1st off apologies I dont have any photos at present so will just try to explain. Started to get a knocking sound from the rear of the car on speed bumps etc. Now checked and it seems the rear exhaust mount has snapped. I've only had a quick look so not been able to get properly under the car...

Just had the bulbs changed on the 172 and now they don't automatically turn on. Work fine by manually turning them on. I'll be speaking with the garage tomorrow but just thinking could it be something they haven't attached when they change the bulb?? Any ideas?

Just recently the drivers side xenon has changed colour (to a blue instead of the white before) and started flickering on start up, sometimes going off. If I switch the lights to side lights then back to dipped or auto it will usually flicker and then stay on. I'm not sure if its the bulb...

Just scraped my carbon fibre splitter on something trying to park at my dads and its fooked a small part. Pulled a small section up and now need to figure out the best way to repair it. Any ideas peeps??

Had the rad changed on my 172 last week and now the idle has got a bit pete tong. When cold it can rev at 2000rpm and then drops to settle at 1100rpm. Even when the engine has warmed up it will sometimes bounce between the 2 levels. Other than that the car is running fine and starting OK.

Can someone confirm if this is the correct part number for the Rad on a 52 plate 172 7700.836.303 If not does anybody have the part number as need to order one...

The rads got a leak so need to get a new one. Anybody got any hints on where's best to get one from for a 52 plate 172? Ta.

I'm after a heater resistor for my 172. My mates had one on order for over a week but they've not delivered yet and its p*ssing me off so looking to see if anybody else could supply in a quicker time.

Are there any other ways to lock the boot other than the key fob??? Can it be done by the key?? Sorry if this is a real stupid question.

This is going back a while but saw a post on here some time ago about a guy that people recommended for fitting Toad Alarms. Cant seem to find the thread so does anybody have any contact info as mine is pretty much fooked so need to get something sorted ASAP. Cheers my dears. Matt

Right as it seems no one has an answer to my alarm problem and the instruction manual is about as much use as rob green in goal vs the USA can anyone recommend good quality alarm fitters around wolverhampton.

Right I've checked through using the search option but most of the threads are about alarms that go off etc. My issue is that the alarm is no longer going off!!! I can lock the car with the fob and the lights flash 2 times but there are no beeps which it had before. When I unlock the car the...

Right it seems my powerflow exhaust is on the way out. Its a stealth system. I want to ideally keep a stealth system on the car but which one is best and also would I be better off going to anothe rsystem to get better gains? I'm pretty open on this but just want to know what would give the...

Not sure what the hell this is, noticed it last night just as I was pulling up on the drive and then this morning as I was driving to work. Its a sort of clunk or dud dud dud I think every time the wheel turns. I think its the rear drivers side so had a quick check to make sure the wheel nuts...

I bought a pioneer head unit (DEH-P7000UB) off one of the guys on here and I'm trying to get it fitted but at present cant find a lead to allow me to keep the CD Changer hooked up. Any ideas on who would sell one?

Can I change the springs from my Vmaxx coilovers to a stiffer spring if I wanted and which would people recommend? Not interested in going really low but handling of the car. Ta.

Just a few shots after cleaning the car this afternoon. Comments welcome, know the back needs to go down just a touch but cant do the front as wont be able to get over speedhumps!!! ;)

I've just had the aircon regassed as it wasnt that cold. This has improved things but still it doesnt get as cold as think it should. In other cars when its on the lowest temp its freezing so to speak but at the moment its just cold (hope that makes sense) Is there anything else I need to...

Right after my complete and utter fail for the making the last meet due to familiy reasons :( I'm going to try again. :D Had a word with a few people and it seems there is some interest in another meet prior to the FCS. Location and Date wise I'm open to suggestions. Its seems Himley Hall...

Just to set the tone the car is running on coilovers and turinis (16's) off a cup so a wider offset. I've not lowered the car excessivley. Will front and rear strut braces improve handling at all? Have seen some OMP Anthricte ones for about £115 for the set (front and rear) Cheers.

Would Turini Speedlines off a cup fit ok on a ph2 172? I'm thinking they should. They are standard Ren fitment.

Will these fit a ph2 172? Tyre Width:205Aspect Ratio:50Offset:20Number of Studs:4Stud Diameter:108Rim Structure:One PieceRim Diameter:16 inches

Right I'm chopping the standard clio 172 alloys in but not sure what to do about new ones. I'm not bothered about bling etc just want to make sure I can have the best handling I can get. If I put 17's on do people think this will affect the handling and should I stay with 16's?

Having just recently got my 172 it needs a service. Now I knew this would be the case when I got the car but want to check what if anything special needs to be done. It's a 52 plate. Don't mind having to spend money but should I get the cam belt done or any other things that are known areas on...

Ok so after a few spots of people round wolves a few of us thought about getting a meet sorted. No specific date yet but looking at either the barley mow or miller and carter in Penn. Can people let me know if interested and the best dates and I'll look to coordinate. If people want to help...

Looking at some team dynamics alloys off fleabay. Rim width 7j 16 inch 4 stud stud diameter 114 looking to go on a phase 2 172 (52 plate)

Seems to be a bit of dicussion about which alloys are the best/lightest. I'm looking to change my 16's for something lighter. The tunis seems to get good reviews and also some oz alloys, should there be any others that I look at. Ideally want to get them in anthraite or black to match...

Just thought I'd chart my renault story and explain how I ended up with the Black Bean. I started my love affair with Renaults last year, I'd had 205 GTi's etc in my younger days but then when I had company cars it was all a little more sensible. That changed last year when moving jobs and...

Ok apologies if this is in the wrong area, I'm thinking of changing form 15's to 16's on the car. At present its got the standard 172 alloys but they have been sprayed a black/green colour to suit the car (its black) and also have yellow diamonds. Condition wise they have some kerbing with the...

Ok i know there is the sticky at the top and yes I've read through it but I'm thinking of getting these fitted and wanted to see how people rate them now and if they're worth fitting or if there has been any further issues. Also how harsh is the ride with them fitted?
