    Play in gear shift - options in 2023?

    I've got the usual play in the gearstick in my clio and I'd like to address it but not sure how best to and most threads are from a while back. I had a BMS Shifter on my track car in the past but these (along with megane scenic housings) seem to have dried up Yanoo's stiff shift seems to have...

    Ph2 172 alternator exciter live with ignition off

    Hi Folks, My 2002 Ph2 172 started flattening its battery, some investigation later and there was a 4A drain over the alternator (measured between the alternator post and the large charging cable). I fitted a used alternator, which seemed to be working at first, but got extremely hot and...

    Has anyone used Proline rear axle lines?

    I need to replace my rear axle lines and given they're half the cost and stainless, these are very tempting over replacing them with OE hard lines with crimped flexi tails. Has anyone used them? Do they fit properly? Thanks

    172 ABS - self error checking, or can it store faults and fail to self check?

    I know the 172 does a self-check on the ABS system when you start it. Does it have any capacity to store long term faults and disable this? I.e. if you have fixed the fault will the light definitely go out? Or can it become stuck and need reset with CLIP? Thanks

    Has anyone ordered from ABS sensors recently and got the right ones?

    I need a pair of front ABS sensors for a 2002 Ph2 172. There seems to be a cataloguing issue and loads of places list the wrong ones. Has anyone managed to order some for sensible money and got the correct fitment? If so what brand and from where please? Thanks!

    Has anyone had a custom exhaust for anything? Costs?

    All the cars I've had previously had good off the shelf options both new and used, but I need something which won't be possible without going custom (dual 3" with an xpipe and cats under the floor on a V8). Custom exhausts aren't particularly common in the UK, has anyone had work done and what...

    6.5" component recommendations please!

    Non clio question, I'd like to upgrade the speakers in my Jag XJ8. They come with a 6.5 mid in the lower door and a ~40mm tweeter by the doorhandle. I've looked at Alpine type E which I've used in the past but the tweeters are 25mm. A friend recommended looking at Vibe, but their slick 6 6.5"...

    I've had the gearbox out of my 172 and I'm part way through refitting it all and have these bolts I can't place. Hopefully someone recognises them! Thanks

    Sealant for crank bearing cap

    I need to order sealant to reseal the rear main bearing cap. Due to the arrangement, I want a proper cartridge that goes in a gun, as opposed to a toothpaste tube. Renault want £50 for it with no info of what it is. Can anyone advise if it's normal RTV or something more specialised?

    172 Cup - which parts are specific to the cup?

    I'm looking for some help from the collective experience of CS! 172 Cup parts (I think) fall into three categories: Parts which are the same as a Ph2 172 (for example the sideskirts) Parts which are the same as a base model clio (windscreen) Parts which were bespoke to the cup (alternator...

    Renault parts software

    Is there a source of the renault parts catalogue covering up to 2003? Looking at doing some tedious cross referencing, so really need access myself rather than someone who's happy to look up the occasional part. Cheers

    182 cup pack rear axle - any pics?

    I believe the cup packed 182s had additional strengthing plates on the rear axle and a larger torsion bar. I've seen plenty of mention on the forum but no solid info on the differences. Does anyone have any pics, or know well enough what it looks like to find some on google? Cheers

    Repair panel - between inner chassis leg and sill, behind jacking point - Available?

    Does anyone know if it's possible to buy the panel which ties the sill and the chassis leg together at the bottom of the bulkhead? Mines had the usual jacking damage both on the horizontal face and the sill flange folded over. Cheers

    Blasting and coating prices.

    What prices have folk been paying for blasting and coating car parts? Most places seem to want to see the stuff before quoting, which isn't ideal in the current conditions. I've also no idea what is and isn't reasonable as I've not had anything done in years. Considering doing subframe and...

    Grille badge - how to change and is it the same as other models?

