    Standard speaker wire capability?

    Will be fitting an amp and a set of new components to my 172 this weekend - does anybody know if the standard speaker wire can cope with 60W RMS to 4 ohm speakers? Don't really fancy getting new wires through to the doors unless completely necessary...

    My stainless cat back 172 exhaust on eBay - needs repair

    Selling an exhaust off my 172 on eBay, stainless, very quiet, well hidden, but does need the backbox hanger welding back on where it has snapped off due to poor design. Was on the car when I bought it so no idea of the history, looks custom made as nothing is branded...

    Spotted: Sunflower Ph1 @ Ford Dunton

    Passed me just after I crossed the road near the edge of A building, apparently was in Laindon Tesco afterwards too. I used to have a Sunflower Ph1 too. I miss it. Oh how I hate you now.

    Quick Ph1 172 Exhaust Question regarding length

    I'm looking to buy a new backbox for my Ph1 172 - am I right in thinking that only the length for the centre section differs between models with or without a post-cat lambda sensor, and therefore the backboxes are identical between all Ph1 and Ph2 172s?

    Abandoned Valver on side of A130, Essex

    Spotted a presumably broken down Ph2 Valver on the A130 near Basildon on my way to work yesterday, looks serious as there was no one anywhere near it, pity as I love those cars. Anyone on here?

    Driver Window only going down (Not a regulator failure)

    I have managed to avoid electrical gremlins with the Clios. Until now. The drivers window will only go down, not up. There is a relay click from behind the glovebox, but no current at the connector for the window motor. If i repeatedly click the switch, about 1/100 times it will work and go up...

    I have a second hand Pioneer TS-WX77A slimline sub to fit, however instead of usual robust amp connections, Pioneer have put all the power and audio inputs onto a harness connector - over the years the pins have weakened and two have broken.

    eBay seller attitude

    Should I be annoyed at this response to my best offer? Because I am. I hardly think offering £1250 on a car advertised at £1750 is a silly offer. Thoughts?

    Shaking when accelerating - diff or driveshaft?

    In the drive to work today my 182 has started to violently shake on medium to hard acceleration, but be absolutely fine when coasting. It sounds like the engine is hitting the limiter constantly as the revs increase. I am putting it down to either differential or driveshaft failing, how should...

    Intermittent wheel vibration

    Recently a problem has been developing on my 182 where the wheel will shake reasonably violently at around 70-80 mph some of the time, but at no other speeds. At constant speed it will come and go. Any ideas on the likely cause? There is a few clunks when steering on the spot, no idea if that...

    Returning to standard numberplate

    Not sure if this is the correct place to put this... If I want to remove the terrible private plate that is on my car and return to the original, how do I go about that? As far as I can find out it will cost £80, and I have no intention of putting the old plate on retention so no fees there.

    Where to get rear springs for 182 (w/ cup packs)

    Where can I get rear springs for my 182 with the cup packs? I don't mind aftermarket as long as my car will sit with the correct ride height, with similar to standard stiffness. I know I can get them from Renault but I'm not looking to pay £100 per spring!

    Cabasse Auditorium

    I currently have a 2004 182 with a normal Tuner List radio in it - will a Cabasse Auditorium headunit work ok? I think I saw someone mention that the wiring is different but that seems strange...

    I just bought a Clio 182 fairly cheaply! No major problems but something is wrong with the rear suspension - the ride height is uneven and the back of the car is very soft to push down? When driving it feels a bit wobbly from the back. What is the most likely cause of this on these cars -...
