Unfortunately, due to redundancy - I've decided to put my beloved 172 up for sale. I'll be so sad to see it go, but needs must and could do with something cheaper to save up money. So, here we are; http://www.pistonheads.com/classifieds/manage/submit.asp?a=410146&i=2236410&t= £3400 o.n.o...

Anyone heard of one of these, mine has bust on the 172 and its causing the car to overheat on idle. I've taken some picture of the part in question - does anyone have a part number/price at all? I'm gonna take a punt at it being a renault only part. (Please excuse the poor quality of the...

Spotted on Saturday about 5ish in the afternoon, heading towards York No idea who it was, but pretty sure it had a Clio Sport sticker in the window, and a kid in the back, fast asleep haha. Also had a private plate!

Well, finally got the car back today after 8 weeks at the bodyshop! Everything is great with the car, a really good job has been done, butttt... When I was driving it before, the water temperature slowly crept right the way to the top, after 5 minutes of driving, it was at the top and both...

My mate was silly drunk on Sunday night, and has thrown up in the back of my courtesy car! Its all cleaned up etc, and theres no stains or anything, but the faintest smell of sick is still lingering - I've been febreezing it over the past couple of days, but i'm wondering if theres anything...

Hi guys, does anyone know the size of the 182 surround? I've just bought a powerflow exhaust, which is twin pipe, and i'm hoping I can use the 182 surround to go round the bumper cut out which will be needed to make it sit flush. I'm not hopeful of it happening, but i'll do it if the sizes...

from the previous crash (which was my fault).... someone pulls out on me and does this :( Now, I know its mainly cosmetic (new light, bumper, wing), but what do people make of all the bent metal around the light/wing area. Will that pose much of a problem in terms of insurance if it...

Not too sure if this is in the right bit or not... but basically, a friend of mine did the tracking on my mk2 ph2 172 earlier today, and it was bang on, but kept pulling to the right, so he took the steering wheel off, which led to a couple of issues; the white wire for the horn (connected...

Hi guys, Is there a difference between the rear seatbelts in a 172ff and a cup? I was due to buy one, but turns out the one I was going to buy didnt have a purple cable running from it, whereas the one I removed from my car did. Would this be a problem if i was to put a cup seatbelt in...

Hi Guys, Code Reader my 172 earlier, and got a fault, i think the code was P0136? Anyway, checked the book and it said some sort of problem with an oxygen sensor, cleared the code, and its come back. Could anyone give me any indication at all where the problem may be? I know I'm being a...

Would anyone recommend using this as a glaze? I've been told its got swirl removal properties, so thinking of using it before waxing my car. Anyone know how i'd go about applying it? Mainly interested in peoples opinions on the product though :)

Hi Guys, Does anyone have the following part numbers, and possibly a price? I need a drivers side wing for a Mk2 Ph2 Clio Sport, and I also need (bare with me), one of the manifold bolts (looks like it has some sort of spring around it, not sure what its called?) Can anyone assist?

Could anyone suggest the way/product to clean the roof lining inside of the car? I've got marks over it where mates have touched it, or where i've touched it with dirty hands or whatever, and as its off the road, want to give the whole car a going over, so this is one of the next points of call :D

I dont suppose someone has any photos of where pre-tensioners can be found within a 172? I'm trying to figure out what i'm looking for so I can see which ones I need to replace. Cheers Si

I've done a search but couldnt find what I was looking for. I've crashed my car, and need to check which pre-tensioners have gone, and how to replace them? Any idea how I would know they had gone off, and how would I replace them? Any idea where I could come across some as well

Hi Guys, Anyone know a price/part number for a new gear selector? When I crashed my car recently, the gear selector has either bent/snapped. Rest of the gearbox is fine, so hopefully I can just get a new gear selector.

The tree won

Hi All, Can anyone advise whether Seatbelts should be replaced after a crash? I crashed in the snow last week, and hit the front drivers side wheel hard into a tree, causing seat airbag to go off, and i'd imagine both pre-tensioners on that side. I've been told its best to, but wanted to check?

Hiya guys, Recently bought a Type-R aerial for my car, so, went to go fit it, and i had an issue with the thread for the aerial, it was seized in the base unit. Got some mull grips on it today to get it off, and it looks like i've taken more than just the thread out of the base unit, i've...

Gave it a wash, clay and polish this morning, no real updates on it, hardly had anything done. New number plates, new sidelights and fog lights, rear number plate bulb, sprayed the front renault badge black, yer, thats it lol. Be brutal.. I was a claying virgin until this morning :approve:

Recently took mine off to spray, however, it seems that the previous owner had bumped the car, or had the badge off previously, so i tried to araldite the badge back on. Thought that was the end of it, but came to wash the car today and it came off when i brushed the sponge against it...

I'm after properly detailing my car one weekend, however, i'm a bit of a newbie to all this proper washing!! At the minute, I just hand wash the car every weekend, and give it a polish every now and then. I think after xmas, i'm going to completely gut it, and go the whole hog But, can...
