Got the dent removal guy coming to sort a couple of bits on my car. 2002 172. Obviously the passenger door he can get to by winding the window down but how does he get to the rear quarter panel on passenger side? Is it easy to remove the interior panel?

Had this problem for a few weeks now. Clio 172 2002. Today I was turning key andit was turning over but wouldn't start. Started after a good few tries and drove fine. Sometimes I'll turn key and instead of it starting sharp it'll sort of crawl to a start. It's hard to explain but it's like it's...

Clio 172 2002. Seems to have developed some God awful knocking that sounds like it's coming from the back. When I roll away from my house down hill I can notice it quite badly and under braking at low speeds. Doesn't seem to happen, or I can't hear it when I get above around 20mph. The noise is...

Car is 2002 172. Last night after work I started car, revs dropped and it cut out. Started it again and it was idling really lumpy. I know they're rough when they're cold but this was rougher than usual. Tonight after work I started car and revs dropped to around 800rpm and again really lumpy...

Had a ktec system fitted a few months ago. At first, you couldn't see it hardly because the bumper is in the way but gradually the back box has dropped on the right hand side. Has a bracket come off or something? I've jacked it up and had a quick look but I'm hopeless with cars so not really...

I own a 2002 Clio 172 and radiator started leaking last weekend. Had it at my mates until today when we got a new radiator delivered. He's just rang saying it doesn't fit? Do the cup and non cup use different radiators or is there another reason why it wouldn't fit?

Drove to Manchester this morning, about 25 miles ish, noticed a bit of smoke coming from front of car, on the passenger side. Pulled over and checked under bonnet, coolant was below minimum. Put water in it from garage and carried on. Pulled up ten/fifteen mins later, coolant had dropped a bit...

Can't remember reg but plate was really dark. Had roll cage in too.

How hard is it to fit a ktec de cat pipe on a 2002 172? Just had car in garage and he's telling me it'll take a few hours? Said rest of exhaust is easy but removing cat is tricky. is he having me on?

When I accelerate in first, there's a noise that's coming from the passenger side at the front of the car. It's a groaning noise and sounds like the noise the grudge makes off the film. Sounds ridiculous but that's the best way I can describe it. Also does it if turning right at a small...

How much does it cost to put your car on a rolling road? I imagine prices will vary slightly. I'm in the north west near Burnley. Also what bhp should I expect from standard 172 that's 12 years old?

At the moment my car has full service history. Book been stamped etc. I've got a mate who's a qualified mechanic but doesn't work at a garage. He said he'll service my car for nothing. Obviously I'd have to buy the parts. Only problem is, I won't get the book stamped. Would people be put off if...

Blue 172 cup I think. 53 reg. Noticed it on way home from gym last night, looked immaculate.

my car seems to have developed a noise that sounds like its coming from the front drivers side wheel. it sounds like something metal and smooth is brushing against something metal and smooth.. like a chewchewchewchew sound (not a train!). happens when ive been driving fairly quick. obviously...

Sound is quite low so you'll have to turn your speakers up. Does this every morning. Always starts eventually though. anyone any ideas? http://2002 Clio sport 172: http://youtu.be/ydnLYPBh5mE

Had new battery and tdc sensor in past few months. Last week or so car been turning over and sounds like it's close to starting but won't quite catch. If I keep key turned long enough it will start or if I keep trying to start it it'll eventually work, just a bit embarrassing when someone's...

Been looking at the for sale section and seems most people selling have only owned their car a year or less? Why is this? I've had mine for 2 years in July and I can't see me getting rid any time soon. How long have you owned yours?

never really done any hardcore cleaning on my car and been looking at a few threads on here and want to give it a try. confusing with the huge amount of different products out there. need advice on shampoo, mitt, clay bar, need something that'll get rid of faint scratches if poss (megs 105/205...

Not quite sure when it started happening but did have an electrician fix the horn on my car a while ago and replace the indicator stalk so maybe that's when? Alarm is really quiet and sounds like it's choking? Pretty sure it's the alarm that came on the car. 2002 172. Any ideas? Thanks.

took my car to get wheels refurbished yesterday (friday) standard ph2 172 wheels. not the centre caps wont go back on? screw the screw as far as it'll go but its like they need screwing another cm, the caps are still loose as hell but the screw end is touching the brake discs. is there normally...

as in the title, i have a 2002 172. when i start it up and drive, there's a squeak that sounds like its coming from my front suspension on drivers side. doesn't do it when i go over bumps but if i press on and off the accelerator quickly it does it all the time. obviously i don't drive round...

When I indicate right and turn, my indicator never cancels on its own. When I turn left it cancels sometimes but not very often. Pretty recent problem, haven't had anything done to car recently that may have caused it.

Had it about 4 months, struggled starting quite a few times n wouldn't start at all a few weeks ago. Pushed car up a hill so I could roll downn bump it but it started just before I tried bumping it. Now sat in it and it won't start again. Turning over at first but think battery dead now. Where...
