Following on from my clutch issue on my Ph1 I have just released the clutch cable from the box end and the fork is just wobbling around like it's snapped off, I can move it in every direction. Is it a box out job to replace? I was hoping not but I think I can guess the answer!

My Ph1 has today started making a horrific noise from the clutch / box area. First thought was a release bearing or clutch itself however the noise is when you press the clutch in and it's a noisy metal on metal noise but not every time, occasionally judders pulling away again though not every...

Where is the best place to order the uprated rubber that sits in the original mount. There was some on ebay powerflex I think but can't find any now. Sorry for not searching but I'm out and stuck on Slowband so it's easier to ask.here :-)

Heading south just now looked obsessively clean :-)

After a second email address web based and basic any decent ones? Hotmail?

Come to change the diff seal on my ph1 as its leaking but I cant work out how to remove the old one as access is prety tight laid on my back looking up. Dont want to go forcing it out and knacking something else! :o

My clio is leaking oil it looks to be coming from the Diff/box seal on the O/S as best i can tell leaking from the rubber seal between the diff and the driveshaft extender thingy (Can't remember its proper name), Its not a drip either but not spewing out assuming it is the diff seal is it a easy...

This is on my daily megane 1.9DCi The car has always been a lazy started since i got it over a year ago and on a couple of ocasions the engine has turned over really slow then not at all leaving it 5 minutes and it was back to normal. Today after work the car turned over really slowly then when...

Just replaced the springs on my 172 thought I had done them right however its fine when driving normally but when turning tight i.e parking I can hear the springs groaning and then turning on the shock under full lock I can even feel it on steering wheel. Have I done something wrong :$

My Mk1 172 has just failed its MOT this morning on a couple of faults which I sort but unsure on this one :S The hazard lights don't work when the ignition is off. Absolutely no probs with button - hazards turn on and off when it's pressed and the ignition is on, but nothing when the car is...

Need some advice I'm running a megane scenic dci been running fine nipped into shop wont start had to get recovered. I have worked out its down to fuel, The lines into the fuel pump are clear and you can usually hear see them being primed when you turn ignition on now its doing nothing. Bit...

This is in my daily bus 51 plate scenic so im not massive power but it is a little flat getting upto speed it just feels like hard work setting off etc lol Is there anything worth trying to improve it slightly? Seen those tuning boxes but they get mixed reviews was also wondering if it might...

First on wellhome rd black phase2 verry shiny at 7 am. Second one was a blue Phase 2 with cliosport sticker past me just before it exited A180 for Imingham was making good progress :thumbup:

Just thinking out loud at moment but opinions wanted, My Ph1 172 is due a belt but money is tight at moment so realistically its not going to happen for a while, I would like to take it to a specialist but its simply a no go at moment. However I'm quite mechanically minded restored a classic...

Just done the car with AG SRP then sealed it with AG EGP but unsure of the best way to keep on top of it? Weekly wash with just a normal wash with something like body shampoo? Cheers

Our lass has been on at me to sort the 172 out as it has needed a good going over for the last year but no cash and the car averaging about 10 mile a week its been neglected. Anyways fitted a new rad today filter oil change etc took it for a run, In this past year she also said it did not feel...

Think I have fixed the water leak ony 172, Just wondering if I am o.k filling it back up with just water for a quick blast to check its all o.k then draining and putting the coolant in. Got visions of my new coolant just running down road :o

In Halfords now lol anyone know the sump plug size ! I would guess square 11 mm going on looks lol

The new rad I have for my 172 has a threaded hole in one side which my origional does not. Sure I saw a post on here about it does anyone know the part number? Do Renault stock stuff like this ? Cheers

After years of only washing and the odd autoglym polish the clio still looks relatively shiny but if you run your hand over the paintwork you can feel the contaminants. Whilst its off the road i'm thinking of cleaning the bodywork up so what would you guys recommend on a tight budget (read as...

Just on with changing my rad and noticed the power steering pipe? looks badly corroded in one place, I have not tried to clean it up to see if it is a build up on top or knackered what do you think? Im hoping it will hold out a while as I can barely afford the rad this month and don't want to...

Tried searching bt only seemed to find old posts.. Looking for a service kit for ph1 172 sparkplugs, filters and oil if anyone does them cheaper on here :approve:

Been out for a run with Torque pro running on my Andriod phone all seems well but under fuel i get "o2 system closed loop" then its randomly going to "o2 system open loop low temp" :S Is this normal temp is running around 88c

After a drive in the 172 (usually only does short trips) of more than 20 mins i can smell the coolant more so when i park the car up and get out :S Everything seems fine , no leaks overheating etc ? Never noticed it before.

Front suspension is getting a bit creacky on the Ph1 172, Car does about 10 miles a week and is not often driven in anger so would i be better poly bushing the front wishbones and ant-roll bar (overkill?) or going the cheaper/easier option of just replacing the front wishbones and roll bar...

My 172 feels like it's down on power, I thought it was just me but the missus has noticed it too. It's still quick but it does not seem to have the torque it had or as much kick at 5k. It was recently MOT'd and my tester said it took a while to get the emissions right and that he thinks the...

Not my car someones on a non motoring forum i use thought someone might have some ideas i could forward on? I drive a 2000 Renault Clio . Tonight both indicators & the central locking failed . I have a warning light on the dash advising me to contact the dealer . Well more bad news it's...

My car does not get used regularly (short runs) and is quite new to me, Lately i noticed that it seemed tamer than usual and also not as much exhaust induction noise. Had a decent drive out today and on the way home it suddenly seemed like it did when i bought it like it had warmed up etc but i...

Had it over a week now so thought i would give it a wash and add some cliosport goodies. It still has the Renault first aid kit in boot and a Renault warning triangle (did these come with the car?) Don't want to mod it anymore but make it my own, The CS sticker has helped might put some new...

Having had to sell our phase2 172 4 years ago when the kids came along we missed it so now we don't need the pushchairs we decided to buy this after spotting for £1500, Really impressed so far were the 3rd owner and it has done 91,000 (fsh) but pulls well, feels quicker than my ff...
