My ph1 172 has developed a few annoying & difficult to locate creaks. Creak one is when turning the front wheels when stationary, it seemed like the rubber top mounts against the bodywork, so I removed them & smeared lithium grease in between but it still does it (oh, except when I took it in...

I need a replacement set of dampers for my ph1, I was quoted about £49+vat each front & £51+vat rear for standard dampers & the same price for rear Cup ones & £56+vat for Cup fronts from a local Renault dealer. I just wondered if I could find either genuine set cheaper online before buying ...

The old PowerFlow system on the car when i bought started to fall to bits internally (perf. tube unwelding from box etc) so found there was a LongLife depot 15mins from me. The chap was superb, initially popped it in for inspection then took it in the next afternoon & he made the new system...

Ok, I've attempted (& failed) to remove the upper dash. 3 screws under the windscreen, 2 behind the doors, upper column cover off & 4 more screws off, can't seem to get the blasted thing off... Is there possible access if I remove the stereo/vents & get to them from behind ? Thanks.

This happened at random the other day, rear wiper done a complete sweep but instead of finishing there it partially came up again & stopped half way up the screen, when i tried again, it either done the same but sometimes won't work at all. If i just leave the wiper 'on' it'll eventually work...

I've just fitted new front Brembo oem discs & Brembo oem pads, the old inside pads were very worn. I took the car out straight after fitting & i gained some random squeaks, but mainly when turning/bending right, not a constant squeak but on/off-on/off rapidly. I drove 70miles today approx 1/2...

I've been reading up on here regarding f & r replacement discs/pads (ph1 172) Lots of people seem to recommend OEM rear discs only with OEM pads but i've looked at these, though the image doesn't show the bearing in the discs or the ABS ring ...

My 172 gets used an awful lot & cleaned very little. So yesterday in the sun i gave it a little (only a little mind) clean & polish, then thought i'd take a few snaps as it may not get cleaned again any time soon, lol.
