Hi Guys, Not a 'sport' issue, but thought I'd put it the way of my old community. Having an issue with girlfriend's Clio Phase II Car opens with central locking fob, but car just turns over without starting. Immobiliser(?) light on top middle of dashlights is flashing...

Hi All, My back box fell off yesterday. Phoned some exhaust places, but it appears that they're not 'patent' copied yet. Whatever that is. So main dealer only. Boo!! Quoted £120 by Sunwin Nottingham. Is there a cheaper alternative?? Need to know asap, as I can't continue to drive...

Hi, Are there any good websites that list cars by performance figures? I'm after my next car and want something sub 7 seconds to 60mph. After that, mpg and insurance are considerations. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

But this forum has always provided me with the info I need. Got a standard Mk II 172 in black in excellent condition with 73K on the clock. It's an import and I've owned it from new. What sort of price range should I be looking for if I part exchange it? Thanks.

Hi, Got a standard Mk. 2 172 on a 02 plate. Blew a tyre up last night, and the fronts are overdue renewal anyway. What size tyres do I need, as i'm going to order them from mytyres.com today??? Yes, I should know, but the car is parked miles away and I can't be bothered to walk...

Hi Guys, My 172 has started crying !!............. My drivers side headlamp washer has just started leaking. Car is out of warranty. Does anyone know the cause, and fix for this. Is it just replacing the squirty balls(!!) ??

Sorry to be a pain, but all the older links to pictures dont seem to be working anymore. Id appreciate it if someone could provide pictures of the JustMatz front carpets with the logo on it.:) Thanks in advance......

Hi All, What with the cold weather upon us, I had the Climate control up at 26 degrees on the way to work this morning (hours drive). I didnt seem to get too toasty in the car as I would have expected it to. I put it on max, and although the heat improved slightly, it was too noisy with...

Okay, try this one........ Make sure car is warmed up to normal operating temperature (no cheating) Fill up to the brim with fuel Reset the trip computer and set it to display MPG Nail it out of the garage (if safe obviously) See what the computers first MPG reading comes back as I...

Hi All, My windscreen washer bottle has cracked on my Clio 172. Common fault I gather. Renault have said that as the car has 30K on it, they will only accept a 50% weighting on the warranty, so I have to pay for 50% of the cost of replacement. Is this right ??

Funny one this - When I cane the clio, almost immediately afterwards, I can smell something like concentrated windscreen washer fluid in the cabin. Its not eggy cat smell, but smells like Ive just squirted the screen with super-concentrated wash. Anybody any clue ?

My missus phoned me up to say that the brake lights were on all the time on the way back from work. (She uses the 172 during the week - I get to play at weekends). I gave it my usual patronising bit. "Have you got the rear fogs on ?" "Is your handbag resting on the pedal ?" But no ...

How can I tell if my sidelights are on ? :D I mean, I dont get any indication on the dashboard like I did in my valver. Do I have a blown bulb, or is there just no indication ?

Is that to the uneducated eye, my mk2 172 looks much like an ordinary Clio when its large in the rearview mirror. So, you get the prats in their RAV4s and Mondeo 16v turbo sport family truck dithering, when an overtaking opportunity arises. Will they get out of the way for a Clio ? Will...

Driving through a 30 mph area with 4 people in car, going out for a meal, doing about 35 (oops !),when a blue box Volvo pulls out of a side street and cuts me up. I quickly nip round him and we get to a national speed limit stretch of about 4 miles. I go to about 60, and he catches me up and...

Well, Mk 2 172 now has 4k on it, BUT, drivers side headlight unit keeps steaming up. This obviously must affect the beam alignment. Anybody else had this. Probably going to talk to the dealer ref warranty. Any other suggestions ?

Hi All, Ive had my Mk2 clio 172 for 5 months now. Very nice. Just a couple of questions:- Is the exhaust stainless steel as standard (its always clicking and ticking after I switch off). I read on this forum something about the throttle being fly by wire. Does this mean that my car...
