That's my other option. Buy a second hand 129 gearbox and get the Renfort plate fitted to it whilst its off the car.

So I have managed to confirm so far that it is a JC5 129 gearbox that has a speedo drive. Can I get a 129 with speedo drive that has the 182 'bolt in' driveshaft coupling? If not will a 130 go in and be able to connect to the speedo?

Also how do I know if I need speedo drive or non speedo drive?

It doesn't have the button to the right if the steering wheel so I'm guessing not.

Good question. I don't think it does.

After some help if possible. Have a 2002 Clio 172 which I have had the problems with the driveshaft circlip into the gearbox. This was welded in to avoid future issues. The other day I lost all drive and garage have informed me that gearbox and clutch are knackered. I am reluctant to put...

My I my concern with that is that I need to get my car back on the road and that will take a while to arrive. Is is it possible to drill holes in the existing clip and bolt that in?

Thanks. Have you done this? If so is it a job that can be done with the gearbox still in place? I would prefer to avoid having to remove the box if possible.

The circlip on my nearside driveshaft where it joins the gearbox has decided to slip out again causing the problem of no drive. I replaced the parts with new Renault items when it did it a couple of months back. I am looking for a definitive solution for this now and if what I have read is...

Thanks. Going to give this a try once I get time later in the week. I'll update with how I get on.

Good suggestion. I shall all give that a try. I had all the tracking etc done recently too as I thought that may cure it. Is is it the mount on the top left side as I look at the engine from the front of the car?

My Phase 2 172 has a knocking noise when turning left past 45 degree angle. Since getting the car back on the road in January, as part of replacing worn parts I have changed the following with genuine Renault parts: Cup shocks all round Top mounts Cooksport springs all round Front wishbones...

I have managed to get the tracking sorted out (I think). Took it to a locally recommended price who managed to sort it. They also identified that a broken bolt in the left brake calliper carrier was causing the shocking braking performance.

Thanks for all the replies. Blink may be a bit too far from me in Blackpool however I want it doing right first time. Sick of the steering wheel hanging left.

Can anyone recommend a decent garage who can set up my geometry / alignment / tracking etc? I now have a nice new re trimmed Snappy wheel and would like it sitting straight as it currently hangs to the left. I am in Blackpool but any suggestions here or Lancashire will do. Thanks

Just done my 172 non cup today. Replaced the following: OEM Cup Shocks all round Cooksport springs New top mounts on front Pair of front wishbones Approximately £450 for that little lot (including postage)

Forgot to add. When the noise does start it lasts for about 3-4 seconds and then goes off.

I have a 2002 phase 2 1*2 and it has recently developed an intermittent clicking noise. The noise is every now and again when I start the car. No idea what it is but it sounds as though it is coming from behind the stereo/climate control unit, possibly from the driver's side. Anybody any ideas...

I am in the process of removing my steering wheel ready for a retrim. Could somebody tell me if I can reconnect the battery whilst the airbag and steering wheel are removed in order for me to lock the car up? I don't want any warning lights or problems coming on if the car recognises the...

Good to know. That's the plan now then. Cheers

I am looking at freshening the suspension up on the 172 I have just bought. It is a phase 2 and I have some Cooksport springs on the way. I don't really fancy coilovers, due to budget and I think it may be a bit overkill for just road use and what I will be using it for. I was wondering if I...

Thankyou very much

So I am returning to a Renault Clio 8 years after selling my 2003 1.2 Extreme back in 2005. I have just become a fully paid member after initially joining in 2003 whilst I still I had my MK1 1.4 RT. Anyway after a MKIV Supra, MKIV R32 Golf and my current car a E92 BMW 335d I now have a black...

So having recently purchased a 2002 172 the previous owner highlighted an issue regarding the boot solenoid. It had locked in position apparently the day before I went to see the car and he managed to get it unlocked although now the boot is always unlocked. I believe this is a fairly common...

Just picked it up now after some negotiating. Have to say what a laugh to drive. Going from a high powered rear wheel drive automatic to a 172 is like driving a go kart. Big smile on my face now.

Hi everyone, Revisiting the site as I am thinking of coming back to the Clio fold after selling my 1.2 Mk2 Phase 2 Extreme back in 2005. After flirting with a MKIV Supra, R32 Golf (MKIV) and my current car a BMW 335d E92 I am looking at a run around whilst I save up some money for another car...

They really are ugly motors. They also ride very high, probably so they can get over the potholes in countries where the cars are sold.

Just come back from Turkey and everywhere I turned was one of Phase 1 and Phase 2 models. Didnt even know that Renault made them. Anyone ever seen one before? http://www.renault.com/gb/produits/clio_symbol.htmClick

^^^^^^^ What screen do you have in the dash Has?

^^^^^^^^^ Ah. That would explain it then. Very nice colour. Anybody know which manufacturer that paint is originally from then? Cheers
