The right half of my display has lost its illumination. Is there any way of replacing the bulb without removing the complete dashboard & trim? It's a 172 Mk1. Cheers

Do new Greenstuff pads need bedding in gently of a few good applications?

Hi. What exactly do I have to remove and undo to replace the battery? Cheers, Darren

Under hard braking my 172 has started pulling to the left quite noticably which is quite disconcerting when scrubbing off speed. When I had it MOT'd they did say the front brake balance was out slightly but it has got noticably worse since then. What is it likely to be the cause? Cheers...

When I leave my Clio overnight my trip computer is resetting. The starter motor also doesn't seem to turn over with its usual gusto. Is this an indication that the battery is on its way out or could it be something else? Cheers, Darren

When I reverse with a bit of lock on, I have started getting a knocking sound from the near side front wheel and can feel some resistance. When I had the car MOTed last month, it passed no problem but they said that the brake balance on the front was a bit off and I might have a sticking...

Does a Pro-Speed hidden exhaust (cat back) need to be declared as a modification? Cheers, Darren

The finish on mine is coming off and I am thinking of replacing them. Is it a fiddly job and does anyone know how much they cost? Cheers, Darren

Took my Clio 172 there for a service this week, and just to see what all the fuss is about ;) GDI certainly lives up to its reputation. They have a great set up there and Andy went over my car with great attention to detail. When funds allow I will certainly be going back for the headwork/SMT6...

Hi. Anyone got a spare one or know where I can get one for a 2000 X Clio 172? I believe they are the same for all Mk2 phase 1 Clio models. Renault want £30 plus for one :o Cheers, Darren

Hi. Anyone know who the designated rep is? I am in Birmingham & just got an email back from Demon Tweaks after inquiring on the price of a spring kit saying that it has to go through the designated ClioSport rep :confused: Cheers, Darren

Gonna get a Group N ecu for my 172 mk1 & was wondering if I can fit it myself. How easy is it & does anyone have a guide for doing this? Cheers, Darren

Anyone know how much these cost for the standard Oz wheels on a 172 mk1?? Cheers, Darren

This is the advice I have been given by Vredestein to increase the sidewall stiffness of my Sport Trac 2 tyres to improve stability. 2.3 front & 2.5 back. What do you reckon? Darren

I have just replaced the Dunlop Sports with Vredestein Sportrac 2 195/50 R15 tyres. Grip has improved immensely but I have noticed that the car wobbles on its axis coming out of bends or when you lift off the throttle. The back end moves from side to side before settling. I reckon the...

I have just replaced the Dunlop Sports with Vredestein Sportrac 2 195/50 R15 tyres. Grip has improved immensely but I have noticed that the car wobbles on its axis coming out of bends. The back end moves from side to side before settling. I reckon the Vredesteins have a softer side wall which...

Today I got back my RenaultSport Clio 172 mk1 from the garage. 3yrs old & 20k trouble free miles on the clock & it was in for a minor service. They discovered the alternator belt has started coming adrift & had damaged the cambelt http://www.scoobynet.co.uk/bbs/images/smilies/frown.gif Service...

Could someone please please post a picture up of the correct way to fit the anti-rattle springs to the rear callipers on a RenaultSport Clio 172. Cheers, Darren

Need some new ones for my 172. Anyone got any recommendations? Anyone tried the new PIAA silicon ones or should I stick with the Renault ones? Darren

Hi. My car is in for a service & they have just phoned to say that my Power Steering Pump is knackered. I havent noticed a problem with it. They say it needs to be replaced along with the accessory belt. Parts are £190 but with labour it comes to £500 :cry: Is there anywhere else apart from...

Took my 172 mk1 in to Renault to book it in for a minor sevice (done less than 24k) but service said that as the car is over 3yrs old now, then it should have a major service instead, & a blah blah belt changed (dont think it is actually called that ;) ). So my budget for a £175 service has now...

I am gonna get myself a new exhaust and am pondering replacing my standard panel filter while I am at it. I am not interested in induction kits. I have searched this forum on the subject & get varied responses. Some say there is no difference except maybe noise. Some say better midrange & top...

Hi. I have just fitted some ktec kevlar pads to the front brakes on my 172 mk1 & was gonna replace the rear ones as well when I noticed that the rear pads had only worn on one end of the pad & not evenly accross the whole face. Are my rear callipers/pistons knackered or can they be adjusted...

I will be replacing my brake pads shortly with some K-Tec kevlar pads. I will also use some decent brake fluid. Is it worth the money upgrading the brake lines? I dont go on track, just fast road use.

My 172 will require a service soon at 24000 miles. What is the going rate & what is done as part of this service? Ta very much, Darren

Has anyone fitted these to a 172 yet? I was gonna go for the Pro kit but like the look of the Sportlines. According to the K-tec site, they handle similar to the Pro kit but with a bigger drop. I would like the bigger drop but dont want to ruin the ride.

My pads need replacing front & rear on my Clio Sport 172 mk1. Any advice on alternatives to the standard ones? I want better stopping power with as little dust & squealing as possible for a decent price. The K-TEC KEVLAR PADS seem to fit the bill. What do you reckon?? Darren

I am gonna replace the fluid & Brake lines on my Clio 172 with some Goodridge braided lines & some dot 5.1. How much fluid do I need to replace my whole system?
