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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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!!

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...

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...

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...

My new 172 has a loud and very visible twin pipe exhaust. Going to change it for something more subtle and quieter and am considering my options. While I’m at it I might splash a little bit on performance mods but its key it doesn’t make it too noisy! Choice 1 – Yozzasport stealth - £349.00...

Bought a 172 and its got this exhaust fitted - can anyone identify it for me? I think its a magnex.... I intend to remove it from the car as girlfriend hates it and its too noisy for her (I actually quite like it!) I want something stealthy and quieter - esp on the motorway. Was thinking...

Putting some miles on my new 172 and discovered a potential niggle. Quite often (but not always) when I go to start it it takes two bursts turning the key before it starts. ie it won't catch first time (me-thinks immobiliser) but then starts easily if I give it another burst. Is this normal...

My newly bought Ph2 172 has a twin exhaust. I actually like the sound but it does drone on the m'way and I want something quieter and more stealthy. If possible I would also like to release cheap power - decat by choice. Is it possible to get a quiet decat system? If not (as I suspect) what...

Just picked up my 172, I want to change the exhaust for something suble (liking the stealth look ones) but I need it to not be too loud, esp on the m'way. I would like to release a but of power if possible and cost means I cannot run to a 200/100 cell cat (which would be my ideal). So my...

New 2001 172 bought with standard CD player and changer. I want to be able to use my Ipod and really want some better quality but I don't have much to spend on this. I know you can get an Ipod wire for the standard stereo but is the standard stereo any good? I don't want anything...

Well just put a deposit down in this.... http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/1041099.htm Inside is mint, good SH, paint needs a couple of touch ups and I'm not sure about the exhaust! Picking it up tomorrow and will be keen to start meddling to get it how I like - ipod first, possible speaker...

Noob here, howdy forum! Looks like a garage has blown up my Alfa so after a new car. I was toying between 172 and CTR but the extra cost of a CTR and the mpg I'm struggling to justify it. I have a flexible budget of between £2.5k and £4kish but this is to be my 'sensible' day and the less I...
