Hey guys.. Just wondered if anyone has had the same problem / no the fix. When pushing the ESP button on my 04 172, It dosent bring the light on to say its been disengaged. Plus, when the wheels start to slip (not pushing any buttons before hand), the light dosent flash or really limit the...

Cheers guys.. Much appreciated! I figured 5L would be fine for now.. Ill buy 1L next month so i can keep an eye on the levels :) SJ

Hey all.. Cars having an oil change tomorrow and wanted to no if i can get away with a 5L tub (Motul 5W40) as people say it takes 5.1L? Or will i have to buy an extra 1L? Many thanks SJ

So whats everyones views on 0W40? I bought some 0W40 Castrol Edge (as the 5w40 edge was recommended for turbo diesels) from halfords @ 20% off. Only downside was i had to buy 2 tubs as they come in 4L... Will i be ok using the 0W40?? SJ

Dont suppose anyone has the part number?? Or any photos of said cold air feed?? Many thanks

Hey all! I recently fit a new panel filter and noticed there's a oval shaped hole to the bottom right of the air box.. Should there be a dedicated pipe to feed the box, or does it just draw air from the bay?? Many thanks

Hey guys..Merry Christmas!! Just a quick one.. After breaking my rev counter mechanism in my original clocks, i picked up some new clocks cheap on ebay (perfect working order etc) Their from a 172 cup.. I noticed that after i fit them, when my cars warm, i cant get it to the redline. I can...

Hey all!! My ESP is not working and seen on eBay a Clio 172 ESP ECU control module for £35.. Worth buying to see if it solves the problem?? SJ

Hey guys! After fixing my radio from an aftermarket harness, i came to use my hazard lights yesterday to thank someone and turns out it dosent work.. The switch and the wires are there but has some electrical tape around the bottom of the wires where it splits off from the radio.. Anyone...

Hey all.. Anyone have the part number of a 172 cup front splitter? Also how much are they? I'm guessing these just screw on and can be retrofitted? Many thanks SJ

Hey all.. Should a 172 make a slight whining noise?.. Sounds normal and nothing to worry about so am I just being paranoid? SJ

Nope, just another Magic Johnson :) lol

Hey all!! So after investigating my ESP problem, I ended up taking the dash top off (on the plus side I fixed my radio stalk :)) I removed the clocks and started fiddling.. Unfortunately I broke one of the needle mechanisms and now my rev counter doesn't work :( So my question is...

Ok guys so my traction controll has started working in the snow.. But the lights still doesn't come on when switched off.. Can I just change the one bulb? Is it a 'dash top off' to get the clocks out? Cheers

Cheers guys! Does anyone have a pic of the plug, plugged into the unit / which slot in the unit it plugs into?? Many thanks!! SJ

Hey all.. Unfortunately when i bought my Clio 172 the steering wheel radio controls weren't working... Can anyone tell me where the controller plugs into? Does it have an actual plug that plugs into the headunit? Ive taken apart the streeing column and unplugged the remote control unit and...

I miss my Z3M Roadster :( Cracking looking car mate! Ps new throttle cable and earls clutch hose works a treat ;)

It won't let me view the thread :(

Right guys, a few updates.. The radio now works properly (it had an aftermarket system in before and still had a secondary harness attached so just removed it :) so holds the code etc..) It's been on a friends Snap On diagnostic machine and came up with no faults... Which is good but...

'' check the fuses mate, there are 2 for the radio, one permanent live and the other for ignition live. '' Im guessing they're located next to the steering wheel in the dash? Or are they underbonnet?

Unfortunately not mate.. Im based in West Yorkshire..

Cant remember the name of the place (it was an independant garage) they were done at 27k (4 years old in 2008) I have no reciepts to prove it though.. Might be worth me giving them a ring to find out if they have any.. Other than that the cars mint! It has by far the cleanest bodywork /...

Exactly my thought... i couldnt find a decent enough 182 for that price with less than 60k on..

I thought it was an ok price.. 12months MOT, 6 months tax, new tyres, 3 months warranty etc.. Just need to sort these little niggles out! I dont think the ESP will be covered under the warranty :(

Because its an '04'? I thought that also.. Its 100% a 172 :)

Hey guys.. Just bought the misses a black 04 172 and honestly i love driving it.. Ive owned some pretty quick cars but this is by far one of the most fun!! Anyway, i have a few problems that im sure some of you aficianados can help with.... Firslty, my radio wont hold its code.. I have to...
