Cant select any gears while engine is running but can when its off. If i select the gear with engine off and clutch down then pull away it drives fine but then difficult to select further gears without rev matching. Would this be the release bearing not releasing properly?

When my 172 is up to temperature im sure it used to be exactly on the halfway mark and never move. At the moment it sits on the notch below half and will only go up to half way when i accelerate hard. Is this normal or do i have a lazy stat? Not sure if its just a clio quirk.

As above I can't seem to find any in 120 compound. looking for 195/50/15. Anyone know who sells them?

I need a new Cat to Cat Back Exhaust Gasket, I know its a 63mm one I need but as its for a larger bore stainless exhaust Eurocarparts computer just gives the part number for a standard one which Im assuming will be a smaller diameter. They cant just go out back and show me a selection FFS...

Hi I'll be replacing my exhaust for a KTec Stealth over the coming days and to save getting the car out of the garage to check I wondered what size bolts are the two that connect the centre pipe to the Cat, also what size gasket is used? Mine are rusted up so will need replacing and will replace...

Possibly a stupid question but I havnt noticed it before, but should the top hats rotate in a circular motion when the steering is turned, I always thought they didnt rotate with the steering.

Anyone who uses their 172 on track with B14's measure the height they have them set to? Looking for an idea to set the height as a starting point for a nice balanced track set up. I know when they are set too low it can have an adverse affect on the handling. Car will be fitted with Camber...

I have fitted B14 Coilovers to my 172 Cup and noticed when tightening down the top cup with the 21mm nut that on the drivers side I have about 10mm of thread from the shock poking above the 21mm nut but on the passenger side the thread is pretty much flush with the 21mm nut. There are no knocks...

Hi I have noticed that one of the wires on my Intake Air Temp sensor on the intake manifold have rubbed through the outer rubber sheath. I am going to cut out the damaged bits and solder/heatshrink in new wire. Question is what sort of wire will I need? A quick google has thrown up different...

Anyone had theirs snap? Ours has been previously welded and doesn't look like its going to last. Anyone got any ideas for replacements as I have read the main dealers don't make them anymore and they were around £28 which is excessive just for a bolt.

Got a stud kit en route but it's not supplied with theeadlock. What theeadlock is most suitable for this application? I see PMS supply Loctite 271 with their kits but to buy this separately seems very expensive just for some theeadlock. Anyone use anything else?

I'm currently changing my brake fluid using a Sealey pressure bleeder. I've pressurised the system to 15psi and I've cracked open the r/n/s nipple but there is barely any fluid coming out. Been here nearly an hour and only collected less than 100ml. What's going on???

Hi Guys Have a 172 Cup and when accelerating hard on uneven ground the wheel pulls left and right, you really have to hold on tight me it's very unnerving and spoils the drive. Checked for play on both fronts, no play at the 12 and 6 positions at all. No play at 9 and 3 on front offside but...

Hi guys Any other alternative to genuine Renault parts? Been looking at FAI and Firstline wishbones but they look slightly different and dont have the slot for the arb mount to fit into. Cheers Chris

Bit of a strange one. Just bought a 172 Cup and have started stripping down and re greasing all the brakes so they work ok. Piece of mind really. On the rears I took everything apart, cleaned it all up but when I went to re fit the pads into the carrier the inner one went in fine but there was...
