Lovely motor but I still think its all going pearshaped along the lines of pug 206/207ish looks , they all seem to look the same roughly , still I'd love it whatever .
hi guys as you may well of read I purchased a Cup spoiler for my 172 , well its been painted and it looks fantastic , fits like a dream and was on the car in less than 5 mins take a look .
The front splitter is a Peaugeot 307 one as done on here by another member , I think its a very easy...
Renault dealer 60p each plus the blood , snap em off and you have to drill out the bottom of the clip , use a very small drill peice , I used a dremel , then all you do is Araldite the new ones in . Easy peasy Lionel Squeezy .
Just got mine for £50.00 , my mate brought it a while ago , he didn't know what it was ha ha , I offered him £50 bucks for it and he ripped my arm off lol , being sprayed soon and I'll post some pics .
What a Steal .
I did this on my Lexus to paint the insides matt black and remove the orange indicator strip , its quite easy , do it on a low heat for no more than 15 mins and watch it constantly , it only has to soften the adhesive then prise it apart with a non metalic blade ( I used a kiddies toy...
Tom , yes do both of them , they are simple to do so do them yourself and count the turns off and then mirror it when replacing the new one , do this both sides and make sure that the amount of turns / thread showing is roughly even , tighten everthing up and shoot to somewhere that you know...
Untrained eye ?? you'd have to be Stevie Wonder to not spot any difference from a standard 1.6 and a 172 Sport , what about the deeper bumpers , xenons , seats come on , its far harder to spot the difference between a Saxo VTR and a proper VTS , I've got a 172 and its quite rare round my parts...
The bolts are --kin tight , make sure you use a socket or the ring end of the spanner do not use the open end you might damage the bolt end , you have one of the bolts pictured as above reply says but remove the brake caliper first and then the hanger then you can remove /replace the disc , make...
Check that there is no play in the front bearings ( jack car up and hold wheel at 12 and 6 o'clock and try to rock ) if there is play then the alignment will not be true , any garage worth their salt should check this before doing an alignment check , also you forgot to mention where you had the...
Re: Brake light always lit...
Go a local motor factors and buy a can of contact spray and spray you elecrical contacts with it and give em a little wiggle and it will resolve the problem .

Sourced a ring at www.cliospares.co.uk £12.50 plus postage . The fella was helpful and really knew his stuff about Clio's , I'd say "give them a try" if you need parts . will fit it next weekend .
I'd put money on the tracking or castor / camber angle knocked out when you hit the kerb . You ned to get a full geometry check , good body shops can offer this service.
Hi , I have a Clio 172 , 2003 model and the ABS ring is cracked on the N/S/F I know that they can be replaced and Reluctorring have an option for 26 teeth , 44 teeth or a 182 ring , now mine has 44 teeth so is this correct for the 172 ?? I don't know if I'm being over cautious or if there is a...
Use Hammerite smooth , I've done loads on all sorts of cars and have never had a problem , just make sure you prepare the surface properly and get rid of all the rust and get it as smooth as you can , give it plenty of coats and you can acheive a powder coated finish . here's a pic of my Lexus...
