, when I had the new one fitted I was noticing that the car had a slight misfire at below 2000 revs, which got more noticable as the car got hotter. I put it down to another dodgy coil pack and replaced it on Wednesday...

My 02 172's engine management light is on at the moment, after having a diagnostics check on it its showing that the brake light switch is faulty? Anyone else had this? How expensive is the part and how tricky is it to replace. I've never come across one before!

I've started having problems with my 172 starting. Started happening last week when I went to start the car, lights all went out as normal, radio, lights, climate control all working as normal. But when I try to crank the starter it wont turn just goes dead. Tried it again and again and...

Tonight whilst driving home in the rain, my front windscreen wipers packed up, rear one still working perfectly. At first I thought it might be a problem with the auto wipers, so I tried switching them on permanently, but no joy. I checked the fuse, which was fine. When I switch the wipers on, I...

Could anyone tell me how to change the coil pack's on my 02 plate 172? It's currently running on 2/3 cylinders and want to try and get it sorted for the weekend. Any help most appreciated!

I'm thinking about goin to watch the race at snetterton this weekend (http://www.renaultsport.co.uk/championships/cliocup/calendar/) Looking on the snetterton website it says that there is qualifying and a race on saturday and then a race on sunday too. Anyone know why there's 2 races? I'm...

Does anybody know how I can get my hands on the security code for my radio, its the standard one from an 02 plate 172. I've checked and I don't have it with any of my documents. Rang Renault and they wanted £10 for it!

Was parked next to you in the Zaks in Poringland (10 ml outside Norwich) car park last night. Had a cliosport sticker in the back window :D

Hi everyone, I have had my 172 a couple of weeks now and have given it a couple of washes and waxed it once, but even straight after washing it the paintwork doesn't feel very smooth. It looks shiny and the water beads off it, but it doesn't have the same smooth and glossy feel that my old VTS...

was driving my 172 in the wet for the first time today and found it was understeering quite a bit, don't know whether it's the tyres (avon z 3's front and exalto's on the back) or just normal for the car? My old vts was a bit twitchy, but not as bad as the 172

Hi all, Could anybody recommend a good mechanic to look at the belt tensioner on my 02 reg 172? It's a bit squeeky when cold so just want someone who knows what they are doing to check it out for me.
