I have a pattern exhaust centre section on the car, and recently fitted a Renault backbox as the pattern part hung too low & bashed the subframe. But - the two pipes are the same diameter, so we had to use a sleeve tube (about 8") over them both & a couple of clamps to hold it in place. Now...

I've lost the bolts that hold on the undertray, can anyone tell me what size they should be so I can replace them?

I've recently installed a pair of Hertz Dieci DSK 165 component speakers in the standard speaker locations. Had to cut the door card back around the speaker & use MDF baffles to get the woofers to fit in there, but the baffles are securely held on the doorcard, and the speakers to them in turn...

They're the correct NGK ones, and have done ~12k miles. The car has recently started to be unreliable starting, whether cold or warm. Have ordered a coil pack to but wasn't sure about these and there is no oil contamination in there. All four look like this;

I'm selling a '02 172 Xenon headlight ignitor/starter - and have been asked about part number compatibility Mine says 021661 (5DD 008 319) on it, but someone wants to replace theirs which is apparently 031661 (from an '04 model). Anybody know the difference?

Found a broken adjustment clip inside the driver's side headlamp, the reflector is loose & moving around and the beam pattern is low. Does anyone know if they can be bought separately or successfully repaired? I was thinking araldite, or some repair putty. Only problem using the putty might be...

Was changing my side-light bulb (172 with factory xenons) and noticed the reflector in the offside light casing is loose. Not sure if I nudged, or unclipped, something while I was changing the bulb but it can definitely be moved around by hand now but it doesn't move so far as to foul the bulbs...

Just tried using the forum's gamertag feature to add a few people to my Xbox Live friends list, but it's not working - the xbox website comes up with an error like i've tried navigating to the wrong page. Any chance of a fix for this? If anyone wants to add me for a laugh, i'm only really...

Have been using a bluetooth ELM 327 OBD2 reader, and Torque android software on my phone to check for fault codes. No codes are reported, but... I noticed that the maximum "Throttle Position" value it reports is approx. 75%, regardless of engine temperature - even with pedal fully depressed and...

I've got a 2002 172 and tThe bearings on the PSA pump have gone, are these all the same for 172/182s with air-con? Do Cup models use a different one? Am going to source an ebay one as prices for refurbished ones are coming in at ~£180. :(

Have got a 2002 172, just had the tracking checked & adjusted at my usual tyre place. They changed the toe-angle, and the car is much more neutral now, was a bit lively up front before. The photo shows the results (based on V6 clio settings, only just realised this - are they similar?) What...

Are there any pattern-part exhaust brands that have proved better than others? My cheap one from the local factors is falling apart, the outer material is basically shearing off at the hanger - I suspect they all have a tendency to do this? It's only been fitted for a couple of months, and...

Not long after I got my 172, I removed the wipers recently to fix a leaking washer bottle, but i'm not sure I put the wipers back on in the right place as I didn't mark the spindles before removing. I've noticed they don't sweep a small area of the windscreen at the base of their arc in the...

I fitted a Parrot MKi9200 bluetooth device to the stereo recently, and noticed that the clock & temp. displays are dimmer. Really can't be bothered to put in dedicated power wiring, just wondering if this happened to anyone else?

My fiance has bought this phase 2 172 from the South West, think it's lived down here for a while, originally from the North West. Has already got a cliosport.net sticker so wondering if anyone on here knows it or anything about the prev. owners? It seems in reasonable condition anyway, just a...

I'm looking to buy a 172 soon, but haven't been able to find much about general running costs. Can anyone offer a bit of advice/thoughts on the matter? All I know is that fuel economy is pretty good. Hoping they're cheaper than the other fast hot-hatch cars I've run in the past (Peugeot 205...
