    This just came up in conversation at work and wondering if it was possible? A colleague said that you can buy a kitto do this? Is it possible and is it worth it?!

    Have just noticed there is a crack in my offside rear disc, so these need replacing asap! Where is the best place to go and how much should I expect to pay? Only for road use - about 2500 miles per year! ? Thanks!

    172ph2 hesitant when cold ?

    As the title says, my 2002 172ph2 is hesitating slightly when driving it straight from cold (to and from work!). Once the temp. needle gets up to normal running temp. everything is fine? This only takes a few minutes normally. Seems to pull well through gears when up to temp. But just feels as...

    Replace instrument panel showing petrol, indicator lights etc?

    Ok so I am just seeing if this can be done/is worth doing? I have some of the coating that covers the instrument panel coming away just below my EML. I thought it was black tape at first but after closer inspection can now see it is the panel itself... I realise this will involved taking apart...

    Temp gauge sitting above 1/2 constantly?

    So my temp gauge is sitting one line above half way. From reading online I think it should be on half way? It steadily gets up to temp when driving and doesn’t fluctuate. So any reasons why it would be sitting at this point instead of half way?

    Boot lid mechanism

    Has anyone got a diagram (or link to) of the bootlid mechanism? Last night I realised that mine doesn’t lock? I have removed the trim and the solenoid moves. About 10-15mm to the left? When pressing the key fob. So assume this part is working but mechanically it’s failing somewhere? Any...

    Is my interior temperature sensor missing?

    I am trying to stop my fans blowing hot air constantly in my car. I have climate control and have read about the motors behind the console, but would like to make sure the temp sensor is working first! Should I have one connected to this grey plug? And if so, where can I get one? Thanks!

    Should the outside temperature be showing?

    Should my car be showing the temperature below the clock? Assuming all Clios have this? If the sensor in the wing mirror wasn’t working, I would think it would show a random temperature and possible fault code? Thanks!

    What is missing from my 172 air intake??

    Ok so I am looking to tidy up my air intake. I know I am missing a clip/bracket that holds the top of the filter housing to the outfeed. But what else is missing? The whole box just seems to be sitting on engine pipes and stuff, not actually fixed to anything? Sorry for the daft question but...

    Strange sound coming from engine bay...

    So I turned on the ignition to try connect my OBD reader and had a strange noise coming from under the bonnet. It really seemed as though it was coming from the headlights, as it was from both sides, but I can’t be 100% certain. I took a video to see if anyone has heard anything like it...

    Recommended garage near Beccles, Suffolk?

    Bought my 2002 172 last week and would like to have it fully serviced and checked over - hopefully by someone who knows these cars fairly well. It has had belts, water pump etc done less than 10k miles ago, so should be fine for that. I just want to make sure everything is good with the car...

    2002 172 - lumpy idle, hesitation under load..?

    As per the title, my car has these conditions. When idling, the car really moves, like a van. Revs appear constant. Would this be engine mounts? Second issue I noticed, when putting my foot down in fourth at about 25mph, the car seemed to hesitate a little, as though misfiring. Only time I...

    Recommended garage/mechanic/specialist in Norfolk/Suffolk

    Ok so I bought my 02 172 last weekend and generally like to get any car I buy serviced and checked over. Have never owned a Renault before so is it best to take it to someone that deals with these cars all the time? Or are they fine to take to any trusted mechanic? If I’m to take it anywhere...
