Its been that long since i been on this forum i'm not sure where this post should go so moderators feel free to move me to relevant section. Hello to anyone who recognises me cant believe my username is still active. Any way has anyone had the side airbag go off and rip the seat and blow the...

Hi, im an oldie from the early days of the club. Not been on in ages due to crashing my valvers (all three of them :( Doh) and selling my 172 exclusive. I now have a skoda Octavia VRS 225bhp version. I'm well happy with the car and wont be getting another clio although now and again i miss the...

How do you turn the passenger airbag off, its essential i find out as the wife is due to have the baby in two weeks and its illegal to place a baby seat in the front without turning it off. Its a mk1 172 exclusive and doesnt have the key slot that comes with the new ones to turn it off. There is...

The wife is having a baby so we have got to get a car with 4 doors, We will be selling the 172 exclusive to buy a new car we should have about £9000 to play with. What are you recomendations? Criteria - 4 Doors, practical & very fast. The wife gets free petrol so engine size is unimportant...

Does anyone still have this fitted? Ive just aquired a new valver and taken the MD player out and replaced it with the original Blaupunkt Head unit and the car already had the optional disc changer in the boot. Luckily the guy who had the car previosuly didnt cut the connectors off, so it just...

While my car was in storage at GK Ford Mansfield, one of the toe rags who works there has nicked my brand new k-tec K5 Backbox and left the centre section. The f**kers only nicked my alloy centre caps last year when the other valver was in there for damage inspection. The insurance co wrote off...

The Valver eventually got evaluated at GK ford, they recon its gonna cost 2.5k to repair so its a right off, most probably gonna buy the car back off the insurance. Does anyone want it cheap in tact? It was near perfect prior to the crash. The only damage is front bumper, bonnet, slam panel...

Valver No. 2 has met a traggic death, some bloke decided to pull out infront of me in the wet nothing i could do to avoid him - frontal impact I might be buying the car back off the insurance when they write it off so a few of the members can benefit, everything seems to work engine still...

Dont have a dremel type thing so whats the easiest wayof polishing the aluminium manifold on the 172. Just want to get rid of the pits and oxydisation and then rub down with autosol. Would a small orbital sander be ok and then some wire wool? I have just sprayed the plastic plenum cover...

In light of recent events (heatshield falling off causing manifold to melt the accelerator cable and bonnet release cable) I have decided not to pay renault for the preiveledge of supplying me with a cheap and nasty foil heatshield and am having a custom stainless/ally foam backed heatshield...

Last night my throttle cable jammed on my valver and for some reason at the same time the bonnet release cable isnt working. The bonnet is open but i cant get it to close and lock shut. Now i have disconnected the throttle cable from the throttle end (as the tension was making the throttle stick...

Right some fiends came down in there hot hatches to my local bypass for a little sprint to see the differences between the cars CRX/172cup/VALVER My valver put on a good performance against the crx which was quicker than i thought but i comfortably maintained a gap but never lost him and he...

Should i prepare to have my pants pulled down and put lipstick on or do i have a chance? Mine is standard and the crx has stainless xsorts and induction kit, whats the virdict?

Whats the triangular shaped button called on the end of the wiper stalk doesnt seem to do owt! oh yeah Phase 2 valver

Ok i know most are there as analytical tools for the mechanics but what can be displayed on the screen. I know you can get oil level and petrol levels. You can also get the stereo to increase in volume as you drive faster and also make the doors autolock when you drive off (RAID). Are there any...

Right i had decided to fit the piper x and all was going well connected the clean air pipe from the throttle body to the piper x hsg sprayed the foam with oil and located the bell mouth intake in the fog light position as it fits perfect in the fog light surround (passenger side). However the...

Right having already done this on a 1.4 rt, im confident that i could do it on the Valver. Basically all i did last time was drain the old oil from the drain plug put back the plug and fill it up from a hole at the side of the gear box with auto-transmition fluid (red) until it flowed out, this...

And not much luck. Hopefully some kind person will have some views on how to fit it and a guide would be better. Here is the dilema i have a Mk1 172 exclusive so i want to keep it standard looking, i.e. no big holes in the front valance. I thought about removing the fog light like i did on my...

I know that instead of changing the valve timing like the Vtec the renault version changes the cam profile at low revs to improve idle but how is this done?

Has everyone recieved their kit yet, im still waiting whats delivery usually like from bbtuning?

I need a quick response so please dont move the topic mods! OK im thinking of ordering these for my valver (standard alloys) are they any good or would toyos be a better buy they have to be sub £40 Falcon ZE-512 http://img.delticom.de/Falken/ZE512.jpghttp://img.delticom.de/Falken/ZE512.jpg...

Does anyone have a problem with the lights on there valver not being very bright? Full beam is sh*t hot but headlights on there own you can only see just infront of the car ive adjusted them so they are at full tilt but theyjust seem sh*t. Will new bulbs make all the difference or should i just...

Whats the best thing to do? The paintwork on my new valver is imaculate apart from the rear arches which are starting to bubble up. Whats the best thing to do, have new metal welded in, have just linished and repainted or fibreglass etc. How much do you think it will cost. Is it worth it. The...

Anyone know were the fixing points are for a roll cage? My friend is a welder and i work at a company that buys in lots of m/s s/s and ally tube. Hopefully he is going to weld me up a cage for the Valver any one got any pics of the construction and the fixing points? Also what would be the best...

Just been to look at a 16V clio with intention to buy. I have had them in the past so i know a bit about them. This one seems ok but has a worrying problem of the idle speed is 1400rpm after you thrash it and it wont return to 900rpm unless you turn off the engine and restart it. Its as if its...
