I tried to look into the Renault spare parts online catalogue, and could not find any of the dampers listed. Could someone please post the first eight letters/numbers of their Trophy VIN code, so that we can use that to enter the car type into the catalogue? This would then enable us to search...

Nice one Rain! Your good work is being recognised internationally now! Rgds, Wurlie

Dear all, I would like to replace my front pads with Ferodo DS2000 or DS2500. The importer here where I live cannot find the ones that fit my MK1 172. Can those who have them installed please let me know what the parts numbers were? Thanks a lot! Wurlie

Hi! No, definitely not the 4k rpm rattle - I have dealt with that by removing the centre section of the exhaust and fitting a straight pipe. The cats are ok for sure. As I said, when the Supersprint system is fitted, I will see if there is any change to how it runs on idle. The cams change...

Hi, it was there from the start, but now seems more prominent. Just heard back from the dealer, of course they now say that they all do that. The other 172 they had in the garage had a clogged up cat, which they have fixed and now say that it idled in the same way. I am not particularly...

Hi, the fronts were 180 EUR, the rears were 150EUR per pair. I have no idea about other springs, as I am very happy with the OEM items, and did not want to spoil the handling balance. I am not really bothered by how the car looks, most interested in performance, thats why the original 15"...

Dear Simon, Matt, thanks for your replies. It seems tha there is another 172 of the same vintagge in the garage I go to. The service manager does not seem to be able to find a fix. First they said that one of the injectors was clogged, so they changed all four and charged me for that only for...

Dear all, thanks for your advice. It seems that the Koni importer in my country will replace the rear pair. I will let you know how I get on with the new pair. Best, Wurlie

Dear all, I have purchased a set of adjustable Koni sport shocks for my Mk1 172. The fronts work brilliantly, and the adjustability of all 4 corners has really made the car enjoyable. The rear pair has developed squeaks at the tops of the rear strut towers, especially when there is a...

Dear all, I have done 30k miles on my Mk1 172, and it has developed an intermittent stutter at idle, as well as a slight decrease in performance. It seems as if every so often one of the cylinders misfires. Any ideas as to what this might be? Thanks very much! Wurlie
