Is there a down side to removing the old tube that goes from the original induction filter box to the device behind the headlight? It had a split and I decided to remove it and leave the filter hole empty where the pipe used to come from Cheers ( Ps it sounds nice lol )

Just needs a new dephaser pulley at some point, it's slightly noticeable but nothing like some of the ones I've seen :O

After what was said here, agreed guess I'm learning more every day :) Perhaps there is no way to know if it was just a straight swap, only the seller does :p

Ouch, I feel your pain! :(

Ah I see, I think the story was that his car was high milage and as he was a mobile mechanic came across a 182 that had a rear end smash. He put the 182 straight in which had 86k on it at the time. He obviously was a car mechanic going by his tshirt and one of the cards I found. Always a concern...

Oh great so it's just a 172 engine? Looks like I've been had then :( As I said four pipes going into one main exhaust, they look to be non standard ones as well possibly aftermarket.

Balls can't do it now up on small jacks :( pig to get too

The cables seem to disappear underneath the exhaust shroud, can't see it. Can't see anything inside the car either under handbrake cable.

Ok on checking the back of the engine, I have four big pipes coming out of the engine going down into one, 4-1 ?

Apparently the car I have is a 172 134k with a 182 engine swapped of 96k, how could I check to make sure it is actually a 182 engine block? Any codes etc?

Thanks DannyR :) Does anyone know exactly where the adjusters are? Couldn't see one at the handbrake with cover off

Hi there I have a problem in which the hand brake doesn't hold the back left but on back right it's too much. Releasing the handbrake on the right rear is as if it's still on and you can barely move the disc! Needs to be sorted today while car is up on jacks, how do I do this? Renault clio...

Same RAGE!!! :( :(

Too late got the £50 one :(

Ah well **** happens :D

Cheapest I can get is about £50, sound good?

haha there's about 6 of them in there, things people do for rush repair jobs Thanks Mar

When I got the car I knew that it needed a new engine mount, it's completely shot with just rubbery hard screws placed inside as a make shift job. But I didn't know that they were so expensive, is it hard to get euro car parts for the clio 16v sport? Also do I need to get the entire...

Cheers all :)

As I've been used to a corsa unleaded and a picasso diesel, is normal unleaded ok for the Clio 172 and 182?

hah :lolup:

That would be good, what about bafflers? If I spelt it right :D

Yeh lucky enough it was in travel distance, one of the ones I nearly went for was a highly modified one but something gave me bad vibes

I've just purchased a 172 cup with 183 engine block and although the exhaust is nice, it's too loud for me. Any idea what sort of exhaust I should go for to replace it, or will the standard do and not affect performance too much?

Got myself a renault clio 172 iceberg silver cup 133k on clock with 182 engine of 90k, backbox, alloys etc

Thanks Rob! I believe you need to be a full club member to put up a wanted list correct? If so I'm unsure of doing that yet as I don't know exactly what car to buy and I usually join clubs after I've purchased the car.

Thanks Boosh! I'd certainly say I was not sad to see the Picasso go unlike the MR2, I shed a little man tear :(. It's been a toss up on the searching side of things from a Clio to a MG ZR 160 to a Peugeot 206 gti ( 150bhp )

Hi there, just thought I'd search out the places for the best to buy a Clio 172 up to £1500, haven't found anyone near kent yet, so bloody far away :rasp: Never been a Renault owner, however I had so many cars including a 260bhp mr2 and a rather naff Citreon Xsara Picasso which Ive just sold...
