Hi all, Considering buying 197 soon. At the price/mileage I'm looking to buy I expect timing/aux belt will be first job on the to-do list. Wondering where's the the best place to take it to in my area. I'd like it to be somewhere with rennault/clio experience but deffo not Rennault! lol...

Hi, I was just wondering what method you used for pulling it forward? I have quite a bit of movement on fairly new mounts and would like to try this. ​Thanks in advance for your help. Dan

I stupidly decided to try and change the rear discs myself, the bearings were stuck solid to thr shaft and let's just say a few sensors were harmed in the process... thanks everyone for your help. I managed to find two used hubs on ebay with abs sensors cheaper than buying one new sensor so...

Hi all, Unfortunately I need two replace both rear abs sensors on my car... Most on ebay seem to not fit the clio 172/182... And I can't find any second hand ones for both sides. Does anyone know if they are dealer only / how much they are? Or if there is anywhere else I can get them from? I...

Looking to do my front/rear discs & pads tomorrow, never done this before. Did anyone have a copy of a clio manual they could lend me? Many thanks! Dan

Hi, Did you get to the bottom of this? I am having similar issues. I've ordered a new TB but the old one looks in fairly good condition.

Hi all, Thank you for all your replies. Sorry for the delayed response! I have purchased one tonight so I will be fitting over the next week or so. In the mean time I,ve cleaned up the old one and she seems much better. Dan

Thanks very much. It looks like a fairly simple job. Has anyone done this? Are there any complications?

Hi all, I believe the throttle body on my clio 172 needs replacing. If I purchase a 2nd one and fit it myself will I need to have anything re-programmed or mapped for it to run correctly? Apologies if that's a stupid question. Many thanks, Dan

Hello, Occasionally under heavy acceleration (5k onwards with my foot down) a warning light appears on the dash and car suddenly becomes limited to very low RPM until ignition is cut and restarted. It may be coincidence but I've not seen it do it out of gear. It seems to happily rev all the way...

Nooooooooooooooooo :'( There must be another way!!

I've been having trouble with my 2002 172 for a while now. The fault is intermittent and ranges from wipers stopping, to headlights flashing to doors double locking. After doing quite a bit of reasearch and a visit to a local garrage it's looking like it's probably the UCH body control...

update - A friend took a look at the car during the weekend (under bonnet inspection and checked fault codes ect...). He suggested some of the earth points were fairly corroded so I decided to remove, clean and replace them. The only fault codes were traction control (not on the car, lol) and...

What is 'Uch'? Thanks Dan

Thank you
