Hi All, I have some Turini's on my car at the moment but the wife has kerbed them all - how much do you think I would get for them?? Want to get some new wheels (want to go to 16's - poss cup anthracites) and get her her own car!!. Mike.

Apart from Renault, have tried GSF and Europarts but no joy, Kwik Fit are no help either, has anyone ever got one elsewhere? Don't want stainless as I'm getting rid soon so want it std. Cheers!!

Evening, Just drove to the country for a pub lunch but driving at about 70 ish on the way there the car was making a low but loud humming noise. It's got slightly worse over the last couple of weeks but only at high speeds. Took it to Kwik Fit just to get it on the ramps and they said the...

I have got a dog bone mount with K-Tech uprated bushes going spare, was on my car for about 2,000 miles but found it a bit harsh so have gone back to normal. I don't need it so how much do you think I should sell it for?? Cheers.

Hello, I have searched and double searched but can't find a part number for the top left engine mount on a phase 2 172 (the one with 4 bolts you can view under the bonnet). I have gathered that is a different compund from the rest of the Clio range - has anyone got the part number to hand...

Morning, I've recently changed the bushes in my dog bone mount and also replaced the mount under the battery but am still getting the engine banging and also vibrating heavily under hard acceleration in first gear. Next will be to change the engine mount on the top left of the engine. Is this...

Hi, Have got the car in bits outside my dads house trying to do the engine mount below the battery. Have got the battery out no probs, undid the two smaller bolts, again no probs. When undoing the larger central bolt there was a very large "cracking" noise, is this ok? My second problem is...

how do you do it on a car with an air bag, i will be disconnecting the battery but how does the face of the steering whell come off?? Thanks.

I know it may seem a simple task but I've read stories on here where people are unable to start their car afterwards. Is there any set way of doing it on a 172 or any other car with immobiliser? Thanks, Mike.

Hi, I am getting a clicking when turningslowly and have been told it's my CV joint, is this a tough job for mechanics only or is it easy enough for me to do?? Thanks.

Hi, When I turn on full or even half lock I get a ticking noise from the front drivers side, it's sounds like when there's a stone in your tyre (there isn't) only a lot louder. My dad reckons it could be my CV joints, does this sound right and are they expensive and should I get both sides...

Afternoon, Have had a set of comps and a sub for ages but don't think I'll ever get round to putting them in and could do with the cash, how much do you think I would get if I decide to flog them, considering they have never been used? The comps are Vibe 5.25" 2 way K Series, 255W, Kevlar...

Hi, Got a renewal quote from Greenlight, £487 which has hardly moved since last year and I'm 29 this month. I have a better quote from Admiral at £424 PNCB, was just wondering if you live in London who you're insured with? This is on a 172, SD&P only with 8 years NCB, seems a bit steep still...

As I gave her a clean yesterday and have just worked out how to post up pics properly after years of being on here I thought it rude not to, not too bad for an hour and a bits work:

Hi, Just got some Michellin Pilot Sports put on the back of my 172 - I've got 205-40-17 Turini's. Never had a problem beforehand but now I am getting scrubbing at the back. Will putting the Michellin's on the front of the car help or is there just as much chance of them rubbing than as if...

Hi, After much deliberation I have finally got my new tyres. I have 17" turinis and had 205-40-17 Toyo's on the rear. These are now on the front and I had new Michelin Pilot Sports put on the rear, 140 quid fitted which I thought was a touch as they are 100 quid on my tyres. The only problem...

After a LOT of research, I think I may have chosen my tyres!! Black Circles can do 2 Pzero Neros for 154 quid fitted less than a mile from where I live. They are described as "Extra Load" though, what does this mean and what's your opinion on these tyres, not the prettiest but from the searches...

Need new front tyres as you may know but am having trouble getting hold of my first choice of GSD3's. What other options are there, have found a good deal locally on the above - are they like, any good. Am also getting good deals come up on Toyo R and P-Zero's, both of which I've heard mixed...

These any good, I'm no tyre expert but think I've found a good price, 63.50 delivered??

Am shopping for tyres at the moment and have seen some good deals on e-bay but as a pessimist I am always a bit dubious of these deals. Anyone got any experience of tyres off of here and who to look out for, this is what I've found...

Evening! Got two bald front tyres and have been shopping around for some 205-40-17's. Have seen lots and lots of posts regarding Toyo's and F1's but not heard much about the above, they don't sound too bad to me. I'm not one to budget on tyres normally but am proper strapped at the moment and...

Saw 1 yesterday just going onto the mad mile, you were behind me but ended up in front of me as I was being directed incorrectly!! Had the girtlfriend and her mum in the car so couldn't have a dabble, sod's law. Then again this morning about 10ish, on my way to the gym (again with the mrs)...

Evening All, Got a MK2 172 that has developed a knocky/clicky noise when driving. Had a fiddle and it does it when you gently move the top of the wheel backwards and forwards (no idea why I would do this while driving but it makes the noise all the same). I'm guessing it just needs a tighten...

Hi, Does anyone know what the factory fit sat nav model is in Clio's. I know it's a carminat/VDO Dayton, but what one, MS5000? I'm trying to find out what sort of connection the antenna has, SMB or MCX (double dutch to me!!) Cheers.

How do you do it and is it a pain in the @rse?? Cheers!

Hi, Not getting a signal. Does anyone know where the aerial is for the factory Sat Nav, is it the same as my radio, the radio works fine? Any tips on replacing the antenna?? Thanks!!!

What is the code to access the system, I thought it may have been my radio code but it's not working? I need to find out what signal I'm receiving, how do I find this code out? Thanks!!

Hi, Got a knocking noise on my 172 and think it may be the gearbox mount, I've done the Dog Bone and it's not helped. How hard is it to do the gearbox mount as I've had all the others checked and been told they're fine? A brief run through of how to do it would be brilliant!!!! Thanks...

Hi, This old chestnut again. Need a 36k service. Have been phoning around the Renault garages and it's looking at about 500 quid including the belt. R Sport in Wimbledon wanted 200 for the service, 200 for the belt and another 100 "if the bearings were cracked" or something like that...

Anyone had any dealing with them? You get a full years guaruntee aor 12K? I've been phoning around renault dealers for quotes and they all say different things. I'm after a 36K and it's looking at about 500 quid at Renault or 300 at the Unipart place??
