The headlights on my 172 have been looking a bit worse for wear for a while. I recently polished them up with some fine wet and dry and they are shed loads better than they were. There are still marks/discolouration on the clear plastic, on the inside where I can't get at them to polish them up...

Hi, I need to get the N/S rear quarter panel re-sprayed on my 172 (and front bumper if the price is right). Can anyone recommend a bodyshop in the South West that will do a neat job, I am a perfectionist!

I need to get the cambelt and aux belt done, are there any specialists near Plymouth? Would K-TEC Racing be the closest or does anyone know of somewhere closer to where I live?

Is this the part I need to fix the knocking suspension top mounts on my 172? http://www.eurocarparts.com/ecp/c/Renault_Clio_2.0_2002/p/car-parts/suspension-and-steering/suspension/suspension-bushes/?609745090&1&628cd127b0681419f74463c1c52924c02f2ee8ce&FLXM

The plastic corner trims on the top, outside of the windscreen don't sit very neatly, one is sticking up quite a bit. Tried to stick it down with silicone but it only lasted a few days. Anyone else had the same problem, what did you stick it down with?

Got a noise coming from under the bonnet when manoeuvring or steering on a hard lock and pulling away. More of a clunk than a knock. Thinking either an engine mount or I did read the suspension top mounts do this? Clio 172 PH2.

Is it necessary to replace the inlet manifold gaskets when changing sparkplugs on a PH2 172?

Girl driving a red non sport PH1 with twin exit zaust and alloys, about 6pm today. Fair play to you for having a tussle with my 172!

Silver 172 with anthracite rims, going up the hill from Marsh Mills with a black 172 (me!)

Spotted you at about 17:10 today overtaking me on the A38 near Lee Mill. You had a KTEC sticker in the back window. Car looked cleaner than mine! (must wash mine this weekend...)

Blue 182 Cup going up the hill outside Volksfest in Plymouth, about 14:00 this afternoon.

Just spotted in Plymouth...

Can anyone recommend a good company they have used or have experience of? Based in South Devon or mobile, I can travel a reasonable distance.

I used to be a mechanic years ago so never usually let anyone else work on my car, if I do it I know its right. When it comes to MOT no choice but to entrust it to a garage. So I booked it in, took it down, waited and drove home. Unfortunately it failed on a couple of minor point (bits ordered...

Spent some time tinkering with the Clio today. I have had one headlight bulb not working for a few weeks, got a pair of Philips HID bulbs on the net for £84 delivered. As I also wanted to change one of the headlight washer jets that has an intermittent leak I went with taking the bumper off...

Made the most of the lovely sunny afternoon outside giving the Clio a proper good clean. Wash, wax, hoover, touched up a few stone chips, conditioned the leather, glossed the tyres, put some cliosport forum stickers in and got rid of the 'Elf' sticker from the back window.Took a few pics on the...

Got a set of 4 new Toyo Proxes T1-Rs fitted yesterday (195/45/16). First impressions are much less road noise that the previous mix that came with the car (Avons on the front, Continental Sports on the back). The car feels like it has much less rolling resistance, it glides along nicely. The...

So the heated rear screen on my 172 is still playing silly buggers. I bought a new switch but it didn't solve the problem where the heated rear screen comes on when I start the engine and wont turn on or off from the switch. Next thing I want to do is replace the relay/s. Went to the Ren'...

Driving in adjacent lanes from the mall down to Laira Bridge yesterday about 7pm.

What sort of RPM range do you find you get the most performance from your Clio? If you were racing on track when would you change gear?

Just noticed the drivers side headlight on my 172 is not working. Seems to be a minefield of Xenon bulb choice out there, not sure what to buy and from where! Did read a few other threads, so I know it's a bumper off job. Any advice on bulb choice, what are the standard ones?

I have this issue with my heated rear screen. When I start the engine the orange light on the dash comes on. It stays on until the 15 minute time-out is reached. Once it goes off I can't switch it back on with the switch on the dash. When it does go off I can hear the relay clicking. I have...

Sup, thought it would be good to come and introduce myself. I bought my first Clio 12 days ago. I am now the proud owner of a seriously tidy 52 plate Clio 172. really enjoying it so far. It is completely unmodified, although I have plans to make a few changes over time. I have a few minor...
