I've got an engine noise which is mainly noticeable when the engine's started from cold. It's still there when it warms up but nowhere near as loud. The noise can be heard a little when it's idling but is far more noticeable when the engine's on the overrun. It sounds to me like a possible...

I've managed to get a set of Genuine Renault roof bars to use on my Cup and they'll be used with a Thule bike carrier to stick my mountain bike on. Has anyone used the Renault bars and if so, is there a way of fitting them so they don't damage the paintwork when they're clamped onto the roof...

I'm going to need to change the shocks and springs on my Cup and I'm looking for some advice about what to get. I can't decide between going for Sportlines and new OEM shocks all round or going for a set of the cheap coilovers that Ktec are currently selling...

What's everyone using to clean and protect/dress the dash on their 172? The soft plastics around the click and door handles doesn't seem to take too well to being cleaned with APC then dressed with AG Trim stuff. Any better suggestions?

I've just bought a cup and it needs a couple of bits doing on it so need some advice. I've got a slight blow from the exhaust so will be looking for a replacement. I'm probably going to go off a full stainless system but don't want it much louder than stock. Does the decat make much...

I've got a decent selection of detailing kit at the moment but I've just ran out of wax a couple of weeks ago. I'm looking at getting a Mondial Blue 172 and was wondering what wax you guys recommend for them? I was thinking about jut going for some Collinite as its pretty hard wearing but does...

I'm going to be looking for some kit once I've got the car so I'm going to be after a new head unit that will work with the Renault remote and is also compatible with my iPhone. Any suggestions? I'm also going to be looking for some replacement front speaker. What size are they and does anyone...

Is the alarm that's fitted to the 172 Cup as standard Thatcham approved or not?

Obviously with any car its advisable to change the cam belt at or before the manufacturers stated time/mileage but how many people have ever actually had a cambelt fail on them? From speaking to my mates and after spending quite a few years in the motor trade, I've only ever heard of one or two...

I've searched the site and can't really find any info about this. What's the difference in the ph1 and ph2 both spec and age-wise??

I'm in the market for a Clio 172 but can't decide on what to go for. My budget is about £2k and I'm after something with good history and belts done etc. I've seen a 172 Cup with extensive history including belts for a little more than my budget by can't decide whether to go for this or just...

I'm about to start looking for my first Clio, probably a Ph2 172. Are there any real bodywork or corrosion problems to look out for on them or is it just the usual stuff with a 7 or 8 year old car?

Afternoon all I'm new on here, thinking about getting myself a 172 as my next car as they seem to be going for a fair price at the moment and they seem to fit the bill perfectly for me! I'm sure if I go ahead and get one I'll be hanging around here to pick various brains.