    My Renault diamond on the front grille has been (badly) sprayed anthracite and then stonechipped and I'd like to go back to stock. Can these be removed from the grille? Are they the same as base model cars? Anyone know what they cost new? Thanks

    Has anyone got the procedure for installing and sealing the flywheel end crank main bearing and crank seal?

    I have a 172 with a leak from behind the flywheel. Upon disassembly to replace the crank seal, I discovered the sealant in the main bearing was sliding out, so I intend to do the crank seal, main bearing sealant and sump gasket whilst I'm in there. I've found plenty of pics and info on the...

    Need to replace crank seal and timing belt. Separate jobs or pull engine?

    So have a clio with a leak from the crank seal behind the flywheel. I know I can address this by removing the subframe, gearbox etc and installing it with the engine supported from above. It's done few miles so the tensioner/idlers/dephaser will be fine, but the cambelt is just over 5 years...

    Wiring diagram for everything powered from the engine bay fuse/relay box

    Does anyone have a wiring diagram, excerpt from one, or a link where I can find out which fuses serve which relays and which relays provide power for what? I'm specifically interested in the fuel pump/ignition relay, but could do with the whole lot if possible. Thanks

    Clio idles at 2000rpm on cold start and throttle pedal doesnt work. Once restarted it's fine.

    So my clio starts from cold and idles at 2000 rpm and the the throttle pedal doesnt do anything at all. If i let it run for a little while, shut it off and restart it, it's perfect. Once its sorted, the throttle works fine, and it idles fine, suggesting its not an issue with the throttle pedal...

    Whine from behind dash with ignition on?

    My ph2 172 has a whining noise from behind the dash, sounds like its coming from behind the centre vents. It's audible whenever the ignition is on. I had assumed fan noise, but it's there even with the climate control panel turned off. Anyone had anything similar and can point me in the right...

    CLIP V153 - 32bit only?

    I'm trying to install CLIP (older version) and getting driver errors. Does anyone know if the drivers are 64bit compatible, or just 32bit? I have a vague recollection that last time I had to use a 32bit virtual machine on my laptop. Thanks

    Clio front foglights not working

    I've checked the bulbs and they are ok, checked for power in the plugs, nothing. I've confirmed power at the fuse on the passenger end of the dash, and the indicator lamp on the dash illuminates. Does anyone have a wiring diagram showing where it goes inbetween? Thanks

    Cruise control - Can someone help me ID plugs please?

    So I have a 2002 Ph2 172 which doesnt have cruise currently. I pulled out the dash panel and there are two unused plugs behind it, in addition to the adjuster wheel connections: Can anyone confirm what these are for? Cruise control and ESP? And then under the dash I have this, attached to...

    Typical symptoms of crank sensor failure?

    So my clio turns over for about 10 seconds before starting, but then always fires up fine, which with other brands I'd attribute to crank sensor failure and starting up on the cam phase sensor. There is no engine management light on the dash however, would one normally expect this? If it is a...

    Aux in for Ph2 172 Tuner List headunit? Socket populated already...

    So I did a little reading yesterday regarding fitting an aux in cable to the clio sport headunits and it was suggested that you needed to know which type of headunit you had, and that there should be an empty socket on the back, adjacent to the yellow plug. I pulled mine out of the dash this...

    Clio 172 central locking not working

    I have a 2002 Ph2 Clio 172 (just purchases) and the remote fob isnt working. I checked for a red light on the fob and there isnt one, so I assume the battery has died. I'll get a replacement at lunch and then check the common solder connections. I then checked both door locks and these work...

    Is a 172 shifter the same as a base model clio?

    As above, I understand the linkage rod to the gearbox may differ, but is the actual white plastic housing bolted to the tunnel and the stick the same? Thanks

    Recaro Sportsters on track?

    Does anyone use the 197/megane seats on track? Are they supportive enough? Looking at using some for another project ( 3 door and need rear access so cant go full buckets) but its a lot of money if they're not similarly supportive. Cheers
