This is to anyone who's rebuilt a jc5. My syncros are grinding occasionally in 3rd and 4th, and I'm just trying to weigh up the difference in costs between a used box, or rebuilding the spare box I have with a damaged 5 gear, with new bearings and sychros. Used boxes seem to vary so much in...

I've got the opportunity to have the above stereo for my ph1. Only problem I can see is, the 182 has navigation, factory fit with the colour screen, and the radio shows up on it. Hoping it will fit!

Mine has one missing I think - it has one on the outside of the bulkhead, but nothing inside. Ive tried pulling the outside one up to get the lip inside the car to no success. Ive looked at 182 and it has one inside. Can anyone have a peek at their 172 for me at the bottom of the column where...

Just inherited my partners 3GS. When I got it I updated it to iOS 5, with the latest software as of 2 weeks ago. Since then it's slowed right down. Takes ages to catch up with me, and sometimes when I go back a page on here, it takes me back to the blue forum, and 3-5 days back! Either I'm Marty...

My ph1 upper bearing in the column had gone. It only had slight play, but is now notchy as hell. DannyR is sending me a column, but not sure if he can get it to me by this weekend. Does anyone know if the lower model Clio columns are the same?

Been working for Audi for 6 weeks now, and just had a 182 come in p/x. Thought i'd ask more about it, and was told the following: 1 lady owner. 30,000 miles. Full Renault history. 11 months mot. Silver. Genuinely immaculate inside and out. Full new set of Michelin Exalto tyres. Could be mine...

Can this be done? I'm sure I've seen software somewhere online for this, but can't think where. My friend suggested using an external hard drive, but isn't the iTunes file protected?

Just recently I've noticed a few of my album covers have changed. Crystal Xastles second album now shows a picture of Big Boi from Outkast, Ellie Gouldings album now shows a mix between the old album and the updated one, and Coldplays Parachutes shows different covers. Any way of fixing this...

As above. God knows why Apple dont allow this. Any programmes out there that will take movies etc and convert them into a format that iTunes will play?

As above really. I bought a SDHC card a couple of years ago for my new samsung camera. Didn't realise it was a SDHC card until I fitted it and the camera didn't like it. I've got to buy a big SD card for my partners digital photo frame, but the majority of cards in Tescos etc are now SDHC...

I'm looking to buy one for my Cousin for Christmas, but I think £50-£60 for a genuine Microsoft one is a bit steep. I've looked on Amazon for generic ones, with mixed reviews. Has anyone used anything other than the real thing? What would you recommend?

The time came to sell my 172. Insurance was just becoming to much, and with a new addition to the family 7 weeks ago, I had to be sensible. I'll be saving £350 a year by going to the new purchase. It took about 2 months to sell, not due to lack of interest, but mainly due to the interest being...

Spare wheel well damage? The previous owner to me reversed into a small static plastic bollard at low speed in a carpark, which in turn put a dent in the spare wheel well. It hasnt marked the bumper at all which shows that this wasnt caused by another vehicle. There is no sign of paintwork, and...

Noticed i've got a power steering leak. Doesn't look too bad, but yet to get the undertray off and have a nose. Is there a common pipe that leaks? I refuse to pay Renault prices, as i've seen some figures floating about on here that scare me. Can Pirtek etc make pretty much any hose? Anyone been...

Spotted as above. Looked immaculate! Driven by a hot blonde. Think it was a 52' plate. I apologise in advance if its anyones OH!

Took these at the weekend after a good clean up. Been using Collinite 476 on it, which after a huge disapointment from the 1st layer, added a couple more and its starting to be as good as everyone says. I'm not the best with a camera, so I apologise. I'd love to lower it and fit a set of...

As above. Lovely yellow Cup racer, had the driver name Brooker in the windows. Thought it was quite slow but then realised it was a novice driving, so well done for staying on the track! Was also a silver ph1 172 there parked near me. Follwed out but dont think the driver was too keen as...

Parked up near the Triumph garage. Tucked away, only just caught a glimpse. Looked very clean!

At first I thought some yobbo may of painted the calipers yellow on my 172, but the more I see, both on here, and privately for sale, most of them have yellow calipers. I'd paint them black, but want to keep my car as original as possible....

Was speaking to a friend who drives a red Corrado Vr6. He'd just fitted a new oil cooler and went out to test the car. Came across a Honda S2000 and a Trophy at the Brede crossroads. Ended up getting snadwiched between the two and had a good play through the lanes. He didnt grab a reg, anyone on...

or do I need to remove the shaft from the box end (n/s) and remove the spider, then inner boot then slide the outer c.v boot off? I'm changing the outer boot after work, and i'd like to get it done with minimal fuss!

If i'm right, when people mention the de-phaser pulley, they essentially mean the inlet pulley for the VVT? Im probably going to change this when I do the belts as i'm now doing 400 miles a week and want to change them for peace of mind. I'll obviously be locking the cams at the back, and...

Am posting this on behalf of Evo magazine really. I really want to do this myself, but its just too late notice for me to get the time off work. Evo magazine want an as near to standard Ph1 Clio 172 for a RenaultSport feature. There will also be a Williams, 172 cup, 182 cup, 182 Trophy, 197...

Recieved a phone call from Richard from Evo magazine. They are doing a feature on all the RenaultSport Clios. They are looking for a Phase 1 and saw my PH advert and got in contact. Trust it to be the only bloody day I cant get off work! Think a sicky is in order, havent been off ill in 2 years...

Looked really good, making me like the 200 even more now!

Looked minty mint, on a 59 plate. Pulled up outside the shop at the crossroads.

As above. GSF dont have any in stock, and cant give me a date on when they will. Going to go genuine, but as Renault are 15 miles away, i'd rather give them a part number so they deliver it right, first time.

Had white wheels which looked like Speedlines, and white stripes. I'd of flashed, but was in a work parts van as i'm moving over that way.

Was parked there Thursday night on the top carpark, so must of been staying in the hotel. Watching Peter Kay?

As above really. I love the wheels as they are, but i'm just itching to have a tinker. I've a baby en route, so dont have the funds i used to when i was younger, so am a bit restricted on spending. I think the silver wheels really suit the car, but am tempted with something a bit bolder etc...
