Well - time has come to move on the 172 and grow up (as the wife says). Signed the papers today on a slightly larger car, well a 407 station wagon to be precise so bye bye performance and handling and hello lots of room and luxury (the panaramic roof sold it). I've enjoyed the clio and loved...

Do they work on non renault cars? I am getting a HDI peugeot and want to remap without the huge cost of taking it to a tuners. Cheers

First time ever... Have 3 pts, 1 claim, wife on policy, 35, 7 yr ncb, live in pretty poor area. Last year was 800 odd. Got it at 477 this time. Cheaper than the wifes Punto! lol:star:

What DOT should I use and how much would it cost to get a garage to do this for me? Cheers

Having a break as I'm knackered Trying to get the back disc off - one side slid straight off, the other is stuck fast. Tried belting a wood block with a hammer against the disc and it's moved a little but now doesn't seem to want to budge. Any ideas?

A is it a T30 or T40 holding the disc on? Mine seem stuck, is there a good way to free them up. Do I need to take the 28mm(?) bolt out the centre? or will they just come off with the torque bolts?

Just tonight fitted some new discs to the rear, new bearings and pads. All aftermarket parts I will add. Bearings pressed into the disc fine, good fit and circlip also went in no problem. When the disc was first put on it caught the bolts which hold on the caliper from the back. a few...

Its been a long time since I last did this. Do you still need to pack the grease into bearings and can you use some to help them press into the disc?

OK, car will have 100k on the clock very soon and is starting to look a bit tired. I want to get her spick and span for the summer and this starts with new disc's all round (with pads), then off for a new aux belt. What else would you have done at this point? I normally do the servicing...

How hard is it, any things to look out for, and how much should it cost to get the bearings pressed into the disc's?

Think my rear disks may be warped, there getting on and I have a vibration now. Couple of questions: how hard is the job of replacing them do they have the bearing pressed into them and do they come like this how much would I expect to pay for a set. Cheers

I'm getting a noise when I travel at speed. Its not the exhaust as its still present if I throttle off and take it out of gear, it seems to come from the rear and is a loud droning noise. I can't feel any vibration? is this likely to be a bearing and how much is involved in changing them?

On the sea front, littlehaven side, one looked like Kirtons LY one. Were you getting wrong? Did wave:evil:

Would these spark plugs have caused dropping power at high revs?

I bought a scanner to check my car out, nearly 100k on the clock and its had its share of issues of late so I thought - what the hell - lets check it out. Not one single code is registered... Feel robbed now. Is this to be expected, and is there some reason it didn't pick my airbag light up?

Anyone point me in the direction. The car has been popping on a light and limiting the revs for the last few days since I changed exhausts. Could it be a damaged sensor or restricted flow?

I have a new yellow light to stare at now. Came on today and my car went into limp mode. Its a rectangle with a jagged line running across it (like of like electric or lightning). Any Idea what it is? I've recently changed exhausts and wonder if I may have damaged a sensor but have also...

About 30 mins ago I changed my steering wheel, all the trimmings, battery off, airbag off, wheel off, however when reconnected the horn contacts didn't match, the airbag light came on and then the cable which coils around snapped. The car still started at this point and I stripped it all back...

I've heard you can get refill tins to recharge your air conditioning when it gets a bit poop. 1. Is it better to pay the price and have a garage do it? 2. Is using these cans easy and do they work? Noticed you can get them for £25 on ebay. Been quoted around £50 for a garage to do it

Some early pics from todays North East Meet. Small, cold but perfectly formed.

I have some new headlight washers and rather than doing the full job was gonna flush the system with hot water and pop the balls to see if the jets still worked. How do you get the balls out without damaging the washer jet and is this just a lazymans way of fixing the issue?

My 172 doesn't have it - is it possible to fit and what kit is needed?

Bored this morning so I went out for a lil drive around Washington. On my way home I was passing National Tyres and they seemed quiet so I popped in for an oil change and to have my tracking checked. I hate changing the oil myself as that filter is a b**ch to get off so was very pleased with...

Anyone got any good places to pick up a carbon bonnet sub £400

Not sure what the problem is but here is a description: first 2 gears, no issues - will go up the rev's no problems the problem happens sometimes in 3rd but mostly in higher gears when going just over a tonne. I get little patches of power loss, as if the petrol is blocked, not sure if...

Hi All Sick of my exhaust this year, had 2 replacement cat's (2nd hand) and running a magnex cat back system but its been playing up with daft noises for months. Now when I take my foot off the pedal its making a loud flat noise, possibly vibrating off the car body. So I plan to go back to...

Took a short trip to a mates house last night, 10 mile trip, just dodged an accident by 12 cars lengths and police closed road for 2 hrs. Turned car off but left radio on, went to start it again, flat as a fart. Had to bump start but flat again today. Had the battery tested and its a gonner...

How much for a new radiator? fitted of course. Clio172

Hi I seem to be loosing a bit of water from the car at the moment. What are the normal bandits for this type of fault. Can't seem to see it leaking so suspect it is evaporating. Can be quite smokey when starting up but have checked for normal head gasket symptoms and nothing. Cheers
