    Went to KwikFit today, and was told a new cat converter would be £609. When I mentioned welding it, they said it couldn't be done, because it is some sort of alloy, and a welder would just blow holes in it. Are they telling porkies? The weld into the cat is splitting. Would have...

    Bonnet wont open

    The pull is OK, but it isn't releasing the bonnet. I am guessing I will need to go in from the front. Is it best to cut the grille on the left or right side, to get the bonnet open? Any hints?

    Sump gasket affect gear change

    Herds in Basingstoke said I needed a new sump gasket. (Hope that is not just the sump drain washer....) Anyway. I am now finding gear change is not quite so definite. Sometimes I wont be able to find the gear, and sometimes I will think it is in, and it turns out to still be in neutral...

    Headlight washers...Alternatives

    Anyone know of any alternatives to the crap 172 headlamp washers? 1 - The Balls fall out. 2 - They are UGLY! 3 - Keep catching them on clothing. Is there a more sensible or better looking alternative (without removing them) ? Have they come up with anything better for the 182?

    Does my 172 import have an alarm

    I have a 172 import that originally came from "trade-sales". I have read other posts that mention when they arrive and go to the show room they are fitted with locking wheel nuts, and an alarm. As it came from Trade Sales, will it have an alarm?

    172 car seat covers

    I like my 172 L&A car seats, and want to protect them from oil, chilkdren with sticky sweets, and general wear and tear. If I stick ordinary car seat covers on them, then the side airbags wont work. I read in the user manual (yes I RTFM) which said to ask my local renault dealer. They said...

    N2o kits

    I see some peoples signatures mention NOS. What kits have you got, and how are they activated? Is there a problem with the 172 as it has an electronic accellerator? Cheers.

    Does anyone have a wiring diagram for the accelerator on a Clio 172 Mk2? I want to see if I can get around needing an external WOT (Wide Open Throttle/NOS type) switch. The 6 wire that are there are difficult to diagnose (for me anyway), and there doesnt seem to be a Haynes manual for a...
