Here you go.... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/222553063521

I was just about to post a link to it on the 'ebay' section to get opinions. I cannot access ebay at work but I 'won' it last night for £3400 but did not hit reserve - was wondering about talking to the guy. I reckon reserve will be around £4k. So £5k all in with new gearbox, clutch...

I think I need to dismiss this option - much as though I'd love to learn I just do not have the time. Whether I buy this car or not from what I am reading I should understand the cost of this - seems to be pretty common.

I'm struggling to find any guides to get an idea of difficulty? Cheapest quote I have had is £450ish for book time (7.5 hours) from Rentec Bristol

Yep, Agency quoted £350 but cannot take the box out/in and didnt have any recommendations. You removed/refitted it yourself? Is this something a non-specialist would be fine with?

Renparts do it for £600 inc fitting but I think my wife would divorce me if I suggested driving up there! https://renparts.co.uk/store/home/1022-renault-sport-clio-iii-197-200-20-16v-tl4024-gearbox-fitting-recycled.html

My thoughts were , if the price is right, buy this, get gearbox done and know its good. rather than buy a car and have the box go a couple of months later. I'm trying to figure out that the 'correct' price to pay for the car to take account of the gearbox repair.

So potentially looking at a Clio 200 with a dodgy 3rd gear. I've had drive in / out repair quotes of £1100 - £1200 from the 'big names' on here. Is there a cheaper way? I'm only an hour from Agency transmissions but do not have the time / expertise to remove the gearbox myself and struggling for...

Can anyone clarify: 1-what model RS Tuner this is? There is no writing on it anywhere! 2-do I have everything I need? 3-What Renaults can it remap? 4-Does it just need a €95 (£78) single reprog licience to be used? I thought it was cheaper than that? I have had a look on the fastchip...

I have one of the older type that I was considering selling (assume its locked) - feel free to give me an offer for it.

Yep, talking this one.... http://www.yozzasport.co.uk/proddetail.php?prod=yozzasport_clio_172_exhaust_system_stealth The missis puts 15k a year on it and I cycle to work - technically it is her car but like to ensure she does not get something dull as dishwater as I do all the non-commute...

Anyone got genuine experience of a Yozzasport standard replacement exhaust vs OEM exhaust? Do you find that it really is as quiet? Having trouble convincing the o/h that I can ever make the 172 quiet on the m’way. Not keen on blowing £350 before I can confirm it’s quiet enough for the...

The Tuscan is my toy the 172 is my daily 'hack' and thus would appreciate some peace and quiet first thing in the morning. I also have the g/f to convince that the clio can be my 'sensible' car! Interesting that the standard exhaust is quiet - may need to book a test drive somewhere to check...

I love my 172, great fun, practical, great mpg….. …..but….. I’m struggling with it on the m’way – the exhaust drones. It used to have a noisy exhaust but I have just changed the backbox for a 2.25 inch stealth ss backbox….but it still drones. I have only driven modified 172’s – are...

Just done some more swatting on the correct names for things (see edits above) – having had a mechanic look at this he reckons the leak is either from the base of the air inlet manifold or the rocker cover. He reckons it would be very difficult to change the cambelt without removing the aux...

On a recent service it was noted that my aux belt was worn in the centre where it seems to be catching on the pulley – not good. One of the reasons I bought this car was the recent cambelt change (he also explicitly told me the aux had been done...grrr) Cambelt was changed by previous owner...

Near the Uni/Hospital. Whats the solution? I can see it would be easy the other way round as the exhaust slides over the mid section (and could just use a sleeve) but can't see that I will be able to easily slide the backbox over the centre. Is that an offer of assistance?!?

As title really. Want to replace the very visible backbox on my 172. I have bought a 2.25 inch diameter s/s steath backbox (powerflow I think). I could buy a second hand standard centre section but: (a) It seems a shame to waste the 2.5 inch stainless centre section I already have. (b) I’m...

I've explained myself badly - I'm actually after the visible difference between the stealth versions of the standard and the stealth version of the supersport. I think the answer (as above) is that the supersport has no rear silencer box - just a straight pipe - I found a picture of one on the...

As title - what is the visible difference between the standard and the stealth. Has the super sport not got the rear silencer bit at all? Is it just a pipe? http://www.k-tecracing.com/show_product.asp?id=1088 Thanks!!

Re: Peace & Quiet: £350 for stainless stealth exhaust or £50 for a second hand standa But a second hand standard should be peanuts? I agree that hundreds on a standard is a waste.

Re: Peace & Quiet: £350 for stainless stealth exhaust or £50 for a second hand standa Anybody?! What sort of mileage do people get out of a standard exhaust?

Hmmm...I know I'm pushing it. I am considering just replacing the front speakers and maybe getting some system of plugging my ipod into the standard system. I like my quality audio but money spread thinly at the moment!

Bored of the low quality standard install but have restrictions on ££ I can spend on the Clio. Was looking for some help on good 'bang for buck' improvements. I was thinking: New Headunit - must be good with Ipod and hopefully would work with my HTC Magic (not a showstopper if it doesn't)...

Going to tie in my next service with changing the exhaust of my 172 with putting a stealth/quieter exhaust on it. I’m baulking at the price of the k-tech/yozza stealths – nearly 10% of the price I paid for the car! I was attempting to go second hand but there are no yozza’s second hand and...

Anyone?

I recently bought (well I assume its in the post) a second hand rs tuner. I have since found out that my 172 has had a remap in 2007 by Jamsport (cost him £300) – I think the Jamsport remaps are superchip ones. So my question: To unlock and use my rs tuner will cost me about £50 – waste of...

Right, another blast needed. So unless I unlock the RS Tuner it will not do anything for me?

Just bought a second hand RS Tuner but after a spirited run yesterday I noticed that my rev limit is above 7000 – probably nearer 7500 (maybe higher – did not try) Thus I assume it has been remapped (car otherwise standard). Is there any way I can plug in the RS Tuner and find out if it has...

Just thought of another option... Standard exhaust (or maybe the k-tech mild steel one) - £150 matched inlets £150 RS tuner £150 Pretty sure I could get hold a standard exhaust cheap
