    Hazard/Central locking wiring

    I asked the garage to replace my hazard light switch as part of the MOT. They said the wiring/plug which connects to the switch itself is knackered and suggested going to a scrapyard to get one from another Clio. Is this part of the main wiring loom in the engine? How easy is it going to be to...

    Clio 172 Diesel!

    http://s698.photobucket.com/albums/vv349/sihaworth85/?action=view&current=IMG_02361.mp4 Dephaser? Seemingly to get it replaced the cambelt, aux belt, water pump etc all need to be replaced? I'm not sure I have 500 quid lying around for this :dapprove:

    Who's everyone with Insurance wise and is it a reasonable price ?

    Brentacre wanted £770 from me for renewal, 24, 2 years ncb, 1 claim (not at fault), 0 points. Elephant though have smashed that and will do it for just under £550. Strange old world.

    Insurance difference - 24/25

    My insurance renewal is up at the 1st of the month but I unfortunately/fortunately hit the magic 25 years old near the end of June. How much of an impact is this going to have on my premium if any? Brentacre have quoted me the thick of 700 quid for my renewal (2 years NCB, 1 claim - not my...

    Renault Handbook

    Clio Handbook Mine seems to be all in French, which is a nice touch and feels very authentic but pretty useless as I'm pap at reading French! Has anyone got a link to a PDF one online I could download etc? Cheers!

    Buzzing/Whining

    Got the fan out and tried to give it a clean but it wasn't for having it and still insisted on buzzing so looks like I'll need a replacement. Anyone got the part number to hand? But, the whining still seemed to be coming from the engine/alternator area when the ignition was on but engine not...

    Buzzing/Whining

    I'll have a listen tonight after my drive home to see if its still making a noise from the alternator, hopefully we can rule that out. Thanks for the advice.

    Buzzing/Whining

    Does it just need blasting with some compressed air to clean it up or will it need replacing? And would that explain the whine from the alternator also or is that just a Clio thing? (New to all this 172 owning, sorry!)

    Buzzing/Whining

    When I turn my car on, even if its just to turn the electrics on I can hear a buzzing in the car itself that seems to be coming from the dash. I opened the bonnet to see if I could hear anything further, and there seems to be whining, higher pitched noise, coming from the alternator. Could...

    Howdy all. Been signed up for a little while but not really posted up yet to introduce myself. I've just bought a '02 172 after my CRX was written off after getting hit from behind. I'll post some pictures tonight of it, but I'm absolutely loving the bloody thing! Compared to the CRX (which...

    Insurance advice needed

    Alot of sites always ask for details of any claims, regardless of fault. Not quite sure why that is mind and I don't know the impact it has on any possible claims. Brentacre is looking good at the moment it has to be said, just hope by adding a few older female family members I can drive it...

    Insurance advice needed

    The Privilage one has got additional drivers too on the policy (parentals) where as I haven't done that yet with Brentacre, so I suppose there is room for manouver with that one also. Still not quite as cheap as I'd like, but when is it ever?!.

    Have you declared yours at any extra cost? Suspension, painted alloys etc?

    Insurance advice needed

    I'm hoping to buy a 172 within the next couple of days and I've had various quotes, some plainly obscene but the two below have been the most reasonable so I'd like some opinions please? Its a 2002 172. I'm 23, 1 years ncb, 1 claim this year (non fault). Privilage have offered £684 with a...
