Hi guys, Right... Have had ABS/ESP/SERV lights on for a while now and knew it was steering angle related. Have now used a Snap-on machine with live-data to work out the issue. - With wheels and steering-wheel centred, the steering angle sensor reads -30.00 - Turn the wheel a full turn...

Hi guys... Replaced the engine on my 172 a short while ago. Change went pretty smoothly to be honest - Until we turned it on and saw the entire dash light up like the Blackpool christmas lights!! Now, all seems to have resolved itself EXCEPT the ABS/TRACTION lights. Having thrown my mates...

Hi guys, I have a 53 reg Clio with Climate control - car must think its in the middle east sometimes as it only blows cold air, then other times it stays warm even on minimum. The blowers are fine, speeds are all perfect, its just the temperature. Is this also regulated by the heater resistor...

Hi all, After getting a new engine installed in my PH2 172, It lasted a week on my driveway before getting attacked by a mechete last night... Basically I am looking for suggestions of renault breakers that may have an iceberg silver o/s front wing and a bonnet... or is ebay more likely...

This should be simple enough (He says...)... I've got a recon F4R on the way to replace mine, as my bottom-end looks like it was involved in a NATO missile strike in Libya. I presume people have done a straight swap before - but I just wanted some opinions of problems you may face and roughly...

Afternoon all, Last night after a slight loss of power, My 172 is making a knocking noise when under power. It's pretty much silent on tickover but then starts to make a knock when you put some revs through it. Someone has suggested TDC sensor or something - But I'm fearful its the dreaded...

Hi all, Starting to piece together my collection of trackday essentials, but my previous supplier of part worn R888's has no stock... Does anyone know where to attain 16" Slicks cheap? Any brand considered, Just need some worn ones to stick on a set of banged up 16's to run at Brands. If...

Well I've been on here a few weeks now, but I only got my Clio just over a week ago and these are the first pics I've taken. Hopefully some toys will appear soon and I'll throw a topic up in the 'Projects' section. I have a hankering for some buckets, a roll-cage and some slicks :cool...

Probably going to answer my own question....BUT.... Are Clio's (Ph2 172) known for 'whining' PAS? I know my Fiesta ST used to do it when it was getting a bit warm - after a good B road session - but didn't know if these are the same? This seems to do it quite faintly ALL the time, then get a...

Just picked up my 172 from Essex, had a good solid test drive, nice bit of slow driving and a bit of beans in a straight line just to check it pulled alright and clutch was fine etc... HOWEVER - Upon my drive home, I came up to a roundabout and on the exit I gave it a bit of right foot and the...

Got my £3000 to go and buy a cheap plaything/daily driver car with, so set about the task this afternoon of ringing round pretty much all the decent looking 172's and 182's in a 100mile radius. Not ONE of them had the ability to be driven away, or they just didn't answer the phone. seriously...

Afternoon all. I'm looking to get rid of my current car to put some money in the bank towards a Mortgage, so I'll have about £2000-2500 spare to buy a 'fun' car to potter around in and maybe take to Brands/Bedford a few times throughout the year. - This has lead me to 172's. Now a friend...
