Gggrrrrhhhhh...... This car is testing my patients! After fitting the new injector parts i drove the car on Saturday and it was great, very responsive, loads of power - a really, really nice drive. My brother took it to his work yesterday and it drove fine. Went to take it for it's MOT today...

Oooops.... Sorry that wasn't my intention. I'll understand if the mods decide to delete the post. TBH i hadn't realised that you couldn't just put an advert in the classifieds section of this forum without paying some fee's.... Having just just checked though, i see what you mean.

Do you guys think that i have priced this fairly? I understand that these cars are worth the least amount of money if advertised on this forum ;) So i put her on PH - I think i'm not being unreasonable with the asking price...

Thanks chaps - Purchased a new fuel rail and injectors from RenParts and it sorted it out (it was the fuel injector itself on Cylinder 3)

Went to give the car a bit of a run today as its been standing around in all this wet weather for 2 weeks and is due an MOT tomorrow.... It started fine, then about 5ins into the drive it developed a big misfire... My basic fault code reader says: P0203 injector circuit open cylinder 3 P0443...

The car will be sold with the wheel and the ducts..... Even if i were keeping her, i wouldn't have the time or inclination to source the original parts and change them over. And i think thy suite the cars 'cup' character.

£1500.... Depending on the MOT I'll either make a little, break even or keep the car....

My brother found the time to give the car a clean today..... Its come up really nice, hopefully the MOT will be drama free and i can get her up for sale....

Good Find!!! sounds like the same car.

Ok, went down and bought the car - me and my brother just chipped in half each (decided we will sell on).... My fault code reader showed one error code only, which was P0443 (Evaporative Emissions System (EVAP)?? Anyway - cleared the code and re started, ran the car and it has not returned...

Well, i am going to have a look at the car tomorrow - I'm lucky enough to be able to get the keys and drive it, before i commit. I have a 'basic' OBD2 scanner - like this one...

Hi, my brother just called me to ask is i am interested in a car they have just taken in PX (he works for an Audi main dealer). Its a 52 plate Blue Sport 172 'cup' A couple of months MOT remaining - no advisories on last MOT (as far as i know) Tax till end April 104K but with lots and lots of...

As a new owner, I'm scratching my head as how to get the auto wipers to work? What position do I need to leave the stalk in? it maybe that I have a problem as I tried most/all positions and nothing seems to happen automatically (normal wiper speeds work, but I can't seem to get intermittent...

I don't think you'll find selecting 3rd and 4th gear at 2000rpm as red lining the car. But i'll use 2500 and maybe upto 3000rpm whilst i'm running the car upto temp and there is a totaly noticable, hesitation in the cars ability to rev/drive smoothly at 2000-2300rpm when cold. I would say it...

my car feels nice in a strait line, push hard, or more to the point 'lift off' when attacking a bendy road, and the back of the car is very mobile indeed.... Its one of the things that made me take a real shine to it :race:

Hi, before i joined this forum i noticed a few posts on Pistonheads where RS172 owners mentioned that their cars ran terribly when cold..... I wouldnt say mine runs terribly, but there is a big flat spot at 2000/2300rpm when the engine is cold, more noticable in 3rd and 4th gear..... Is this...

Thanks for the advice Spainsh/Stephen.... My car is at factory ride height as far as i know. If i were to ever lower it, it would not be by much..... but fitting 205's sounds like a plan to me when its time to replace the tyres.

Thanks chaps...... its as clear as day now. hadn't noticed it before!

Not far away at all Timus...... Don't suppose you live in a cul-de-sac and drive a Black 172 do you? I only ask as I saw one for sale on PH and recognised the location as i used to live literally around the corner. HeadK7, maybe I am being a little dumb, but what’s up with the plates?

I can understand how the exhaust on show can divide opinion. I think if it were a single pipe then i would prefer it to be hidden, but i'll admit to quite liking the twin pipes, although as the previous owner modified the rear bumper, they would be staying even if i wasnt to keen on them...

Thanks everyone, re the pics.... they were only taken with my phone. I'll see if the blue shows more when i take some pics with my camera. When/if i get the time, i'm going to give the car a going over with a clay bar, treat her with a couple of coats of SRP then apply a sealant. DCI RAZ: My...

Thanks Neil..... If they are the correct spec (which i guess is easy to find out) then the 'Renault 16mm 4 Stud 4X100 60.1 C/B - Each' option looks good, and for £68+Vat seems a good price. The the PCD and centre bore are correct then i think i might give these a try.

I'll look (listen) out for it JPD...... Funny enough I did think about silver 17" Turini's as I put a set of 18"s on a Mitsubishi Evo that owned a few years back. They are a great wheel BUT on this occasion I’ll stick to the OE wheels. I am looking into good quality hub-centric spacers though.

Re: 2002 Clio Sport 172 (equipment) Thanks j6..... They were supplied with pretty good spec then really! was most of it removed for the 'Cup' cars?

Hi, having recently purchased my 2002 Clio RS172. I am chuffed with the equpment level it has.... Just wondered if you guys could tell me, what of the following was standard equipment, and what (if anything) would have been optional..... Xenon lights Auto Wipers Auto Lights In-dash CD Player...

I am looking at adding some wheel spacers to my car (The track on the front just does not seem wide enough for the bodywork) I was thinking of 15mm per corner (front and rear) and using propper hubcentric ones. Then having the Geo and tracking fully set up..... Would i be negativly effecting...

Hi Dagenham, I'm on the coast down in Worthing......

Thanks Magpie/Millerdom she needs a few minor things (couple of stone chips, wheels refurbed and a new set of car mats and the ambers removing) but otherwise i dont plan to change the way it looks. Just going to do some small performance mods and then i'm done :-) I noticed after reading a few...

Thanks Seb...... Had a good look around the forum last night before i joined, and it seems to be a busy, friendly and helpful site (which is nice to find)

Hi, Just bought a RenaultSport Clio 172 off a friend of mine. Pics: http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?635128-New-(to-me)-2002-Clio-RS172 My only previous Renault Experience was when i was 19 and i bought a 2 year old Renault 19 16Valve (phase1). It wasnt a good ownership experience...
