Comes down to what you want really.
I say 172 Mk1 all the way - I think its a rawer car than the mk2. mk2 introduced some nice refinments/comforts but was toned down a little (Cup excluded) I.M.O.
I know the cup is quick but then you trade some comforts off. Pound for pound I think a well...
I just rang a second dealer who said that both belts were longlife belts and not due until 70K/5 years - wondering if this is confusion between the standard clio and the 172.
Gonna try and ring renault now ....
Am dropping my Mk1 172 in for a 40k (41k actually) service tomorrow morning. Im pretty sure that only the standard service tasks are required but the dealer informs me that the acessory and timing belts are due around 45-50K. I had read somewhere previously that the accessory belt is recommended...
Also - has anyone got their hands on the new HCB-300 unit?

Hi,
I want to purchase the Sony Ericssion HCB-30 (or the HCB-300) to fit it to my Mk1 172 but first want to check that someone else has successfully integrated it to the standard stereo...
There a special kit (HCE-16) for enabling stereo-mute and use of the car speaker system.
Has anyone...
Was looking at these on the TG DVD the other evening. Has anyone fitted the same wheel to the 172 mk1? What make is it and what size can the 172 accomodate? They look great!
Car was serviced at 23K when I bought it - I wouldn;t have been happy leaving it another 10+ before servicing - expecially oil - hence the service.
Jay - The garage here informed me the timing belt was due at 36K - does that make sense? Its a 2001 mk1. Should I defer to after 40K at least...
I just picked up my Mk1 172 from its 30K service. Got new front discs and pads (eek) and the usual filters/fluids. Unfrotunately Ive been told the car has a few fluid leaks - I bought it at 23K 8 months back. Apparently the left-rear shock is leaking a little and the PAS pump quite a lot -...
Hi,
Id appreciate any advice people have as to the best cleaning products (and approach) for buffing up my 172 - interior (leather etc.) and exterior (best polishes etc).
Cheers,
