Hey guys, just having a quick scan, and I noticed that my old 172 was back up for sale.
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2002-51-RENAULT-CLIO-172-2-0-16V-ICEBERG-SILVER-LOOKS-STUNNING-PRIVATE-PLATE-/260904169029?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item3cbf19ae45
Now it states new gearbox & clutch fitted 8 months...
Hey guys, swapped my car over the other day, from the 172 to an Impreza.
Be careful if any of you do the same with them, i've been stung for £217, just for them to change the vehicle over.
Obviously I didn't know this at the time, otherwise I would have cancelled it. Just checked my paperwork...
Wasn't assed when i was making the advert to sell, as I had my new Impreza to play with. Watching the guy who has it now drive off in it tonight broke my heart! Gutted :(

I think this is a fair price, as the car is excellent condition, and has been given only the best since I have had it.
Price is open to offers ;)
Cheers guys, Paul
Is this slightly too cheap?

Hey guys, found out this morn that my brake is jammed on, and thats why my car has been pulling to the left when braking.
Will use this as an excuse now to upgrade to Brembo discs, and get some new pads.
Does this sound like it will solve the issue? Sorry, I'm clueless when it comes to the...
Hi guys, on my way to work then was doing about 70 and had to brake quite hard. Car bounced to the left quite badly. Now whenever I brake even at slow speeds it does it.
Any ideas?
Sorry for not searching, at work and trying to hide from the boss lol
Cheers Guys
Hi guys, want to have a go at an oil change & gear box oil change. Any chance of getting the pictures back up? Or a new guide would be great if anyone has the time.
Cheers ;)
It's gone all rusty, after sitting under the vented carbon bonnet. Reading the 'sticky' filter test, seems that standard airbox is the way to go.
How much will one set me back? Or will I be better off replacing it with a K&N?
Cheers guys ;)
Hey guys, just like to check that im not getting done by a garage.
Booked in tomorrow for the passenger side to get done, just wondering how much is the part, and approx how long does it take?
Cheers, Paul
Hey guys, noticed everytime I go to clean my car there is a sort of grease on my front o/s alloy.
Also, tyres are around 3 months old, and this one is knackered already, after about 2000 miles.
Think if its the suspension, I'll use it as an excuse to put coilovers on.
Also, how much...
Hey guys, my key has just died a death on me, and have to get the car back on the road by 6pm!
Does a new key have to come from Renault or can anyone in the yellow pages sort it?
Thanks guys
Just thought i would share it with you guys.
My light would flash quickly, and the engine wouldn't even attempt to turn over.
Phoned Renault, they explained that I would need a new key [only have the one]
Speaking to a lad in work about it, he had a go at my key, and just prised up the small...

Hey Guys
Backbox is a custom made twin pipe one, on my 172
One hanger on the left [using the orig hanger]
However, it keeps twisting, and the right pipe dropsabout 2 inches.
Is there any sort of paste [like glue] that i can use inside the join?
Failing that, are there any clamps for the...
Hey guys, got a spare set here, very close mileage to mine.
Want to try a straight swap, as my ones won't work properly. [It's mainly the petrol milage, and journey distance]
Anyway, is it a whole dash out job?? Had a search couldnt find anything. Cheers Guys ;)
To everyone who advised me get the car back up and running as normal.
Saved me a fortune on garage bills has this site.
Drinks are on me if i ever get to one of the meets!
Cheers. Paul

Right guys, after following replies from my previous post about the car juddering in low revs when engine is warm, i have cleaned the throttle body, its now spotless, and also cleaned up the induction kit and tdc sensor.
Its still there, although the car does run quite a bit smoother.
