New Irish Clio 172 member



  Clio 172 Ph1
Hi folks,

I believe the car I've recently taken ownership is a past member's car so it's returning to the fold.
Havent gotten round to taking my own photos yet so I'll just put up the previous owner's instead.

Luckily, the car has gotten a lot of the preventative and upgraded parts that you would be looking for including (in the past 4 years alone). I've copied this fromk previous owner BTW:
- Stainless steel brake hoses
- Brembo Max discs
- Ferodo DS2500 pads
- Eibach Pro Springs
- KTEC Stealth cat-back exhaust
- rear discs and pads, KTEC
- Handbrake Cable, Renault
- Alternator, aux belt, tensioner, Renault, oil & filter
- plugs, ITG filter, gearbox and engine mounts, dog bone mount, oil & filter
- NS driveshaft, Renault
- Front bearings
- Magnecor leads
- Coil pack, Steering rack, front ABS sensors, (all Renault) PAS fluid, 4wheel alignment
- All shocks (Renault), centre and rear exhaust mounts
- All ARB bushes, front top mounts, rear beam bushes, all Renault
- all bearings, 4wheel alignment, major service (all filters all fluids) 87981 miles
- changed both headlamps for new ones, uprated both exhaust mounts
- oil & filter, throttle cable, new battery
- washer bottle pump
- drivers window regulator (I changed the other one at some point too)
- OEM spec Michelin Pilot Exaltos
- 2 new ball joints and new track rod ends
- New Momo boss kit and new OMP steering wheel.

There's a few things that need doing including:
Sort out central locking and source OEM key, currently left with spurious ones - Anyone have a price for replacement keys?
Small bit of lacquer peel on bonnet
Interior door handles need replacing
Horn not working on OMP wheel - Any one info on this, did a quick search and only got results for a Momo wheel
Driver seat belt 'stopper' needs replaced
4 wheel alignment
Remove the 'Ring badge from the back - I hate those!

I'm sure there's plenty more so will be asking plenty of questions and looking for parts on here!

Cheers,
Paddy

Yeah pretty rare alright and the ones that are left are ragged to within an inch of their lives!
They can be got cheap but it's weeding out the good from the bad.
I knew of this one through its last 2 owners so was great to know it was cared for

There are some right rotters about, especially ph1s. Good on you finding a clean one, it's getting harder and harder.
