Just recently bought a cheap 172, in having trouble with 1st gear thou, goes in all gears including reverse absolutely fine, there's no crunching or whining from the box at all If I'm stationary, I'll have to keep pressing the clutch in and out for it to go into 1st, I have to do this at least a...

This will be my second clio sport I'm buying, the first one I bought in the heat of the moment, ended up spending a fortune on it, kept it 14 month and got rid just after christmas, regretted selling it straght away, I don't want to do the same again, tbh from the pics it looks quite agood...

I've emailed the guy and unfortunately it has no history, with it having 12 owners the history has been lost down the line, will be a nightmare to try and trace i was going to go have a look tomorrow, as the condition seems to be immaculate, 12 months mot and its the colour I'm after (Monaco...

As title it's from a dealer, looks pretty clean with only 65 k on the clock, I've hpi'd the car and its only came back with plate changes, I've got the reg number + v5 document number to do a mot check on it and the milage seems legit, it's 2003 and I've managed to knock him down to £1400 ​would...

Thanks guys, finally managed to get it to restore, tryed restoring it at first but kept coming up as error the phone is pass code protected, after putting it in recovery mode and trying it let me restore it. Thanks for your help

right first off ive just bought a iphone 4s off ebay, but now its decided to disable itself for years haha before you all start saying its stolen etc, ITS NOT it disabled because it had a password lock on it, ive since emailed the seller and have now got the password lock for the phone but i...

Nightmare to get hold of by itself, they pop up every now and again but usually sell straight away. It's easier just buying a whole new cover of someone with the cap included mate. Can usually get hold of one for £30 posted currently one on eBay but its a bit on the expensive side at £24 posted...

I agree with the above, Tbh it would cost way too much for me to have the head taken off, new belts, head gasket + labour, the cars out off mot in a couple of days, so it just wouldn't be worth fixing in my opinion, I'd be looking at £600/£700 just to put it back on the road if it can be done...

Cool....will go round a few garages on Monday then, was panicking abit incase the head had to come off, I wouldn't of repaired it if that was the case

Hi my engines decided to spit a plug out, can it be helicoiled with the head on, or is it a head off/timing belt job ? Or is there any other options ?

Cheers mate, hopefully knock itself off soon then

It was intact the lambda sensors guys, fitted 2 Bosch ones this afternoon, (got them both from euro car parts while they had the 31% off deal online) mpg's back to normal and no lumpy idle anymore. one last question thou, the emissions light has stayed on, will this go off by itself or do I need...

Thanks for the replys guys, I'll try the lamba front to back etc hopefully that's what it is i can't see it been plugs, they were only changed about 3000mile ago, I've tryed the coil pack and leads off my mates car and was still the same i'll let you guys no if any of the above do the trick, if...

Had the car a year now an it's ran absolutely fine till the start of the week so it's not timing etc. When I first start it, it's idling at about 1200 ( it's never idled this high since I've owned it), once it gets to temp it does the total opposite and idles at about 500 and keeps cutting out...

yes mate that £125.65 a sensor is through wests on here, god knows what renault charge for them!! cant believe there so expensive i'll have a check tomorrow mate, i plugged it in to my mates snap on reader and both sensors came up but definatly worth checking the plug you've mentioned
