    Hi All, Just realised I've never actually posted any pictures of my 172 on here, so I'm fixing that now, hopefully this works as I'm using the 'upload a file' function on a mobile so here goes nothing 😂 So far I've only changed the wheels since owning it but I hope to progress it on...

    Clio 172 cup shocks oil or gas?

    hey guys. Sorry to make your eyes roll, but just dug out my garage some hardly used 172 cup shocks, they have good resistance both up and down but don't rise up by itself, if they are basic oil then that's fine but need to know if they are gas then they need throwing away. Thanks in advance

    Timing tools help please.

    Some assistance required. Bought timing tool set off the bay to do cam let change on Ph1 172. Engine no rusted away and not on log book. Camshaft locking Tool doesn't fit and apparently according to seller kit fits F4R 730 and 732 but not F4R 736. On this basis I assume I have a F4R 736...

    172 Manifold

    Looking at getting a de-cat system set up on my 172 Clio, how do I tell there difference between a 172 and a 182 manifold? Seems difficult to track down a decent priced 172 de-cat pipe but loads of 182 de-cats on ebay etc? So I'm hoping mines has a 182 manifold on it already.

    I would like to replace my engine undertray (I don't really need to, but it's got some damage on it and I'd like to). Since they seem to get damaged or thrown away a lot I'm not holding out much hope of finding an intact one second hand on here, but I would like to know if there is any real...

    172 Cup windscreen

    Having checked a few threads on here there seems to have been a little- not much, but a little- confusion over the years but the general consensus seems to be that the Ph2 172 Cup's windscreen is the same as a standard base-model no-electronics-or-electrics Clio 1.2's windscreen and is not...

    Clio Extreme to 172 conversion.

    I have just bought my second Clio. a 2003 1.2 Extreme. I would like to get a 172 kit on it. Do all phase 2 Clio's have plastic wings? This one has them, it also has clear side repeaters., I have a suspicion it may already have 172 wings on it?Do they look like 172 wings? Anyhow, I would like to...

    Possible battery issue? Crazy dashboard lights, headlights flicking on and off when turning key

    Just bought a stripped out Clio 172 '02 from my mate and having trouble starting it.

    172 Sport 2001 in tank fuel pump

    Just lost my fuel pump tonight. Have 12 volts to pump and fuel gauge but even the hammer trick was only good for 20 mins. AA tow home confirms pump as u/s. Europarts do a new unit for £155 but can I break out the fuel pump and replace that on its own. There are some units on Ebay at £30 but...

    Exhaust differences between 172 and non Sport

    What exactly other than bore size differs the 172 catback from a 1.4 or 1.6 catback? Reason I'm asking is a company is offering exhaust systems in stainless steel for 1.4 and 1.6 but no Sports. I asked them if they could make an exhaust with a slightly bigger bore for my 172, but unfortunately...

    Hi, I need to replace my front wheel bearing on my 172 cup, and a look on euro car parts is telling me there are two sizes (40ID 84OD or 37ID 72OD). K-tec has different categories for 182 Cups and everything else, but it doesn't say which is larger. Renault parts direct has different bearings...
