Picked this up yesterday as a project/toy for the weekend. I have wanted one since they first came out. 107k 12 months MOT 4 almost new Toyo tyres Some history, but I bought it in the knowledge that it needs a cam belt change (no evidence of a change) - any recommended specialists near...

Hi, Recently bought a Renault Clio 172. Once going runs great, pulls hard in all gears. Only problem is it seems to be idling low around 500-600 and sounding like it could cut out. It starts first time and hasn't yet actually cut out when idle but never gets about 600ish rpm. Looked in paperwork...

So looks like i need a pair of drive shafts for my phase 1 172... Can anyone recommend which to go for. Would prefer oem part but renault no longer produce them for the phase 1. Eurocarparts are showing a n/s GKN unit but no offside and also get mixed reviews. Mainly on supplying the correct...

G’day my name is Mike, and this is my first post. I picked up my first even Renault, a 2003 Clio Sport 172 Ph2 just before Christmas with the intention of the car becoming a street legal track toy (as I don’t have a trailer), I was considering a Peugeot 206 GTI 180, but the Clio was much better...

Right guys, Yesterday I went to pick up my bargain Clio 172, I was told prior to winning the car that it just needed a battery and it would start up. It was last started a month ago by the kiddies dad. I arrive, change the battery and nothing happens, not even a click... so I was thinking...

Hi all just drove back from work and while reversing out of a space it let out a very loud rattle, while driving I dipped the clutch and the noise stopped, revved it sharply and it rattles again, slowly revving in neutral and no rattle, but rev a little harder and it rattles like crazy.

Wanted to know if there were any Norwegian members on board.....? I've been located in Norway for almost two years and plan to purchase a 172/182 early next year for a trip to the ring in summer. Unfortunately I am unable to import a UK car legally as I'm a permanent employee. The only option I...

Hi all, I've been on Cliosport ever since owning a 172 Cup (project thread here). Sadly the Cup ended up needing a new head and it was going to cost a lot to repair so I sold it on and ever since I really missed Clio ownership. In July I decided to go on the hunt for another 172, but one that...

What's the best place to look for replacement stock bits for a 172 Cup? I'm looking for brake discs and pads, shocks and springs just now. None of it's urgent, but I like to start doing my research early. On a not entirely related note, what's the most cost-effective route to go down if I'm...
